Man Man Unagi Restaurant

Today I will share with you about the famous unagi restaurant in Singapore named Man Man Unagi Restaurant.
 
I believed most of you in Singapore heard about this restaurant before, especially for unagi lovers.
  
Located at Keong Saik Road, this restaurant served fresh imported unagi supply directly from Japan. Want a prove? Please come to visit this restaurant. You can see there are a lot of living eels in the small pond, and the chef will cut the eel and grill it in front of your eyes.
  
I ordered Unatama Unagi Don (Una Don). It consists of 3 pieces of Unagi, Tamagoyaki, Soup and Pickles.
 
FYI, Una Don is a donburi type large bowl filled with steamed white rice, and topped with fillets of eel grilled. Tamagoyaki is a Japanese Rolled Omelette.

Unatama Unagi Don S$18.60+

I can taste the freshness and crispiness of the unagi from the first bite.
  
Japanese Rolled Omelette texture is also soft and tasty.
  
The only comment I had personally was that the portion was not balanced between unagi and rice. The unagi portion was a bit too less. In the end, I need to eat rice only as my unagi and tamagoyaki were gone. Maybe you may consider to order Medium Una Don :)
  
If you plan to visit this restaurant in a big group or in the evening, please come early to avoid the crowd.
  
Will I go there again? Yes.

Tong Ah Coffee Shop

Last Thursday, I found out from Royston Tan's Facebook that Tong Ah Coffee shop @ the old building will close down on 15 July 2013. It’s a bit pity knowing that it has been there for four generation.

Interested to take some pictures before the building + coffee shop disappear, I went to Tong Ah Coffee shop last Saturday afternoon. You may see the old building’s pictures over here.

Tong Ah Coffee shop was famous for their Kaya Toast and coffee.

Since I am not a coffee lover, I just ordered their Kaya Toast.

Their Kaya Toast is indeed delicious. The toast is crisply sweet and their fillings (for both margarine and kaya) are generous. The margarine will burst inside your mouth right after you eat it. It's very nice.

For Tong Ah Coffee’s supporter(s), no need to be sad. Their shop will open new branch at No.35 Keong Saik Road on beginning of August 2013. 

And for the Old Building’s supporter(s), you might want to enjoy the old building’s pictures over here =P

Thanks for visiting, guys!!!

Grin Affair

Good Evening, Everyone!!! Today I want to share with you one unique’ cake from Grin Affair.

I called it unique because they put the cake inside a cute jar. I know about this shop from one entertainment show on Channel 8. 

They offers many cake flavours such as: Strawberry Custard, Mango, Kiwi Cheesecake, Hazelnut, Dark Chocolate, Lychee Passion fruit with Sea Salt Pistachio, Cookies and Cream, Matcha and Azuki Bean, Honey Lavender and Blueberry, Durian, Maron (Chestnut) and Banoffe.

We tried Strawberry Custard, Dark Chocolate and Lychee Passion fruit with Sea Salt Pistachio.

Strawberry Custard consists of fresh strawberry chunks with rich custard mousse, moist vanilla cake and finished off with a layer of strawberry.

Dark Chocolate consists of dark chocolate mousse with soft chocolate cake, topped with sea salt dulce de leche and chocolate ganache dome.

Lychee passion fruit with Sea Salt Pistachio consists of delicately sweet lychee mousse contrasted with the sour tang of passion fruit and topping of sea salt pistachio, layered with moist vanilla cake.

My favourite is Strawberry Custard.

FYI: For Ladies, if you are planning to bring back home their cute jar, remember to order it take away. Don’t consume the cake over there; otherwise you will need to return it over there.  

Strawberry Custard S$5.50

 

 

Dark Chocolate S$5.50

 

 

Lychee Passion Fruit with Sea Salt Pistachio S$6.00

Foong Kee Coffee Shop

Last Saturday was a great weekend for me. 1st of all, I found a good place that sells good Ang Ku Kueh (please refer to my previous post).

After that, I saw this coffee shop that sells char siew – roasted pork – chicken rice – wanton noodle. The name is Foong Kee Coffee Shop.

I was quite surprise with the crowd. For its location that NOT SO NEAR with MRT (the nearest MRT will be Outram Park MRT); the crowd over there is fantastic.

First impression is ether there are no more good food around Keong Saik Road or this coffee shop offers a fabulous chicken rice =P

Oh ya, over there I also saw one of Singapore famous blogger recommendation article (it was so big article and was stick in front this coffee shop).

PS: Do not straight away happily join on the long queue, please find a place for you to sit first!! 
We ordered Char Siew and Roasted Pork, Wanton Soup, Noodle and Rice. Overall, it costs us around S$18.

The wanton noodle is very tasty. I love the Char Siew and Roasted Pork. It's quite different with normal char siew I ever tried.

Their white rice is a bit plain and too soft, so if you eat over there, just order their noodle.

FYI, Foong Kee Coffee Shop is famous for the best wanton noodle in Singapore.

Ji Xiang Confectionery (Ang Ku Kueh)

Yesterday I accidently found this confectionery when I was around Outram Park. I felt really happy & lucky because could found this shop and FYI, Ang Ku Kueh is one of my favourite snacks in my childhood time.

In Indonesia, there are only having 2 different colours (red and green) of Ang Ku Kueh, which with the same topping (Sweet Bean) and a little bit different shape.

In this confectionery, you could found 7 different flavours of Ang Ku Kueh. Wow, right?

Details of the toppings:

- Peanut 60 cents

- Sweet Bean 60 cents
- Salted Bean 60 cents
- Corn 60 cents
- Coconut 60 cents
- Yam 70 cents
- Durian 80 cents

It's a smart idea to make different kind of colours of Ang Ku Kueh. It would surely makes youngsters and kids tempting to try this.

They give generous topping and the taste is very nice. You can taste the real corn, coconut, yam durian and other toppings in that Ang Ku Kueh. The skin is also thin. Normally Ang Ku Kueh skins are thick.

I believed Ji Xiang Confectionery is famous around Outram Park area, as the queue is quite long when I was there.

Nice Ang Ku Kueh and a friendly owner makes Ji Xiang Confectionery is really worth to try.
