Gobi cakes

Feeling like a tai tai?
Head down to the rich people place and act like one.

Gobi located at joo chiat is a good choice for those who are interested to act atas. With so many creations, how to choose? Stay calm and keep that atas face. Act like u are scrutinizing the menu. Then order like a pro with ang moh slang. Use your DIY manicured bloody red OPI nails to point.

Some daily specials and tea set available on weekdays. Truely for the tai tais only.

Chic and simple interiors.

Even teapot also must atas ok. Next time i sell AA ones. Sure earn money.

Black forest torte

Haha, how to pronounce this?

Don't pronounce "tor teh" but "tort".

It refers to a rich cake made from very little flour. Usually multi layered.

Gobi has it so perfectly blended.

Cherries are soaked in alcohol and you have them whole.

Vanilla ice cream is smooth and gives a creamy after taste that isnt overwhelming.

Strawberries are huge and fresh.

Creme brulee.

Read "cream brew lay"

Soft smooth, better than tauhuey.

Slightly charred and rich in caramel taste.

The chocolate sauce complements and brings out the caramel milky taste.

It slides down your throat so fast that you can hardly notice that you have already gobbled it up.

Some nice flower tea to go along. The perfect tai tai.

Can i change the tag to tai tai note instead?

Auntie aka tai tai note: Not cheap but definitely for the quality. Cakes are almost perfect. I wouldn't mind going there regularly when i am truely a tai tai.

Chin Lee Restaurant

Its mother's day and mummy's bday!
Back to Chin Lee for nom nom session.

Salivating?

Each time chin lee never fails to deliver food of good quality and standard.

Refer to my previous post: http://simplelovesimplefood.blogspot.com/2010/09/ah-ma-bday.html

This time round mum and dad can also try this legendary mr frozen crab. Roe-filled shells and yummylicious firm yet juicy meat.

Prawn fritters are also of some standard. Definitely not minced fatty pork. The mixture of prawns and pork is of a great balance, creating fritters of complex texture and taste. The blend of meat and prawns brought out the seafood freshness and distinct pork taste. Did i forget the crispy outer skin?

Homemade tofu with meat sauce. Smooth tofu covered with minced meat. This homely dish goes well with the rice and made everyone hungry. The ginger were fried till crispy and went extremely well with the sauce.

Chestnut chicken was one of the not so significant dish for the night. Even though it was good it didn't wow us. The chicken was tender and soft, with meat falling off the bones easily. Just 1 complain - the chestnut taste was not infused into the dish. The sauce and chicken had different identities.

Fried hor fun was good. Not too dry, not too oily. The kuey teow had the wok hei taste. Perfect for the teochew palette as there is superb cai pou added. Slightly charred with a tinge of burnt taste. If you dislike burnt food taste don't try this.

A good neighbourhood restaurant for the family. If not looking for something too fanciful, this is definitely worth a trip. Other than the crab, the rest of the dishes are reasonably priced. Comparable to hawker tzi char. With a higher budget try mr frozen crab! approx $50 for 1, shared by 2-3 people.

Auntie note: Call ahead for a table indoors and also to reserve crabs. walk-ins on weekends would require some waiting time.

Strictly not worth a visit

Have been consuming my calories lately due to the ageing syndrome.
But with less carbs added, junk food didnt appear less frequent.
Weekend nights are filled with girly laughters and late night shows.
I'm blogging at work on the first day.
Could it then be a good start?

Anyway. Just going to review this over rated place to warn you people not to waste your hard earned money there.

Strictly pancakes.
Over rated place.

Pancakes are just comparable to macdonald's.
Selection of pancakes is limited considering this restaurant specialising in pancakes.

CHICKEN A LA KING

Dry asparagus

Not very sweet onion sauce

Chicken nothing special. Aston does a better job.

GARLIC BUTTER PRAWNS

overly buttery. The pancakes wonderfully soaked up all the sauce you feel like you are munching on a piece of butter. Definitely expected more from $14.

There is a choice of butter to choose from. Something which i guess made my visit less terrible.
Garlic and herb butter was fragrant and went well with the pancakes.
Rum and raisin on the other hand was not significantly flavoured. There are traces of raisins but that's about it.

Its definitely not worth going back to the place. Tell me this is a place for sweet pancakes? Neighbours around aren't able to stomach them either. Perhaps the youngsters would like this chill out place. The sweet pancakes will be good to go around the table but not as a meal.

Auntie note: service charge, waiting time of 45 mins. cramped tables. i'm sorry.
