Ji De Chi 记得吃 (Liang Seah Street)
Ji De Chi 记得吃 is a dessert shop located along Liang Seah Street (Bugis), opposite Ah Chew Desserts. Ji De Chi has three outlets. The other two outlets are located in Jurong Point and Plaza Singapura. Visited the eatery on a couple of occasions.
Sawdust Pudding - Green Tea Flavour with Red Bean $5 |
The Sawdust Pudding (also known as Serradura) is a well-known pudding (dessert) in Macau. It is typically made of crushed biscuits (sawdust) and cream. We ordered the Green Tea Flavour which came with Red Beans. The pudding had 2 layer of biscuits between the cream. My first time trying this, it was satisfying.
Ji De Chi Special Beancurd - Ji De Chi Traditional Ginger Syrup Soya Beancurd (cold) $3 |
Syrup |
Ji De Chi Special Beancurd tasted normal to me. It was no different from other beancurd sold elsewhere.
Hot/Cold Dessert - Barley Beanstick with Gingko $2.50 |
Hot/Cold Dessert - Barley Beanstick with Gingko $2.50 |
The Barley Beanstick with Gingko was simply yet delicious. Fans of this dish would not be disappointed with Ji De Chi's. It was not diluted and came with lots of beancurd skins.
Hot/Cold Dessert - Egg Drop Water Chestnut Paste $3 |
The Egg Drop Water Chestnut Paste was average. I would have preferred it more if the chestnut flavour was more intense.
Steam Egg White Walnut Paste (Hot) $4 |
What I normally try else where was Walnut Paste. Ji De Chi's Steam Egg White Walnut Paste was unique to me. The Walnut Paste was underneath the layer of steamed egg white.
Greem Tea Flavour Snowy Ice $5 |
One of the flavourite among many customers due to the hot weather was the Geen Tea Flavour Snowy Ice topped with Red Bean, Nata-De-Coco. Value for money and best for sharing with a group of friends!
There were hits and misses in Ji De Chi 记得吃's desserts. Those that were good were really well... so good! Try it for yourself!

Liang Court Wednesdays' Food Tasting Trails: Tamoya, Shakey's Pizza and Dulcet & Studio
Continue on with my previous post on Liang Court Wednesdays' Food Tasting Trails, I made 2 trips down to Liang Court on the last day of the food trail for both lunch and dinner.
Tamoya Udon |
For lunch, I visited Tamoya Udon which is a Japanese restaurant that specialises in handmade Udon.
With the Liang Court's Wednesdays' Food Trail Coupon, I was able to try the large Curry Udon (U.P $10.80) with Prawn Tempura (U.P $2.50), Fried Chicken (U.P $1.50) and Chikuwa Tempura (U.P $1).

Curry Udon |
The Curry Udon was delicious. The Udon handmade using three types of flour was the highlight. It was chewy yet soft and smooth. The curry with lots of onions added to it complemented the udon well.
Prawn Tempura, Chikuwa Tempura and Fried Chicken |
The Fried Chicken was decent, while the Prawn and Chikuwa Tempura were disappointing. Both the tempura were cold, hard and no longer crisp. They were also coated with too much batter.
For dinner, the Partner and I went for Shakey's Pizza.
The Liang Court's Wednesdays' Food Trail Coupon provided us with several choices:
(a) Slim Trim Caesar Salad (U.P $5) and Spaghetti Carbonara (U.P $13.80)
(b) Shakey's Baby Back Ribs (Full Slab) (U.P $19.80)
(c) Oishi Wasabi Premium Pizza (90-inch) (U.P $19.80) or;
Hula Hawaiian Classic Pizza (9-inch)(U.P $18.80)
We went for option (a) and (c).

Oishi Wasabi Premium Pizza |
As we wanted to try something different we decided to order Oishi Wasabi Premium Pizza which consisted of shrimps, scallops, pineapples and wasabi sauce topped with lots of bonito flakes. Surprisingly, the wasabi sauce did not overwhelm the taste and complemented this dish well. We both felt that the shrimps and scallops did not match up to this pizza. Both ingredients were not exactly fresh. What a waste.
After dinner we walked round the shopping centre and also visited Mediya, the Japanese supermarket while waiting for our food to digest. Before, we headed back home, we stopped over at Dulcet & Studio for its cakes.
The food trail coupon enabled us to order two pieces of cakes and also a cup of regular coffee. As we visited at close to 9pm, most of the more popular cakes had already been sold out. We were just left with three choices. =(
We chose the Rose Chiffon Cake (U.P. $7) and Macha Marble Chiffon Cake (U.P. $4) with a cup of regular coffee.
The Macha Marble Chiffon Cake was just average. It was soft and fluffy but too dry. The macha flavour could have been stronger.
The Rose Chiffon Cake fared better. It was soft, fluffy and had a stronger rose fragrant.
The coffee was a huge disappointment. We took just two sips and left it untouched.
That's all for the Liang Court Wednesdays' Food Tasting Trails. I wonder if they will hold this again next year. It's so value for money!
