Breakfast from Rasa Raja Bojun (රස රජ බොජුන්)

Noticed these round roti from Rasa Raja Bojun and got a couple of them for breakfast along with some quail eggs. Texture of the roti was dense, somewhat bready and lightly salted. I liked them with the lentils and spiced coconut.

Sambal for the quail eggs didn't pack a lot of heat and had a tomato-y flavour to them.

Revisiting The Stamford Brasserie

Back at The Stamford Brasserie for a dinner of pastries, savouries and sweets.

Coffee praline croissant.

Nice milky coffee cream filling inside the layered pastry. Not overly sweet too. 👍🏼

Snail pork sausage with a delicious caramelized onion gravy. Love the meaty sausage. Those creamy pappardelle-like things on top were sheets of potatoes. Tangy like a potato salad and also a little crunchy.

Seared halibut in amandine sauce was ethereal and buttery under the crispy skin.

Manjari chocolate rabbit which had an anise scented cherry compote and no rabbit meat. 😏 Not bad.

Oriental Kopi, Bugis Junction

Queue's pretty long at the local Oriental Kopi (#02-50 Bugis Junction, 200 Victoria Street). While I normally balk at joining such a queue, I ended up it it. Was about an hour before we got seated.

Iced Royal Chocolate was awesome. Thick, sweet and rich chocolate that coats the oesophagus going down.

 Ice cham cincau also pretty good tasting.

Tried their bolo bun.

The two slices of butter and shot of condensed milk goes into the hot bun.

Nice. Warm, crumbly and a sweet butteriness.

Briyani's decent. Tasted lots of raisins in the rice. What I did not enjoy of this was the rendang from the chicken which had a sweetness that threw off the savouriness of the briyani.

Deliciously savoury/salty mee hoon with their ayam berempah.

Teh's decent.

Kopi's also decent.

More rolls from Cinnabon

The hot mochi inside was sticky soft and kinda nice with the pistachio cream for this roll.

Peanut buttery and chocolate-y at the same time. Pretty good.

Prawn noodle from Sin Kian Heng Minced Meat Noodle (新建興肉脞面)

Noticed someone eating prawn noodles the last time we were here so we decided to try it today. They were out of the bigger prawns today so we couldn't get those.

Soup from the dry prawn noodles came with an assortment of pork parts like ribs, lard and sweet intestines. Bowl's oil rich and pretty tasty.

Some of the prawns were pretty tiny.

Mee pok portion was kinda puny as well. Flavour's not lacking from the saucing and chilli for sure though.

Kosong + extra egg from Shiok Hokkien Mee

 

That'll be extra chilli on the side as well. Shiok Hokkien Mee has a kosong option which omits the proteins normally included in each plate...namely the prawns, squid and pork belly. Flavour's as good as the regular plate.
