🎶Where the fields are green, to see you once again, MAI love~🎶 . It has been a long time since I last ate Lo MAI Gai (Steamed glutinous rice with chicken, $2.20), which used to be my common breakfast/lunch as a child so it does bring some nostalgia. 😊😊😊 . It’s always a tough choice choosing between this & Fan Choy, with both ranking high on my to-eat list! 😂 Usually it depends on my hunger level for the day - I will go for the latter as it is bigger in portion. As I was just feeling a little peckish from a late breakfast, I opted for the former this time round! 💕 . Do not belittle this little snack/meal - every bite is an explosion of flavours with good layering of textures. ⭐⭐⭐ Featuring a slab of tender & juicy chicken atop a bed of glutinous rice, the succulent chicken which boasts of natural sweetness poses a seamless contrast to the chewy & grainy glutinous rice that is full of savoury flavours with a tinge of pepper. 👍🏻 A perfect marriage of the two! . A simple yet delish light meal that captured my heart & tummy! 😋😋😋 Have a good breakfast friends! 💕

Rainy Day Essentials Gooey Century Egg Lean Meat Congee with Lotus Leaf Rice and Beancurd Skin Roll

Deep-Fried Meat Pau As described. No surprises.

Ice Cream on Red Velvet Waffles Incredibly crisp-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-inside waffles sandwiching ice cream and drizzled with cream cheese. The plating’s done really beautifully too!

Sweetest Dealio! 1-for-1 Salted egg yolk popcorn chicken, superb-yummilicious-pasta (can't remember the name 😭) and southern fried chicken waffle... Absolutely delicious and irresistible 😍 Definitely a spot to check out if you're looking for something different from your usuals

Montana Singapore Nasi Lemak Waffle $16.50 Spiced Chai Latte $5.50 I was intrigued by the name of the dish in the menu Nasi Lemak Waffle. With the country in the patriotic mood, restaurants, cafes and even fast food are dishing out iconic and signature local infused items. As soon as the spiced chai latte was served, i could smell the aroma of the spice a distance away from the cup. There was a good balance between the spices, milk and espresso shot. So my expectations were high for the nasi lemak waffle. When it arrived at my table, i could have smelt a whole plate of nasi lemak if i was blindfolded. And the turn off came when i cut into the sides of the cutlet and see pink parts and i was sure there were even more in the thickest part of the chicken and i was not wrong. Highlighted that to the two staffs whom were chatting behind the bar and they apologised and offered to change a new plate. 15 mins later, a new plate was served and i could see holes on the chicken as the chefs wanted to be sure that it was fully cooked and i really appreciate that effort. The waffle was soaked in pandan flavor with ikan bilis topped. However, the waffle soften and was soggy after the chicken has been resting on it. Proceed to bill and staffs treat it as the uncooked chicken did not occur. Texted Montana on IG and even messaged them at their number on FB but no response for 3 days. Was quite disappointed with their non-chalant service attitude. #burpple

Aburi Broccoli Salad Woah! This bowl of broccoli was really beyond my expectation! The broccoli was torched to crisp. Together with the parmasan cheese and papadom sprinkled on top, which added an extra point to the dish itself. Recommended 👍🏼

Char Siu Pulled Pork Fries Is just shoestring fries mixed with nachos cheese and pulled pork. Not much of char siew taste

Roasted Salmon With Ebiko Scrambled Eggs And Edamame Mash Salmon was baked to a nice softness. Scrambled eggs was just quite normal, but the edamame mash gave this dish an extra oomp! Recommend 👍🏼

Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Bagel [$12.80] Toasted multigrain bagel topped with smoked salmon, creamy scrambled egg, ikura and avacado slices! Very generous portion of smoked salmon and scrambled egg, bagel had the right texture. Worth a try!

50%-Off Fave Deal Steak sandwich was so so tasty! I wonder what that white sauce was, it complemented the grilled striploin and mushroom ragu perfectly. I also loved the lychee konnyaku tea recommended by the staff-- it was aromatic and refreshing. With 50%-off, this deal was definitely a steal!

Affordable Mac N Cheese! Heard about the mac and cheese for the longest time! It was a good fix for mac n cheese craving, but it could get gelard at the end! Nevertheless a cheap choice for a cafe setting!

White Pepper Crab this is not bad! goes by market price; we paid $52 for the medium size

J.B. San Lou Meehoon ($7 - small) nice but too oily

Fried Garlic Chili Clams small size $16

Korean OPPA chicken Korean-Western fusion? At nett prices , choose a base (eg bimbimbap) with your favourite OPPA chicken ( eg soy garlic) . A good choice for Korean fried chicken lovers located in Chinatown area.

Finger Licking Good! On a whim we went to Oppa Chicken for lunch, it was dead quiet with only one other table there during peak hour - we were instantly worried the food will be terrible. We ordered the medium size honey garlic and spicy versions as those were the most popular (Medium size was $22.90 for 10 pcs), and it did not disappoint! Chicken was tender and generously slathered in sauce, and the skin still had a slight crunch to it. The sauce was really good too, especially the honey garlic which wasn't too garlicy and good level of sweetness. Two medium serves were too much for two of us, but definitely enough for three. And with the 1-for-1 entertainer offer, it's a seriously cheap lunch steal (note no additional GST and Service Charge!!). Winning. Definitely coming back here.

