Revisiting NamNam

Back at NamNam.

Decent gỏi cuốn.

This be gỏi bưởi tôm thịt- I don't know how to pronounce it. It's a pomelo salad.

Pretty refreshing from the pomelo and a good squeeze of lime.

Chilled truffled wagyu phở. We swished the slices of wagyu in the broth ate them on their own. Pricey bowl but the beef was delicious.

Something called Saigon breakfast. Kinda like a deconstructed bánh mì on a hot pan with eggs, sausages, pate and some...luncheon meat? Sweetness from the sauce and caramelised onions broke the monotony of the rest of the items which I felt were a little light handed with the salt. Would have also been nice if there was more pate than that sad little scoop. Not bad tasting as a whole though.

Passionfruit lemon tea's pretty good. The other was avocado coffee which wasn't that creamy.

Mee kia from SK Noodle House

$5.50 hae mee kia from SK Noodle House. That's a dollar up from the regular portion at $4.50. Nets a bit more prawn and sliced pork. Noodle quantity does not appear to be any different.

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.
