( ヤマダイ Yamadai ) New Touch ニュータッチ Nagoya Taiwan Mazesoba 名古屋発 台湾まぜそば

Bought this from Iroha Mart in Chinatown Point... I think it costs SGD2.90... can't really remember... but find this instant soba quite nice, so bought a couple that day. The soba has a nice chewy texture after cooked, and the overall taste is quite savoury-sweet with a tinge of spiciness. The small bits of mock (???) meat are hard to find after mixing though... Had this for lunch with some blanched kailan with teriyaki sauce (from Iroha Mart as well)...

吳寶春麥方店 Wu Pao Chun Bakery - 荔枝玫瑰麵包 Lychee Rose Royale , 酒釀桂圓麵包 Red Wine Logan

Should have taken the other half of the 酒釀桂圓麵包 Red Wine Logan (bread) too... the taste is very good!!!!!


Visited the 吳寶春麥方店 Wu Pao Chun Bakery today, at Capitol Plaza. It was raining pretty heavy, so probably the no-crowd there... I immediately looked for the 2 champion breads, and was surprised to find they are selling half-loaves. But I also realised I should have bought a whole loaf of the 酒釀桂圓麵包 Red Wine Logan, very very unique. The first thing that caught my attention is the weight of the loaf, quite heavy compared to similar-sized bread. The inner was moist, much more than what I expected (meaning when I microwave for about 15 - 20 seconds, the bread is still moist and soft, nice...) and there are plentiful of the smoked dried-longan and nuts (walnut I think?), and there really is A LOT in the bread. The "wow" factor is the strong "smokiness" smell and taste, very very very unique. Combined with the elegant taste of the red-wine smoked dried longan, the bread is just very tasty ( with the nuts giving some crunching feel when chewing the bread).


The other bread 荔枝玫瑰麵包 Lychee Rose Royale is quite nice too, having a very light but elegant rose fragrance and big bits of dried (?) lychee makes this a very unique taste bread...

Having said that, the price is a bit high... SGD14+ for a half-loaf, and SGD20+ for a full loaf of bread is somewhat pricey... though the bread is pretty big and heavy, and the ingredients are A LOT... and most important the taste is good... So will I make a return-purchase? ... Well... probably yes, though not often... The bakery does also sell the smaller bread/bun and other stuff ( I bought some too, see the pictures above... ) which are not that expensive compared to this 2 types but somewhat similar priced to those in Breadtalk...

Tiger Sugar 老虎堂 Brown Sugar Boba Milk

Somehow felt the boba (big pearls) not as soft as the Xing Fu Tang's... maybe is me getting older already... But still quite nice to drink!!!!

伊莱福 Instant Tomato & Egg Soup - SGD0.xx (bought too long ago

Not sure why I prepare and eat this when I can just go down to buy a packet of freshly cooked soy-sauce chicken rice at SGD3... anyway...

Maruchan Seimen Noukou Toro Tonkotsu Instant Ramen マルちゃん 正麺 濃厚とろ豚骨

Purchased in Iroha Mart, should be around SGD4++... The noodles have a very nice and chewy texture, which many instant bowl or up noodles lack in... The broth is quite ok, savoury and quite thick... bite on some sesame seeds, and the spring onions gave the bowl of noodles good appearance... The kelp (???) pieces provided some good chewing texture... Overall a very nice bow of instant ramen...

Myojo Wonton Noodle Chicken Salt Flavour 明星 評判屋 わんたん麺 鶏だし塩味

Bought it at Iroha Mart, can't remember how much it cost.. the portion is a little small... but the noodles are chewy!!!! Very nice. The small wontons are very cute, though can barely taste the "meat filling"... soup is savoury with a bit of sweetness, and topped with lots of spring onions and egg bits... Nice...

金磨坊 : 鱼豆腐 - 烧烤味 香辣味 Jin Mo Fang : Fish Beancurd ( Tofu ) - Barbeque and Spicy Flavour

Bought from Taobao... costs around SGD11 for a bag of 50 pieces. Can't really differentiate between the 2 flavours, but they both have a very typical taste and smell found in the Mala hotpot... think is the 孜然 or something like that. Quite nice. Will probably buy the Three Squirrels brand to try next time...