Rainy mornings has got me thinking about SPICY KOREAN FRIED #CHICKEN! 🌦🐔 This is @OppaChickenSG's signature Flaming Yangnyum. It starts off sweet with manageable spicy ending notes that quietly creeps up on you as you have more. Follow me on 👻Snapchat for instant updates: Jazpster

Peaceful Cafe With Sufficient Space Feels very comfortable in this cafe with its large area. Lovin' their pork loin, costs $16 as this is their set meal and it includes soup of the day & single scoop ice cream. The latte costs $3 as its set price and you'll get 15% off if you order their cakes. Some said still too pricey for a cafe located in an industrial area but I'm happy with it for its special set price, large area & yummylicious pork loin (I'm not a pork lover though)...

This dish should be nicknamed "Johnny Storm" because... ... "Flame On!" ... ... I sense shudders going down people's spines. ANYWAY, the actual name of the dish is Flame Brandy Chicken, which fully describes it: 1. The waitress doused the half chicken that was sitting on a mash potato bed with brandy - A LOT of brandy 2. She then whipped out a lighter, told me to get my camera ready, and set the dish ablaze The flame of course was nowhere near to causing fowl play (here we go again), lasting a mere few seconds. I wish it had burned off more brandy, because the astringent or "siap siap" alcoholic taste was overpowering and affected the otherwise delicious meal. Set meals here are super economical, costing $20 or less which includes soup and ice cream, and discounted prices for beverages and cakes. The big space here can accommodate huge parties, but the downside is that it's located in the secluded Kallang industrial area.

Photogenic Food!! Baked potato skin and breakfast combo. Potato skin was cool! Tasted pretty good. Stuffed with bacon and cheese. Nice ambience in the cafe too, with korean pop playing.

Blue Velvet Waffles (S$11) Finally got around to trying Buck Tile St. Cafe after reading the reviews highlighting and praising their Blue Velvet Waffles. This hideout is nestled in the nucleus of landed properties of Faber Drive - so be prepared to do a fair bit of walking if you're intending on travelling here by train and bus. Anyway, let's break this down - it's your usual tried-and-true formula of waffles and a scoop of ice-cream, sprinkled with cyan sugar crystals (I can't tell if it's granulated or demerara or something else), some confectioners sugar dusted across the diameter, and a side of cyan white cocoa sauce for you to drizzle over the waffles. The waffles are soft to the touch and embody a distinctly chewy texture, which is hard to not notice when you're digging in it. When it arrived at my table, I was immediately greeted with a robust, bready aroma. I wasted no time in diving into it. I have to admit though that I was not keen on the waffles that were sourdough chewy. I guess I prefer mine less chewy and more crispy. The blue white chocolate sauce too – it felt like an aesthetic addition to the dessert more than anything – the milky-cum-chocolatey flavour was subtle at best. Yet, I would not say it was awful. It just fell short of my expectations. It's worth checking out if you have the afternoon to yourself, if not with a few friends. Besides, they do have plenty of fares for you to choose from. 😉 (6/10)

The Morrisa Tandoori chicken, sliced yellow cheese, blue cheese sauce. Accompanied by mini hash browns.

Because Red Velvet is just too mainstream. Therefore, it is a refreshing experience after having this Blue Velvet Waffle with Ice Cream (S$11.90). You get to choose your ice cream flavour from their menu, and they will serve this waffle and a scoop of ice cream on top of it, plus the blue velvet that can be mistaken as clothes detergent. This dish is interesting to capture on camera, but we all know the novelty will go once everyone starts to create sauces of various colours (think Rainbow Velvet). Be warned, that this café is quite deep inside a private estate, so it is best to visit if you have a means of transport there.

Uji Matcha Cake [$40] Birthday cake choice this year is Chef Yamashita’s Uji Matcha Cake! Only thought that the toppings didn’t really match the cake, but otherwise it was a very lovely one to have - light cream all around and especially enjoyed the middle matcha cream that was distinctly bittersweet. Sponge was soft too. We had the smallest size but they have many sizes to pick from to suit your occasions

Coffee Cookies, Almond Cookies I love both the cookies. Buttery and fragrant and also affordable at $6.80 per pack. Cny period and others are selling cookies at cut throat prices. I don't really fancy the fanciful tins of some shops. I rather the shop spend less and pass the savings on to the consumer. Just my personal opinion. I am going to eat the cookies and not the tin anyway. On the left of the picture is the Earl Grey financier. Somehow I don't really detect the fragrance of any Earl Grey. I will give the financier a miss.

Assorted Cakes Go for the Mille feuille and the strawberry short cakes. They are really good. The textures of the flaky pastry, the tart strawberry, the cake part and the light creams are such a good match. The chocolate renga is decent but I still prefer rive gauche version which has a thicker layer of crunch. The chocolate puff is also light. But i still recommend going for their cakes.

Speculoo Cupcake I am in 2 minds about this cupcake. I love the centre which consist of a core of speculoo paste. I love the taste of lotus biscoff. The part I am undecided is that the cream and cake part is also quite sweet. While I like this cupcake, it got a little too much towards the end. I think I don't have a sweet tooth. So it might work for those who really love sweet stuff.

Red Velvet Cupcake Ah this cupcake is too sweet for me. Maybe those with sweet tooth will like it.

Chocolate Cupcake with rich Icing Between the Red Velvet Nutella and the Chocolate Orange Salted Caramel (pictured on the bottom half), I’ll go with the latter. A very moist cupcake, with a dab of salted caramel centre, the tangy liquorish was a nice of kick to the chocolate icing. It’s a little on a pricey side for $4 a muffin or ($20 for 6), but overall a nice cupcake I might come back for from time to time. *Note: my taste palate leans towards dark bitter chocolate at a sweet spot of 65%-72% cocoa. So please use that as a gauge of my taste perspective.
