Salted-egg-yolk-over-charcoal-waffle battle.

A lil background,

I mentioned couple times in my instagram, and A LOT of times with whoever asking me for waffle-advise that i really recommend the Charcoal Gourmet Waffle -- with salted egg yolk sauce and earl grey lavender ice cream -- from Fat Cat Ice Cream Bar. It's just amazingly pleasing in the mouth. [not to mention it's picturisque].

THE Gourmet Charcoal Waffle -- Earl-Grey Lavender ice cream

I was kinda fixed. charcoal waffle = Fat Cat.

One day, i saw this post in Instagram saying that Twenty Grammes also have charcoal waffle, and it ALSO comes with salted egg yolk, and it's better than the other one -- which later i found in comment section it's refering to Fat Cat. 

And there i was, at Twenty Grammes, trying their charcoal waffle.

[I remember vividly it was Deepavali public holiday, and i spent the whole day feeling unwell due to severe flu. Thanks to my beloved sista for dragging me there, and turns out it did make me feels a lot better. XD]

The iconic 'pourshot'
Must-take, ya?! XD

Since the sauce sengek just now, rotate a bit and take some more lah..!

the un-glam side. XD

In my [humble] opinion -- personally i think Fat Cat will still be in the first place. Not only that the waffle texture itself was just to my liking [crispy outside - moist inside] their earl grey lavender ice cream was just.... [insert bigfatloveemoji here] i tried some 3 other flavours, earl grey lavender still the BEST. [period].

As for Twenty Grammes, if you like your waffle to be more pancake-ish kind, you'll love theirs [apparently a lot of people loves theirs -- or maybe i was just the lucky customer who got my waffle not so crispy that day]. Salted egg yolk sauce was more to the rough-er side compared to it's competitor. lastly -- again, it's based on my liking -- they don't serve lavender ice cream. 

Price [charcoal waffle, 1 scoop ice cream, salted egg yolk sauce]:

- Fat Cat: S$11.50 [could be different depending on the choice of ice cream]

- Twenty Grammes: S$12.00

MARTABAAAAAKKKK...!!! [authentically indonesian]

Indonesian Comfort Sinful-treat.

Calling all Indonesians living here in Singapore as i'm writing this sweet note. For all of you who've been craving a good taste-of-home martabak, seriously try this one. Looks so similar yet SO DIFFERENT from local peanut pancakes. #YouKnowWhatImTalkinAbout and if you're looking for those happening flavours -- red velvet, oreo, kitkat, ovomaltine, etc -- you've seen your friends took pics of back at home, guess what? they have em here as well! [20cm pan size -- Share the calories, ya!?]

Be it your comfort-flavour or insta-worthy visual [which i believe is awesome as well], heads up to @pancakeboss_sg at Bugis Cube.

*ps: they even have my all-time-hometown-fav corn-cheese martabak -- which i can't find even in Jakarta -- will definitely come back for this.

네네 치킨 NENE Chicken at Bedok Mall.

HOLAAAA...!

In today's post I will talk about this korean chicken fast food chain restaurant: NENE Chiken. Yup it's like "yes..yes.. chiken". After passing by their outlet couple times at bedok mall, I finally decided to give it a try. 

After hearing their explanation to the customer in front of me, I learnt that - if you're buying a set - after you choose your set [basically the part of chicken and the portion], you get to choose your sauce, starter, sides, and drinks. <3<3

The initial plan was to try thier boneless chicken set, turns out they ran out of it, so...sure! i'll try the one with bones. [did I mention it's cheaper? Yasss.. Score!!] XD.  I choose Set Meal [2 pcs - $7.90], Freaking Hot sauce [cause there's a lil 대박 written there], Corn Salad as starters, Buffalo Sticks as sides, and Orange Juice. I did asked the cashier for recommendation, he said their fav sauces was Swicy and Freaking Hot. *smirk*

Buzzz...buzz.. and there's my food, ready to pick. 

How hot can a Freaking Hot sauce - in singapore - be, right? Or that's what I thought. As a spicy eater + Indonesian [dunno if it helps :p] i'm quite confident with my 'heat' resistance. After I took the tray, took out my cam, and was busy taking pics of my food. Then "why don't take an in-hand pics?" so i lifted the chicken with my [gloved] hand. once i put it back, and wanting to take my glove off to keep my cam before i officially start eating. that's when i lick the sauce as i'm taking off my glove. kinda anticipating just how hard it will kick me, when suddenly it went BBBAAAMMM! Turns out they're not kidding nor bluffing when they decide the name. BURNING HOT. So hot i need to scrape down the sauce, and still finish the whole cup of orange juice and salad on my first piece.

If you're wondering if it was a good meal.. it was. the chicken was quite nice in a sense that it's not dried up and even with the sauce covering you can still taste the crunchy - fried chicken - skin. The salad was nice as well...I mean it was corn and sliced crabsticks mixed with mayo.. so unless you're very unlucky, then it'll be bad. The other thing i need to mention is the Buffalo Sticks. it was aweeesssoooomeeee.... not sure if they have it here in singapore, but i think it tasted quite similar to A&W's Curly fries back in Indonesia. Like some seasoned fries which actually seasoned before they fry it [i think]? 

So overall, i liked it. Most probably will come back. To all of you spice-lover out there. You might wanna try this, and tell me what you think. 

To all Moslem friends, this one is Halal!

Here's some pictures:

The Menu
Not sure why they don't have the corn salad written there but yeah..it's there. New menu - perhaps?

Star of the night: THE CHICKEN ITSELF!!

It was ssssooo hot i can't finish it.
It was the first time i didn't finish a fried chicken because it's hot [spicy].
