My Food Trail

If you enjoy having a Kong Bak Bao, you’re gonna have your cravings satisfied here at @mamasoisg 💯 as they offer several variations to these buns! 😍😍😍 For me, anything with a hot piping fluffy bun works! ✔
.
🔹️Braised Pork Belly Bao ($11++): features a thick slab of braised pork belly 🐖 sandwiched between soft buns, topped with coriander, crispy shallots, haus relish, crushed peanuts 🥜 & haus sauce! The cut of meat used was pretty lean which I really liked as it wasn’t overly fatty nor greasy! 👍🏻 While I would have loved the pork belly to be more succulent, I must say that it was flavourful! 😋 The crushed peanuts added an alluring nutty fragrance to every bite! 💕
.
🔹️Beef Rendang Bao ($11++): filled with a generous amount of braised beef 🐄 with burnt chili mayo 🌶 & caramelised onions, I utterly enjoyed the flavours! Very well-marinated & seasoned, the sweet-savoury taste profile really appealed to me. ❤❤❤ Would be perfect if the beef could be even more tender, but I enjoyed this nonetheless! 👍🏻
.
🔹️Bird Man’s Chicken & Cheese Bao ($11++): just who can resist fried chicken! 🍗 Chicken thigh meat is battered & fried to the perfect crisp, & that layer of savoury melted cheese 🧀 just aced it. Together with truffle mayo & crushed peanuts, this was akin to Chinese take on burgers. 👌🏻
.
Personally enjoyed the first 2 more especially the Beef Rendang Bao as the braising liquid really permeates the buns, making every bite a flavourful one. 🤤🤤🤤 Would gladly settle with the mess!

Fancy some wood-fire baked pizzas? 🍕🍕🍕 @pizza_logic_sg is here to satisfy your cravings! Best-known for its Naples-style cuisine, Trattoria Pizzeria Logic, a popular authentic Italian restaurant chain in Japan, has made its debut in Singapore on 4 Oct! 🎉 Helmed by award-winning Pizzaiolo Junichi Shoji, they are committed to using fresh ingredients (e.g. Caputo flour imported from Naples Italy). 💯
.
Can’t go wrong with their classic Pizza Margherita D.O.C ($26++)! Baking it in the wood-fire oven 🔥 certainly imparted an irresistible aroma to this thin-crust pizza! 🤤🤤🤤 Topped with buffalo mozzarella 🧀, cherry tomatoes 🍅 & fresh basil, this was simply & good! 📢PROMO📢 For the opening month of Oct, get this at just $9.90++! ✌🏻
.
In celebration of the brand’s 2nd overseas outlet (1 in Ho Chi Minh), the chefs have created Pizza Leone ($22++), which translates to ‘Lion’ (cuz Singapore is the Lion City! 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬) Using pineapples 🍍 to represent the tropical weather & adding jalapenos for a hint of spice 🌶 as Singaporeans generally love spicy food, this tomato-based pizza topped with ricotta cheese 🧀 & ham was certainly a crowd-pleaser! 💕

Throwback to my Penang eats! Did you know that the famous Toh Soon Café at Lebuh Campbell (along the alley) has a café outlet at 37 Lebuh Bishop? 😉😉😉 My bestie & I headed to the latter for a more comfortable (air-conditioned) environment to chill & relax over a meal of local breakfast. 👍🏻
.
If you are looking for that same smoky flavours of charcoal-grilled bread, you will not get it here at this café outlet as their breads are toasted over electrical grills. 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
My bestie chose the Toast Bread with Hainanese coffee (Set) at RM5.50 (~SGD1.85), which featured a 2 slices of toasted white bread 🍞 slathered with homemade kaya & salted butter, accompanied by a cup of Kopi O (black coffee) ☕. Unfortunately I did not have any appetite as I was suffering from diarrhoea, hence I got myself the Hainanese Toast with homemade kaya (RM4.50, ~SGD1.50).💕
.
Out of the 2 types of bread, I personally preferred the Hainanese Toast as it was thicker & fluffy ☁️, somewhat resembling a brioche. Especially enjoyed the crusty sides that was super aromatic after toasting. 🤤🤤🤤
.
The homemade kaya was sweet, which brightened my tastebuds 😋 but I would very much prefer the Pandan Kaya we have in Singapore as I feel that the fragrance of the pandan elevates the coconutty flavours of the kaya. 💚
.
If you are looking for a heartier breakfast, you can add their sous vide egg (RM2.50, ~SGD0.85) 🍳 to complete the meal just like at Yakun or Toastbox in Singapore. 🇸🇬
.
Guess I need to head to their original alley one for the 💯 authentic taste! The next time I'm in Penang - that's where I will be heading to! 👌🏻

