Kith Cafe / Pique Nique

Kith Cafe

On the second day of intern for the intern kids, we met for dinner for them to rant about their intern experience and also for our Gourmet Tuesday! It feels like we're all adults now. They're having 9-6 jobs, and the only time we get to rest / meet up are dinner times. I don't wanna grow up...

Truffle Fries

The truffle wasn't that strong as Au Chocolat's and I thought it'd have been better in steak fries rather than shoestring fries though. But the mayo dip made up for it.

Grilled Eggplant Sandwich

Eggplants are my favourite but this was the worst eggplant decision of my life. Couldn't take the taste of truffle smeared all over the eggplants and the eggplants tasted.... awfully bland. It was just a bad idea despite the rest strongly discouraging me to since the start. The only pro to this dish were the tiny cubes of brie and baby spinach that came with it.

Bryan's Sirloin Steak Sandwich

Edmund had the Vodka Pasta which I thought was quite a refreshing idea. Y'know how some pastas get so jerlard after awhile? This doesn't. Moreover, it doesn't come with any sides like meat or anything, just plain pasta, and it's still sufficient to satisfy your hunger pangs. Sadly I can't show you how the dish looks like. It was entirely devoured within seconds after it was served :-(

I'd really like to return there again to give the cafe a second chance, because honestly I was quite disappointed with the food. And it's not cheap... Oh and it's quite easy to locate the restaurant. It's situated just outside Park Mall. You have to enter from the outside because it can't be accessed from inside. You're welcome.

Pique Nique

The Tokyo Connection Burger

As eccentric as it sounds, this was the first item on the menu that caught my attention because it comes with wasabi mayo and wasabi mayo anything is worth a go. Basically it's a burger that comes with a (humongous) slab of teriyaki chicken with some mashed potatoes smeared over it. All was good until I realised there wasn't any wasabi mayo in it; I had to ask for it and they weren't so happy to give it. I mean... whut...? But that aside, tolerating shitty service was still worth it for this $12.80 burger.

Bryan's The Roasted Chicken and Mushroom Mac & Cheese

Pique Nique can be found just beside KFC, one storey above where the exhibitions and food fairs are usually held. It's appropriate for the budget kids like *ahem* us, and for small groups too.

NamNam Noodle Bar / Tiong Bahru Bakery / Ssikkek BBQ

Yesterday, Trisha came to visit me and Edmund at work and since we were nearby Raffles City, we decided to give these two places a try:

NamNam Noodle Bar

Lunch Set: Beef Pho, Southern Rolls, Iced Lotus Tea

First to be served were the Southern Rolls. The skin was tough and doughy but other than that, this Vietnamese popiah was a delightful dish, especially when consumed with the dip that comes with it. For the beef pho, the mild spiciness of the fresh chilli and sourness of the lime blended really well to form a concoction of perfection and the portion of beef was really generous. I would have to say though, that the iced lotus tea was a spoiler. If I had to describe how it tasted, I wouldn't be able to because it was tasteless.

Tiong Bahru Bakery

Apple Crumble, Marron Cassis Millefeuille, Banana Chocolate Crumble

In personal opinion, the portions are generally huge and meant for sharing unless you are a dessert vacuum machine. Else, it'd be filling enough to be shared between two. Y'know how some apple crumble pies are too sweet some times? TBB's Apple Crumble pie was just right. Not too sweet yet not bland either. Same goes for the Banana Chocolate Crumble. Didn't quite fancy the Marron Cassis Mille-feuille though, because the cassis was too sour for my liking.

The next day, we met again for dinner as part of our Gourmet Tuesday plan!

Sikkek Traditional Korean Bbq Restaurant

Ginseng chicken soup was extremely unacceptable. I mean, you can't call it ginseng chicken soup if you can't taste the ginseng or the chicken. Ended up having to finish the Ddeokbokki all by myself 'cause nobody wanted it, and the glass noodle too (except I didn't offer it to anyone anyway 'cause it was so addictive). Nic was hooked onto the prata-like 'pancake' and she grew annoyed when I hid her garlic underneath the meat. The only meat I liked were the pork bellies and the garlic chicken. Overall, I'm not so much of a bbq fan so I didn't really enjoy this meal. But go for it if you are a meat enthusiast!
