Sushi Tei

Anybody who has visited Vivocity during meal times would be very familiar with the long queue outside Sushi Tei. I am so glad that we don't have to join the queue. ;) That's what I like about visiting a popular restaurant during off-peak hours.

Chanwanmushi (9/10)



This should be the best I have taken so far. Wobbly, melt-in-the-mouth steamed egg with generous additions of (unexpected) ingredients like chicken meat, real crab meat and gingko nuts(!). >_<

Cha Soba



Salmon sashimi



Curry Croquette (8/10)



Lime (7/10) and Apricot Peach (6/10)



Price

$30+

Nice food. But would I stand in the long queue? No.

Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits

Hubby brought me to T3 today. Spacious. I like the smart design of having aluminium louvres to reflect sunlight into the building... That's about it. :P

I can hardly find clusters of people around, like I always would in the other two terminals... until I went to the Basement 2... coz that's where all the food are... :)~~~

I am not a big fan of Popeye's cartoon, but I thought I should give this a try. It is not everyday that I visit Changi Airport, ya know? ;P



Chicken Combo (9/10)



Yvonne, I seriously think you should go down and have another go! The chicken is so tender, juicy and yummy! :) I certainly prefer that to KFC's! :P

The biscuit was good at first sight bite, but too bland for my taste buds after subsequent bites. It tasted so much better after spreading the jam. A typical example of something that cannot be eaten on its own. :P Why am I thinking of my sausage biscuit again? >_<


Fries (9/10)
Whipped potato (10/10)



The fries were crispy and moderately spiced. It resembled Mac's curly fries except that it wasn't curled. Nice!

The whipped potato were exceptional, I tell ya! It's a must try! KFC's whipped potato all of a sudden seemed so starchy and inferior. :P

Chicken Fillet (7/10)



There must be a reason why nine out of ten people in the restuarant ordered the chicken combo. I happened to be the 10th! It's really a mistake on my part. W
hy didn't I open my eyes big big to observe what others had before ordering? Oh ok. Actually it wasn't that bad... as long as I don't compare. :P

Service
very sloow service. My hub queued for a good 20+ minutes.

Price
Forgot to ask / too hungry to ask my hub

Cedele Depot

I knew I was going to lay my hands teeth on a cedele cake anytime. I have passed by it too many times to ignore the beckoning from the cakeys.

Chocolate Truffle Cake (8/10)

This is a popular recommendation made by most floggers. And because chocolate's my favourite too, I didn't take long to choose.



I say this is nice! I find 'mousse-like mixture' (as described by Ice) too overwhelming though. In terms of quantity. I prefer a thicker biscuit crumble. >_<


Price
$7.30 for the cake set which comes with tea

They ran out of the green tea flavour. :(

Sesame Flavour



I've never liked sesame flavoured ice cream, so no (biased) ratings this round. Just pics. :)

QQ Noodle House

Fried QQ noodle (9/10)



Sambal Rice (10/10)



Yes, I am back for the Sambal Fried Rice. It taste as good as before. Spicy, hot and shiok!

Meatball Soup (9/10)



Taste like wanton soup base.

Price
$16.50

Mcgriddles Sausage & Egg

Sometimes, you just want to try out that new product even before getting the facts right on what you will be getting.



Mcgriddles Sausage & Egg (6/10)

Fans of Mac's hotcake would probably love this...



... for they are nothing more than sausage and egg sandwiched between two slightly sweetened hotcakes. My hub love it. =/

If there's any Mac breakfast that I have enjoyed most in my life, it has to be the sausage biscuit! Alas, they stopped selling this about 2 decades ago.

The last time I had that was in the US few years ago. I would kiss anyone who can prepare an authentic, hot sausage biscuit for me now. o_O

Sausage biscuit (10/10)




*sings* 'Nothing compared to youuuuu'

I said no when she asked if I wanted any mustard. Obviously she didn't registered it in. :P

Full House

I didn't know that Yuan Yang comes in the 'cold' version too. >_<" It was too late when I realised that.

Iced Yuan Yang (7/10)
Grass Jelly Milk (?)



JN has a sweet tooth. Donut Factory's donut level of sweetness was 'okay' for her. So when she said that her Glass Jelly Milk is sweet, I had to reject her offer to take a sip. :P

Price
$1.90 each

Shih Lin Taiwan Street Snacks

One of my friends once told me, "Our local Shih Lin chicken cutlet is nothing compared to the authentic Taiwan Shih Lin night market's chicken cutlet."

I have tried the Taiwan's version. Yes, the one with the super long queue.



I too, queued (in the drizzle) for a good 20-25 minutes just to buy this 'must try'. :P Frankly speaking, I felt that it was over-rated by many.

Taiwan's Hao Da Chicken Cutlet (7/10)


My friend's comments kept me well and away from the local Shih Lin's stall for quite a while. I mean if I consider the authentic one so-so only, how much better can the local one be?

My curiosity gave way.

Shih Lin's famous Chicken Cutlet (9/10)



It was fried to a golden crisp and was still piping hot (I can still see the steam after minutes!) when it was served. *crunch crunch* The spice that was added after frying also gave an extra punch to the end product!

Price

Quick Bite

"Shall we take a quick bite at Quick Bite?" I sms-ed JN.

I suggested that not because of any good reviews or whatsoever, but because the name of the snack stall matches with what we were going to have before rushing for our 730pm show. Sounds silly right? :P

Anyway it turned out that the food was not bad!

Original Lover (8/10)



The rice tasted great with the sauce. Its level of sweetness was just right. The chicken meat was tender and savoury. It would be at least a 9 if not for quite a few charred areas. No good for health. *wags forefinger*

JN wasn't too impressed with what she has ordered though.

Price

$6 inclusive of passionate fruit drink
Value for money!

My firsts.

That was the first time I have my meal at Quick Bite, the first time I have been to The Cathay (yes, I am that sua ku) and the first time I watched a movie with JN!

But this is certainly not the first time I am watching a dance movie. Those who catches dance movies regularly will more or less know the copy-and-paste plot. It usually involves delinquency, a guy and a girl, one of which is forced to do a dance he/she doesn't like and ends up putting a great show with the support of his/her partner. Those who were initially against them will always smile in approval after watching their performance. :P

This is with the case of "Step Up 2" that I have watched today.



Those who are looking for some interesting or new plots can forget about watching the show.

Having said that, I still find that movie rather enjoyable. Not in terms of plot, of course. But rather, on the moves (as always).

I particularly like the part whereby the actor do the pull-and-let-go action with the actress (as seen on the bottom of the poster above). Very natural. I love the soundtrack, "Low" by Flo Rida too. Makes me wanna grooove to the music. And yes, Andie's so chio and sexaaay, especially when she's drenched! *drools* :P~~~

I hardly have friends who likes watching hip hop dances too. In fact, JN's the only one I guess. So if you are reading this, JN, thanks for jio-ing and for being such a great company! :)