Nestled at Cuppace Terrace is @mamasoisg, a Kitchen-Bar serving up dishes with a South-East Asian flavours. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 With an al fresco seating area, it has a pleasant ambience good for winding down with a group of friends! 🍻
.
Almost a staple on every table, their signature Son-in-Law Eggs ($7++) really impresses on presentation. 💯 Let’s forget about any connotation on the dish’s name & focus on the food itself! 😉
.
Texture-wise, I would say that it is a cross between hard-boiled eggs & Ajitsuke Tamago (ramen egg). 🥚 Cutting through the firm egg white unveils a runny yolk that lends a nice luscious mouthfeel. 🤤🤤🤤 Liked that the eggs were greasy at all despite being deep-fried to paint that golden brown on the exterior. 👍🏻
.
The highlight would have to be the accompanying mama's signature chilli jam 🌶, which gives the eggs more oomph with its slight spicy kick. 😋😋😋 Served on basil leaves & tipped with sliced chilli, this was certainly an elegant way of presenting eggs on a plate! 💕
.
📢PROMO📢 Good news for Standard Chartered credit card users! From now till 31 Oct, enjoy $5 off your dining bill when you pay at @mamasoisg with your SC credit card, by courtesy of their collaboration with @eatigo_sg! 🎉

It has been some time since I last had satay & these Chicken SaTAY ($12++ for 3 pieces) at @izyfook certainly satisfied my cravings! 😋😋😋
.
The chicken skewers 🐓 were made using super succulent meats with a nice springy chew that boasts of its freshness. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Liked that they were sufficiently chunky too for that wholesome bite. ✔ Coupled with the smoky flavours of the char-grill & perfectly-charred exterior, these skewers were simply on point! 💯
.
You might already know that I am a nuts about nuts so the peanut sauce really aced it for me! 🥜 Savoury-sweet with an irresistible nutty fragrance, it brings so much flavours & a nice crunch to the meat skewers. 💕 The accompanying lemongrass blend also helps to cut the heaviness of the meats. 🤤🤤🤤
.
Certainly a worthy small bite to have at @izyfook! ❤

Are you like me, always itching for a nibble when you settle down at a restaurant or eatery? 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️ If you answered yes, Fu Xiang Signatures will wow you with their new Crispy Sambal Chicken SKIN ($5.90)! 😍😍😍
.
I have noted a few new chicken skin snacks of late & am glad that they have brought them to the table, piping hot! 🔥
.
Featuring sizeable chicken skin deep-fried to the perfect crisp, topped with their FIERY signature sambal chilli 🌶🌶🌶 that isn't for the faint-hearted, this dish just screams SHIOK! ✔
..
Warning, this can be really ADDICTIVE! I simply couldn’t stop munching! 😋😋😋 Exclusively available at @fuxiangsignatures Jewel outlet! 👌🏻

Need a morning perk-me-up? ✔ @paulbakerysg is my go-to breakfast place! ✌🏻 Offering a wide range of pastries, bread & desserts, I'm always spoilt for choice! 😍😍😍
.
I like that they now have a takeaway breakfast set, reasonably priced at $5.90 for a cup of hot drink ☕ & 1 of their Top 6 pastries! 💯 Perfect for the busy bees like me - I can now munch on the delectable pastry & sip on my cuppa at the comfort of my office table! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
.
I paired my Café Latte ☕ (U.P. $5.90) with a Croissant Amandes (U.P. $4.20)! Featuring a croissant 🥐 topped with almond slices, this made such an aromatic & sweet brekkie! 💕 The nutty flavour of the almond slices & sweet icing sugar complement the buttery & flaky pastry so so well! 😋

