7-11 Chicken Chop in Black Pepper Sauce with Spaghetti Aglio Olio , Japanese Spicy Cheese Tamagoyaki
The Chicken Chop meal is newly introduced in 7-11... at least for the outlet at my neighbourhood... and surprisingly the chicken taste quite good. The quantity for the spaghetti is a bit too little though, but for that price, I think the main focus is the reasonably sufficient portion of proteins (a.k.a. chicken meat)... The vegetables especially the broccoli is a nice touch. The tamagoyaki is good as usual.... Lots of proteins... and probably sodium... hmmm... just go and jog more...

Hoshino Coffee 星乃珈琲店 @ Chinatown Point - ( Brunch ) Pancake & Omu Soufflé with Sausage & Bacon
Not sure why but perhaps is the sudden crave to want to try soufflé pancake, hence decided to try out Hoshino Coffee... So I had my meal at the Chinatown Point outlet today...
Nice decorations...
Menu... in the end decided to have the brunch ( available on Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays ) instead... Ordered the Pancake & Omu Soufflé with Sausage & Bacon, and selected the Hoshino Blend Coffee, at $18.80++ (total $22.10)...
Table pager eliminates the hassle for both customers and waiter/-ress...
Coffee was served pretty fast... I trust this was still hand-dripped and not pre-prepared... Smells fragrance before adding the milk, but tasted a bit thin, perhaps I am used to thicker/stronger (arabica beans) coffee... After adding milk, the taste is still a bit thin for me, but the fragrance is good and texture turns slightly smoother. It has a very light and comfortable acidity...
And the set arrived... Portion looks sufficiently good (in the end it proved so too)...
Omu Soufflé - Very very pleasantly surprised when I took the first bite, as I have never tasted anything like this before. It was very very very good! Outside is a good textured egg layer, and the inside is soft, fluffy (not runny). The inner has a good slight savoury and strong buttery taste, the combo is excellent. The drip of tomato sauce (?) does not make drastic impact on the taste of the omelette as the omelette itself is already tasty... It is a wow for me...
Salad - This is also a surprise for me. The fried (?) mushroom is GOOOD (if you don't hate mushroom)!!!!!! The vegetables are crunchy and the 2 broccoli is cooked just well enough without the raw taste but still have slight crunch to it... The fun part is the dressing is quite nice - sourish-sweet, and the first bite weirdly reminds me of the salad in McDonald's chicken burger, don't know why, hahahaha....
Sausage - Chicken? Not sure, did not ask them, but I suspect is pork, as I felt it has a distinct pork taste. Quite good textured skin, and firm chewy meat inside... It can be a little saltish if you eat too much at 1 go, but it works pretty well if you eat it alternating with the Omu Soufflé or best, the salad. Quite good!
Bacon - 2 small pieces, perhaps price of bacon is rising... It has good chewy lean part mixed with the fatty part, and is cooked right without charred parts. And it is not the saltish type unlike the typical bacon often tasted, nice...
Soufflé (?) Pancake - I put a question mark for the "soufflé" part as I don't know if this is really a soufflé pancake... Yes, I had never eaten one before...
Very cute tiny jug containing the syrup... so cute....
Based on the videos seen online, I thought soufflé pancakes should be thick and super soft (slight wobbly when shake???)... So when I put the knife down on it to cut, I am a bit surprised to find the pancake.. well, put it this way, it not as soft / super fluffy as I expected... Maybe it is supposed to be this degree of firmness / fluffiness... anyway, the first mouth of it brings me back to the fact that it is still a "pancake", with the familiar smell and taste of pancake back. In fact, the taste is good! And strangely again, the first bite reminds me of the old-school steamed egg cake texture but with pancake taste... The 2 pieces of pancake is also sufficient in portion, feel blissfully full after the meal... Please do add the syrup and spread the whipped butter (?) and then eat the pancakes, very delicious!!!
Overall, it is a good dining experience, and I will certainly want to try out the full-fledged soufflé pancakes next time.
