📍Raffles Hotel📍
💸 Champagne Truffle Snow-Skin Mooncake: $99 ($79.20 after discount)
...
Hope everyone had a great Mid-autumn festival celebration🥮! This year, we tried the Raffles Hotel Champagne Truffle Snow-Skin Mooncake, which boasts a luxurious flavour combination - White lotus paste with a White Chocolate Champagne Truffle core. Not too sweet and the champagne flavour was pretty strong🥂. However, we were not really fans of the snow skin. It was nice and soft but had a taste that we felt did not go well with the filling. Our expectations were too high and unfortunately the mooncake didn't live up to it.🥺

📍Danlao, Maxwell Food Centre📍
💸 Chicken Cutlet Scrambled Egg Rice: $6
💸 Tomato and Char Siew Scrambled Egg Rice: $7
...
Had some really satisfying rice bowls at Danlao! The star of the show was definitely the scrambled eggs🍳 which were super soft and creamy. Also loved the wide variety of toppings we could add on. We tried the chicken cutlet, char siew and tomato🍅. Definitely recommend the chicken cutlet, super crispy and juicy🍗! Tomato was not bad as well, nice and saucy. The char siew was a little dry though, in our opinion!

Also, we felt that the sauce on the rice that day was a little salty. This made the rice bowl lean on the saltier end, given that the eggs and toppings were already well seasoned😅. Nevertheless, still a super comforting rice bowl to have🍚. Generous portions and reasonably priced as well🤗!

📍Cantonese Delights, Hong Lim Food Centre📍
💸 Curry Fried Chicken Cutlet Noodles: $5
...
Finally managed to drop by Hong Lim Food Centre for this famed Curry Fried Chicken Cutlet Noodles on a weekday morning!🥳 Omg this was really good! The thin noodles were springy and delicious when coated in that thick and fragrant curry🍜. The Chicken Cutlet was freshly fried on the spot and was really crispy🍗! It's a pretty heavy breakfast for us to have in the morning, so we'll probably come closer to the lunch hour the next time. Hopefully they haven't sold out by then🥲!!

📍Coffee Break, Hong Lim Market & Food Centre📍
💸 Iced Kopi C Kosong: $1.60
💸 Iced Black Sesame Latte: $4.50
💸 Black Sesame Toast : $3.50
...
We've always been interested to try Coffee Break, for they serve coffee and toasts in pretty unique flavours🙌! We thought their coffees were pretty average as they tasted a little diluted, definitely had better elsewhere☕. Their black sesame latte was also a bit grainy and the black sesame taste was not strong enough😅. On the other hand, we loved their black sesame toast. The bread was thin and crispy🍞, and had a generous amount of black sesame spread and thick slab of butter🧈. Great bread-to-filling ratio, definitely recommend trying this out if you want something different from the usual Kaya toast😃.

📍Tsukimi Hamburg, Hougang Mall📍
💸 Tsukimi Hamburg Don: $13.80
*Prices not inclusive of GST and Service Charge
...
We're so excited Tsukimi Hamburg opened an outlet in the East, giving us an opportunity to finally try it! Their signature Tsukimi Hamburg Don is a very comforting bowl with rice🍚, Hamburg steak, radish, topped with creamy egg yolk🍳. Their Hamburg steak is a mix of US beef, pork and Miyazaki Wagyu beef. We loved that it's thick and juicy, but felt that it has more pork than beef taste🥩. The donburi also came with house-made sauce that tastes like Kombu and bonito. However, we felt that the taste of the sauce was a bit too mild and preferred the brown sauce that comes with other Hamburg steaks usually😅. They have other interesting types of donburis and set meals revolving around Hamburg steak, we'll probably try those the next time😄!

