The Bakery Chef

Head down for cakes at The Bakery Chef located Blk 161 Bukit Merah Central.
We shared the choclate cupcake, kalamasi cake and green tea cake. The green tea cake taste good with red bean in between the green tea sponge adding crunch. The kalamsi cake has a natural citrus flavour that is really refreshing. Choclaholics would love the rich choclate cupcake.

Elemen at Thomson Plaza

Went to Elemen at Thomson Plaza after recommendation by my mum who prefer the food there than sufood. She is right! The Japanese and Asian food were really good.

2 of us picked the 5 course meal for 23.80 includes appetizer, salad or soup, main, dessert, drink. The other person picked the 7 course meal.

The standard appetizer set comes with 3 different small shaped appetizer with recommended eating sequence. Mmm. Refreshing.

Herbal soup is nice..a strong mushroom taste, great for mushroom lovers like me. Salad is good.  Forgot to take pictures until the mains. Perhaps because the soup and salad is not spectacular.

I loved all the mains we picked.

Braised pumpkin stew with glutinous rice in hotstone. Loved the crispy glutinous rice the most. It went really well with the pumpkin based stew. 

The tea toufu wheat noodle with the natural tomato soup maybe blend for some but great for me as I could taste the natural ingredients without the overuse of sauces.

Avocado roll never fails with the perfect mixture of mayo and teriyaki sauce.

I'm not a fan of the Italian fusion there. Taste too asian for me.  My other friends who tried the western mains had the same sentiments.  

Really liked the floral tea. Comes with real dried flowers not tea bags like some cafes.

Dessert is ok. The local flavoured desserts can't fight with our local stalls.but taste alright. I like the jelly because it's not sweet with the sugars but with the natural ingredients.

Would visit again and try the other mains.

Enjoy Soup at The Soup Spoon

The Soup Spoon used to be one of my regular dinner place for good soup as light dinner. The 4 vegetarian options still remain when I returned to Singapore with other new options -

Tangy Tomato with Basil

Velvety Mushroom Stroganoff

Meatless Minestrone

Roasted Pumpkin

Vegan Doenjang Tteokguk

Tried the mushroom and the tomato soup last night. Still as good but the tomato soup seems to be spicier than what I knew. Maybe my palate has changed for spicy food after staying in Australia for a while?

There's more options for sides too.  The different sets and options - half half, breadbowl, sandwich, salad, flatbread or cake. Yummy........ I look forward to many more of my expedition there.
