The Tiramisu Hero
























This was quite some time ago, back in November 2014, lol! I heard about The Tiramisu Hero from a magazine (few years back haha!) and i love how they serve the tiramisu in a cute little jar. I first tried their tiramisu at one of the boutiques along Haji Lane and that was when they were still doing online ordering without a physical store/cafe. Decided to try out this place when i know they opened a physical cafe at Jalan Besar, about 10 mins walk from Lavender mrt!

Fell in love with the decor immediately when we entered the cafe, the interior design is one of the cutest i have ever seen! The walls and ceilings are full with the illustrations of Sir Antonio, the mascot of The Tiramisu Hero and there's even a giant Sir Antonio head on the wall for you to take picture, lol! And also i really love the super cute illustrated menu with the doodles of food and drinks..omg!

For the food, we ordered honey glazed wings ($7.90), aglio olio ($14.90) and thai spicy chicken mini pizza ($10.80) to share. You can totally give the wings a miss, aglio olio was pretty decent, not very fantastic and the portion is rather small but the mini pizza was really nice! On my 2nd visit to the cafe, i tried their bangers with mash potatoes and fresh pasta with truffle & sage. The bangers are not bad but the pasta has this very (super!) bitter taste with it, perhaps it's the sage. Checked with the service staff and according to them, it was the truffle that make the dish so bitter..hmm..ok..lol!

Of course we have to order their signature tiramisu for dessert after our meal, lol! We had a hard time choosing the flavour but we chose the original in the end hahaha! We ordered a dark chocolate lava cake ($12) to share as well. The tiramisu was good, not the best that i have tried but i really love how they package the tiramisu in the jar..hehe! Decided to bring back the jar and the service staff actually offered to give me a clean empty jar, yay!

Overall, i think it's worth a visit though the food there was hit or miss. On a side note, eva's coordinate on that day was coincidentally/perfectly matching with Sir Antonio..haha!!

Yari  Ika Teriyaki - Grilled Seasoned Squid with Sweet Sauce ($8.90)



I can't believe it took me so long to visit this place despite how near it is from where I stay. To be honest, I have walked past it so many times but I never really take notice of this place till I read some good reviews online #powerofinternet It's located outside of Bugis Junction, beside Fish n Co., at the less crowded end so I guess not many people know about this place. This place is truly a hidden gem and i'm really glad we decided to try this out on last Fri night..hehe!

Sumire is an established  yakitori restaurant in Tokyo with around 15 outlets, serving a wide range of good quality food such as yakitori, agemono, udon, ramen, rice, etc. with affordable price. The price of the food here is surprisingly affordable and I think this is by far the best yakitori that I have ever eaten in sg..haha!

As you can see above, we ordered quite a lot for 2 pax but we just feel like trying everything on the menu. The Bakudan Korokke is the main reason that I want to try sumire..lol! It's a giant potato croquette with a surprise inside! THERE'S AN EGG INSIDE OMG and the egg yolk oozed out when we cut open the potato croquette..omg this has got to be my favorite dish at sumire!! MUST TRY!!! The croquette is crispy at the outside and filled with creamy mashed potato and of course the egg complement the dish perfectly. As a tamago lover, I have to order the tamagoyaki with mentai cheese and it certainly didn't disappoint me, thumbs up~

For the yakitori, we ordered Gyu Kushi with Black Pepper, Enoki Bacon and Cheese Tsukune. My favorite is definitely the Cheese Tsukune! Their tsukune comes in 2 sizes which are 'men' and 'female'. Apparently the 'men' version consists of 2 meatballs with bigger size whereas the 'female' version consists of 3 smaller meatballs. We ordered the 'men' size anyway..lol! And not forgetting the grilled squid which is super affordable in our opinion!!

We ordered a sparkling sake and calamansi whiskey to share and the total bill came to about S$74 with 7 food items and 2 alcoholic drinks. This place definitely serve good quality food with reasonable price and the service is really good too. So glad that Carol was really steady and ok with whatever I suggested to order hahahaha! Awesome dinner with awesome company definitely made my day! :)

Squid Ink Rice - $28
prawns, crispy baby squids, fried basil, egg yolk 

Cream of Ebiko Angel Hair Pasta - $27

I just realised I didn't blog about this amazing Kilo at Pact which i visited long ago, lol! Have been eating too much good food with my certified foodie friend, lol! Anyway, we went to the one at Kampong Bugis, heard that there's one at Orchard Central too but im not too sure if they offer the same menu. We ordered the wasabi tuna tartare, squid ink rice and cream of ebiko pasta to share. I can't decide which item is the star of the meal because everything was just simply amazing. It was my first time trying the tuna tartare and i was so amazed that the combination of wasabi and avocada can work so well! Just can't stop eating it and we wiped it clean before the mains were served, hehe! Look at the beautiful egg yolk on the squid ink rice!! I was so reluctant to burst the egg yolk..haha!! I am not very good in describing the food but I can ensure you both the squid ink rice and ebiko pasta taste really good! The food is equally awesome as the presentation, worth every penny and calories, lol!

This outlet is an al fresco concept restaurant and they only offer dinner from Mon to Sat, reservation is strongly encouraged..lol!
