Dinner Gathering at Leng Saap Golden Mile Tower

It has been awhile since I last met my friends, hence we decided to call for a dinner meetup amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. We had our dinner date set at Leng Saap.

Leng Saap is a Thai eatery located at the basement of Golden Mile Tower. Leng Saap in Thai means Spicy Pork Spine Soup which is also the signature dish for this eatery. Leng Saap can also be found at Rot Fai Market in Bangkok. Talking about this makes me miss going to Bangkok.

I ordered Homemade Thai Milk Tea ($2.67) where the sweetness was just nice for me. Thai Milk Tea is always a must order for me whenever I see it in the menu, I love the signature strong brew milk tea taste.

This is size L version of Pork Spine Soup ($26.75) which is suitable for 3 pax, this is Thailand’s version of Bak Ku Teh. For spice level, we opt for medium. The size range from size M - 2pax ($19.26) to XXL - 7 to 8 pax ($58.85).

The pork spines were stacked up forming a mountain, the dish definitely stolen the limelight when served.

The clear soup looked like it will not pose any threat but when we have our first sip, we could feel the heat from the soup that will leave a sensation lingered at our throat. The subsequent sips of the soup got us hooked with the rich flavour. 

The pork spine was soaked with the broth, making it tasted fragrant and not too hard, where the meat can be easily tear off with the fork. 

Fried Prawns with Garlic. The fresh prawns were succulent.

My favourite was Fried Shrimp Pancake ($12.84). The shrimp filling was encased in a crispy skin, making it a little crunchy when bite. 

I love the crispy exterior of the Fried Shrimp Pancake and dipping it with the chilli sauce which gave a sweet and hot flavour to the dish. 

The Kang Kong on the other hand was crunchy and the spice level was not too overwhelming. It was stir fried together with chilli padi and garlic.

It was a great dining experience at Leng Saap with delicious food and friendly staff serving us, we paid about $22 per pax. The combination of aromatic broth and generous portion of pork spine was just so comforting to have after a long day at work, totally recommended to have with a group of friends. 

Happenings in March - Cajun on Wheels + Gong Cha Strawberry Creme Brulee

Tuesday 3/3/20

It has been a such a long time since I last dine out and we decided to head out to Plaza Singapura for lunch at Cajun on Wheels. It was my first time trying out this halal Louisiana-style seafood restaurant.

The restaurant has a simple and casual ambience that is suitable for family, solo diners or small group dining. There is no service charge collected at Cajun on Wheels, hence we will need to go to the counter to order and collect our food. This is perfectly fine for us.

I had Fish & Chips ($10.90) where the fried fish was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The fries on the other hand was just normal. The portion may looked very little but after finishing the whole plate, I was already 3/4 full.

I had Ice Milo to go with the meal.

We also add on Lobster Bisque which was thick and rich. Om the first sip, it tasted a little weird but after getting used to the taste, it started to become better.

Thursday 5/3/20

Finally meet up with the girls again which I have not been for 1-2 months and I received some gifts from my girls.

Meryl got me a bottle of Swisse Ultiboost Vitamin D capsule which support strong, healthy bones and teeth, calcium absorption and immune health. Just something I am lacking of, thanks Meryl for the thoughtful gift.

GF just came back from her Hokkaido trip and she got me some snacks and souvenirs. She also gave me a plushie which she got it when playing the claw machine in JB. Thanks for thinking of me during your trip.

Friday 6/3/20

T.G.I.F. 

I went over to Funan Mall to meet GF and CK for dinner and drink gathering.

We had our dinner at Hawker Chan, a Michelin-star restaurant famous for their delicious soy sauce chicken rice and roast pork. This is the cheapest Michelin-star food that I ever tried, I had the signature Soya Sauce Chicken Rice at $5. It was nice and tummy filling.

After the dinner, we went over to Gong Cha for a drink.

The 3 of us got Gong Cha Strawberry Creme Brulee at $4.80, the latest creation of Gong Ca. The drink has everything I desire, at the bottom was strawberry milk with mini strawberry chunk, milk filling the middle portion, creme brulee milk foam at the top and end with caramelized layer.

We opt for 0% sugar level as the staff told us that the drink was already sweet in nature. It is hard not to fall in love with this drink, this has become my favourite drink from Gong Cha.

Saturday 21/3/20

I woke up early in the morning to join GF for the celebration of Women of Courage Asia first anniversary held at Genius Central.

We were treated to some canape at the event. 

Through this event, I learnt that Women of Courage Asia is a women's community coming together to share their life stories/experiences, knowledge inspiring & empowering women to take courage to live out our dreams and be the best version of ourselves! 

Thanks Vivien sis for getting us the box of muffins. It was just perfect for my lunch, the muffin was fluffy and buttery, bring a sweet aroma when consumed. 

To ensure that I have sufficient intake of vitamin during this period, I had Redoxon Boost and Go.

It provides everyday immune support and antioxidant protection on-the-go with fruity taste, refreshing active micro-pellets that melts in your mouth! no water is needed! 

That's all for sharing today. Good night.

Good Bites Healthy Bowls Cafe at Bishan Sports Hall

Tucked in the north away from the hustle and bustle town area is Good Bites, Healthy Bowls Cafe that is located at Bishan Sports Hall, 10 minutes walk from Bishan Station. It is a convenient dining place for the residents who are looking for a comfortable setting and healthy food after their workout.

