Featured here are the following items:
Mango Pomelo Bird's Nest ($12.90): Super tasty drink! This is not your usual mango pomelo sago, as other than the usual ingredients, it comes topped with birdnest as well as pudding! Lots to eat in every mouthful!
Orange Camellia Tea ($5.90): If you prefer something lighter, check out their ROCK THE HONEY LEMON TEA series! The drinks under this series are hand pounded, which really brings out the taste! Thirst quenching and super refreshing!
💜Yam Chicken Floss Mochi Cake ($9.90): I super love this! It was presented in a very bright purple colour! The cake layers were soft and moist. In the middle of the cake layers is savoury chicken floss with crispy crunchy seaweed! For the top layer, it is covered in taro orh nee and a qq chewy mochi! I enjoyed this so much!
Sea Salt Soya Mochi Cake ($9.90): This is similar to the yam chicken floss mochi cake, but instead of being taro yam themed, it is a salty sweet combination!

Second revisit to Dough Cafe!
This time round, I wanted to try out their mains (served from 1030am onwards)! Reached on a sunday afternoon at 12+pm and it was quite crowded, but the wait was still less than 10mins (the queue got even longer after we were seated; but fret not they have a 1 hour dining time in the aircon area, and we did see the staff "chasing" customers who have sat around in the indoor area for >1 hour to head to the outdoor seating area instead)
Ordered the Dough Platter ($28++), which was big portion enough for 2 not super hungry adults. This platter is the most popular item here, and it has 200g smoked chili maple glazed pancetta steak, 3 hashbrown cakes, scrambled eggs, pickled shrooms, balsamic brussels sprouts, and house spiced butter baby corn and carrot. I must say this dish was very well done! All the food were very well spiced and marinated! It is different from the typical big breakfast you get in other cafe which all taste rather plain tasting. Special shoutout to the Balsamic Brussels Sprouts! For a non-veg eater me, this was SUPER good, and I actually quite a few of it! The sauce for the glazed pancetta was also very nicely done! The scrambled eggs was however the most runny and liquidy scrambled egg I have ever eaten. I liked the salty furikake kind of toppings for the egg though! Gave it a different dimension taste!
Pistachio Raspberry Cube Croissant ($6.50++): Snagged the last of this item from the tray! Crispy flaky outer croissant layer! However, the fillings tasted more like bitter matcha than what I expected it to be. More pistachio than raspberry.
My last visit to this cafe was in Jul 2021, when they still didnt charge GST and service charge..Now there is!
We did not order drinks here though, as we were intending to head to Hvala for drinks and desserts! We weren't the only ones with the same idea in mind too, as we saw three other group of customers from Dough which also headed to Hvala after HAHA!
New Korean Bingsu place at Bugis! @nunsaram_cafe has opened a new outlet right at Bugis Junction!
Had always wanted to try Injeolmi Bingsu ($14.90 for the Large sized portion) so we tried it this time round! The Large Sized portion was more than enough for 3 adults who were not super duper hungry!
The bingsu ice shavings were super powdery! It was topped with soybean powder and ther was even chewy mochi on the the inside of the bingsu!
Nice environment here too, not squeezy!
Many other flavours to try like Mango, Strawberry, Green Tea, and many more! They also serve savoury food here too!
Walked by @kazosingapore and noticed that that they sell tarts! Hence bought some to celebrate family’s birthday! 🥳🎂
- taro orh nee tart
- lemon meringue tart
- chocolate hazelnut tart
1 for $3.60, 3 tarts for $10.50. Can mix and match the tarts!
Unique Space Theme Chinese Restaurant in Singapore - @chefchina.sg !
Be prepared to be blown off by the food here! Situated in bugis (along the popular liang seah street), this restaurant has a very insta-worthy space theme and serves tasty delicious Sichuan Chinese Cuisine!
Featured here are the following items:
-Fresh Golden Seabass Platter with 2 different soup base: This hotpot was served in a cute heart shape pot! For the same price, you can choose 2 soup bases! One of the soup base will be in the inner small heart! I recommend to get the 招牌藤椒锅Green Pepper Soup for the small soup base, and the 招牌鸡豆花锅 Chickpea flower Soup for the large ones! The non-spicy soup was super comforting, and the green pepper one wa super shiok to eat! The seabass comes without bones, and it was super fresh and tender!
-Gongbao Prawn Balls: Very insta-worth dish! This comes served with dry ice mist! Very apt for the space-theme! The prawns were very fresh and qq and the gonga bao sauce was sweet and spicy! Comes with cashew nuts too!
-Sweet and Sour Pork: This sweet and sour pork is very different from the typical tzechar version. This version uses lean pork and comes thin sliced! I enjoy this version so much! Lots of sweet and sour sauce to coat the fried pork slices too!
-Grilled Skewers: Got the juicy chicken and grilled mushrooms! JThe skewers are seasoned with their signature spices, and it is kept hot on the candle grill!
Greatly enjoyed my dining experience here!
It was not crowded when we reached for dinner time. However, the toasts were not available after 5pm (must come another time to try)!
So we ordered the following items to try instead:
-Minced Pork Rice ($6.80+): I actually pretty like this! Because it was the minced pork kind, and not the thick cut belly pork! So depending on your preference, you may or may not like it! For me, it is a yes, I will visit again to eat this!
-Guo Shao Egg Noodles ($7.80+): So happy we decided to order this instead of the minced pork noodles!This was pretty much like ee mian noodle soup, but the noodles kinda have a different texture, more chewy! The soup was a very comforting soup base! Comes with pork balls, crabstick and egg.
-Pork Floss and Cheese Omelette ($8.30+): This was surprisingly the most expensive item out of all the dishes we ordered. This taiwanese omelette was different from what I expected. It was not the crispy scallion pancake kind, but more of a chewy eggy thick kueh-like texture pancake. I think I am not a fan of this! But will return again to try the toast next time!
-Cold Soybean ($2.80+)
Cantonese style cuisine @WingSeongFattys Restaurant!
Have walked past this restaurant many years ago and was wow-ed by the huge amount of crowd! Fast forward many years later, I am finally here to pay this place a visit!
Featured are the following items:
-Seafood Hor Fan
-Fried Prawn with Salted Egg
-Chicken in Claypot
-Sweet and sour pork
-Braised Beancurd
-Fried Foo Yong Eggs
Overall the meal was quite tasty and affordable! Though the food may get slightly salty, so best to get plain rice to accompany the dishes!
Check them out at 175 Bencoolen Street, Burlington Square # 01-31, S189649. They have both aircon and outdoor seats! Do make a reservation for indoor air con seats to avoid disappointment!
My number 1 favourite dessert spot whenever im in bugis is at ah chew desserts! Head there earlier before everyone finishes dinner to have a shorter queue! My typical orders are usually an iced dessert and a cold egg pudding! 💕
