Chong Qing (Original) Steamboat 重庆正宗老火锅

Albert Cafeteria, Chong Qing (Original) Steamboat is located along beach road. It is at the end of Liang Seah Street opposite Shaw Towers. Located among many other steamboat / hotpot outlets around Liang Seah street, competition is fierce and its price is competitive.


Chong Qing (Original) Steamboat specialises in Chinese steamboat, Si Chuan style. It has been around for a long time. went there on a Friday evening and the place was packed. In fact, most of the other steamboat outlets along Liang Seah Street was similarly crowded.
Price: Adult: $20, Children: $8 for its steamboat buffet. It includes free flow of drinks.
Soup Base
6 types of soup base for patrons to choose. We chose Herbal Soup and Tom Yam soup for each half of the pot.









Lots of variety of ingredients to choose for the steamboat buffet. Ranging from vegetables, eggs, mushrooms, fish balls, meat balls, chicken, pork, fish, squid, flower crab, potato, winter melon, toufu, prawns, clams, mussels, hot dogs and more! The ingredients were quite fresh and there were about 8 different types of dip sauce such as peanut, sesame and soya beancurd.

For $20 flat per adult, this is one steamboat worth going for. Cheap and good. But the service can be quite bad at times - It can be hard to the attention of the staff.

Traditional Queen Street Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee (Albert Centre Market Food Centre)

Traditional Queen Street Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee is located at Albert Centre Market Food Centre, in Bugis.
Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee $4.00
There was a short queue of about 4 people. I ordered the Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee. It was disappointing. Not fragrant enough, no hint of wok-hei. Moreover, prawns were not fresh. Am not going to waste my calories on this again. Having said that, do not be mistaken that there's no good food at Albert Centre Market Food Centre. There are, just that I did not have the time to queue for the good food.

Twelve Cupcakes (Millenia Walk) (2nd post)

*Edited 7 July 2012* Recently (2 days ago), Twelve Cupcakes owners Daniel Ong and Jamie Teo got themselves into a tussle over copyright issues for reproducing the SPH contents. The owners claimed that the amount in question is nearly $3,000 including $214 investigation cost. Read all about it here. 

My 2nd post on Twelve Cupcakes. The first post can be found here.

In a short time span of 7days, I have eaten cupcakes twice! Both occasions from Twelve Cupcakes. Cupcakes are addictive! Take a look at this article.

Take a look at it's ceiling!

Not a lot of variety left.
Menu
Menu (Price)
From the left: Chocolate Vanilla, PB Chocolate, Cookies N Cream
 Ordered 3 cupcakes. That would be $9.00
Chocolate Vanilla $3.00
The Chocolate Vanilla had a layer of chocolate cream cheese on top of vanilla cupcake.  Was average. Nothing to fantastic.
PB Chocolate $3.00
PB Chocolate... you maybe asking what does PB means? Well... it is Peanut Butter!! Peanute Butter on top of moist chocolate cupcake. This is delicious. What an idea. Definitely the best out of the three that was bought. I was tempted to just open a bottle of peanut butter and add more of it on top of this chocolate cake.
Cookies N Cream $3.00
Cookies and Cream on top of moist chocolate cupcake. The cookies and cream flavour was not strong enough. Else it would have been a deadly combination. Disappointing.

On another occasion on the same week..
From the left: Red Velvet, Lemon (special)
Vanilla cream cheese on red velvet cupcake was delicious. No wonder this is their bestseller. The vanilla cream was addictive.
Lemon (special) $3.50
Lemon cheese cream on top of vanilla cupcake was average. Did not quite like the lemon flavour on the cream.

Overall, I can now change my top favourites to PB Chocolate followed by Red Velvet and Chocolate Chocolate! I am quite curious on how the cream are made as they are quite delicious and complement the cupcakes well. In addition, notice that chocolate cupcakes are better than vanilla cupcakes.
