Rich & Good Cake Shop

Rich & Good Cake Shop is located in Arab Street next to Kampong Glam Conservation Area. This place has gotten quite a lot of positive word of mouth (WOM). Despite its location; at least 15 minutes away from the nearest MRT station (Bugis), this place was packed when I went there twice during lunch time. And it will not be easy to find this shop if you are not familiar with the area. In case you are wondering, this shop specialises in Swiss rolls. 

Rich & Good Cake Shop

Stacks of unroll Swiss rolls. Yes, they make it themselves and they sell it in a whole roll; uncut.

Menu with prices

*edited on Sep 2014* Updated the menu photo with the latest revised prices.

Wide variety of Swiss rolls and the prices. 

Nothing fancy about their packaging. Looks simple and dull.

Kaya Swiss Roll (1 for $7.00)

Coffee Swiss Roll (1 for $6.00)

I ordered  a Kaya Swiss Roll and a Coffee Swiss Roll  for $13.00. The packaging and swiss rolls look simple. But appearances can be deceiving. The swiss rolls were soft and spongy.

The Kaya Swiss Roll which is their best seller. The kaya was tasty, rich and fragrant. This is really a must try. Totally fantastic. The owner say that to keep the cake in the fridge and finish it up by 3 days. Well, it was so delicious that we finish it up within 24 hours.

The Coffee Swiss Roll was quite delicious too. Soft, rich tasting coffee flavoured swiss roll.

If you have not tried this, you will not know what you are missing. They sell lots of other flavours too such  as Blueberry, Chocolate, Durian, Green Tea, Mango, Strawberry and Orange. As as it's shop name shout out, it's swiss rolls are really rich and good!

Conclusion: This is the best swiss roll I have eaten in Singapore!

Menya Iroha Ramen (Ramen Champion @ Iluma)

My 3rd visit to Ramen Champion at Iluma. Noticed that the crowd seems to have lessen considerably despite it being lunch time. So if you have been wanting to try the Japanese ramen at Iluma Ramen Champion, now is the best time.

This time, I decided to try Menya Iroha. No queue at all.

Menya Iroha Menu

Menya Iroha Menu (Negitama Ramen)

Ordered the Negitama Ramen. Got my bowl of ramen within 5 minutes as there was no queue at all.

Negitama Ramen (large) $15.50

The Negitama Ramen is a black soy sauce  based ramen. It consisted of bamboo shoot, seaweed, leek, chashu and egg. The chashu was forgettable. The egg was also average. The ramen was curly, thin and springy. The black soy sauce soup base was quite unique. It was flavourful and seems light. However, towards the last few mouthful, I felt thirsty. Looks like its a case of too salty again. 

Ps: Thee six Ramen restaurants are:

1.IROHA from Toyama

2.BARIO from Tokyo

3.GANTETSU from Sapporo

4.TETSU from Tokyo

5.IKKOSHA from Hakata

6.TAI SHO KEN from Tokyo

Long Ge Snack 龍哥小吃 (Sembawang Shopping Centre)

Some of us may have heard about Long Ge Snack 龍哥小吃  which serves crispy chicken cutlet. Long Ge Snack opened early this year in Sembawang Shopping Centre.

Menu (a)

Menu (b)

Menu (c) (fries)

Notice the many different choices of dipping sauce for the fries. I heard the special cheese sauce is a must try.

Although their signature dish is Grilled Crispy Chicken, we ordered the Crispy Chicken (non-spicy) as our throat was not too well. There was quite a number of people queuing up at the stall. We waited for close to 15 minutes for our Crispy Chicken. Not necessary a bad thing as the staff only start cooking the chicken when they received customers' orders.

The cover of the box containing the Crispy Chicken looks cool! Nice packaging.

Crispy Chicken $4.20

Weird that there is salad together with the chicken. Looks like a good way to make up for the 'sinfulness'. However, I am not impressed by the salad. The chicken was very crispy, tender and juicy. But somehow in terms of flavour and fragrant, I think it loses out to the likes of Shilin fried chicken.

Well, I have several people raving how good the Grilled Crispy Chicken is. I will have to try it one day to find out the powers of Long Ge.