Bishan Sports Hall level 3 is home to this Instragrammable exterior looking cafe and healthy serving of food. We were attracted by the fairy lights that lightened up the pathway, leading us to the cafe.

Good Bites also makes a good location for holding private events with the cafe seats up to 60 pax and can accommodate up to 80 pax.

As we are all becoming more health conscious, Good Bites aim to bring more meal options to meet our demand for healthy eating. From homemade soups, healthy bowls to customisable salads, you can find them here in Good Bites.

Good Bites is under Citrus Group, same branding as Citrus By The Pool. One of the main difference between the two brands is the introduction of healthy bowls at Good Bites.

Thanks GF for the photo.

Good Bites is a great place for a dinner gathering with friends. I always love gathering with the girls because we have endless topic to chat about, especially enjoyable with the company of delicious food.

Good Bites has a relaxing ambience with wide selection of food and drinks. From healthy bowls, to pasta to mains, there will definitely be something to capture your interest.

Both Tracy and GF went for refreshing Ice Tea, they had Minty Green Tea with Honey ($3.90) and Lychee Tea ($5.50).

Meryl and I on the other hand opt for the Mighty Milkshakes. I had Cookie Crush ($9.90) while Meryl had Strawberry Gem ($8.90). It comes in a mega size and mix the whipped cream with the milkshake to create a creamy mouthful.

Cookies 'n' Cream ice-cream was blended with low-fat milk and Oreo cookies, toppled with whipped cream and Oreo cookies. Just one sip and I could taste the richness of Cookie Crush milkshake with a creamy finish. The milkshake was overall well flavoured. 

Currently, Good Bites has 3 healthy bowls for selection.

The first healthy bowl we tried was Baked Salmon Bowl ($15.00) which consists of baked salmon, soba noodles, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, hard-boiled egg and white sesame seed. 

The Baked Salmon Bowl makes a well-balanced healthy meal with the right amount of carbohydrates and proteins that will please our taste buds. The baked salmon with charred skin was tender and the flesh was easily cut. 

Next was Roasted Chicken Bowl ($15.00). The bowl was filled with herbs and citrus roasted chicken, brown rice, grilled cherry tomatoes, sauteed mushroom, broccoli, hard-boiled egg and multi-grain tortilla chips.

The roasted chicken with herbs and citrus flavours was juicy and tender. We also loved the cherry tomatoes which added sweetness to the dish. With every bite of the tortilla chips, a distinct crunchy sound can be heard. The savoury of the roasted chicken made this healthy bowl super appetizing. 

The last bowl was Prawn Salsa Bowl ($15.00) which consists of prawns with pineapple salsa, romaine lettuce, avocado, sauteed mushrooms and lemon wedge. It was then toppled with cherry tomatoes and raw onions mini cubes. This is my least preferred bowl as I'm not a fan of raw onion.

You can request for sauces to enhance the taste of the healthy bowls if it is too light for you. They have tartar, sesame soy and paprika yoghurt sauce to go with the meat.

Moving on to pasta.

Laksa Pasta ($12.90) which consists of dry laksa linguine with shrimps, hard-boiled egg, sliced fish cakes and crunchy taupok cubes. 

This dish incorporates our local iconic food culture which definitely will steal the heart of laksa lovers. The familiar laksa broth was locked in every strand of the al dente pasta.

Though this was my second time having Tom Yum Seafood Pasta ($13.90), this was different from the one I had at Citrus By The Pool. This is the dry pasta version. The dry linguine was coated with the signature tom yum broth, served alongside with prawns, squid and mussels. 

This pasta is not for people who can't handle spice because it was packed with such a potent flavour that one mouthful can make you sweat and start looking for your drink. The spiciness level might be overwhelming but we still enjoy eating as the pasta was really tasty.

This was the main course I wanted to try when I saw it on the menu, Fried Chicken & Waffle ($15.90). The fried chicken chunks on fluffy waffle was served with butter and maple syrup.

The fried chicken was drizzled with maple syrup, making it moist and added sweetness to the overall taste. The waffle has is buttery on the outside and airy on the inside. I loved the crispy exterior of the fried chicken and the succulent meat. The combination of the crispy friend chicken and fluffy waffle was so perfect.

Another of my favourite was Egg-ploding Burger ($12.90) served with Cajun Fries. Beneath the golden brown crispy fried chicken thigh was a juicy meat that was perfectly fried. The egg nachos mayo added a different texture which softened the sesame seed bun and chicken thigh. 

Remember to save your stomach for their dessert. We had Homemade Apple Crumble ($7.90) for dessert, it comes with a scoop of ice cream and we had vanilla flavour. I like how the vanilla ice cream moistened the apple crumble and boosted the flavour when we consumed. Every mouthful made me want to go for more.

Last but not least, we had Molten Chocolate Lava Cake ($10.90) which was in a heart shape, specially created for Valentine's Day. It also comes with a scoop of ice cream and we opt for strawberry ice cream.

Cut open the lava cake and rich chocolate flowing out. Pair the lava cake with strawberry ice cream to enjoy the warm and cold combination dessert. So tantalising.

The fairy lights looked even prettier at night, making the cafe dazzling up the dull night. I highly recommend this cafe for the ambience and food, enough supporting evidence to travel here for the food. 

Thanks Good Bites and Dawn for hosting us.
