Replacing the Garrett popcorn shop at the basement of Wisma is the famous ben's cookie from England (honestly, I didn't know they are famous until I googled, sorry if I sound suaku but people haven't been to England ma 😂😂) Anyways, they look and sound super good so I couldn't resist when I walked past it. Flavors I tried: Triple chocolate chunk, White chocolate & macadamia, Double chocolate & nuts, PB & milk chocolate, Coconut, Cranberry & white chocolate, Milk chocolate orange (how to resist when you hear this kind of combination?!?! There must be a flavor that'll definitely catch your attention right?!?!) A box of 7 cost $14.75 (buy 5 get 2 free). The cookies are super duper soft with truckloads of fillings, I love the fillings and flavors but it can be a little too sweet towards the end. 👍👍 worth a try
At this Teochew muay style coffee shop, loyal patrons swear by the decievingly simple dishes of salted egg bitter gourd, and the steamed mince pork with salted fish. Also known for super fresh steamed fish, you'd be really missing out if you didn't order one for the table.
Expect to queue on the weekends at this alluring establishment, and be prepared for a great meal. For something different, go for the Turkish Full Breakfast. If you like your runny eggs (of course you do), go for the poached organic eggs sitting atop braised ox cheeks, or the swoon-worthy Croque Monsieur. Finish off with a coffee, cider, or glass of white wine. Don't expect the usual cafe prices! Photo by Huixuan Tan
Eggs Benedict with a twist! Poached egg on juicy steak with fluffy muffin and yummy spicy roasted potatoes!
On the same day that I went to "the lokal" to try and satisfy my craving (which I didn't manage to....) I ended up at drury lane.... Because they served banana bread with espresso butter ($2.5), different version as compared to the lokal but it was really good. It was moist and full of banana flavor and the espresso butter was just unique??? 😄😄 And as I was having too much sweets, I wanted something savory and I went for Cloud 9.4 ($12) - bacon infused fluffy pancakes with honey!! The pancake was pretty good with small stripes of bakkwa like bacon inside, not too bad really! And I had a latte! (They are using Papa Palheta's nuts and bolts) don't mind the art, their coffee is good!! Anyway, they do not have service charge nor gst and THEY OFFER FREE WIFI 😁😁😁
Oz Specialty Coffee works hand in hand with Thailand's largest boutique coffee roaster, Pacamara, offering Pacamara's exceptional roasted coffee on a fixed basis. They sometimes feature other guest blends from time to time too. If the weather's too hot for a hot coffee, go for their bottled cold brew - it's much less acidic and is the perfect thirst quencher. If you have any questions about coffee, they'll be more than happy to answer them!
Pillows of chocolate and caramel mouse on a chocolate biscuit-cake base, surrounded by buttery crumble and adorned with berries. A bigger portion would've been nice.
Monday morning and I feel like I need a little sugar to get my system running. Colouring aside, this layered red velvet cake with a middle of cream cheese and topping of white chocolate swirls is pretty rad.
Berries and mashed bananas buried under golden-brown crumble and topped with ice cream make up this juicy dessert.
I'm not usually swayed by green tea desserts, but this puddle of matcha goop in a thin shell of cake has just the right balance of bitter and sweet – it's further enhanced by the contrast of ice cream and red bean sauce on the side.
Very tickled that "durian" is called "tu-rean" in Thai, but linguistics aside, this dessert of warm sticky rice pudding with deliciously pungent, creamy durian flesh and coconut milk is just tremendous. Soooo worth the calories!
