Piri piri!! Frantically back for Flaming Frango

On my last visit, I couldn't get enough of piri piri chicken so I came back for more.
Their chicken is marinated for 24 hours so that the chicken is tasty.

Here was what I had.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sauces:

There are two sauces, the FLAMIN HOT (orange one) is spicy which adds a sharp spiciness to the food while the (MINT and CORIANDER) green one is cooling.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Half chicken with two sides $198:

The chicken was better than my previous visit because it wasn't so spicy and it was tender and juicy.
The side of rice was really good with the chicken because it was lightly flavoured with tumeric.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Calamari spiced with mint, coriander and piri piri:



The calamari served with piri aioli was good but the coating could be crispier.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Piri-piri chicken jam served with crusted bread $78:

The chicken jam was amazing because the texture was exactly like chicken liver pate but there is no liver in it.
It tastes so good that they could sell a chicken jam salad baguette for lunch!!
The chicken jam was velvety with an intense spiciness.
Personally I liked the bread not buttered so that I could taste the full flavours of chicken jam.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mediterranean salad $108:

A simple salad of tomatoes, cucumber, caramelized oranges, halloumi cheese, red peppers, and olives.
This was delicious because everything tasted good together especially the halloumi which gave the salad some saltiness while the sweetness came from the oranges.

Volcanic eruption!!!

Went here during the CNY for more desserts.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lucky Mandarin:

Got this one because I have previously tried the rose garden.
It was A light and fruity yogurt ice cream made with mandarin puree and yuzu pieces, decorated with an edible leaf and twig, just like a real mandarin!
I really liked this because the I could also taste citrus peel which gave it another dimension like you were eating a real mandarin.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Volcanic dessert:
My friend ordered this because of the gimmick that it would erupt, basically they put crushed dry ice in the cavity and pour hot honey sauce which will then erupt when it gets in contact with the dry ice.




It was a rich and velvety with a strong chocolate truffle taste.

More choices at White Beard Fish n Chips

As I was going to Art Central, I stopped by for some snacks!

I was surprised to see new items on the menu and they even have paprika cocoa fish and chips and mushroom popcorn which means I have to go again to try it.


There were apple pies in the cabinet which looked like McDonalds one.

Sauces:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Oysters:

Batter was light and the oysters were huge and juicy wiht a strong taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Passion fruit tartar Sauce:

The oysters didn't really need sauce but I found some liquid filled pearls in the sauce which was interesting.
They would probably go well with the battered fish when the passionfruit liquid inside bursts to cut the grease of the battered fish.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apple pie:


I tried it because I was curious if it was McDonald's apple pies and yes it tasted the same but the apple pie here is sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.

Beefy warrior meal at Wasabi Warriors

Came back again to try the Warrior meal, there were lots of rolls and bites to choose from.






★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crumbled chicken with avocado (left) and cooked tuna (right)

Both were tasty and fresh but I wish there was more filling and it would be good if the rice could be softer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soft shell crab and fresh scallop bite

The soft shell crab was tasty but again the rice was too dense.
As for the salmon bite, it was sweet glazed with Japanese mayonnaise and avocado.

Great soymilk desserts but they could taste better

Walked past and saw these soymilk desserts so went in and tried them.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mini glutinous rice dumplings in soymilk:

The soymilk was lightly sweetened and it had a reasonable soy bean taste, however the dumplings were too soft otherwise it would have been a perfect dessert.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet potatoes and ginger jam in soymilk:
This was also another good dessert but the sweet potatoes were too hard and starchy but it was nice it had pieces of beancurd sheets in it.

At the bottom there was ginger jam which didn't quite go well with the dessert.

I think it would taste better if there was no ginger jam and it would be great if the pieces of sweet potatoes were softer.

[OVOCAFE] Second encounter with their Brussel sprouts

I don't know what it is but everytime I order their dishes with brussel sprouts it turns out a disaster.
On the last visit, I got the Brussel sprouts and apple in sesame sauce and only ended up with two brussel sprouts when it should be the main item of the dish.
This time I got the gnocchi with brussel sprouts and I ended up with two overgrown ones which were big and hard because they were not blanched long enough.

The gnocchi was ok but the tomato sauce was a bit acidic.

foodpanda x Social Place

My friend ordered Social place through food panda and here was some of the great food we had.


☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
truffle shiitake buns:

They are basically buns filled with chopped mushrooms and truffle coated in chocolate powder to look like they were just plucked from the soil.
These buns were delicious with warm mushrooms in the middle covered in fragrant truffle sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Custard buns:

These buns had a delicious runny centre with fragrant egg custard in the middle that was not too sweet.

Magic volcano at Labmade

Came here because of the Volcanic dessert:

When you order, they will prepare the volcano!!

They crush some dry ice to put in the volcano.


After that, they pour some hot sauce in the volcano which causes the eruption due to the temperature difference.




The dessert was a bit too rich for me because it was made of truffle and not cake.
