My Food Trail

No snow in Singapore but I’m sure ICE cream will do the trick! 😉 Pamper yourself with sweet treats here at @jamiesitaliansg which will certainly end the Christmas feast on a sweet note! 😍😍😍
.
Satisfied my sweet tooth with their Sticky Date Pudding, which features steamed sticky pudding with vanilla gelato & toffee sauce. ❤❤❤ The sticky date pudding resembled a warm muffin - fluffy & full of cinnamon flavours with natural sweetness from dates. 😋 The toffee presented a crunchy exterior, which paired well with the lightly fragrant vanilla gelato. 🍦 So delightful to enjoy hot & cold in 1 dish! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
.
Those who has a thing for meringues would fall in love with their Strawberry Pavlova! 💕 Cracking the crisp crust unveils a soft & light interior, which went perfectly with the rich strawberry sauce 🍓 & icy vanilla gelato with the subtle aroma from the vanilla beans. 🌟 Melt-in-the-mouth goodness but warning - this is REALLY sweet so get ready for some sugar rush! 😉

Sharing with you my favourite at @thecommunalplace! 😍 While most of their mains were well-executed, that one dish that really stood out for me was their Pulled Pork Burger ($16++). 🍔
.
The buttery brioche buns carried a little crusty exterior from toasting while remaining soft & fluffy inside, which was a winner for me! 💯
.
While not the most succulent, the pulled pork was extremely well-marinated & flavoured 🐷, complementing the buns really well! 😋😋😋 The creamy coleslaw rendered a luscious mouthfeel!
.
The generous amount of accompanying fries 🍟 were really good too - chunky & well-salted! ✌🏻 The side salad with balsamic vinegar dressing have a tangy refreshing touch 👍🏻
.
Absolutely enjoyed this dish a lot! 💕

Do not give these treats from @taicheongsg a miss when you’re at @takashimayasg! ❤❤❤ The original Egg Tart ($2) is my ultimate all-time favourite -  freshly baked in-house daily, the buttery & crumbly crust encases a smooth yet firm egg custard that isn’t too sweet. 😋 The vibrant yellow simply screams EAT ME! 😍😍😍
.
If you have not tried the other pastries, you just got to as they are equally delightful! 👍🏻
.
🔹️Pandan Tart ($2) - a local spin-off from the signature egg tart, the irresistible fragrance of pandan infused in the egg custard was quite a winner! 💚💚💚
.
🔹️Coconut Tart ($2.65) - what an old-school treat! Featuring finely-grated coconut 🥥 that renders a nice juicy crunch, this makes a sweet treat! Topped with a bit of maraschino cherry for a pretty finishing touch. 🍒
.
🔹️Durian & Cheese Tart ($3.85) - fans of the King of Fruits would be pleased with this tart made with 💯 real durian fruit puree which boasts of the intense pungent-sweet flavours, slightly mellowed by the equally creamy cheese. LEGIT! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
.
🔹️Chicken Pie ($3) - if you’re a fan of savoury treats, you’re not left out! 👌🏻 The chicken pie filling was creamy & luscious with a hint of pepper, which compliments the buttery pastry with a slight tinge of sweetness. 😋
.
Complete your tea break with their Egg Tart set ($3.50) at @takashimayasg B2 Food Village! ✔ Comes with Hong Kong Milk Tea/Coffee/Yuan Yang, you can sip on your hot/cold beverage ☕ & savour their decadent egg tart leisurely! 😉

CHRISTMAS came early for me at @jamiesitaliansg Forum outlet as I had the privilege of savouring their Christmas menu! 🎅
.
Was thrilled to know that with every order of their Christmas specials at the Forum & VivoCity outlet, $1 will be donated to Singapore Children’s Society & Club (Rainbow) Singapore respectively! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Doubling the festive cheer 🎉, you’ll also be entitled to spin the sure-win Christmas wheel for attractive prizes! 😉
.
Whet your appetite with their Tomato Arancini 😍😍😍, which features risotto balls stuffed with mozzarella 🧀, coated in bread crumbs & fried to the perfect golden brown. 🌟 The accompanying homemade arrabbiata sauce (made with sundried tomatoes 🍅 too) spiced up the entire dish, lending some spice 🌶 & sweet-tangy flavours to the savoury crispy balls.
.
Prefer something less starchy & heavy? Start your feast right with their Baby Octopus Salad! 🥗 With a generous portion of marinated grilled baby octopus 🐙, olives, tomatoes 🍅, potato cubes, carrots 🥕, parsley, feta cheese 🧀 & lettuce 🥬, this salad with a herby Mediterranean dressing was quite a crowd pleaser! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
.
More reviews on their exciting mains & desserts will be coming up so stay tuned! 👌🏻

Enjoying this BRAISEd Duck Kway Teow ($3.50) 🍜 while my parents had the Specialty Duck Rice ($4) 🦆 & Char Siew & Roasted Pork Rice ($4) 🐖, all from @yukeeduck! 😍😍😍

