Kheng Fatt Beef Noodles 01-89



Beef & Beef Ball Noodles $4

ieat reviews here

Food/Beverage 7.5
Yes, indeed it is better to order the dry version as the dry version will have more kick from the sticky thick gravy that covers the noodles plus it comes along with the soup which is pretty good!
Was expecting the chili with shrimp sauce to taste good but disappointment.
Overall, the noodles was good!


Haji Kadir Food Chains Pte Ltd B1-15



Nasi Goreng $3.50


Read somewhere that the Nasi Goreng here is good, special, something like chinese fried rice except much better & decided to give it a shot.
Experience was horrible.
After ordering, in less than 1 min, uncle told me its done and he just simply pass 1 packet to me.
i was like "what? is this someone else's packet or wrong order?"
he says no, rice very fast.
"right. anyway i do not want that packet and im eating here."
he says okay. hold on, very fast.
Food/Beverage 5.5
The nasi was cold, so i supposed he ignored me.
Simply put the packet into plate & passed it to me.
Anyway the Nasi Goreng was NORMAL.
nothing special.

Food/Beverage 5.5
this was what was ordered:
1. Tomato & Mushroom Bruschetta
The Bruschetta were surprisingly nice. Mushroom & tomato were a good combi with the crispy bread. Cheap too! $2 for Tomato Brus.
2. Pasta Marinara $6.50
The House Special Pasta Marinara was.. .. ..very watery..
Couldn't really taste the tomato sauce HOWEVER the vongoles inside are in abundance & fresh too. That did make up the flaw.
3. Penne Carbonara $5
Penne Carbonara was dry and the carbonara taste was lacking. Parmesan cheese is actually required to have the cheesy taste.

coffee shop, what do you expect?

Value 5
I do not mind paying more for good food and when I do, good food is expected. In this case, the value isn't there.

Service 6
The 3 guys there were pretty friendly though. Make recommendations to what should be tried for the review.

Had the Chicken Sausage Pizza. When it was served, my friends and I went "WHOA". this is really a thin pizza and I heart thin pizzas!Pizzas in my opinion should be thin. Ingredients & base should go hand in hand together. None should cover the taste of another.The crust is really crispy, however the taste isn't strong enough.There is definitely room for improvement =)

authentic Italian pizza 8 inch at ONLY $6 with no GST no service charge? what are you people waiting for? But do know that thin pizzas can't really fill up stomach, eat it as snack =)

Service 9
A pretty friendly chef there. Having no idea what to order, I simply asked the young chef to whip up something he thinks is good enough for me to write a review.

Yes! I definitely do agree with SCdreamer! this grass jelly is the best that I have eaten so far!
"The texture is chewy and stretchy which will resist being taken apart. Its also very slippery and smooth" quoted from SCdreamer.

ONE MORE BOWL PLEASE!!! =)

$1.30 for a bowl w/o additional toppings which helps in cooling down is CHEAP and definitely worth the $$$

Food/Beverage 8.5
My friends and i had the set for indivdual comes with chocolate fondue, assortment of fruits (strawberries, grapes, honeydew, bananas), mashmellow, waffles and a scoop of ice cream.
The Belgian waffles were good! Sweet enough, crispy enough, addictive!
Even one of my friends who doesn't eat waffles agree and actually ate!
The fruits were plentiful too. Honeydew however doesn't seems to go along well with the chocolate.
Their ice cream flavors selection though only have 6 but it is enough to let you start scratching your hair.
The hazelnut, green tea, cheesecake, bananas all seemed very yummy.
In the end i picked banana flavor because their banana is make specially using real bananas flesh.
how was the taste? SUPERB!!!!

this experience at Trapizza has been quite some time ago and so i cant really remember what pasta & pizza have been ordered.
i couldn't really remember the pasta taste but it was good.
The pizza left a deep impression though. Being the traditional Italian type, it was a flatbread one, cooked in a wood fired oven. It was good! The ingredients - cheese, ham, pineapples were generous. Ingredients together with the crust is great!!

Ambience 8
Being an alfresco outlet on the beach, the ambience is good with the sea and the breeze!

Value 6
forgot how much was the total bill, but it's the usual cafe price.

Service 7.5
the service i remember was pretty good. the waitresses there were pretty attentive.

Fried Sweet Potato Dumpling Stall 76



Fried Red Bean

Fried Sweet Potato Dumpling


Food/Beverage 5.5
Variety of selections are available and as a red bean lover, Fried Red Bean is a must try.
Fried Sweet Potato Dumpling is they are famous for and therefore it’s a must too.
Overall the taste is pretty normal. It wont get you go 'WHOA, this is good!' but probably it will get you go 'WHOA, this is Very Very oily' instead.

Prima Deli Cakes

Mango Peach Yogurt Mousse


Peach & Longan Delight


Food / Beverage 8
The Mango Yogurt Peach Mousse cake and the Peach & Longan cake both taste excellent!
And indeed as the description has claimed "Fluffy vanilla sponge cake loaded with longan bits and topped with bountiful servings of peaches and longans"
"Deliciously light and healthy non-fat mango yoghurt blended with vanilla mousse within layers of vanilla sponge and with bountiful servings of peaches"

What can i say?
Prima Deli really has good cakes and the variety available for selections are PLENTIFUL!
Prices are affordable too.
