Sour Sally (Wisma Atria)

As mentioned in my first post on Sour Sally in my wordpress blog, Sour Sally  has arrived at the shores of our sunny island, Singapore! Sour Sally has branded itself as US Premium Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt. Sour Sally has come to Singapore and is located at Wisma Atria.

Made a second trip down as we bought Groupon vouchers that would allow us to purchase 1 Shaved Ice Escapade Froyo with Any Choice of Flavour. Usual price for this is $9.80. With the Voucher it is $4.90. We purchased 2 vouchers.

Shaved Ice Escapade (Green Tea Flavour) $9.30 $4.90

The Shaved Ice Escapade was huge! It is ideal for sharing with a group of friends. Even sharing among 2 person is a feat. As we could not get any seats, as we stand and eat, noticed that many people were staring at us as they were walking pass.

Ordered the green tea flavour. It comes with 3 toppings. It was not as sour as the Candy Mix Yoghurt that we had previously. We had a hard task of eating it as there was too much and guess what? ....

When were were halfway there, we came to the shaved ice! I had totally forgot about the shaved ice. Overall, this is a delicious dessert and helps to quench the thirst. And for $4.90, it was worth it. But if you want to order this, try to get more than  2 people to share or it will be an uphill task finishing it. If you are curious if the two of us finished it... well we did not could not finish it!

Tiong Shian Porridge 長城粥品 (New Bridge Road)

Tiong Shian Porridge has been around for a long time. It is located at a coffee shop which is just a stone throw away from Chinatown MRT Station, along New Bridge Road.

Tiong Shian Porridge

Tiong Shian Porridge specialises in serving porridge and also claypot frog leg porridge. 

Went on two different occasions. During the first occasion, we arrived during dinner time and this place was filled to the brim! We ordered and waited for close to half an hour before the food arrived.

Plain Porridge $0.60

The Plain Porridge is so cheap! Just $0.60 for such a big bowl of porridge! Cheap and good!

Raw Fish $3.70

I had already mixed up the Raw Fish with the sauce, hence this unsightly picture. This picture does not do this dish any justice. Looks quite appetising right? Well....it was awesome! The fish was very fresh with no fishy smell. Saw that most tables ordered this item too. For $3.70 this dish is very certainty worth it. A must try dish!

Dried Chilli Frog Leg $8.00

The Dried Chilli Frog Leg was delicious. Right amount of spiciness and the frog leg was well cooked. It was tender and fragrant having absorbed the sauce. Adding the sauce to the Plain Porridge made it even more aromatic! Shiokolicious! 

Dried Chilli Fish Head $8.50

I have never tried claypot Dried Chilli Fish Head before. I was quite surprised that the chilli fish head was so delicious. Well, maybe part of the reason was because I quite like fish head (to me anything with bones, tend to be nicer; more tender) . Moreover, the sauce was so aromatic, similar to the sauce from the Dried Chilli Frog Leg. 

On the second occasion, I also patronised the place for dinner. This time I went slightly earlier at 6pm. The place was similar packed! Hence, yet again, we waited half an hour.

Any guess what this is?

Well, it is not plain porridge. 

Century Egg Porridge $3.80

It is Century Egg Porridge! There seems to be a lack of flavour in the porridge. Porridge was quite smooth. Moreover, the century egg was of good quality.

Frog with Ginger Onion $8.00

This time we ordered the Frog with Ginger Onion. The sauce this time was sweet and salty, not spicy with a distinct ginger fragrant. Shiok, but I still prefer the Dried Chilli Frog Leg.

Plain Porridge $0.60

Mix the sauce from the Frog with Ginger Onion with the plain porridge. And throw in some of the frog legs will make this plain porridge so delicious that you wonder why it cost 60 cents.

Overall, Tiong Shian Porridge is certainty a place to come for its porridge, claypot frog leg and raw fish! If the place is packed, there are seats upstairs. Not a bad place except that it can get really warm. Be prepared to sweat it out. But for the food, it is well worth it! Can't really compare to the one at Geyland Lorong 9 as I have forgotten the taste (the last time I was there was 8 years ago). Many gems in Chinatown to explore. Lots of good food nearby. I will certainty be back if I have the time.

Gantetsu Ramen (Ramen Champion @ Iluma)

4th visit to Ramen Champion. This time, I tried Gantetsu from Sapporo. 2 more visits and I would have covered all the 6 Japanese Ramen restaurants. 

Weird that the name of the stall is called Gantetsu considering its meaning is stubbornness. 

Gantetsu Menu

Gantetsu Menu (Special Miso Ramen)

There was no queue. Yet, a 'landmine' was given. Waited for around 5 to 10 minutes before the landmine exploded. Good to know that they cook their ramen only upon receiving orders. 

