Milkshake ($5) A tad pricey and the size a little small, but as i took a sip of the drink, the small size seemed rather reasonable because it was so gao i was taken aback by the intensity of the milk. First time giving their milkshake a try, but wow if you liked the milkiness of their softserve/gelato, you wouldn't want to miss this out too

Double Scoop ($7) I love their gelato! Has a really nice, creamy consistency, though they do melt quite fast. Not a fan of the cone though, its super airy and reminds me of the macdonalds kind of ice cream cone which i really abhore. Got the matcha and the double cheese. The matcha is quite alright, not too sweet though it wasn't as strong as i would've liked. The double cheese is really good though!

Hokkaido Soft Serve (Chocolate & Matcha) The soft serve was rich in flavour and extremely creamy, but the bear wafer added nothing as it was quite "lou feng".

Absolutely lovely coffee If you are looking for solid coffee in an aesthetic environment, look no further as @alchemist.sg had done it right. They have repurposed the old Khong Guan factory as their cafe, giving it a good mix of both retro and modern vibes! I ordered the Iced Latte ($7) and it was such an enjoyable cup. It was not too acidic, yet strong enough with deep hazelnut and chocolate notes. It had the perfect amount of milk for the strength of coffee. I loved that it was smooth and rich, perfectly for a long sip throughout the afternoon. If I'm around the area, I'm definitely coming back to Alchemist for a good coffee break!

Chocolate Hazelnut Danish Gotten this pastry to go with my cup of mocha. And I must say the chocolate is definitely very creamy and sticky. Fluffy danish with messy chocolate and hazelnut on the top. Just love the combination of flavour and texture.

Mocha Housed under the heritage industrial building at Tai Seng, surprisingly a very peaceful vibe on Sunday morning. Here for a cup of warm mocha to begin my day.

Chicken Roulade Noodle [$9.80] Preferred the tortellini bowl as it had more tender meat, but similarly, we weren’t a big fan of the slightly doughy taste the noodles added into the broth. Would have liked slightly firmer noodles to go along!

Tortellini with Noodle [$9.80] A pretty comforting bowl, but I wasn’t a big fan of the slightly doughy taste the noodles added into the broth. They make their chicken broth from scratch and we enjoyed that hint of floral touch from osmanthus flowers. The generously stuffed handmade tortellini was stuffed with tender minced chicken and a whole prawn.

1 For 1 On Beyond The noodles are buckwheat noodles and soup is not too salty. Making this feel like a healthy option. However the only difference would be the meat, one is a prawn dumpling and another is a sous vide chicken roll. Not great but edible.

Soft Serve $6 One of the best Ive had so far, so refreshing and milky!

Creme Brulee 1 For 1 The caramelized crust is done nicely and the ice cream itself taste really milky and refreshing! Love the deal! Costs $8 for two creme brulee soft serve.

Melon Soft Serve (6.50sgd) Refreshing sweet yubari melon flavor. Generally smooth ice cream texture and slightly icy-gritty. Sweetness tasted pretty natural. Great.

Jing-A Mandarin Wheat For a change, we decided to try out the Jing-A Mandarin Wheat for our second beer! The drink is a Belgium wit and as a result, it is a lot fruitier than the stout we just had, as well as when compared to the other Wheat beers that we have tried here previously. Indeed, we could smell a tinge of oranges and the drink also has slightly citrusy notes, which seem to include flavours of oranges and lemons. This was a really light and refreshing drink, and it is definitely suitable for those of us who don't like the heavy flavours in stout, or the bitterness of IPAs!

4 Pines Stout We are back at Tap for their cheap and good craft beers! Today, we decided to try the 4 Pines stout at Tap first as we wanted to start off with something heavier. The stout, however, tasted rather dry and it was unlike the Peanut Butter Lost Coast stout that we previously tried and was really good. :( Furthermore, it had a pretty boring taste profile and it had no interesting flavours and was just mildly bitter, which is a characteristic of most stouts. Although the 4 Pines stout was rather plain, do take a whiff of it before drinking and you can detect a very faint coffee aroma! Nonetheless, we will probably not get this again as it was a pretty standard stout. Tap surprisingly had quite a few tables full at lunchtime but there are still tables available!

