Still miss the traditional Biscuits you had when you are young and couldn't find it anymore in any of the provision shop near you? Look no more further than what Biscuit King had installed for you! I was at Ming Chu Che Lao Ban for late dinner and I happen to walk-by the shop. So after the dinner, I decided to walk in to take a look to my expectation, it's a SNACK HEAVEN! They have over 100 snacks for you to choose!

 

 

You will know how famous the shop is when you visit there by the door, which is full of media articles and polaroids of celebrities with the owner of Biscuit King.


Biscuit King is full of childhood memories. Remember when was the last time you the "Ice-gem biscuit"? Remember when was the last time you play the old-fashioned games cards like Snap!, Donkey and Happy Family? Of course our childhood favourite bubble thing that smells like gum? I definitely miss those toys even now. If you would want to buy those biscuits in tin, you may purchase them from $28.00 onwards.





Intent to purchase them in bulk? You may do so by going to their websites to order it. There might be deposits you may need to pay before the delivery. Find out more from Biscuit King at www.biscuitking.com.sg

Ming Chu Che Lao Ban Seafood Restaurant (Non-Halal)

Address:

134A Casuarina Rd
Singapore 579522


Yesterday I went to this Zi Char (Seafood Restaurant) for dinner with my mom and her friends. We were welcomed by the friendly staff. Not to forget the boss, he's friendly and likes to interact with his customers. I definitely love the food especially the Fish steamboat. They will serve you the steamboat first without the meat first to have your soup heated while the staff debone your fish which I also hate to debone the fish myself. So it's thoughtful that the staff debone the fish for you to enjoy your meal.


Another thing we ordered was the Prawn Paste Chicken and Oatmeal Prawn. Simply SEDAP!!! (delicious in malay). It might be expensive but it's really worth to try. We didn't order much only 4 of us were eating. You should give it a try when you are in the area for lunch/dinner/supper.


My ratings for Ming Chu Che Lao Ban Seafood Restaurant:

Experience: 6/10
Hospitality: 7.5/10
Price: 4.5/10
Customer Service: 7/10

 

 

My FoodPocket new banner!

 

 

 

 Finally I had come up with a banner for this food blog! May not be the perfect banner but I appreciate my hand-drawn art piece. I'm not only just a food blogger, but I'm a part-time doodler. My Signature doodles is this Pig (but somehow look like a mouse because of the ears). I have quite a lot of doodles of this pig but won't be showing all of it in 1 post. :)

Brunch at Ipoh Lao Yao Bean Sprout Chicken (Non-Halal)

Recently, I went to this outlet at Bishan Junction 8 (Singapore) for brunch. Purposely skipped my breakfast for this as I always pass by the shop, its always full- house. So I thought I should give it the try from what I see.

So me and my mom visited this Outlet in Bishan (as stated above) to have our brunch. When we arrived there. first, the area is so cramped where I sit. My mom have no peace in enjoying her meal as the staff and other customer kept asking my mom to make way. For goodness sake! We initially was sitting outside and they ask us to sit inside than kept interrupting our meal!

I always like to have a decent and quiet meal without interruption and yet by asking my mom to make way continuously to get your items, why don't you take what you want in a go rather than disturbing your customer having a decent meal?!

When the food comes, I was excited to get my first bite on the food served. But before I could eat it, My mom showed me the bill which was shocking $31.90! What we ate was just half-chicken, 1 plate of Thai-style Chicken Feet and 2 bowls of rice. Would you pay for a plate of Thai-style chicken feet that cost $6.00 yet you can only like have about 4 or 5 pieces? Too me that's expensive for a place in a Neighbourhood Shopping Centre but if it would be like in places like VivoCity, SUNTEC City or maybe hotel, I wouldn't say much.

The rice taste okay but it's not sticky enough and it's abit too dry. Maybe they can add more ingredient to boost up the fragrance of the rice. I don't know other dishes they selling taste better or not, but from what I see when I was dining, only about 2 tables (including the our table) ordered the main product which is the Chicken Rice of course. All the other tables seems to be ordering Fishball Soup and other product which I can really remember every single one of it. Maybe if you pass-by the stall and would like to give it a try (if you want to), maybe try to order individual set meal for the chicken rice before ordering Ala Carte or you could try other food they are also selling.

I don' know if there how many outlets do Ipoh Lao Yao Beans Sprout Chicken has but different people have different taste-bud so maybe you can give it a try? :)
