Hoji tea cookies from Kaorisabo

Thanks to Ivy for these lovely Japanese style cookies.
They came in a lovely gift bag.

There are three flavours: Matcha, Hoji tea and black bean.




Tried the hoji-tea flavour which had a strong roasted smell and taste with pieces of tea leaves in it.
The bitterness of the tea flavour in the cookie was balanced nicely by the butteryness of the cookies.

Noodles again at Min Max 1950

Went here ages ago and had some noodles.

The style is still the same, you have to order the noodles electronically and pay by octopus.

Egg noodles with luncheon meat:


The broth was not strong hence the noodles were tasteless and the luncheon ham was weird and different to the ones I have had before because it had lots of dark red bits and looked scarily unappetizing.

Mrs Fields Christmas cookies 2014

Thanks to All Gain International for this Christmas jar of cookies.

(Moose Plastic Cookie Jar)
Inside there are six cookies.

As usual, these cookies were soft and chewy, the chocolate one was my favourite because I love the chocolate chips.

FABCAFE X Urban Bakery

I am not a fan of their croissants because they taste too buttery but I went to the popup stall at Hysan place to get a gift for my friend.

With any purchase, you get a chance to design something if you are lucky.

Luckily, I got the 2D gift ornament which allows you to design something to be printed with the purchase of a gingerbread man.

(FORGOT TO TAKE PIC) but it was the gingerbread man that has bones on it looking like the character from the film SCREAM.
If I had been advised that the thin pen strokes wouldn't print out so well, I would have made them thicker.

Anyway, here it is being printed out, the white line of dots are the lasers in action.

Finished product.

Weird pizza at Kravin Cafe

Stopped by because the tea selection looked promising.

Unfortunately the food wasn't that good.

Tried the pizza and pasta.
On the other menu, the English name for the pizza was naan.

Chicken and cashew pizza:


The pizza base was meant to be naan according to the English menu but it was actually puff pastry.
Puff pastry is fine as long the toppings taste nice but they were SWEET.
Luckily it was a small pizza which didn't take up my appetite to eat other stuff elsewhere.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican spaghetti bolognaise:

The spaghetti was already precooked so it was just microwaved with the sauce on top.
I didn't like the sauce because it was watery and tasteless. There were kidney beans to make it look like Mexican food but it lacked Mexican spices.
