Our visit to Singapore and Johor this time around consisted of a fair amount of food as well, considering how the two of us do not settle for bad tasting food, so I decided to just compile everything in one post.
One of the top cafe’s on my Too Visit list when we decided to go Singapore, was Cedele! I’ve been hearing plenty about it from my Singaporean friends and on my instafeed, I dragged Bee there right after we finished USS, to the branch in Resort World.
It was meant to be an early dinner, so I settled for a salad from their salad bar, overjoyed that I found quinoa on the list of pickings.
But my main focus to visit Cedele was their curry pumpkin soup! Everyone raved about this, so I simply had to try it.
I have to say, the texture was divine. It was super smooth and creamy! But maybe because of the curry, the whole thing in general reminds me of dhal. Delicious dhal, but still dhal.x D
Bee got himself the triple sandwich, with chicken, beef and bacon on wholemeal bread, and it was wholesomely satisfying too!
Our first night in JB, we were brought to 7Spice by a friend of ours who was a local there, and we were served northern indian food. Their tandoori was delightful! Not as tender as the one at Pak Putra, but not too bad in general.
Bee shared a tomato naan with the friend, and I took a bite before concluding it tasted like pizza. xD
I honestly cannot tell the difference between this two dishes, but I do know that one is Aloo Gobi, which is curried cauliflower, and the other is a lamb dish. Both were equally delightful.
But the star of the night had to be the palak paneer. All of us loved it! It was silky and smooth and so delicious you wouldn’t believe it!
I also made it a point to visit llao llao in Singapore, and stood in line to wait despite the amount of people because of… instafeed again.
I ended up not being able to manage the classic Sanum everyone orders at llao llao though, and went for a single topping one. Despite so, llao llao’s frozen yogurt is delicious! Bee complained that it was a little too tangy for him, but the tanginess is what makes froyo, froyo!
The food highlight of our trip had to be Marche at Somerset@313 though. Bee was super excited to go, as he loves Marche, its food and its concept, and the one in The Curve here is shit.
This however, was my first time in any Marche at all, and my heart was immediately taken by the cute decorations and set up that reminded me so much of Scotland!
The food was scattered everywhere too, and for a long while I just was stunned and didn’t know what I wanted.
In the end, I ended up with one of their Christmas specials, a tuna and cheese savory crepe. It came out huge, and I couldn’t even finish half of it! It was good though, cheesy and deliciously seasoned. Shared it with Bee!
Also got a side of roasted veggies, and it was a good thing I asked for a small bowl, as we were so full after that!
Bee got himself mushroom soup and some unpictured roasted chicken, and those were amazing too. I think generall Marche in Singapore has amazing food! Making a note to try the rosti the next time we’re there, as the line then was loooong.
Ended up so full I couldn’t even manage dessert! It was a sad thing, as I was very captured by all the Christmas desserts available. So sad! T_T
Ended our trip with one last tapau from JB: Super fluffy banana cake from Hiap Joo Bakery. They are famous galore, and it isn’t for nothing. We had one bite and our eyes popped out, because they were that fluffy and moist! Almost wanted to u-turn to buy up more boxes, but our logical thinking came to play. xD
All in all, it was a wonderful trip! I already miss the Marche in Singapore. ):