Who loves some soft & pliable buttermilk waffles? 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m certainly game for it & Craftsmen Signature Waffle ($18) here at @craftsmenspecialtycoffee at Mohd Sultan certainly satisfied my sweet tooth! 😋
.
Featuring a generous amount of fresh berries 🍓, roasted nuts, seasalt caramel ice cream & drizzle of salted gula melaka syrup on some fluffy waffles, this surely made an indulgent treat! 🤤🤤🤤 Absolutely loved how the tangy berries add a fruity note & balance out the overall sweetness of this plate! ✔
.
The sliced roasted almonds 🥜 added a nice crunch, while the gula melaka syrup added an irresistible fragrance. 🌟 The seasalt caramel ice cream was a classic, complementing the waffles that was very well done with a very crisp exterior which I liked! 💕 All waffles are freshly made in-house so you gotta give it a 20mins wait! 👌🏻
.
& if you’re a frequent their cafes, you would have realised that they have switched up their waffles from the typical round ones to these criss-cross ones! More crispy edges FTW! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
.
What a treat! ❤

Celebrating FRYyay with these awesome FRIES from @potatocornersg! 🍟🍟🍟

Besides IG-worthy drinks, you will also find at @thewhaletea.sg some icy treats! 🍦 Their chocolate charcoal cone is made freshly in-house daily so you’ll get that perfect crunch in every bite! 😍😍😍
.
This black beauty is their Wuliangye Ice Cream (五粮液金巧冰淇淋, $4.80) 🖤, which features a proprietary blend of cocoa, activated charcoal & Wuliangye, a Chinese white wine made with a variety of grains! 👍🏻 Not knowing what I was in for, I first got hit by a lusciously rich milk chocolate soft serve 🍫🍫🍫 on my first mouth, which was sooooo alluring! 🤤
.
Then came the pronounced alcohol taste of wuliangye wine 🍸, which is not at all astringent but pretty aromatic! 💕 This treat is dusted with gold powder for an elegant finishing touch. 🌟 My advice is not to have this on a first date as it has the same effect as squid ink (it stains your teeth & mouth a little), or use this as a test for true love! ❤ Just kidding 😂
.
Anyone would certainly be drawn to this pretty Electric Sea Salt Ice Cream (闪电海盐冰淇淋, $4.50), which features sea salt soft serve 💙 in their chocolate charcoal cone. The sprinkle of popping candy adds a fun & interesting element to this pretty one donned in pastel blue coat, a light & refreshing treat with its slightly salty taste profile. 😋😋😋

.
Here's what we tried:
.
🔹️Mutton Biryani ($15): instead of using basmati rice, they have used organic seeraga samba rice 🍚, whose short grains creates a slightly mushy texture similar to glutinuous rice (but not sticky)! 😋😋😋 Of a higher price than basmati & lower in calories, this is good stuff ya! 💯 Really like the texture & robust flavours as it is cooked with succulent pieces of baby goat meat 🐑 & hand-grounded spices.
.
🔹️Tawa Meen Roast ($15): super worth the price! ✔ Especialy love the crispy top of this filleted fish🐟 which is breaded with special spices & roasted. A non-spicy dish that is a crowd favourite 💕, spread some sweet tomato ketchup 🍅 & mayo atop to balance out the savoury flavours of the fish! 👍🏻
.
🔹️Theepori Lolly Pop ($11): spice lovers would love this! 🍗 Chicken drumstick takes a twist here marinated with spices & black pepper. 🌶
.
🔹️Egg Masala ($10.50): perfect for eating with biryani or naans! 🍳 Expect some rich & creamy flavours - non-spicy! 👌🏻
.
Quench your thirst with their Jigarthanda ($8) which is like a strawberry 🍓 almond milkshake topped with vanilla icecream 🍦, or try their Lime Mint Cooler ($4.50) for a refreshing treat. 🍃

I'm utterly missing this Sassy Spicy Salsa ($7.80) Hotdog Sub from @SuperSubSingapore! 😍
.
This was reminiscent of Mexican flavours, a refreshing rendition with cubes of tomatoes 🍅, sweet mango 🥭, onions, chilli, coriander & a squeeze of lime juice.
.
Top up your combo at just $1.50 for a healthy home-brewed drink with no sugar added! 👏🏻 Honey is used as a natural sweetener for their lemon tea, lemon barley, lemongrass & roselle! 🍯 Alternatively, get your caffeine fix with their Nanyang Coffee or Tea! ☕

TiraMISU is a classic Italian dessert that I always enjoy! ❤ Hence, ordering this dessert ($13++) at @thecommunalplace was totally an expected move from me. ✔
.
I must say that this is one aesthetically-pleasing dessert! 😍😍😍 With tiramisu served in a cup, accompanied by honeycomb, mixed berries, walnuts & oreo cookie crumbles, I was so drawn to it! 💯
.
While the mascarpone cheese was creamy & light (almost foamy), there was too little ladyfingers in my opinion. 🤨 The taste of coffee & kahlua was hence overpowered by the almost foamy mascarpone.
.
Thankfully, the mixed berries & walnuts were the saving grace as they added more textures & flavours 💕, making this a decent plate of dessert. 👌🏻 But if you want a good tiramisu, this will probably not satisfy you. 😐
.
Perhaps I have too high expectations on my Tiramisus! 😂
