Thanks to wei zhi for her recommendation of sourhunk .

Managed to check out this bakery specialising in sourdough loaves .

They have both softer kinds and crustier kinds - so good for the whole family .

Moist sourdough that had a good spring !

For all your sourdough lovers in the west .

Seafood heaven in a piquant garlicky sauce finished with a touch of buttery goodness.

Such value for money Pastas with a touch of class 🥰

I call this a volcano of lasagne - just look at that avalanche of homemade tomato sauce and tender lasagne sheets with an explosion of cheese .

So very very very fresh and well executed .

One of the best lasagnes I have tasted .

The name of the shop is literally satay. bbq chicken wing 😝 how creative .

Nevermind it’s name - the Satays were so well done - one of the best we have had in a long time.
It has that charredness and is not too sweet .

The peanut sauce is also piquant and Chunky and not too sweet .

I like the ketupat which is really aromatic and well made .

10/10.

Best of all - no queue .

G&B bistro
Homemade italian
Alexandra central mall ( next to ikea )
Level 1

I have tasted enough pizzas and have tasted nice ones from “popular “ places but none has stolen my heart as the ones from G&B bistro .

Homemade , sincere and honest Italian food that is authentic . While the pizza was huge ( and amazingly affordable food court prices ) - I couldn’t have enough of it and so did my partner. We savoured till the last piece and didn’t feel stuffed .

For those of you whom have tasted “ homemade italian “ at the old golden shoe food court many years back - the stall that did popular anti pasti and pasta dishes , you would be glad that they have now their own space to serve up an expanded menu.

Well balanced homemade pizza sauce , hand stretched dough with a good balance of crisp ones and chewiness , generous cheese and generous toppings .

Amazing .

For those of you whom remember this brand called homemade Italian situated at the old golden shoe food court .

So glad I manage to reunite with the owner at Alexandra central ( next to ikea ).

I rarely pay for pastas outside but her mushroom Arrabiata I gladly pay . The sauce is homemade from scratch , a guarded Italian recipe - a good balance of tart , savoury and a tinge of sweet . It sticks to the pasta for dear life so not some sloppy , wet and dilute type of sauce. The pasta is cooked perfect to al dente . Entirely faultless and completely unexpected from a bistro .

They also do a very good homemade pesto cream sauce for those of you pesto fans 🥰.

Food court prices at hotel quality .

Truly authentic Hk style noodles.

The high quality noodles were light and springy - like those you get in HK restaurants and the handmade dumplings were fresh and filled with fresh prawn and pork ( with no porky smell).

One do the few places that uses kai Lan - so it’s quite a nice change .

Slap on some of their sambal chilli and some of their piquant chicken rice look a like chilli which is a little sweet and sour -

Really lucky to find lucky Poh 😝!

Banana cake lovers alert 🚨

Not easy to come across a good banana sponge that is light and fluffy , not too sweet and natural tasting ( without that yucky banana essence ) or bicarbonate taste.

So glad to chance upon the banana cake from emerald bakery at 325 Clementi Avenue 5.
It fulfils all the ticks in a good banana cake .

Not too sure about the craze with Hiap Joo-
I found the bicarbonate taste too strong - didn’t quite suit my palate 🤣.

The best part is that these are so affordable too !
At a dollar :)

Anyone on a sourdough craze ?

Missing that cup of cappuccino .

Anyone of your coffee - deprived too ?

To my disappointment after all the effort of getting there -
a little tough and dry .

Even when eaten fresh on the same day .

Not the best rice but you won’t be disappointed with freshly fried wings and a pretty good chilli .
