FATCAT Ice Cream Bar – Awesome Ice Cream Waffle Place

Located in a subtle neighbourhood of Bedok in Singapore, it needs a little exploration to find this cafe with a cute name – FATCAT. It’s not on the main street, nor the busy downtown, yet it’s situated down below the HDB flats at Bedok North Ave 2 which took about 15 minutes walk from the MRT station. Not too hard to find after all.

I could tell that it would not disappoint me with people waiting outside for a table and the full-house atmosphere. Upon entering, there’s no sign of any ‘cat’ that resemble the cafe’s name, but cute worker in pink and whiskers drawn on face. Oh, and it’s a Japanese month, so beside their original collections of ice cream, there’s a new line of Japanese inspired ice cream. This means that they do theme ice cream from time to time.

Too many to pick from and we ended with special Butterbeer and Thai Milk Tea, and of course serve them with their famous – Charcoal Waffles. The waffle texture scored crispy and fluffy and the salted egg yolk sauce blends it perfectly with the sweet ice cream.

What a lovely afternoon with artisan ice cream, and waffle. Let’s do it again!

Ramadhan Bazaar At Geylang Serai Is A Must-Go In Singapore

If you happens to be in Singapore during the Ramadhan month, you must visit the Ramadhan Bazaar at Geylang Serai, just east of Singapore! You will be amazed by the number of eateries and the big crowds there! I went just in time on the last day of Ramadhan and was quite surprised to see all Muslim friends were so busy working the last day on the eve of Eid.

If us, the Chinese would have been slowing down on the Chinese New Year and closes early for the holiday! Haha. Speaking of the Ramadhan Bazaar, it’s pretty eye opening comparing to the Pasar Ramadhan in Malaysia because it targets youngster more with many hipster food and drinks.

Not everything beautiful was good, they are more likely good on the Instagram but not my kind of food in my taste bud. But, I have to say, food was not cheap, not in the way of Malaysian spending in Singapore, but in a Singapore way, you could easily spend up to 40-50$ at there. Forget about money, and just enjoy the hipster bazaar!

These grilled oyster with different sauce topping are the bomb!

Long queue for cheap takoyaki – $2.50 only for 6 balls, but not perfect.

Really?! Raclette cheese set with just cocktail sausages and potato for $12? Not anymore, cheese cooled in minutes and didn’t finish it.

Ramly Burger in Singapore is not as cool as Malaysia’s, no vege in the burger.

Watermelon volcano, just perfect for the humid weather.

Opens only during Ramadhan’s month, so get back next year and you can easily reach there by bus – just search Bazaar Ramadhan Bazaar on Citymapper.

Singapore: Momiji Japanese Buffet, Revenue House

Singapore: Momiji Japanese Buffet, Revenue House – On a after-work Friday evening, after fetching my brother from the CBD, he brought me and Clarice to the Revenue House at Novena for this Japanese buffet @ Momiji Japanese Buffet Restaurant for dinner. There’s nothing much special of having Japanese buffet in Singapore, it feels the same to me, except that the currency is in Sing dollar. Interestingly it’s located in a government building where it’s very quiet after work.

Comparing to Malaysia’s, it’s only S$36.80++/per pax, given that you earn in Singapore dollar, it’s pretty affordable comparing to at least RM80/per pax in Malaysia with the similar salary payroll, but in Ringgit.

Forget about the money talk. Let’s get into the restaurant for food. If you come early, in between 6.30pm to 7.30pm, you can get a free flow of Sapporo beer. I assume that they want to bloated your stomach with beer so you can’t consume much. HAHA.

Nevertheless, the buffet choices was pretty interesting, there’s a wide range of fresh raw sashimi which I only targeted the raw salmon and shrimp. Other than that, the teppanyaki and cook-on-the-spot section attracted me well, as well as the dinner special of snow crab and crayfish. Snow crab was really interesting with juicy and salty crab meat.

Desserts furthermore satisfied my sweet tooth with a few repeats of Haagen Dazs ice cream, and cakes.

Ended with a satisfied stomach, fulled, and a smile on the face. We then headed to Gardens By The Bay for a little night walk to ease the digestion.

Singapore: Ippudo Ramen, Mandarin Gallery

Yeah, the shop front.

Singapore: Ippudo Ramen, Mandarin Gallery – This ramen is a bomb! Not the price, but the taste! It’s better than a lot ramen I had in Kuala Lumpur, or Penang. I don’t think Penang has good ramen, maybe Kuala Lumpur. Located at Mandarin Gallery, Orchard Road is this Ippudo Ramen restaurant. Upon arriving, I already see a long queue outside the restaurant waiting to be seated.

The queue. So hungry wheyyyyyy.

The interiors, not really a big restaurant.

Well, it took us about like 20 minutes to be seated and we ordered right away. Brother did the ordering for me as he went there a few times. The place is not an ideal for chit-chating as it’s quite noisy and has some music playing on which the it’s not those soft and sentimental music.

I am so sorry for forgetting about the food name, but please allow the pictures speak for it. =)

Appetizer: Cucumber!

