Missy Loong's Bday

Miss YuYing's Birthday simply means free meals one after another.

Saizeriya is local japanese food cafe that is in the very "jappy" mall- Liang Court.

They serve western food and some italian fusion as well.


We ordered almost all the sides they have because the girls were hungry.

1) Cheese baked scallop

Basically, the cafe has got this special baking dish that has pitholes in it for the chef to place the scallops and cover them up with cheese then put into the oven. I personally feel that this is quite a good invention because the final product looks very presentable, the scallop's juice are well contained in the depressions, and the cheese on top is evenly baked.

But it was to my disappointment that the scallop was small, not very QQ, the sauce also lacked flavour.




2) Spicy sausage

Juicy, served on a hot plate and sizzling. The sausage is not too hot to numb your tastebuds and is flavour filled. Accompanied by some potato wedges (real potato, not those mashed up and deep fried) it is definitely scoring!



3) Honey drumlets

I have to give special critique to these drumlets. Well marinated, soft tender, juicy and easily off the bones. They taste similar to those selling in pizza hut, but less sweet. The wings make the best dish of the day.



4) Garlic Mussles.

Served on the hot plate sizzling, the garlic sauce is great, similar to vongole. The mussles used were fresh and chewy. The garlic pieces are of considerable sizes to add on to the texture.


5) Clam chowder

The soup served is of the right thickness. Other ingredients were added like carrots and potato, clams were generously added too. Not too salty also.

My first experience with the snail

Yes, Escargot..... With fragrant garlic sauce it was fine and well chewed before i swallowed this particular animal. I have to say it was ok for a beginner. Just a tad salty. I thought it would be rather chewy like other shells, but it wasn't. Slightly mushy. Plus the colour looked a bit "dirty"



Miss lim's main: Braised pork western style?

I forgot the exact name, just that the taste resembles chinese braised pork.




My main: Seafood gratin

The creamy gratin is too creamy. Mr Dennis says that the left over cream sauce is enough to bake a new seafood gratin. I have to say the combination of the sauce and the cheese is good. But if eaten without the cheese it gets a bit sick and gelard. But something worth applauding will be the big huge size of the seafood. The scallops here are larger than the side dish.


The most original Hawaiian pizza for Ms Quek

Welll done i should say, the crust not the thin kind but is soft and fluffy, the ingredients on top well sufficient plus the cheese used not too salty and artificial.


Seafood Risotti for Mr Dennis

This reminds me of cooking mama. The dish is similar to pasta, just adding sauce to the rice. As a first timer i think i prefer the pasta version. The rice soaked up the sauce and thus makes you sick of the taste faster. The sauce also got a "虾米" taste that i felt was rather odd.




Miss Loong's main was beef hamburg which i didn't taste but looks good.



The day was well spent with the group of 老朋友. The rings below are made by Miss Yee Chuan and they look so superlicious. Those who are interested can visit her website

http://scoopies-doc.blogspot.com/ She does many other interesting designs and also do customisation. What will be a better gift for a foodie friend?



Last but not last, Happy Birthday Woman.....



Auntie note:

This place is great for treats as the food is well affordable.


Something interesting on the menu that i didn't get to try....

Timbre? Disappointment

Me and boy exhausted and tired after whole day of work, so whats better than home?
I wanted to give boy a surprise by ordering his favourite pizza from timbre but because of lack of cash had to ask him to help in deciding.

This service is actually by Hungrygowhere. Simply enter your postal code to let the website calculate your delivery charge based on distance away from the desired restaurant. There is quite a range of restaurants for you to choose from.

Delivery charge for us is the 2nd most expensive range of $8.50. But compared to taking cab, this is quite worthy. A $5 surcharge is applicable for orders under $40 (exclude delivery charges), so we ying ying also wan to hit $40.

We ordered a pizza! Chose the half half pizza because its $2 more expensive, and can hit our $40! We had half roasted garlic shrimp and the other half spicy Cajun chicken and basil.


This is goodness. But more than half is for the prawn, i like the chicken more!
The pizza crust is good, not too soft for my ah ma teeth. The dough tasted a little sweet, and is perfect with all the wonderful ingredients. The chicken is breast meat, not oily at all.