📍ATLAS, Parkview Square📍
💸 Afternoon tea: $64
*Prices not inclusive of GST/Servvice Charge

We've been wanting to try Atlas' afternoon tea since forever but it's so difficult to get a reservation🥺. Really lucky we managed to book a slot a few months in advance🙏! We really liked the pastries and desserts. Each had pretty unique flavour combinations that are different from the norm🍞. Usually for afternoon tea sets, there would be some items that are misses for us. But for this, all the items were pretty good🍮! Lovely selection of tea as well, we really enjoyed the Kukicha Green especially🍵. We'll be trying to book their Christmas afternoon tea next, hopefully we'll succeed!😄

📍Heap Seng Leong, North Bridge Road📍
💸 Kaya Butter Toast (2 slices): $1.40
💸 Soft-boiled Eggs (2 eggs): $1.40

Weekend calls for a good local breakfast at Heap Seng Leong with the family! Their charcoal-grilled toast is pretty good, soft and crispy🍞. The cold butter was also a pretty thick slab, making it super satisfying to bite into🧈. However we felt that their kaya is not as fragrant, and the amount given could be more as well🥹! Special shout-out to their soft-boiled eggs though🥚, they were huge and fresh, super yumz!

📍日日茶 Ri Ri Cha, Chinatown📍
💸 Nian Gao Waffle with Honey Chamomile and Blue Pea Ice Crram: $11.30
💸 Duck Shit Oolong Ice Cream with Mochi Skin: $6.50

Decided to try out this new cafe as we were intrigued by their Nian Gao Waffles and interesting ice cream flavours🍦. We were excited for the waffles, but felt that it was pretty average as the Nian Gao was not as warm and stretchy as we would've liked🧇. The taste was also covered by the waffle and ice cream too, which was a pity. The ice cream though, was really good, especially the Duck Shit Oolong which had a strong oolong taste with floral notes🌸. We'll recommend trying that for sure if you're a fan of tea flavoured ice cream🍵. Loved the pairing with the soft mochi skin as well, but it was a little tough to eat as the mochi skin was hard to cut with the spoon provided🥄. It's a little crowded in the afternoon, but still a nice place to chill at😌!

📍Nanyang Kopi Kia Claypot Coffee, Alexendra Village Food Centre📍
💸 Kopi C Kosong: $1.80

Newly opened drinks stall at Alexendra Village Food Centre, pretty interesting as it brews its coffee in a claypot☕. We ordered our usual Kopi C, however we felt that the coffee taste was pretty mild. The milk they added feels a bit different too, as the Kopi C was a little sweet even though we ordered it with no sugar🧂. It's pretty good, but we probably won't come back for it as we prefer stronger coffee😅. The waiting time for this can get a little long too as their coffee is brewed in small batches using the claypot🙂!

📍Unatoto, Guoco Tower📍
💸 Unadon Double: $14.50
💸 Umaki: $5.50
*Prices not inclusive of GST/Service Charge

Unatoto is a pretty newly opened fast food Unagi Chain from Japan. Truly lived up to it's "fast food" concept, as the price of Unagi dons are pretty affordable and our food was served quickly🧑‍🍳. We really enjoyed our Unagi Don with double portion of unagi, as the Unagi was a pretty thick slice, hence really satisfying to eat🍚. It was also soft and nicely grilled with a slight char. Not too sweet as well, and if you want more sauce, they do have different sauces and condiments you can add, hence really customisable🧂! However, having just the Unagi Don was a little one dimensional for us, so we got an Umaki as well for some variety🍳. The egg was really good, soft and fluffy. There wasn't much Unagi rolled it in, think just having the egg itself would suffice as well. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. The queue can be quite long during mealtimes, but it moves pretty fast. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and have some time to wait😌!

📍Cinnabon, Raffles City📍
💸 Mini Mix and Match (2 Mini Classic, 1 Mini Caramel Pecabon, 1 Mini Chocobon) : $17

Being huge fans of cinnamon rolls, we were really excited when Cinnabon opened in Singapore😍. Seeing the cinammon roll being soaked in syrup and covered in frosting, we were a little apprehensive at first. It was not super duper sweet, but still a little sweet for our liking🍯. We also felt that it got a bit dense and hard after a while. It'll probably be better to have it while it’s warm😅. Not the most healthy snack to munch on, more of an indulgence once in a while. However, you might want to wait till the queues subside a little before heading down🥲!
