CIEL PATISSERIE @ 146 Jalan Bukit Merah



Today after lunch, we intentionally did not order any drinks as we decided to go to this place known as CIEL PATISSERIE for coffee and cakes.

This place is located at Blk 146, Jalan Bukit Merah, #01-1090.


As you can see, there are so many cakes on the display and it is not easy for us to choose. Therefore I asked the staff for the signature cakes.


As a chocolate lover, I choose the one on the left which look a bit like an apple (MON CHERI) and my wifey chose the one on the right which look like a rectangular tube (BLANC). 

We also order a cup of long black to go along with it. 


MON CHERI taste exactly like chocolate! The exterior of the skin taste sweet and at the core of it (center part of the cake) is red and taste fruity sweet which the staff mentioned that its has a bit of alcohol flavour (I'll give a 4.8 out of 5 stars).



This BLANC cake taste sweet (definitely will be well-like by the ladies). It is a white chocolate mousse cake with mango and yuzu (probably worth a 4.5 out of 5 star rating). As you can see in the above picture, you might already guessed that the center part of it is the mango and yuzu while the outer layer is the white chocolate.

It was a cozy afternoon well-spent with coffee and cakes. Definitely we will go again but probably will try other cakes next time round.

Coffee Stop at 473 Fernvale Street



It was the 2nd time we came here for the Zi Char. Probably because it was tasty?

Well, first time round when we came here, we ordered some food and prefer to sit outside under the moon. It was cooling and the food was nice.



Except for the Kang Kong, the rest of the dishes were totally different from what we ordered the first time round. We ordered curry leaves & spicy sauce clams (as shown in the above picture on the right hand side) which was different from the first time one which was cooked in superior broth.

The top middle dish was marmite sauce chicken which taste quite sweet (definitely good for those who has sweet tooth).


We also ordered curry fish meat (just add additional $3 if you choose fish meat instead of fish head) as the previous time we already tried assam fish head. Sorry for the above picture which was not nicely taken as we were quite hungry and forgot to take the picture before we tuck in.


The last dish that we ordered was superior pot. Inside the pot there were a mixture of dishes such as prawns, carrots, fish maw, sea cucumber, mushrooms, clams etc.

The price was reasonable (depends on what you order and how many dishes). It cost around $70 - $110 for a table of 6 adults and 4 children.

For more information on the price of the dishes, feel free to take a look at the menu displayed below:



Have you ever tried the Zi Char here before? What's your opinion on the food here?

Great Food At 638 Veerasamy Road


This place is one of my friend, Richard favourite's food hangout place. It is located at Blk 638 Veerasamy road

This time round, we came together with his friend, Andrew as well as Andrew's dad (Richard and I address him as Uncle).


As usual, one of the favourite dish which Richard and myself ❤️ is frog's legs cooked with spicy sauce in a claypot. However, Andrew does not like frog's leg as he don't think that frog's legs taste a bit like chicken meat.

He mentioned that he could taste the difference between them when I challenged him that if we were to debone the frog's legs and fried it, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

 

From the same stall not only we ordered frog's legs, we also ordered pork's liver and fried eggs mixed with prawns.

For the pork livers, I only get to taste the sauce (which I poured it into my rice) as personally I don't like to eat internal organs especially pork's liver.

As for the fried eggs mixed with prawn, it taste nice especially when you dip it into some chilli sauce (ultimately I'm a spice boy which some of you might know as I really ❤️ spicy stuffs)


We also ordered minced pork porridge that comes along with egg for Andrew and minced pork porridge with preserved egg for his dad. 

As I'm not really a porridge person, I didn't get to try the porridge. However, Uncle did mentioned that the porridge was tasty. Maybe I should try it next time round? Especially if its on a raining day, I would ❤️ to have something hot on a cool weather!



Lastly, while waiting for the "main course" to come, we ordered some finger food (fried chicken wings!!!) from the stall as shown in the picture above the chicken wings.

We ordered 3 chicken wings which cost only $3.60 (one for $1.20).

Not only its cheaper than the IKEA's one, but definitely tastier too.

And of course, remember to go along with the chilli sauce!

While eating, not only we talked about Grabbing and Ubering in Singapore as well as how these disruptors affect other countries. We also talked about real estate investments etc.

It was really a great nice afternoon makan session!
