Cronuts at Green Pumpkin

Posted on May 24, 2015 by bookjunkie

I didn’t want to try these, but they do make a pretty sight. Think I prefer to either have a donut or a croissant. Not keen on the fusion, but perhaps I shouldn’t knock it before I try it.

Went Healthy with a Wrap from Smoothie King

Posted on May 24, 2015 by bookjunkie

Tried the BBQ chicken wrap this time. I’ve previously had the spicy chicken and the chicken caesar and would say the Chicken Caesar is the tastiest. Big issue with Smoothie King at Nex is that it is perpetually filled with … Continue reading →

Tried Out Pie Face at Nex

Posted on May 24, 2015 by bookjunkie

Well to be honest I didn’t try the pie, but my partner did. It was a steak pie ($5.20) and he said it was a tad salty, but generally ok. Only downer to him was that we had to sit … Continue reading →

Lemon Tart & Matcha Latte at Tea Dot (Nex)

Posted on November 17, 2011 by bookjunkie

Not the best lemon tart I guess, but I think it’s pretty good. Anyone know where I can get the best lemon tarts? I prefer these to chocolate sometimes. I like my desserts sour sweet.

Wendy’s Frosty at Nex

Posted on September 14, 2011 by bookjunkie

I have always wanted to try a Frosty at Wendy’s. In the mind I always thought a Frosty was a float, but it’s just soft ice cream. I finally tried it at the Wendy’s at Nex, but my conclusion is, … Continue reading →

Freshness Burger at The Central Mall

Posted on September 1, 2011 by bookjunkie

A nice place to relax when Starbucks is bursting at the seams. I actually prefer this place to Starbucks – it’s emptier and cosier. I hope they still remain in business though, as the one at Nex has closed, probably … Continue reading →

We finally tried the Japanese pasta at Kabe no Ane, which means hole in the wall. The restaurant dates back to 1953 when it first opened in Japan. I must say I really fancied the texture of the noodles. Here’s … Continue reading →

Healthy and Vegetarian: Freshness Tofu Burger

Posted on June 7, 2011 by bookjunkie

This was surprisingly not bad. Real Silky Tofu was used, plus creamy avacado, lettuce and tomato. I would say a good healthy option, especially if you’re vegetarian. I guess this would be vegan too? Of course there are the usual … Continue reading →

Grandma’s at Nex (Serangoon Mall)

Posted on April 3, 2011 by bookjunkie

When we feel like eating local food in a restaurant setting, we always chose Grandma’s.  It’s a pretty safe bet.  Although all that coconut can make you feel very full.  The Curry Chicken and Sago with Gula Melaka are darn … Continue reading →

This Makes Me So Embarrassed: Library Stampede

Posted on March 12, 2011 by bookjunkie

This happened today and makes me ashamed to be a Singaporean (just assuming they were all local) and associated with this type of kiasu behaviour. You would think Singaporeans have never seen books before. But sometimes, how can you blame … Continue reading →

Ichiban Boshi at Nex

Posted on December 30, 2010 by bookjunkie

I was hankering for the simple kitsune udon I had at Osaka, and Ichiban Boshi has a good enough version that comes in a smaller half bowl portion (S$4.90). It’s not the healthy kind of sushi but I do love … Continue reading →
