I wish for a rich & good man

I love swiss rolls. Simply because of its simplicity.

I first tasted Rich & Good's kaya swiss rolls 8 years back when a client of my ex-company bought them for us whenever he passed by the area. I soon left the company and left the tasty memory behind.

Thanks to T who let me relish the goodness of the rich and creamy cake again on my birthday. :)



Instead of the regular fat and short rolls you can get from your neighbourhood bakery, these are long and thin.



What you get for $10 is a long roll of super soft and moist cake filled with rich fillings that are not too creamy or sweet.



My favourite is coffee flavour but kaya and durian are highly recommended. You can actually taste chunks of durian flesh in it. Other flavours include chocolate, mango, strawberry and blueberry.

Thanks M for the Tiramisu from Obolo. :)

a prime dinner

I've tried Astons Specialties but dinner at Astons Prime was a totally different experience. All thanks to CL for the delightful birthday treat. :)

Astons Prime serves more premium cuts of meat. Of course, there's a price to pay but still, both restaurants offer great value.

I really enjoyed the Deep Fried Oysters after having too many(although not even half of what M had) raw ones at The Line. The wasabi mayonaise sauce complimented the starter very well.



I am no expert when it comes to steaks and can't even recall the names! But I do remember it's supposed to be veal and cost about $30. Served with buttered mushrooms and mashed potatoes, I like the feeling when my steak is served sizzling on the hotplate.



However, we later realized the beef got overcooked after awhile even when it was cushioned by the onions.



This slab of meat(about $20) was soaked in red wine before it was cooked. I can't even remember the portion but it was just enough for me.



The meat was very tender and juicy.



What's red meat without red wine? ;)



There's no ambience and not an ideal place for a romantic dinner. But there's also no service or GST charges. In short, you are only paying for quality food.

I'll definitely recommend Astons Prime to MM, a meat lover.

Top of The Line

Sorry for the absence. No, I haven't starved to death. My appetite was poor for the past weeks. Things wasn't smooth sailing and I was sick. Naturally, I was in in no mood to blog. But don't worry for the hungry girl is back! :D

Firstly, I'd like to thank my family, friends and K for all the wonderful birthday treats last month.

Top of the line got to be The Line at Shangri-La Hotel. With over 16 culinary stations, the international buffet spread was impressive! However, buffet at The Line is not just about quantity and eat-all-you-can. It is all about quality. It feels like fine dining less the uneasiness.

These huge and succulent oysters were very fresh.



This was like the size of 2 oysters!



Sashimi was a must-have too.



The cold crabs and prawns were very sweet unlike those I've tasted at other buffets.

Roast Beef


Something I usually won't eat at a buffet, local fare. But I didn't know why, the laksa looked really tempting and I had to give it a try. It'd be perfect with cockles though.



By the time we were done with the mains, there wasn't much time or space for desserts.

My favourite Tiramisu!


Thanks M for such a lavish treat. :)
