Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Being in the heart of the financial district, the rustic-themed Grain Traders is a really nice place to people-watch during lunchtime (that is, if you can beat the office crowd to get a window seat). Get your money's worth by choosing the more exotic options; here is crusted tuna tataki (+$1.50), ratatouille, mixed bean salad, curried veg and sunflower seeds atop barley risotto, diviiiine.

Ordered a soy millet porridge with less toppings but it was already so salty and a small bowl for 3.80 which leaves you pretty dissatisfied .

I recall Mr Bean to be a health conscious brand but they have now resorted to using microwave to heat their condiments . And I saw a scoop being left t cook together with the porridge - I wonder if it’s even safe - is the material toxic?

Attempted to order the soy ice cream just for a fuller meal but as usual - either machine not working or some bad excuse . I have experienced this many times over at a few outlets .

Mr bean used to make their soy milk onsite but no longer these days . They come in huge plastic bags . The pancakes are also varying in quality these days - some places serve cold and hard ones .

I guess that’s the end of my mr bean journey .

Great disappointment. The $9.90 for 2 crab croquettes were served frozen without any apology. Then it too over 30 mins for it to be served and this was after we finished our meal and asked how much further it is. Very unjapanese. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Slightly high price point of $6.

But well worth the price, char Siew was well charred and tender, roast pork skin was crispy and not tough.

A brilliant combination on and all.
20mins wait for it.

The lids for takeaway are not made for takeaway. There is a massive unsealed hole. Worse the staff wanted to use sticky tape and ungloved hands to do this. Bad hygiene. The actual milk tea is less than 1/3 of the cup. Now I know why they don’t do even less ice! Outlet visited is at PLQ Mall.

Two Men Bagel House at Icon Village now does daily sweet bakes like this sugared donut stuffed with a rich chocolate filling. Which I gobbled down in two minutes flat.
Bakes change, well, daily! Treat yourself!

Mirror mirror on the wall, what’s the most desired of them all?

One of my favourite ice cream place. They have since moved to a bigger space, just few units away from the previous spot.

My two favourites were Hazelnut & Cookie n Cream, but recently I tried the Baileys w/ Dark Chocolate Chips and really like it!

I was never a dan of waffle cone but, up till current date, this is the only ice cream place that makes me go back for more. Freshly made, texture was always light & crispy! 👍🏻

Baileys w/ Dark Chocolate Chips $4.10
+Cone $1

Stuffed to the brim with 2 types of ham (Black Forest + Honey Baked), Comte, Brie, Sweet Caramelized Onion Jam and Lemon Mayo. I went on and had them stuff additional slices of Avocados in there, all snug within their freshly baked Garlic Bagel. Those Garlic Bagels are amazing. Studded with garlic crispies on the top, and I’ll say, best consumed right there and then.
Also! It’s been awhile since I’ve visited this @twomenbagelhouse outlet within Icon Village, must say I’m really digging the loud music, vibes and their warm enthusiastic greetings from the team there.
