BENTEN CAFÉ | Japanese Cuisine


    Caesar Salad

    Seaweed Carbonara with Bacon

    Salmon Curry Rice 

   Salmon Potato Cheese

   
Chocolate Pudding parfait with vanilla soft serve below, strawberries, cornflakes, whipped cream and fudge
 

 Strawberry Parfait with Cheese cake, purée, soft serve, cornflakes, whipped cream!

       
Matcha parfait, with waffle stick, strawberry, red beans, soft serve, whipped cream.

Hcad a great meal at a Japanese Restaurant with the love ones before catching a movie "The great Gatsby" 

For the starter we got Caesar salad which i feel is average, the vegetables were watery so the taste got somehow affected, and the salmon potato cheese was served on a hot plate, food kept hot, I mean really hot, till the last bite, it's actually just French fries at the bottom, with salmon fish slices and awesome cheese topping.

Mains:
The salmon curry rice was super delicious, same goes for this dish, up to the last spoon, the rice and curry was still pipping hot. Worth getting this, the curry is great, like the other curries, but I think I tried better ones :) worth the try though. 

Followed by, seaweed carbonara, wow this is light, not the average thick ones we get elsewhere, so not necessarily we will start getting sick of it after a few bites! :) I think the curry rice would be the best dish among all that we have tried, based on my own opinion! 

Desserts time! of course we had to try the desserts, the artificial desserts display were too good to resist. 

We ordered 3 parfaits! Chocolate pudding, strawberry cheese cake and matcha. whee blissful meal. Everything about the dessert is great great great. free feel to just order, the vanilla soft serve thing at the bottom is really soft and yum. 

Nice place for dinner, but it can be quite noisy and disrupting because it is an open area so many other shoppers will be walking pass you and looking at your food.

EVERYTHING WITH FRIES

HEY!!!


I foresee that the food posts are going to be more and more frequently shown now, especially since now I have free time on hand to blog as well as try new food with my food buddies. Some post may not be recent, it may just be a simple food review of a cafe/restaurant/food I had tried about I would like to talk about and recommend you guys to try it :) Yummy and good food needs to be shared!



 Well, this post would be on EVERYTHING WITH FRIES, I think many of you would have tried it before, I have not tried it so I decided to go with one of my girlfriends who hasn't tried it too, she had the Battered Fish Sandwich and I got the Char-grilled Char Siew. 


For the starter, both of us got the one-egg special soup which taste really good, I am impressed that it is only made using 1 egg, how is it even possible wow, the soup was light, salty and flavourful, I love the egg crumbs on top, really added texture to the soup, a must-try.




The one egg soup!
(House special made just using ONE egg)



 Char-grilled Char Siew
(Handrolled Por Belly roulade, char-grilled with garlic sauce)



Battered Fish Sandwich 
(Battered white fish, handmade mushroom cheese sauce)


Honestly, I am not a meat lover but I like pork belly, like from those hawker stalls, pork belly rice, hence I decided to be go ahead and ordered the pork belly roulade


The first few bites were heavenly, the fat from the pork belly is juicy and all, it's the kind that melts in your mouth, the meat is succulent, but being a person who does not really like meat, this is good enough to make me like it, portion is huge, because I couldn't finish it :( I didn't finish the shoe-string fries as well (we both got the herbs topping).


My friend got the fish sandwich, the batter is crispy and inside the white flesh is super soft, might consider getting the white fish next time if I do go back.

Consider going there with your friends, for a simple gathering, oh and yes they do have desserts, like cupcakes, cakes etc, never got to try as it was getting late & we were both stuffed.

Latest Macdonald's Hype.

The beginning of food posts starts now!!

I'm pretty sure most of you all there already saw the Macs advertisement on the new red peri scorcher burger that is competing with the all-time favourite Macspicy (my favourite as well), after the Macspicy beat the Pepper Flamer burger, it has a new competitor.


Here's how it looks like, I was trying it for the first time, and decided to go for a double, it was great, the battered chicken thigh was awesome, tasty and crispy, bursting with flavour and oil oozing out. The sauce was a tad too tangy/sour for my liking, it was good nevertheless, worth a try, although it is more of a cripsy chicken burger with a little spicy and sour sauce, the bread was fine :) GO TRY YOURS NOW!

My personal opinion & verdict: 7/10

Macspicy is still my top personal favourite from Macdonald's.

IIP

I believe God has better plans for me.


I havent got any calls yet and my friends, most of them, already secured themselves a job!
Im happy for them yet sad & stressed that I am not selected or called up for anything at all.                    
I feel that sometimes may be God has something better for me and prepared ahead for me.


So I should not think too much right? I hear or find out news about classmates and friends just being called up to schedule an interview, called up to inform them that they are selected, or telling them that they want them to come down to sign contracts.


I have faith in my God and I think perhaps, something else bigger is waiting for me :) I should exercise patience, and practice faith hehehehheh!


Sad is sad but I put on my yellow hat and think positively! :D

Movie day!



Yay, I will be having a 5 day off! Wednesday till Sunday, and then it is back to school on Monday.


Today I had mock interview at school. Had to do the necessary make up + outfit. It went quite okay.


After that headed to tbp, had Subway for late lunch & bought Tickets for the "Dark Shadows", Johnny Depp! It was a nice show, a little draggy actually, but overall quite good!


Met Baby and his parents fetched all of us to his grandma's place, rested for a while, charged my hp and Daddy came to pick me, & dropped baby to tbp! :D


Felt nice to have spent quality time with SIL today! <3
