Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Plus the fact how popular and elusive this seasonal sandwich is, it is almost a crime if you do not get it when you see the last portion displayed prominently at the chiller. Forget about all the calories when you find joy in one of these fruit sandwiches as the luscious cream with the sweetness from the strawberries and soft chewy texture of the white bread is just a magical combination. Absolutely no regrets at all.

The newest Da Paolo Gastronomia opens in Great World recently and this Tuscany inspired trattoria aims to bring the Italian dining culture to the diners with its extensive array of offerings from freshly made food, grab & go takeaways, gelato, bakes, grocery and imported fine foods from Europe. What’s unique about this new outlet is that they have specially curated menus for each time of the day, from a weekday menu to weekend and dinner, and each contains foods from their virtual concepts, Panini Italiani, Pasta Bar and Pizza Bar.

Starting off with some hearty breakfast brunch items, we had the Double Baked Almond Croissant ($4.90) direct from their bakery counter, the Scrambled Eggs on Toast ($11) finished with parmigiano reggiano, chives and cracked black pepper, and Homemade Meatballs ($14) made with Australian beef and served in a sauce of Roma and San Marzano tomatoes. Perhaps my favourite of the day, the Spaghettone Carbonara Calabrese ($25) pays homage to the classic carbonara with a slight twist of using nduja (Calabrian spicy no case pork salami) instead of guanciale followed by the Seafood Spaghetti Cartoccio ($29) that has chock full of seafood such as slipper lobster, scallops, squid and mussels cooked in a lobster bisque. Last but no least, from the Pizza Bar comes the Rucola e Credo ($28) topped with 24-month aged Parma ham, mozzarella and locally grown rocket leaves.

We were pleasantly surprised by their nasi padang, from the wonderfully spiced sambal goreng to the tender ayam bakar and flavourful bergedil. Comparing with the other big brands like Minang and HJH Maimunah, @redgingersg is definitely able to stand on its own and I am looking forward to a second return in the near future for their other dishes like mee siam and briyani. Truly a hidden gem in the basement of the PLQ Mall.

People growing up in the Katong area and beyond will vividly recall the iconic Chin Mee Chin Confectionery along East Coast Road and the place has underwent some renovations but the nostalgic charm still remains. The Breakfast Set of kaya toast, soft boiled eggs and drink ($4.90) is the quintessential Singaporean breakfast and is something that Chin Mee Chin Confectionery has perfected it. The soft pillowy texture of the bun with the pandan coconut jam and slab of butter is just something that you will crave for anytime of the day while you slurp down the perfectly boiled eggs that has been seasoned with dark soya sauce and a dash of white pepper. Wash it all down with some kopi-o and this is your instant boost of energy or perk-me-up kinda meal.

The lady had the Rustic Mushroom ($17) while I ordered the Spam & Cheese Bagel ($16), a sure-winner when you see what goes into this sandwich; a sunny side up with runny yolk, thick cut of spam, cheddar cheese and a slather of crunchy peanut butter on a toasted bagel bun. With a side of greens and cherry tomatoes, the sandwich is everything you would have wished for, salty sweet and creamy goodness, and I polished it clean. The Rustic Mushroom didn’t fare that badly either with a generous portion of scrambled eggs and mushrooms over a sourdough toast with truffle pate.

The creamy mentai carbonara broth base was not too bad, a bit more towards the salty side. It expectedly got a little bit overwhelming towards the end, but it was still quite interesting to have udon in mentai carbonara sauce.

Worth a try if you like carbonara, or if you like mentai, or if you’re simply looking to try some interesting fusion cuisine!

Love the 卤肉饭 here, as the portion of meat to rice is just nice for me, though traditional 卤肉饭 in Taiwan is actually served with a lot less meat! I opted for the set ($8.50) which comes with the braised cabbage and ramen egg. Value for money comfort food 👍👍👍
