SourPuss Café @ Esplanade

On behalf of HarKau SiewMai, wishing all readers a very HaPPy NeW YeAr, Best Wishes, Good Health and Incredible Success for 2010!

4 hours before the arrival of 2010, managed to drop by Esplanade, Singapore for dinner. Esplanade is something like “2 durians “located along Marina Bay, close to the Singapore River. Inside the durians comprised of concert halls and theatres for art performance. In short it’s a theatre on the bay.

After exploring a while ended up in SourPuss Café. The cafe seems small inside, yet they have varieties of food ranging from western burgers, pasta to satay and ikan bakars. The mushroom chicken pasta seems ordinary nothing special, but the marinara pasta seems superb. Marinara pasta is seafood pasta filled with prawns. Don’t really have a picture of it, but the aroma and display of the marinara pasta were terrific.

Other than that, the ikan bakar sambal was equally good as well. The portion of ikan bakar was big and fresh. On top of that the sambal tastes delicious, sweet and spicy. So, if you cant take hot and spicy, yet wanting to try this. Remember to inform that you want it to be less spicy.

The place is nice for chillout, in normal days it should be quiet and peaceful. Nearby the cafe there is a perfect view to river side. Average spending per person is about SGD 13-15. It locates at 1st floor of Esplanade Mall... The speed of food serving is slow may be it was full house that day. Overall, great.

Ajitei Japanese Cuisine @ Plaza Singapore

Hoho Merry Chrismas... Everyone is in holiday mood...
After a busy week... It's time to treat myself with a great meal...
I was told to meet up at "Wei Jing" (in Mandarin) in Plaza Singapura. I was thinking it probably will be serving us with Ajinomotos... After exploring around for the location, I realised that I got the name wrong it was known as "Wei Ting" ... lol...

Instead of getting ramen, we added some twist by ordering a pattaya, cheese baked rice and curry. But first presenting to you Gyoza Wafu, 5 pieces of very hot "jiazi"... wahaha... Nothing very special.
Then comes the Mr salmon (Grill Salmon Fin). The display was interesting with the head and fin. It seems as if the fish was grilled when it was diving into the Atlantic ocean... The fish was kind of fresh and it is crunchy... Pretty nice for a fish head lover...
Then comes the pattaya. To me it really looks like nasi pattaya or omurice. But actually there's no rice in it. Hiding inside the net of mayonnaise, BBQ sauce and fried eggs was my favour, slices of cabbage. If you are vege lover, an equation of vege+mayonnaise+fried eggs = the feeling of salad...haha

Finally comes the Yaki Seafood. It seems like cheese baked rice, but on top of it there is mix of curry in the rice. It is not very spicy and it tastes very nice together with the cheese and prawns. Best of all, it is quite reasonable at the price of $6.80. If you dont want seafood, can try out Yaki Chicken which is a dollar cheaper with chickens.

Overall, we enjoy our meal. the environment is quite so pretty awesome to chat. Average per person spending is $13. Other than these, they also have varieties of dessert as well, and rumours said it's not bad.

Presenting to you.....

Well, I'm not that cheap for not investing any money for Harkau Siewmai...But this what I get after ordering.
1 drink , 2 small buckets and 3 8. I suppose they ask me to wait? ok, so we wait then? by the way what is the 2 small buckets? While waiting for the food, let check out what's it...
Written "coffee fresh", "better half"... WTH is MILK!!! Burger plus milk?


You can try, but I putting it into my drink. Oh forget to mention I am having Ice Milk Tea... Oh yeah, this is the time where looking how the milk and tea get together, while waiting for the burger. If u had another cup u can speed up the fusion process, by making the well known "teh tarik....."

Ok, the lady came with a basket of food and taken away the 38. Foods checked....
French fries bigger than the Mc Donalds.
The next moment will be the "MOS burger Unwrap" This is the moment we long waited for....
