Twins

After our last failed attempt to visit on a sat afternoon we finally made it for dinner on a recent Sunday!

In the empty restaurant that quickly filled up!


The menu which states only fresh chicken was used... We say you really can taste the difference!

Menu page 2


The desserts which we didn't try


The seafood pancake $20 was crispy and for something filled with veggies were super delicious! Somehow it also cured my craving for Ou Jian (Oyster Omelette)! That's how crispy and flavorful it is! However it is a little pricey for the little amount of seafood in it!


Even the fat boy who hates veggies loved it!


The highlight! Korean fried chicken wings in soy sauce!


we still prefer the kko kko nara chicken even though it is smaller and less juicy but this is something we would still come back for.


happy fat boy with the food!

no pics of me as i was without makeup.

23 Jumpin

Happened to be in the area to pick up my dad's car and randomly googled places to eat in Tai Seng. Turned out there is a happening cluster of cafes a 2 mins walk from Tai Seng MRT Exit A. After research we decided to head to 23 Jumpin.


my duck leg confit which looks a mess but is actually quite good! so food presentation 1 star but taste 4.5 stars


The burger was pretty awesome for the price! Think it was $16. Pardon me if I'm wrong. I generally don't like burgers as the beef usually taste too beefy if u get what I mean.  But this tasted just like a minced up steak and is definitely freshly made (or so I guess). The caramelized onions and sauce all add balance well on the soft bread. Is definitely a burger we will be back for!


The paprika honey wings to share served on a chop board same as Lola's Cafe. 10 half wings for $8. Half wings are just so much more convenient to eat and these were crunchy and definitely something I will order again. But not something I will head there specially for unlike the Lola's ones of the burger above!


The cola float $5 is a refreshing fix from the hot sun outside!

The mister had a cold latte which is so nice that he slurped it up before I remembered to take a pic.

Overall a ulu place but definitely worth a visit!

Turn left head to the back lane after coming out from Tai Seng MRT Exit A.
Then turn right and walk along the curved road and you will see a yellow building with a row of small cafes with black tinted glass exterior.

Boufe Boutique Cafe


Rare chance to eat with the bro in law after church (he usually attend the youth ministry on Sat) so we rode and drove to this cafe suggested by him! Youngsters know the more happening places and Boufe Boutique Cafe at 308 Tanglin Road is definitely one of them! It is located in Pheonix Park where another popular brunch place, Spruce is located right at the entrance.


I love black and white houses with swing! If only I can afford one!


The super crowded interior! But we were quickly given a table in a corner so I think the wait is definitely acceptable considering it was during Sunday afternoon lunch hour.

My ice mocha which I didn't really like as I dun like coffee with a strong acidic note...

Trying to take an Instagram worthy pic with the white table decor!

Bro In law's Hisbiscus Tea and Eggs Benedict

Hubby and him both ordered the same thing and both said were good! The ham was fried in bacon fat giving it more flavour.


My salted egg york cray fish with sourdough bread and mushrooms . I'm allergic to some mushrooms but thankfully these were fine! I also love the soft bread that went well with the salted egg york. But the salted egg york sauce itself could do with more flavour as it was on the bland side. Overall is still something i would order again.

We ordered an opera cake to share! The cakes at this cafe is definitely worth the price! It is of high quality comparable to that served at high end hotels.


Sadly they forgot our wings order ($10) so this was served last. Preferred these to those at 23 Jumpin which we ate a day earlier but i will blog about soon. I prefer more honey than those with more paprika powder!