Next up is the all time favourits, Buffalo wings..... at $8.60 you get 5 pieces, and because its 2 jointed, meaning 10 pieces..... The sauce was delivered seperately so that it wouldn't be mushy...


A pity is the extra thick batter. The buffalo wings served at timbre doesn't taste like this. But the strong tumeric smell of the wings is still good.


My complain: Hot and spicy seafood platter for $12.90.
The portion was small till beyond imagination. 3 medium size prawns, 2 mussles, about 5 sotong rings. The hot and spicy sauce is merely the same sauce as the buffalo wings fried with some garlic. Superbly cheated.


Auntie note: You don't have to pay 10% service charge for delivery.

Ikea eat out

Was bored at home so decided to head to Ikea for some food and jalan jalan.
Jus some bored pics of me and hui....





So lets have some famous chicken wings. I have to say even though Ikea is suppose to sell furnitures they do put in effort in the food. I guess when you are addicted to the food you will come here often and end up being a customer even if it was only a cup or a photoframe, they get to benefit.

Chicken wings was delicious, it was pipping hot even though there were loads of people. Well marinated deep into the bones. The meat was tender and even my braces teeth can bite through it without difficulty.



Vegetarian spag to keep a balanced meal and stop myself from over eating.
Spag sauce used was slightly watery but good still. Not too little to cover all the pasta, but lacking in ingredients. Its like as thou telling all vegetarians that they are not important. Kind of sad. Please give more veggies!!!



Just a short post, will be back with a lot more. Was having an overeating weekend with boy and loads of photos overdue!

Auntie note: Find some one with Ikea Friends card to go with you and get to enjoy 2 free soft drinks or 2 coffee for free! plus, there is a daily special combo for members which is cheaper by quite a bit.

The famous? Think again.

The very much oomphed over hell spicy wings that is in the most secluded area of Singapore.


Yes, we found this place after getting lost in some air base area only to realise the restaurant is even more secluded. We followed some small yellow sign board in order to come this far.




We ordered level 2 cos some of my friends don't really take spicy food. level 2 is definitely tolerable i should say, the spice level is similar to normal dry ba chor mee chilli. However, what i felt lacking was the marinate of the chicken. Perhaps the restaurant can't cope with the large number of chicken wings they had to process each day and thus the chicken wings weren't really tasting well marinated at all. It had to depend on the chilli taste which was unable to deliver the full potential of bringing out the juicy chicken wings. Great disappointment. Half a dozen cost $18.50 and a dozen cost 29.50, the higher the level the more expensive it will be. I will rate this 2.4 out of 5.




We ordered our mains as well. This was boy's order. Pan fried fish $16.50


The small little piece of fish barely fills the stomach. It was topped with almonds which wasnt crispy, so what's the point? The side dishes weren't served with much sincerity as it doesn' look appetizing at all. 3 out of 5.


This is to share, BBQ combo with half a chicken, and half rack of pork ribs. Sky high price $29.80


The chicken was normal, not extremely delicious. Barely succenlent and not finger licking good. The pork ribs had a porky smell perhaps it was kept frozen for too long. Not fresh. The whole dish had to be finished off with the help of Mr Chilli Sauce. Thanks for the great invention. 2.8 out of 5



This is the best order for the day will be the deep fried button mushroom. I forgot the price thou but remembered it was expensive. Nearly a dollar for 1 mushroom if u divide it. Served pipping hot and filled with juicy mushroom that oozes when bitten. The batter used was well seasoned and it didn't cover the natuaral taste of the mushroom. It was slightly oily but i guess it is unavoidable. rate this 4.2 out of 5.




Auntie note: prices shown on the menu is inclusive of all taxes and there's no service charge. But even so, the prices are definitely over priced.



The overall ambience of the place isn't very much decorated. open air but u have to sit on kopitiam chair and table like as thou eating tze char. mosquito coil was placed on some of the tables and weren't warned of its presence. The toilet was filthy and the flush and lock were not working well, had to ask a fren to guard the door for me.


Totally had a bad experience dinning there.
