Sin Yuan 沁园茶餐室 @ Sungai Rengit

Last Sunday we had our breakfast at Sin Yuan coffee shop when we first reached Sungai Rengit, as Good luck seafood had not opened yet by 10.30am.
There were 4 food stalls in this coffee shop, HK style Chee cheong fun (港式猪肠粉), wanton mee (叉烧云吞面), Chinese crispy siew yoke (烧肉烧鸡饭), Lor mee & mee hoon kueh, (卤面&面粉粿), We tried Cheong fun, wanton mee and Siew yoke/roasted chicken, very nice for all,肠粉是先点现蒸的,好好味,可惜忘记拍照了。烧肉无敌赞,怎一句好吃可以形容!
Siew yoke (1pax) + Roasted/white chicken (1pax), RM14, (4.8/5)

Good Luck Seafood @ Sungai Rengit

Sungai Rengit 泗湾岛 is essentially a collection of fishing villages in southeastern Johor, it is known for its seafood especially lobsters. It's located 18km away from Pengerang Terminal, Pengerang can be reached from Singapore by boat from Changi Village ferry terminal. The distance is just suitable for Cycling day tours. and therefore you can see groups of cyclist during weekends nowadays. This is my 3rd or 4th cycling trip to Sungai Rengit.

Bum boat (without aircon) is S$11/pax + S$2/bicycle
Bum boat (aircon) price is S$13/pax + S$2/bicycle
Price is quoted in SGD both ways. I got aircon boats both ways. Speed depends on the direction of the tide, it took 30min from SG to Pengerang in the morning, and 45min back in the afternoon.
Lobster was RM18/100g, though I prefer smaller lobsters, yesterday's lobsters size were quite big, about 700g each.

Steamed Lobster (4/5)
 Salted egg Lobster (3.8/5)
Very little salted egg sauce, could not tell the difference between buttered and salted egg lobsters.

Butter Lobster, (3.8/5)
I did not expected a dry version butter lobster, thought there should be butter sauce on it, could not taste butter flavor, but lobster was fresh and good.

We were shocked when seeing the bill, RM412 for 3 lobsters, when we placed order, we asked for 3 small size lobsters about 500g each, but on the bill it stated as 800g each, though the lobsters were indeed big, but was 800g the actual weight? and this was just not as what had been agreed earlier on. very unhappy experience in Good Luck Seafood restaurant. We 've been visiting this restaurant many times because it used to be value for money, and the price became higher and higher every time, and service dropped as well.

Pies & Coffee @ Tanjong Katong Rd

This is my first time step into Pies & coffee @ Tanjong Katong road, it was opened around Sep 2012, replacing the previous "Java Kitchen". This area change shop owners frequently and only a few of them are doing well and able to survive.
I ordered a slice of New york Cheesecake, $7.80++ was comparatively pricy, but it came with a big slice.
The cake was so dense and smooth with a slight stickiness in texture, cheese was intense, and sweetness was just nice until the last bite.
Their signature pie on posters looks promising too, and I'm thinking of giving it a try in my next visit, together with this NY cheesecake again! =) Value wise, I feel this is still quite expensive though I like it a lot, as Coffee Bean serves good quality cheesecake at a better price.

Chezcake Bistro @ Joo Chiat Rd

Chezcake & Bistro is a homely and cozy cafe located on Joo Chiat Road. Nice ambiance to chill and spend a lazy afternoon. No GST but 10% service charge applies for dine-in. Service was good, but only 1 person serving 4 tables when I was there this afternoon.
I tried their Rum & Raisin Cheesecake. Rum was evident, amount of raisins were just nice. However, the texture of the cake was like steamed egg, wasn’t creamy and dense enough for a cheese cake.

Raisin Cheese Cake, $6.00, (4.2/5)
A very smooth cheese cake in big portion, but it is a bit sweet to finish the whole slice.
Buster's Weekly Cheesecake, $5.80, (3.5/5)
The cheesecake is good, smooth and not too sweet, but I expected the blackcurrant layer to be in jelly form, but the texture and sweetness was really like jam, and thus jam on top was overpowering and too sweet for me.

Lion Fried Hokkien Mee @ Tampines Ave 9

Lion frieed hokkien mee was recently relocated to Tampines Ave 9, near Tampines Greenvale area, the owner previously opened his stall in a coffee shop around Jalan Besar Area. When contract ended, he looked for this 24hrs coffee shop which the rental is relatively cheaper, as he's sharing the same stall with a Bee hoon seller in morning shift. I was a fan of his Hokkien Mee since Jalan Besar stall time.

Blackball 黑丸嫩仙草 @ Katong I12

Blackball is a grass jelly dessert chain from Taiwan, with 6 outlets opened in Singapore now.
Black ball menu
Blackball Signature (Hot) / 招牌大黑丸 (烧) S$4.90 (4.5/5)
Blackball Signature is an ensemble of  仙草 and 6 signature toppings: 芋Q,芋圆,地瓜圆,金薯,红豆,珍珠,(grass jelly, chewy sweet potato / taro balls, red bean, and black pearls). For the grass jelly, you can choose to have it hot (liquid grass jelly) / warm / cold / icy (ice kachang).
"Blackball Signature" does not allow changes in toppings, you may only omit some toppings out of the 6. If you prefer to customize you own bowl, you can go for their "mix and match" with 4 toppings to available, same price at S$4.90. But no sugar level to choose for bowled desserts.
I prefer the Hot version, which the grass jelly is in liquid form, but not nice to appear in photo, as all the toppings sink to the bottom. 

Below is a photo taken by blogger AromaCookery, this is the Blackball Signature - cold version with visible toppings.

En Japanese Dining Bar @ PARCO Marina Bay

Today I went to En Japanese Dining bar @ PARCO Marina Bay for lunch with My colleagues, as I heard from them that the Monster Curry is worth trying, and it was really very good and value for money!
Cheese Pork Katsu Curry, S$13.00, (4.5/5)
This is really a huge plate, the fork is in standard size. The Red color sauce is chilly sauce, which you need to mix with the curry gravy, spicy choice for this amount: 5 flame (monster hot), which is very good to me.

IKOI @ Hotel Miramar

I went to IKOI Japanese restaurant for a buffet dinner last night. I was not able to get a table in my first visit, Ikoi was full house at around 8pm on a weekday, so this time round I made reservation. I feel patrons can get a table by walk-in from 9pm onwards.
S$38++ / adult for dinner on weekday is value for money. Food came with good quality and in small portions, which is just the right size for buffet. But I realized there were not enough of waitress during peak hour, so patrons need some patience.
