Macdonalds nuggets with wasabi and honey mustard sauce

Along with the hello kitty craze, macdonalds also came out with new sauces. Yeah! Wasabi and Honey Mustard. However, I feel that both sauces are lacking in flavor. Wasabi is not 'wasabi 'enough and honey mustard is not 'mustard' enough. Both taste more mayo-ish instead.

Royal milk pudding from Paris Baguette

I'm not a fan of milk products hence I always had my reservations about this highly raved milk pudding. I was walking around orchard with my pain throbbing wisdom tooth and was searching for light snacks that do not require me to chew on it. The royal milk pudding seemed to be the perfect choice at that moment. So I bought it and regretted why I didn't try it long ago. It isn't too milky and I totally love the caramel taste! It blended so well with the milk pudding. However, it is a little expensive for such a small volume of milk pudding. Nevertheless, you get to keep the cute glass container. Just take it as if you got the glass container for $2 and the milk pudding for another $2. Now, it looks like it is more worth the money! ^_^

Lays new flavour - Cheddar and Sour Cream

This is lighter in flavour as compared to Ruffles. Hmmm.. I still prefer Ruffles!

Yummylicious ultra spicy Paldo Korean Ramen in Singapore

IT is finally here in Singapore. I have tried Paldo in Korea and this is no doubt the most spicy Korean ramen that I have ever tried. Spicy lovers, go grab them now at Cold Storage!

Ellenborough Market Cafe - Oishii Osaka

Was here again yesterday for their theme buffet - Oishii Osaka. As usual, there is a buy 3 get 1 free promotion with HSBC cards. Other promotions include 18% off with DBS cards and a 15% off with a lot of other banks such as HSBC or OCBC.
Oishii Osaka wasn't that satisfactory as compared to their seafood theme a few months back. I was expecting a lot more Japanese food but it only had its usual sashimi spread which was only salmon and another fish which I don't know what it was. Sushi rolls were badly made and it tasted like what you could get from Cold Storage. Green Tea icecream was the nicest food in the whole Japanese theme.
Overall, food was so so but it failed miserably if you classified it with the 'Osaka' tag as they tried to fit their not so Japanese food into the Japanese theme by adding it in their item tags.







Wok fried Slipper Lobster with Japanese black pepper sauce. I think they just added the word 'Japanese' to fit into the theme as these tasted exactly the same as what I ate a few months back.


Beef Katsu was weird.


Japanese Chicken Kare was so so.


I didn't take these (Sio Pai Chye with Nagaimo and Lotus Leaf Chicken)


Green Tea Swirl. This was nice, it tasted like yam puff with yam replaced with green tea paste


A spread of seafood.


A variety of Nonya dishes.








Fish with Wasabi sauce




Sauces


2 different kinds of soups but both are very salty


Very nice green tea ice cream


Durian Pengat


Cheng Teng


Rice dumplings in glutinous paste with coconut milk


Prawn Tempura. The flour was thin but it wasn't crispy.






Unique green tea swirl


Seafood dumpling and Yam Mango Roll. These are quite unique and nice.




Salad

Bali Thai Cafe at ION Orchard

It was so crowded at ION on a Saturday evening and we were in a rush so we popped by Bali Thai Cafe for a quick dinner since it didn't have any queue. I have always walk past Bali Thai and have never thought of trying since i'm always parked at the neighbouring Watami or Imperial Treasure. For that price tag and the quality of food served, I would definitely come back here again.


Create your own noodles! This idea is interesting.








Yummy Tom Yum Soup


Stir fried glass noodles with black pepper garlic sauce and prawns


Mango glutinous rice

Abalone festival buffet at Todai at Marina Bay Sands

This is my second visit to Todai and most probably the last visit too! My first visit to Todai was more than 2 years ago when Todai first opened its doors in Singapore. Being raved by many even before it landed in Singapore, I was anticipating its opening but the quality of food has greatly disappointed me. Being an abalone fanatic, I was attracted to its abalone festival so I decided to give Todai another chance. Oh boy! I shouldn't have gave them another chance. It is as disappointing but I must admit that Todai does have a huge variety.
So why are there so many good reviews online and the huge restaurant is almost full house on a weekday night? This is greatly dependent on individual. If u are someone who enjoys steamed crab and looking for a large quantity and variety of food then Todai is the place for you. My neighboring tables are eating away happily while I was taking regretful bites of mediocre food. Maybe my standard is too high? But I'm definitely someone who prefers quality over quantity.


Very small abalone and salmon sliced into absolute small slices that I have never seen before




Snow Crab

A large variety of Japanese sushi


Fish and bacon was ok, cereal prawns were overcooked and very difficult to peel, salmon was very hard.


Rows of meat waiting to be grilled.


Pizza and Korean rice cakes.






Kimchi was nice and that was about all. The rest were so so. Fries was cold and quite disgusting.


Beef


Snow crab!


Look at how thin the salmon is! The chef is going to cut it into even smaller pieces and refused to give us a bigger portion although we requested for it.




A lot of sauces


Fresh-looking vegetables but who really goes for a buffet for salad?


This tastes very horrible just like those frozen ones you could get at the supermarkets.


Desserts that are not worth mentioning. Yes! They are that bad.


Swiss rolls was a LITTLE better than the cakes.


Marshmallows with chocolate.
