Orchard Yong Tau Fu at Cuppage Plaza

Always wanted to try this as there are quite a number of good reviews. I was finally here on a sunny afternoon for lunch.  Waiting time was about 20 to 30 mins during peak hours. 


Soup and sauces were quite good but I don't really think it is worth the 20 mins wait. Nevertheless, it is a good food option which is less than $10 in orchard if you don't mind the wait.

Raspberry Chicken Wings from Poulet

A latest addition from Poulet for a limited time. Raspberry winglets was quite a disappointment. The raspberry portion is only the sauce, which tastes like cough syrup. Chicken wings are not too bad but it could be better. 


Tokyo Banana available in Singapore!

The famous Tokyo Banana is now available in Singapore! 

You could get them online at www.shiokjapan.com or at Raffles City Shopping Centre Basement 1 at $30 per box. It's kinda pricey but for fans, I guess it is worth every penny.

Teddy & Me Cafe at Marina Square

Happened to walk past this cute cafe, inspired by Mr Bean at Marina Square. The cafe is quite small but most of the tables come with iPads. Service was quite bad as I had to repeat my order 3 times.... And I only placed an order for a Strawberry Mille cake. The waiter insisted that they didn't have the Strawberry Mille cake although it was displayed in the glass fridge at the counter and didn't even have the initiative to just open the fridge to double check. He had to ask his colleague after I insisted and repeated my order 3 times. Hmmm.. More training should be done I supposed. There are many better options out there at marina square and I would suggest giving this is a miss.

Ben's Cookies at Wisma

Ben's Cookies has reached the shores of Singapore. I was all excited and couldn't resist the temptation of getting one!  

What is Ben's Cookies? 
It is a chain of cookie shops founded in 1984 in England. 



I tried their white chocolate and hazelnut praline cookies. The cookies are very soft and with generous amount of chocolate chips. They probably taste better if they are heated. At $2.95 each, I feel that they are a little overpriced and I prefer cookies with crispy texture, like those from its neighbor, Famous Amos. 

Taiwan Hello Kitty Transportation Card
