Ben's Cookies

The famed English cookie company Ben's Cookies launched with much fanfare a few months ago. We were waiting for the hype to die down before sampling their wares, as the sole store at Wisma Atria still sports a long queue of customers. But, a friend brought over a whole bunch of their cookies for dessert one luncheon a couple of weeks ago, and we were forever hooked. The Hubs actually went out that very weekend to satisfy his cookie fix! The cookies truly lived up to the hype; delightfully chewy, crumbly, buttery, generously studded with chocolate chunks and nuts, and surprisingly cheap. Apparently, 7 huge cookie discs retail at only $14!

White Chocolate Chunk, laced with hunks of melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate. By the way, the cookies may seem that they come in semi-circlets, but it's only because the Hubs actually ate the other halves. He was halfway through them all before he'd realised I needed to take pictures of them!

My fave, Dark Chocolate and Nuts, speckled with walnuts and chocolate pieces.

Strictly for chocoholics, the Double Chocolate Chunk has a double dose of chocolate.

Unexpectedly, I didn't like the Peanut Butter as much as I did the ones with nuts. I suppose it's because I prefer my cookies traditional.

The White Chocolate and Macadamia, a smaller disc but higher mound so it looked a little like a mini bun of sorts, had plentiful macadamias. This took a joint first place with the Dark Choc and Nuts.

used to eat an extraordinary number of these in the UK - so delicious, and much better than mrs fields (which I believe was the main contender in the soft cookie market here).

must be the soft texture and generous chocolate!!

ABC Brickworks Food Centre

싱가포르에 호커 센터 중에서 에이비씨 브릭워케 호커 센터를 우리가 제일 좋아해요. 실제로 싱가포르에서 가장 크고 유명한 호커 센터 중 하나예요. 가끔 외국인 여행자들이 이 호커 센터에서 식사하고 관광도 해요.  호커 음식은 내가 우리 나라 싱가포르에서 제일 사랑하는 것이에요. 호커 푸드는 내 컴포트 푸드여서 내 마음에 들어와요. 음식도 싸고 맛있고 종류도 많아요. 해외여행 가면 그리운 음식이 호커푸드인데 싱가포르에 돌아와서 가장 먼저 먹는 음식이 박초미예요.  박초미은 아마도 내가 제일 좋아하는 호커푸드예요. 나는 식초맛을 좋아하고 버섯볶음이 제일 맛있고 용기가 제일 맛있어요.   =========================   ABC Brickworks is one of the more well-known, and beloved, hawker centres in SG. The fact that tourists can sometimes be seen traipsing down the rows of neon-lit stalls is testament to its fame.  We hit up ABC a couple times a month, at least; the hawker centre is central enough that satisfying a local food craving here doesn't require an hour+-long round trip (unlike with Fengshan Bedok); there's ample enough lots that parking doesn't require the patience of a saint (unlike with Serangoon Gardens); seats are plentiful enough that large groups are able to find a table fairly easily, and ...

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant, Novena Square 2

Image
The third floor of Novena Square 2 has been dubbed "Little Korea" due to the prevalence of Korean-centric shops. There's a Korean supermarket, at least 2 Korean restaurants and a whole bunch of hole-in-the-wall fashion shops selling clothes imported from Korea. We were there one evening and were enticed by the delicious smells wafting from Hansang Korean Family Restaurant . One part of the restaurant is reserved for those having Korean BBQ and the other part is solely for diners not having the Korean BBQ. This separateness is great because you don't walk out smelling of bulgogi. A unique dining feature here is that they actually serve an  Amuse Bouche of sorts. The trio of bite-sized bits heralded the start of a good meal. The toasted Broad Beans were served at room temperature, with a savoury taste to the creamy nutty texture. The  Pumpkin Squash was a sweet, creamy and light mash. The Fried Mini Shrimp was salty, mildly spicy an...

En cet Jour Américain de Merci Donnant qui vient de passer, même si on à Singapour ne le célèbre pas, et même si le monde entier est essentiellement une énorme merdier en ce moment, c'est aussi un moment opportun pour exprimer notre gratitude pour tout cela. Il est incontestable que cette année a été extraordinaire. Pour moi, cette année a commencé extraordinairement terrible, mais le travail à la maison était une extraordinaire don du ciel, et maintenant, ça se terminera extraordinairement bien. Et pour laquelle je suis reconnaissante. Après la pluie, le beau temps, c'est vrai. Mais surtout, je suis le plus reconnaissante pour la naissance de Mon Bou, car c'est aussi aujourd'hui son anniversaire. C'est fortuit que pour le jour de l’action de grâce, je rends grâce pour la meilleure chose de ma vie, Mon Mari et mon coeur ❤ #reconnaissante Et sur une note moins profonde et beaucoup et beaucoup plus superficielle, je suis aussi très reconnaissante pour les réductions d...
