Wanna try out some taitai life, hence went for a few rounds of high tea session with different group of people. Like a shioks only... wahhahaah
Wanted to try Equinox, however, they no longer have high tea buffet, only the semi-brunch lunch available. And I realized not many high tea buffets nowadays, more of like a high tea set which is non-replenishable.

I think the price has increased. $48++















There was a whole selection of TWG tea.
However, I was pregnant, so I gave it to my bro instead.



And I chose Orange juice, for Vitamin C!



A welcome tea, tasted not bad, refreshing... just had a little sip.






A variety of savory cooked dishes



sandwiches



truffle mash potato..
This was good! I had a few servings of it.



Sauté mushroom
Not bad... but my bro doesn't like it.



Duck Redang
I find this quite yummy too. Good to go with some rice :)



Beef... but I don't take.



prawn mee soup. the soup was quite savory, overall was quite ok.



Prawns with crispy oat and almonds.
Taste alright, but I think will taste better if its hot.



Cod fish?
I felt its a bit overcooked? not smooth and tender.



Spinach & Ricotta Canneloni
The cheese on top a little hard already. But still taste quite ok.




Dim sum...
soso... not really yummy. Kinda like those frozen pack ones.




Fried chicken and chicky puffs.
The chicken was not bad, not oily. Taste a bit like Mcdonalds fried chicken.



The sushi n sashimi doesn't seem appetizing, doesn't look fresh.









Cheese corner.



Cakes!



more cakes!



Quite a variety of dessert...






nonya kuehs... not very yummy though






prawn mee soup







my bro's.... cos I cant eat SASHIMI!!!




also my bro's... cos I cant eat not fully cooked food!!








carrot cake was not bad. the carrot is so cute! wahaha... although I didn't eat that.




only took a bite of everything...



crème brulee
very sweet








still prefers Canele... but... Canele has closed down!!! so sad.







Me and my bro and Xindy...




the twins :)


Overall, service was not bad, good ambience. The variety of cos again wasn't what I expected. The dessert were really so-so. But a good place to chill though.

Chatterbox - Hainanese Chicken Rice

Address: 333 Orchard Rd, Spore 238867
Opening hours:
Sun to Thurs 11am to 1am
Fri, Sat & PH 10am to 2am



Hainanese Chicken Rice, one of our famous local food. And I was given a treat to the most expensive chicken rice in town at Chatterbox. So, basically, everything in the menu is expensive (as of for local food) cos its at hotel ma!


Cutie chicky.....


As a preggy mama, you will go to the toilet pretty often. So, after i'm back from toilet. The small square size table was filled with food! My crazy colleague always think we super tam chiak...



The portion was pretty big. And the whole set just look atas and attractive.
The rice wasn't as oily and fragrant as compared to those hawker stalls.
The chicken were rather tender and smooth though. The sauces were so-so, nothing to rave about.




My this fellow colleague who always likes to order taw gey.
Hmmm, nothing special... Just to satisfy someone's crave.







Don't know why they order so much vege. Nothing special though. But of cos doesn't taste bad.




Fried chickey. Pretty crispy. But I wouldn't say its really great.


Overall, its a nice atas place to have local food, just that I wouldn't pay this price for it again.
For tourists, I would suggest to go to those neighbouring place, hawker centre to try our famous local delights... which are cheap and good!


Yeah... more good food to come! See you again!

Beauty World Centre, 144 Upper Bukit Timah Rd #04-04 S'pore 588177

Dulu Kala is a Perankan restaurant with traditional comfort food at a affordable price.
It's a pretty pleasure and comfy place to dine at.

Check out their website for more info (menu, etc)

It was recommended by some colleagues, saying the food were pretty authentic and good.
I seldom or hardly eaten perankan dishes... except for their nonya kueh...(all the sweet sweet kueh, oh and nonya dumpling ba zhang)











Coconut drink for the preggy mama.... (during last trimester)
Heard its good for baby's skin? smooth fair skin...
hmmm.... my baby does have smooth skin... but all babies should have smooth skin bah?




Sambal Petai

It was my first time trying petai, and it wasn't as bad as I thought, surprisingly good. The portion of petai was quite generous. And it definitely goes pretty well with sambal. Yummy! We even ordered a second serving of this!



Nonya Chap Chye

Consist of cabbages and black fungus and mushroom. Kinda like our usual chap chye, just slightly sweeter with the brown bean paste sauce?




Ayam Buah Keluak


It's a bit spicy, a bit sourish. pretty interesting, goes well with rice. But I didn't know can scrap the inside of the nutty shell. What a waste.




Assam Fish Head

This was good. And I believe my hubby will love it. The fish was tender, the gravy was a bit spicy n slight soury. Also, goes well with the Thai fragrant white rice!




Bakwan soup

This soup was pretty normal, not what I expected. I find it a little bland though.



Otah

Not too spicy, just alright for me.



So overall, after tasted perankan food, it wasn't quite what I expected though. I thought it would be pretty spicy and strongly flavored. So, it's actually like some homely cooked food. The atmosphere was cosy, service was not bad. I did not wrote the price, cos hubby threw all my receipts away. But I recalled that it wasn't expensive, definitely affordable price.

Yup, so go try if you are a fan of perankan food, I bet you will love it.

See ya!