Lost Coast Peanut Butter Choco Stout Come and visit TAP for affordable, and awesome craft beers in Singapore!! :) One of my favourites is the Lost Coast Peanut Butter Choco Stout, which is not as bitter as IPA, and it comes with a slight tinge of a taste resembling peanut butter in it. Makes the aftertaste really unique! 😋

Citrus Lemon Tart The Citrus Lemon Tart is surprisingly good. It has just the right amount of acidity and sweetness, and the buttery tart shell goes well with the lemon curd and torched meringue.

Iberico Pork Ribs The fork-tender Iberico Pork Ribs is coated in a barbecue sauce that is not too overpowering and there is a good balance of meat and fats. However, the baked potato wedges are a little under-seasoned and underwhelming.

Grilled Seabass with Saffron Veloute The Grilled Seabass with Saffron Veloute is delicious. The seabass is fresh, tender and moist, and it goes well with the aromatic saffron sauce. The gnocchi served on the side adds a nice chewy texture to the dish. Love the flavours and texture!

Wide selection Many items to choose from in the buffet menu. Sashimi was thick and fresh. We had a table of 8 so we were seated in the private room w prior reservation. 10% off lunch bill with PayNow

Irodori Japanese Buffet⛩ Went to Irodori Japanese Buffet recently and was pleasantly surprised at their sashimi quality😇 Would say that their cooked food is rather normal but the sashimi is fresh and shiok!! The selections for buffet is also a decent variety but sadly drinks are not included as part of the costs (excluding complimentary hot green tea) Ambience wise is a rather chill and japanesed-themed vibe that feels a little like a household. Dont expect too fancy decorations i would say😅 Total cost for me is about $41 after gst with a 10% promo off mon-thu!! Ratings is an 8/10 hehe worth it and would go again if im craving for sashimi!!🤪

Mediocre Japanese Buffet Food are ok ok only. Nothing special. Nothing great. Menu has quite limited choice. Come with 1 piece of mentaiko prawn. Service is horibly slow. Some item only come after 30 mins of waiting. There is 15% discount for payment by cash or paynow. Drink and dessert are not part of buffet.

Quality dishes in a buffet setting! If you love your Japanese food, this is one buffet restaurant you don't want to miss out on. The buffet itself is priced at $50++, and there were many options in the menu such as sashimi, grilled dishes, tempura, side dishes and udon/soba meal dishes. The quality of the food items were actually pretty impressive! The sashimi slices were all fresh and the cooked dishes were all done well. Favourites got to be their salmon sashimi, as they were so rich and buttery 😍 Their grilled dishes were done well too, especially the grilled saba and salmon slices. They were smokey and the sweet fresh flavours of the meat really shines here! Can't wait to be back!

ala carte buffet free flow of freshness for sashimi lovers. bonus: leave some space for two dishes - mixed zosui (japanese porridge) and sake-chazuke (rice with green tea). Recommend to have it at the end since they are carbs.

Hojicha Latte The hojicha latte ($5) was so fragrant I could smell it when it was brought to me. It has a really strong hojicha flavour and it was rather sweet too.

Iced mocha Initially came for their sweet potato latte which looks delightful but it wasn't available 😩 I ended up getting an iced mocha which was quite good but a bit too sweet for my liking. A generous serving of chocolate was given and it was of a good quality too!

When good looking (cute + chio) baristas make you coffee... Anyway, congrats to Renfred & Abbie to the opening of their new place at Havelock II. I seldom hear Chinese songs being played in cafes already, please do so occasionally. My recommendations here would be the filtered coffee and sweet potato latte. If you find Renfred familiar, he used to be from Campus Superstar and acted in some shows. All grow up already. Do you feel oooold? #DFDCafe #DFDSingapore http://danielfooddiary.com/2017/05/12/slayercoffee/