How do you like your LALA (clams) cooked? While my favourite would be those stir-fried with sambal chilli 🔥 at BBQ stalls, this rendition at @izyfook left a deep impression on me. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
.
Their Steamed Clams in Dashi ($18++) features a generous amount of fresh clams that were sufficiently plump & juicy! 😍😍😍 The natural sweetness retained from the steaming process was a clear indication of its ultimate freshness! 💯
.
The dashi stock was light & refreshing, with its slight savoury flavours complementing the sweet clams. 😋😋😋 Topped with some garlic, chives, scallion & coriander, this was an unpretentious bowl that all seafood lovers would be delighted with. 💕

I have always liked the dimsum from Fortunate Restaurant (especially their char siew baos)! 💕 Sad to say, these bite-sized Custard Egg TARTS ($1.10 each) were quite a disappointment. 😥
.
The crust is pretty well done 💯 - buttery & crunchy despite being left out for a while. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 However, the egg custard leaned towards the sweet side & did not encompass enough of that eggy aroma. 😅
.
Overall a decent eat but sorry, my @taicheongsg still triumphs! ❤

@supplydemandorchard pride themselves for serving up rustic Italian cuisine 🇮🇹, so pizzas are a must-get here! ✔ With dough that is handmade in house daily, hand opened & freshly baked to order, the wide selection of thin CRUST pizzas here (I counted 28 different flavours! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) will certainly satisfy your taste buds!
.
New on the menu is Pizza Manzo Scottato E Pera ($25++ for Regular/$29++ for Large), which features a thin-crust pizza slathered with tomato sauce 🍅 & mozzarella cheese 🧀, topped with sliced seared beef 🐄, red onion, fresh pear 🍐, rucola leaves & pine nuts.
.
Love the interaction between the different ingredients all in a slice 😋 - the natural sweetness of the tomato sauce & pear slices mellow the astringent taste of the arugula, while the pine nuts add an irresistible nutty flavour. 🥜 While I wished the seared beef could be more tender, these thick juicy cubes would please any carnivorous diners! 🥩
.
For the health junkies, Avocado E Pesto ($25 for regular/$29 for large) will be a good pick! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 It may look unassuming but trust me, this vegetarian delight delivers so much more! Even the guys liked this - that just says SO MUCH! 💯
.
The base of garlic cream sauce, oregano & drizzle of pesto sauce 💚 flavours the pizza perfectly, not forgetting mozzarella 🧀 & roasted pine nuts to make this a true-blue Italian classic. 👏🏻 Topped with sliced red onions, fresh avocado 🥑, rucola & cherry tomatoes 🍅, every bite was rich in flavour but minus the guilt! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
.
Tempted to get yourself a slice? 🤤 Definitely good for sharing with your loved ones! Time to head down to @supplydemandorchard for a good time! 👌🏻

I usually go to Popeyes for their fried chicken 🍗 but now I know I’ve been missing out big time because their burgers are LEGIT too! 🍔🍔🍔 Level up your love for burgers with @Popeyes.sg’s Caramazing Onion N’ Chick Burger, just like it did to me! 💕
.
Modelled after their chicken sandwich that was sold out in the US in just 2 weeks due to extraordinary demand, I can totally understand what the hype is all about. ✔
.
Sandwiched between corn-dusted bun 🥯 is a buttermilk spicy chicken thigh 🐓 fried to the perfect crisp while remaining tender inside, crunchy Batavia lettuce 🥬, juicy tomatoes 🍅 with a nice tang, savoury melted cheese 🧀 & a bed of soft caramelized onions, finished with a creamy spicy sauce. 🤤🤤🤤
.
The perfectly caramelized onions were definitely the highlight, rendering an irresistible sweetness.😋 Every bite was bursting with flavours! 💯
.
With a set meal priced at $8.90 (comes with regular honey mustard fries & regular Pepsi), I say this is pretty worth it! 😉 Limited time offer only & this burger is only available till 21 Oct so you gotta try it quick! 👌🏻
