Tim's Restaurant & Cafe

Image
Tim's is a cozy western and Nepalese restaurant and cafe and I feel that it is quite popular among the residents and office workers. The menu resembled Jack's Place but at a way lower price. Affordable!   I was so tied between in their monthly promotion's Pacific Clam and Squid Aglio Olio and their set meal which is only $13.90! So friggin cheap! Set meals comes with a soup of the day, main, drink and a dessert! NO GST some more! Soup of the day was mushroom soup and it was so good! Not diluted or curdled at all, the consistency of the soup is just nice and full of fresh mushrooms that I can really taste and bite into! Unlike some of the substandard soups that I tried before and couldn't even see any mushrooms inside, Tim's surely did not disappoint! The picture might not look as appetizing as I changed the vegetables to fries not knowing that there are potatoes too,  kinda regretted not having any greens. On a side note, my grilled fish is tasted...

Creamier

Recess week is soon over in the blink of an eye, since I did not have the chance to go out much during the week, I had to make the most of my Sunday by cafe hopping to get my ice cream fix before school reopens.  Finally decided to go to Creamier to satisfy my ice cream cravings after wasting a lot of time researching and deciding on where to go.  I had heard of Creamier for quite some time but did not have the chance to visit the cafe. Finally, I had the chance to try it, in this nice little ice cream parlour among the heart of Toa Payoh neighbourhood. It was quite packed when we first arrived, but the crowd soon cleared as most of them finished their desserts around the same time. I realised that the people finished their ice creams and waffles pretty fast, so I thought it must be really good. Creamier did really well in their table management as each table is given a table tracker which will silently vibrate to indicate the order is done, and the next momen...

CoolPlay Soft Serve

Image
No need to go all the way to Taiwan to enjoy this soft serve that is full of swag, it is now available in the neighbourhood of Toa Payoh. After a 10 minute walk from Toa Payoh MRT, we finally found this simple little shop, filled with many different props for photo taking.  The flavours of the week are heavy chocolate, milk tea and melons.  Be it cup or cone, double flavours are priced at $5.50 while single flavour are available for $5. Not everyone can pull off a moustache and look cool, but Coolplay soft serves certainly can. Heavy Chocolate X Milk Tea combination is a little too rich whereas the combination of rock melons and honeydew taste light and suited our sweet tooth more. The moustache is actually an edible biscuit but a little disappointing that it do not have much taste. On a side note, the soft serves are really suitable for the hot and hazy days, however they do melt real fast and be sure to take your photographs real quick before they ...
