Food Blog: The Hand Burger
This is a newly opened fast-food restaurant, located at the basement of Raffles City. My detective friends brought me there for a food review, meet ups and grow fat session. Read on to know why~
It was kinda packed and we queued like 15 minutes before it was our turn. The restaurant was quite small. However, it looks big with a super big piece of mirror mounted on the wall and it was brightly lit with white lights, contrasted well with the black paintings. The cupboards has cute designs on it too. Gives a modern yet a classy and comfortable feel. Refreshing~
The menus are very special. Pieces of papers are clipped onto a board. You just need to flip to choose what burgers you want. The menus are very descriptive - The name of the burgers are boldly written on the front page. As you flipped, each burger's description with what's inside is (ingredients) clearly explained and a picture of it is given.
Therefore, it's kinda headache to choose from unless you know what you want as everything looks good. heh.
I was busier than them. hah
Stalking Robin??
The three of us shared a glass of this humongous mint freeze! It was godlike! It was refreshing and unbelieveably fantastic! Even much better than what the cafes (those you can slack and drink coffees) brought out. tsktsk~
Lemonade mint freeze
Finger licking good? Our turn soon to find out. heh
With our food
Gen and I ordered the same! We were like 'we should have ordered different ones to try hor after we placed our orders' -_- I ordered the duck as it has been a long long time since I ate duck meat! haha.
Anyways, food time! All the burgers come with either fries or a stuffed tomato. I dunno what's inside the stuffed tomato and since I prefer fries; fries was definitely my choice.
Tea Smoked Duck Burger: Tea smoked duck breast, mandarin orange, shredded leek, handmade peanut sesame sauce on a bed of coral lettuce, tomato on a toasted honey wholewheat multigrain bun.
The set
Tea smoked duck burger
Dun it just look good by staring at the pictures. heh. I simply love the burger! The bread was toasted just nice, with a bit of crisp and it taste kinda sweet even eaten it plainly. The smoked duck was yummy! Marinated well enough and the sauce enhanced the flavours even more!
The fries are good too! Yet, after finishing the whole burger, it will be hard to finish the fries. hahah. I especially love the sauce used to dip the fries. I suspect it's bbq sauce? I dunno ah~ But it's addictive. Once you dip, you cant stop!
Alternatively, if you dun want to have any meat (chicken, duck, beef, pork available), you can have a healthier choice like Grace! hahah
Stuffed Portobello Burger: Oven baked portobello stuffed with spinach, walnuts, parmesan cheese and beancurd topped with breadcrumbs served with handmade tomato herb sauce on a bed of coral lettuce, tomato on a toasted spinach with parmesan cheese bun.
Stuffed Portobello (Mushroom) Burger
The mushroom so hugeeeeee!
Note that for different burgers, they come with different healthy breads. heh. Grace sliced the mushroom for me to share. hah. I could taste the freshness of the mushroom and the patty stuffed inside. Yummy~
The burgers are kinda healthy with those wholemeal, multigrains bread and there's fruits like orange, mango added inside. It's not like those fast food chains with deep fried stuffs =D
Definitey will return for more burgers cravings. heh. The burgers satisfy me. A satisfy customer will always be delighted to go back for more. haha~
After such a hearty and filling meal, the two of them still wanna go for desserts. tsktsk. Every time after our meals, they will want to have desserts, especially cakes!!!! At this particular place when we meet at Vivo. lol.
Raffles City dun have that particular outlet here so they hunt for another hangout. hah
Waffles and what's not
Tiramisu in crepes with what's not
The waffles kinda win me rather than the tiramisu. heh. The ice-cream on the tiramisu is powerful strong though (coffee flavour). Yet, it was godlike. hahah. I surrender after finished my piece of waffles but they going stronger and stronger. tsk. How to slim down lidat!!!! They're bad friends!!! wahahahahah =/
And many thanks to Graceeee! hahah.
Tml, I'm meeting them for more food again!!!! And hopefully, Gen brought back some good stuffs for us in Rome! lol. I got this feeling, she will buy food back for us =/

Food Blog: E Blackboard 2
A revisit to E Blackboard 2 because my friend wanted to have budgeted western food around our area, we suggested this to her. As I've mentioned before, E Blackboard is like another Botak Jones and Astons who is dishing out great western food at affordable and reasonable tags to the HDB heartlanders.
Because this is the second branch they have, it's named as E Blackboard 2. The very first and original branch was at the extreme end of Singapore, namely New Upper Changi Rd, Bedok area. Gotta be fair to the Westerners right. Good food ought to be shared =) And they have quite a variety to choose from.
Chicken Chop
The pepperish gravy
My friends had an order of their Signature Chicken Chop each which comes with coleslaw, tuscan fries and chicken with the skin slightly charred. The chicken was actually quite good, juicy and well-marinated. With the flavoursome pepperish gravy over it, it was wonderful.
I tried the Cajun Chicken this time round, which comes with coleslaw, tuscan fries and chicken with gluey BBQ sauce spreaded on the slighty charred skin. The BBQ sauce was actually not bad, just a tad salty. Chicken wise, juicy and well-seasoned.
On a side note, I prefer Botak's fries. It tastes much better. This portion is enough to last me till the next day. Maybe Botak's need to re-check on their portion of fries. heh.
It's good to try and compare to see which of these 3 (Astons, Botak Jones and E Blackboard). By the way, E Blackboard is still having some promotions like discounting how many percent if you eat on a weekday lunch or dinner, weekend lunch or dinner and even student, with uniform.
Location:
eBB2: Blk 431 #01-196
Clementi Ave 3
(San Po Food Court)
Lastly, hopefully, everybody who tries, eats like her, so heartily. heh
- End
PS: I edited your face pretty not? =P

Food Blog: NYNY
I've always seen throngs of people queuing up there on weekends and dinners and wondered what the fuss was all about when I've heard negative feedbacks on this American Restaurant.
So this afternoon, I headed to one of its outlet at Lot 1 to meet the friends. The restaurant looks so funky and eye-catching because of its dazzling name and alluring interior decorations. The green and cozy furnitures are the signature of NYNY.
Once you settled down, a NY Time Post (menu) would be handed over to you. The design of it was pretty well done, very much of a newspaper; comprehensive. There were plentiful of dishes to choose from ranging from American Hamburgers to Spaghetti and other Western favourites. However, I was pretty skeptical of the food because of bad press (words of mouth). I really took my time in choosing the most recommended food as I dun wan to end up all grouchy after the meal. A bad meal is equalivent to a sulky me. hahah
After taken a bite, I heaved a sign of relief. Luckily, I wasnt having high expectations of the food served because they were generally alright; nothing fantastic and nothing that bad either. But definitely not worth queuing and waiting for it during the peak hours as there are nicer food elsewhere out there.
Dutch Mussels with 2 flavours - Cheese and Tomato
As claimed the premium quality Fish 'n' Chips
Cheesy Chicken
Beef something. The potato was good
I think the place was all bout decoration and little substance though I cant deny the fact that it's a cool place to hold gathering, lazing around with friends. So do people queue for the food or for the place? =P
Btw, Lot 1 has transformed tremendously as compared to the times when I was still in the white-black uniform, mugging hard in a school with its motto 'While I live, I
Sidenote: The weather these days are crazy which makes me wanna be a hermit! Going out means sweating like a pig =( Meanwhile, everyone drinks more water and take care!