Special Miso Ramen $15.00

The Special Miso Ramen comes with a ginger paste. It's broth made up of pork and miso was light and flavourful. The noodles was thin and firm. The sweet coin provided a distinct sweetness to the broth.  But the tamago was slightly overcook. Overall, quite an interesting ramen which was not overly salty. 

The 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

Domino's Pizza (Delivery)

This post is 5 months overdue. Ordered Domino's Pizza, delivered to my home for dinner for the two of us.

Domino's Pizza made a comeback in Singapore in 2010 after a 10 year absence. Domino's Pizza first came to Singapore in 1992 and exited in 2000. Currently, there are 13 outlets in Singapore and has a 30 minute delivery guarantee. No more having to wait 1 hour for your pizzas. Furthermore, Domino's Pizza is Halal Certified.

GPS Tracker

Furthermore, with their GPS tracker,  you can now track the stage where your pizza is.

Domino's Pizza has many different types of meals such as the Cheese Overload Meal ($39.80), Prawn Sensation Meal ($39.80), Cheese Burst Meal ($39.80), Sweet Sensation Meal ($43.80), Party Meal ($99.80), Value Meal ($29.80, $49.80, $34.80) and their monthly specials. For more details, click here. (Please note, I am not linked to Domino's Pizza nor am I paid to promote their menu. Just want to give full information to readers). Oh yes, did I mentioned that the prices are nett? No other hidden charges such as ERP. Well done!


We ordered the Cheese Burst Meal for $39.80 which consist of a 1 Regular Cheese Burst Pizza, 1 Regular Pizza, 1 Chocolate Lava cake and one Breadstick or Twisty Bread or Cinnastix. In addition, they had a promotion and this meal comes along with free Garlic Cheese Onion Rings.

The meal was delivered to us within 25 minutes! Ours should be from the outlet in Sembawang.

Hawaiian Paradise

Mozzarella cheese with smoked chicken breast, turkey ham and pineapple, you can never go wrong with Hawaiian pizzas. Always one of my favourite pizzas.

Extravaganzza

Apologies for the unclear picture. In fact, some of the photos in this post are taken quite badly as I was too hungry.

The Extravaganzza pizza consist of mozzarella cheese with beef pepperoni,  grounded beef, green pepper, onions, mushrooms and olives. So many ingredients. Very flavourful and fragrant.

Cinnastix

The Cinnastix was soft and fluffy sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.  Quite interesting and unique. But way too much flour/dough for a meal.

Garlic Cheese Onion Rings

Garlic Cheese Onion Rings

One thing I am certain is that I could not taste any hint of cheese or garlic. Which is not necessary a bad thing. Thought that this was just average.

Chocolate Lava Cake

With such a large amount of food for the two of us, we kept this for the next day. Sinful molten chocolate will start oozing out once you break through the layer of cake. Quite nice.

Overall, quite like Domino's Pizza. With its fast delivery time, nett prices and delicious pizzas I am won over already. One thing that I learnt too was that this is way too much for two person to share! We could not finish the chocolate lava cake, two slices of the Extravaganzza pizza and the four pieces of cinnastix.

928 Yishun Laksa (Yishun Central)

This laksa stall is commonly known as the '928 Yishun Laksa'. Why 928? Because this tiny stall is situated at a little corner of Blk 928. This is Yishun’s most famous and best laksa. It is a household name in Yishun. This stall has been around since I was in Secondary school, and that is 15 years ago! 

928 Yishun Laksa

Go to the correct stall. The stall is at the right side of the picture above. Do take note at the left side of the picture with the shutter down, there is a similar laksa stall there. For me, I prefer the one at the right, which  sells the best laksa in Yishun. 

Long queue despite the time being 4pm in the afternoon. 

It is just a tiny stall. But do not under estimate its power. The laksa comes at $2.50 or $3.00. Yes, the owner sells laksa only. And there is always a queue. Oh yes, this stall is featured frequently on TV (food shows), magazines and websites such as Makansutra. 

Laksa $3.00

As the saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words. Look at the ingredients. Reasonable amount of fish cakes, dried toufu, crabsticks, fresh bean sprouts, half hard boiled egg, lots of thick bee hoon. Normally, it comes with hum. In this case, I requested for no hum (Uncle Mai Hum..haha reminds me of this). Laksa leaves and sambal chilli paste which you can add according to your preference. The laksa gravy is fragrant, rich with bits of dried shrimps, right amount of coconut milk and chilli. Not oily too. It is so fragrant that I find myself drinking spoonful of laksa gravy despite sweating all over and before I knew it I finish the whole bowl! Yes, even all the gravy!  This $3.00 is worth the money. 

The downside is that there is limited space to sit and also be prepared to sweat it out eating this as there is only 1 small fan. But I would say this is one laksa worth sweating and paying for. Give this a try! Who says there is nothing good in the north!

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!
