Taiwan snacks @ Punggol Plaza [Ended]

Love those Taiwan Crispy Chicken and was pleasantly surprised to find it outside Punggol Plaza. The stall is only there for 2 weeks... hope they will extend but the owner fedback that business wasn't good. There was no publicity for them.

The deep-fried crispy chicken, similar to those found in Taiwan. After deep-frying, chilli powder and seasoning powder is added. Yummy!

Tangy Breaded Dory @ Essential Brew [Closed]

This month's birthday celebation was at Essential Brew, a cosy 2-storey cafe at 269 Holland Ave (Holland Village) Singapore 278990.

As the name suggests, it is a place to have a cup of tea with friends on a lazy afternoon or chill-out after work.

Downstairs, there is a choice of sitting on a chair or on the parquet floors... for upstairs, you only have 1 choice and that is - sit on the floor with low tables. If you are lucky, you will get a window seat and you get to enjoy the busy night view of Holland Road.

Set lunch @ Essential Brew is reasonably priced starting from $9.95 which includes a soup, main and tea. I had the Tangy Breaded Dory ($11.95) which came with corn soup (I think) and I had lavander tea.

Checkout my colleague's lemongrass dory and prawn combo... really worth it for only $14.95!

While the food quality was alright, they ought to improve their service level to handle large group. For 18 of us, some only got their food while others already finished their share... Hmm....

Chicken Parmesan @ Amici Italian Restaurant

Was at Amici Italian Restaurant in Holland V yesterday. This is probably my 3rd time there and simple love the food.

Their set lunch is really reasonably price for the food quality you get, starting from $10.90. They also have $8 express special which does does not come with soup and coffee & tea.

I had the Parmesan Chicken served in lemon oil. Between soup and salad, I went of the soup of the day, which was Cream of Cabbage. My colleagues were initially very skeptical if Cream of Cabbage would be good, but it turned out to be really good. Highly recommended!!

Here's my Parmesan Chicken, served in 2 relatively huge chucks of chicken breast meat with slices of potato and carrot and pieces of broccoli and cauliflower. The chicken was quite tender and tasty.

The restaurant was also very generous to offer us tiramisu for our birthday 'boy' and 'girl'.

Great place for gatherings with friends. We had 16 of us there yesterday and given an exclusive corner away from the main section of the dining area.

Popeyes Chicken & Biscuit @ T3

Popeyes has opened a new outlet and yes, it is in the airport again which I can't understand why they can only be found at the 3 terminals and not anywhere else in Singapore. In T3, it is located just next to the Kopitiam foodcourt at Basement 2.

For a 4-piece set meal ($13.95), it comes with 4 pieces of chicken, 2 drinks, 3 side dishes and 2 biscuits (and jam). Side dish selection include fries, mash potato, coleslaw or redbean rice. Not all may like the red-bean rice cos the taste is a little unusual. You'd either love it or hate it.
