Bakerzin - NY Cheesecake

New York Cheesecake ($39+)

Boy! It seems a long time since i last had a proper Cheesecake!

Soft creamy Cheese upon a layer of nutty crunch, sweetened by a coat of tangy Strawberry glaze. Yum!

In the size of 18cm dia, we had it for $19.50+ after Bakerzin's monthly 50% discount off their featured cake. It's definitely a good bargain for value.

Even Mom who repels Cheese took a few mouthfuls. I had promised her an Oreo or a Chocolate flavored Cheesecake one next round :)

For her love of Cocoa, she may grow to accept Cheesecake ;)

How to... Cut Pineapple.

So PioneerWoman taught how to cut up Pineapple also, read here!

We have just bought a Malaysia Crystal Pineapple ($1.80 from Giant) and i can't wait to employ what i've learned :)

The tricky part would be the cutting between the hard rind and the good part of the fruit.

A thick part of the rind have to be remove to obtain the clean sweet Pineapple flesh; an average sized Pineapple therefore do not yield much edible serving.

It's my first attempt and i can't help feeling proud of it; though it really is an easy feat. But i've got to be more careful next time, bristled my right index finger that's still hurting as i'm typing now...

Teo Kee Mushroom Minced Pork Noodle

Ric led me to the Tampines Round Market for the much acclaimed Pork Rib Noodles at stall #01-05. They operate till 2pm daily and rest on Monday.

Despite what its signboard reads, almost NObody have Minced Pork Noodle here :)

Pork Rib Noodle ($3)

Luscious Pork Rib is its Signature. They serve up braised soft bone portion that's cooked so soft, you particularly finish the bowl without leaving any bony remains! Amazing!

Chicken Feet Noodle ($2.50)

Another Collagen fix would be the braised Chicken Feet. Equally well-braised yet never over salted.

Egg noodles used here adds flavor and texture to our bite. Yum.

Hock Lam Beef Soup

Yeah, i'm guilty for being a sucker for 1-for-1 makan deals. That's the reason why we're here within such a short frame of time from our last visit.

On top of that, i do, of course misses eating their Beef Noodles :)

Beef Noodle (Soup), with Mixed Beef & Tendons ($8.50)

The 1-for-1 Dinner deal is for Weekdays only, after 6pm; where the area is mostly deserted save for the nearby clubbing patrons. Condition being: Large bowl had to be purchased for the deal.

We had a try of the soupy version today. It was a lighter eat yet equally enjoyable compared to the dry version we had previously.

Read here for my more detail review.

Chen Fu Ji Noodle House

The much anticipated Singapore PC Show opens today in Suntec City and the place is crowded. Yes, the area carparks are all packed and roads are jammed.

We purpose to lunch at less heaving Sky Garden on level 3 of Suntec where Chen Fu Ji Restaurant is offering a 1-for-1 for their "Hand-pull" Lan Zhou Noodle (by RBS credit card).

Beef Noodle Soup ($9.80+)

The top photo is by Ric. Light flavorsome broth with generous portion of well-roasted Beef!

It's aplenty. We registered 12 slices of Beef pieces vaguely :)

Beef Noodle in Tomato Sauce ($9.80+)

I love my bowl of sweet and lightly sour Tomato tang! It's a wonderful fusion of Italian Tomato Spaghetti sauce and Chinese Tomato paste cooking.

It was a totally appetizing and refreshing experience; i hate to swap bowl with Ric :) And Chen Fu Ji does impress today.

It was to the Computer Fair after Lunch, of course :)

东京烧, Tokyo BBQ


It's been a long, quiet day at home and i was hoping to draw some excitement from sizzling seafood at this well-favourite seafood bbq stall in Ayer Rajah Food Centre, blk 503, along West Coast Drive, stall no. #01-07.

Yep! From this fresh selections you would have your BBQ Stingray, Grilled Crab, Hotplate Squid, Oyster Omelette, Sambal Cockles, Hotplate King Prawns, BBQ Crayfish!

BBQ Stingray, 方鱼 ($8)

Oily as dished everywhere; i particularly enjoy scraping the tender gooey flesh off the cartilage, even devouring the soft cartilage at times :)

Hotplate Sambal Squid ($8)

Oh, they serve up one of the plumpest Squid! All juicy and chewy, in sweet spicy sauce that reminds me of Satay sauce?!

There's also some bits of the Squid that look gelatinuous and translucent; this gummy part is an acquired taste. I quite like it. Is it the Eggs?

Cincaluk is replaced by their Chili dipping sauce with Shallots & Anchovies here. This stall however, could well be the better ones around as i revisit my post of Rong Guang BBQ & Lee's BBQ.