Appetizer 2: Curry toufu with dry noodle. This one is very yummy, it’s curry powder sauce.

The ramen, special soup, with tamago, cha shu pork, garlic, and lard. The soup is simply awesome but it seems like there’s a lot MSG which makes me thirst after that.

Singapore: Sentosa Beach, Malaysian Food Street & Crane Dance @ Universal Studios Singapore

Check out more posts about Singapore here.

Singapore: Sentosa Beach, Malaysian Food Street & Crane Dance @ Universal Studios Singapore – Woottt, I went to Sentosa Island in Singapore last week. Brother and I actually have no where to go, shopping was boring, nothing to buy and expensive, so we just went to walk around in Sentosa Island, taste the Malaysian Street Food and also check out the Crane Dance at night.

Sentosa Beach

Since it’s still early, the Crane Dance is at 9pm, we headed to the beach of Sentosa via the monorail. I have never been to the Sentosa Beach before and after visiting it, I have got to say, it’s not a good beach, Batu Feringghi is so much better because of great & relaxing view. From the Sentosa Beach, looking out you will see huge ships park in the middle of the sea and at far, you will see many refineries. The view is just not pretty for relax despite how clean the beach is and the tiny soft sand. I like the sand though, wonder where do they come from.

Malaysian Food Street

After beach exploration, my stomach started to growl and we headed to the Malaysian Food Street located right beside the entrance of Universal Studios Singapore. Funny right? Malaysian, eating out Malaysian Food in Singapore. Haha. Actually Malaysian Street Food is like a food court which all the Malaysian Food are really brought from Malaysia, Resorts World Sentosa brought in the group of Malaysian street food owners to cook and sell their food at there. Some of the taste are pretty authentic like the Hokkien Prawn Mee.

I’ve tried Penang Chendol and it’s not really good, but Ampang Yong Toufu was good too. Price starts from S$5. If you are Malaysian and is craving for Penang food, I think this is a good place, just that you have to pay extra S$3 for monorail entering the island. Haha.

Crane Dance

At 9pm, we went to see the Crane Dance, which is a new attractions in Universal Studios Singapore. It’s actually two very huge cranes dancing. The cranes actually represent to birds and water sprayed out from both side of the crane are the wings of the big birds. There’s music and visual accompany with the dance and the show is about 10 minutes. Pretty cool, you can see the real cargo cranes at the port of Singapore from there.

That’s it for my Singapore short trip. =D

Check out more posts about Singapore here.

Singapore: Chicken Rice @ Koufu, NUS U Town – When visit to Singapore, the Singaporean sure will introduce their famous Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice. Well, I’ve got to say, Penang also has nice Hainanese Chicken Rice marrrrr. Haha, Actually I don’t really know about what’s so great about their Chicken Rice, I have tried good one and not so good one in Singapore. Surprisingly, the one in the Koufu Food Court of NUS U Town is good to me. Haha. S$4/plate. Singapore’s President Nathan praised good before too. LOL

Singapore: New iPad, A&C, Marutama Ra-Men

Check out more posts about Singapore here.

Singapore: New iPad, A&C, Marutama Ra-Men – Hello friends, I am back again! Went for a break lately as I was busy settling stuff to go back to Kuala Lumpur and I went to Singapore last weekend! I went there to collect my new Apple iPad, and also to visit my brother, walk walk & eat eat.

Now I go to Singapore almost every year, or once a few months, I don’t really know what’s nice to do at there. Mostly, just walkaround the same spot e.g. Orchard Road, Vivo City, and eat.

I took the bus Aeroline from Sunway and I arrived in Singapore in the afternoon. Headed to my brother place right away in NUS and then I started molesting the new iPad. It, just feel so right and good, and sexy, but not really lighter than the old iPad a lot. Didn’t really get to play much about it as it was getting late.

Air-conditioned bus interchange at Clementi. Where can you find in Malaysia or Penang?

On the bus.

Magnificent design of ION@Orchard.

Bought Japanese gourmet chocolate – Royce.

Abercrombie & Fitch – an American apparel company.

Our free Instax.

There was a Dance Central Kinect competition going.

We went to Orchard Road for a while to check out some sleeve for the iPad. Brother brought me to Abercrombie & Fitch shop at Orchard Road, it’s so damn cool in it, the interior is very dark, products are shine by spotlight and music is as loud as in the club, you get a free Instax photo with the man model at there too.

Marutama Ra-Men, Clarke Quay

Then we headed to Clarke Quay for dinner at a ramen restaurant – Marutama Ra-Men. It’s located in Central Shopping Mall. Brother told me they serve awesome authentic ramen.

Kakuni ($6) – Pork belly, it’s just so fattening, yet so delicious. You just can’t go without the juicy and succulent fat part.

Namuru ($4) – Pickles radish as appertizer, very sour.

In-house special – Marutama Ra-men ($12) with extra Ajitsuke Tamago ($1). The soup tasted very sweet and the ra-men noodle is very springy which I like. You can find char siu and plenty of seaweed in it. Best part is the additional Ajitsuke Tamago which is half boiled seasoned egg, the yolk is just half boiled and the white is a full boiled. Yums.
