Love the beefiness from the gristly beef balls. Just can't see myself ordering anything else than this milky pickled vegetable soup anytime in the near future.

Maccha House, Orchard Central

Dropped by Maccha House (B1-40 Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Road, tel : +65 6636 5830) for nibbles.

Maccha House, sausage mozzarella corndog

Tried their sausage & mozzarella corndog because...I don't think I've had a corndog before and this was a good time as any to try. Kinda tasted like how I imagined it would. Didn't expect sugar. Felt kinda Korean. What I also didn't see coming was that only half that dog had the sausage with the other half being just cheese. One would think that it would be cheese covered sausage inside but no.

It was precisely what the menu depicted. 😔

Maccha House, matcha tiramisu

Matcha tiramisu's not bad tasting. Wasn't very sweet and had plenty of matcha flavour coming through. Portion was pretty small though.

Maccha House, matcha latte

Matcha latte's also kinda nice. Milky and matcha-y with a pleasant light sweetness served piping hot.

Biscoff ban chang kueh from Munchi Pancakes

Munchi Pancakes, biscotti

Here's an admission. This was in probability my first Biscoff flavoured anything. I've had the cookie, just never other stuff with its flavour. I liked this Biscoff pancake from Munchi Pancakes (B2-22/23/24 Guoco Tower, 1 Wallich Street, tel : +65 8312 6203) though and enough that I've come back for it a second time. 😬

Crispy garlic spice beef bibimbap from Sukiya (すき家)

Sukiya (すき家), crispy garlic spice beef bibimbap

Sukiya has brought back their bibimbap again and I wanted to try the crispy garlic spice beef bowl which I missed previously. I had the idea that there would be cloves of garlic in it from the picture on the menu but turns out that there wasn't any at all. Just some spicy garlic bits which weren't extraordinarily spicy or garlicky. The ratio of rice to the other ingredients were off compared to a proper one. Would have been great if there were more toppings/vegetables to "balance" that ratio but it was a quick fix and did the job.

There's a newly featured passion fruit soba at Healthy Soba IKI (十一十二十三十四十五十六十七十八十九二十二十一) this month. It also appears that one of their previous seasonal, the ichijiku raimu soba, has made it to a regular item on their menu. Woohoo!

The passion fruit came in the form of passion fruit jellies which accompanied the noodles in lemon infused tsuyu. Pretty refreshing. The only thing I didn't enjoy much were the stringy pieces of chicken breast.

Those passion fruit jellies are also making appearances in their toasted buckwheat burrata!

The Foie King from Two Men Bagel House

Two Men Bagel House, the foie king

Flavour of the month for March at Two Men Bagel House , , , , , , , , , , 十一, 十二, 十三, 十四, 十五十六十七十八, 十九二十二十一二十二二十三二十四二十五) which is a collaboration with Forged By Vow - a bunch of folks from Sydney who supplies cultured Japanese quail foie gras call Forged Gras. First quail foie gras in the world I gathered. 

And what might be cultured quail foie gras you might wonder. It's grown from the cells of the bird somewhere, just not in the quail. A body-less liver! 😲

Two Men Bagel House, the foie king

Foie King in their plain bagel. I don't remember having the plain before but it's a good canvass for trying new flavours. What came through was the honey mustard and the Forged Gras - the latter not so different from duck foie gras. Sous vide chuck roll was pretty tender. Not registering much of the double cheddar or jalapeño relish. I'm caught between being not sure and intrigued.

One week later......

Foie King in blueberry bagel today. Tasted more of the sous vide chuck with the Forged Gras quite prominent in the foreground. I think I like this.
