Lau Pa Sat or Telok Ayer Market, holds a very special meaning for most Singaporeans. The distinctive clock tower on top, the unique, octagonal and intricate roof structure of the building. Not to mention the many mouth-watering food which showcase a wide variety of our Singapore culture.
Having said all that, i’m didn’t frequent Lau Pa Sat often, why you asked, since i praised the place to the sky. Well, i felt that it’s more like a tourist attraction kind of place rather than a food centre to me. And because of the tourist crowd and the over-hype in the place, prices are obviously much higher than other places. Therefore even i was working in the vicinity last time, but i rather go to other places for lunch.

Ever since i was raving about my dim sum a while ago, i’m not one who rest on one’s laurel. Wah Lok, Royal China, Zhou’s Kitchen, and of course many more to come! But after reflecting on my past posts, i only realised that i’ve been neglecting my other love, i’m refering to cakes and desserts of course.
A look back, the last time i’ve a decent piece of cake was probably way back during July at Caffe Beviamo, and Eden. Now now, that won’t do right, especially for a cake lover like me. I know i know, i have been saying for ages since stone-age that i want to go to Canele, but when’s that post gonna come out you ask?

Having visited Absolute Haven before, I shall skip the niceties and move on to the food. Do look at my review during my previous visit to find out more about Absolute Haven (AH). I decided on AH for lunch on that particular day since my cousins have budget concerns, and i happened to remember about AH weekly set lunch promotion. A nice fit.

Char siew and roast pork rank very highly among the parts of the pork that i love to eat. While there are people who doesn’t like char siew as they got “porky” after-taste, i simply adore it. Sinful as they may sound to you, you are totally missing out! My advice to those who feared for their coronary vessels after eating fatty char siew? Do more exercise dude!
There are different variations to char siew, the lean and the fatty one. Personally i felt that char siew cannot be too lean, the portion of fatty to lean meat must be just right. With some bites of fatty meat in between, there’s the melt-in-your-mouth effect!

What determine whether a dish is good? There are several factors, the freshness of the ingredients itself, the skill of the chef, and of course the sauces that are used in cooking the food. Sauces are vital to the overall taste of the dish, in simple terms, they helped to “colour up” and enhanced the food.
What will you say if chili crabs are served without the thick and spicy gravy sauce, or how about your burger without any mayo sauce? These are some simple examples, but i’m sure you got the idea. Village Wok Restaurant is a showroom for The Village Wok sauce room. Their core business is actually being a sauce distributor, and the restaurant itself is the place for their customers to sample the sauces.

Ever since a friend introduced me to Indguly vanilla cream sandwich cookie, i’m absolutely hooked to it! An indulgence, biting on the lightly sweetened and exquisite vanilla cream sandwiched between delicate Langue de chat cookies.

To all share-readers of ladyironchef
I have updated the list of restaurants that I’m interested in, you can view it here, or simply click on “Gourmet Roll” tab at the top of the page! It has been a long time since i last updated my list, and hopefully it will make it easier to find the reviews.
For the benefits of new friends to ladyironchef, all the reviews are classified under different categories on the right side of the page. For example to find food reviews on places that are located at Orchard area, find the Orchard category. Alternatively you can also search using the different kind of cuisines, like Chinese, Western.
Or if you do not know what to eat. clicking on the “What shall i savour next?” does bring out some surprises!
Cheers
Brad
