Petit Provence

As I entered the shop, I was greeted by this sign.

"Wassants sold out"

I glanced at the time on my phone. Geez... it's only 1pm? I presume that Wassants is their signature pastry, but even to sell anything out at this early hour only goes to show how popular this shop is!

I walked around for quite some time, trying to spot the pastries that were introduced in the "Fatty superman" show on Channel 8 a few weeks ago. Not any that I could recall. Finally, I decided to choose this pastry.

Quality
"Milk" Pastry (8/10)



I can't remember the name, but there was a 'milk' in it. Boy, it was good. The crust is as crispy as it seems and the milk and egg filling is soft and sweet. Quite simliar to the fillings of an egg tart.

Type
Snacks

Service
The cashiers were smiley and fast.

Ambience
Very cosy feeling (in terms of light and the squeeziness of the crowd :P)

Price
Reasonable ($1+)

Nasi Lemak @ Holland Village

Everybody's heard about the Nasi Lemak in Holland Village. Or at least, through the drama series 'Holland Village' a few years back?

I hardly go to Holland Village. So when I went there, I knew I must have that famous Nasi Lemak for lunch.

Type
Malay

Quality
Nasi Lemak (9/10)

Just the following photo does it huh?



I wanted to stop at 3 dishes, but just couldn't help to order one more. The good thing about this stall is that it allows you to choose more peanuts because the peanuts and ikan bilis were kept separate.

All the dishes were superb, but what outshined them was actually the coconut rice! I seldom came across such soft, fragrant coconut rice and I was full of smiles for each bite I took.


Service

Pretty prompt

Ambience
Very kopitiam feel. I thought that it would be very crowded and left with no seats, but nah, I managed to get myself seated comfortably without anybody sitting beside.

Price
$4+. I thought it's pretty reasonable in terms of the location and the good taste I was experiencing.
