Miam Miam cured my sweet tooth crave!

Hello.

Finally tried this Japanese and French mixed cafe over the weekend.

About us

Miam Miam is a casual Artisanal French café-restaurant that brings together a mixture of French Artisanal Cuisine & Techniques with influences derived from traditional Japanese preparation & cooking arts.

This place is never short of customers. There is always either a long queue or a full house.
But yesterday was exceptionally quiet. (maybe world cup season. everyone was still in bed.heh.)

So there.

Jump with joy and quickly get myself seated.

The menu wasn't really extensive. Good because it makes decision making easier.
But I wasn't feeling up for a main course so i chosea dessert instead.
(Girls and their sweet tooth. And then complain about a fat ass later.) 

I picked this.

Caramelised Banana

Bananas cooked in a deep golden caramel sauce, garnished with toasted almond nibs!

Holy. 

Wait for it.

The brown fluff you see at the base is actually a pancake. Not your conventional kind.

This is like a japanese cake-ish sorta pancake. The french fusion is perhaps the gelato and caramelised banana.

I was told by the waitress that i had to wait 25mins for this. Ok. 

It had to be good since the wait was pretty long for a dessert.

Lo' and behold.

The pancake is indeed worth the wait. It was really fluffy inside. 

Fluffy. Not airy. Not thick or flat.

Pardon the mess. But this is how the insides of the fluff looks like. 

I can't explain to you how this fluff goes very well with the gelato and/or the caramalized banana. 

Even after 15mins into my slow motion slicing and devouring every bit of the fluff, the pancake remained fluffy. It didn't deflate neither did it harden. (you know how some cakes does it when they aren't made properly.)

This is really soft on the inside and slightly toasted on the outside. Just ever so slightly.

After 30mins, I finally cleared the plate. Satisfied with a bloated tummy. And perhaps a bigger ass the next day.

I toss the remaining ice-cream into my coffee. And it instantly became affogato-ish. *LOL*

My opinion is : If you are looking for a dessert after a meal, this is one to SHARE. I didn't had a main course and this felt like i just had a full meal. 

Pair this with a cuppa light tea. An earl grey, maybe. This doesn't sit very well with coffee. 

It gets too "jelat" after a while.

On a whole, this is worth once in a while as a sinful indulgence. 

Mian Mian is located at Bugis Junction.

Hello Panda !

I know i know..
This might seemed a little late and you might have already heard about this.

BUT for those who might still be unaware, Meiji is onto their 40th anniversary this year!
And they are having a small contest.

Buy any of the flavored Hello Panda (make sure the packet says "Win $4000"), download the Meiji 40th Anniversary QR code reader from AppStore or PlayStore (depending on the make of your phone.).
Scan the code and you will find out instantaneously if you win anything!

Their prize range is $200, $1000 and $4000 in cash!!!!!

And guess who got lucky. *beams*

ME ME ME!!!

I wasn't aware of the anniversary thingy going on. Picked a box on random because I felt like I needed a snack.

And so coincidentally i picked the packaging that comes with the contest.

So unassumingly, i followed the instructions.
1. Ripped open box.
2. Download Meiji application.
3. Scan the QR code.

AND VIOLA!
Yours truly won the $200.

It may seem little to you but it is says alot for me.

Because your highness here was never really lucky in lucky draw or contest of any sorts. LOL.

So this came as a pleasant surprise for me. Heh heh.

Anyways, go grab a couple of boxes and try now! Contest ends 31st July! Who knows you may just be the $4000 winner!

Remember it's the packaging that prints "Win $4000" in front!

Good luck!
And TGIF!

Peace out.

Lazy sunday

Look. Look at the glorious yellow sunshine.

And for me, 2 teaspoons of dark soya sauce.

BTW, Yakun's soft boiled eggs are almost always boiled to perfection. They have a certain temperature to follow. 

And finally, their old school toasted bread with kaya and butter spread.

The butter is usually in slices like this.

Sinful but oh-so-yummy. 

Not forgetting their tea. Teh-Si if you will. 

Their tea is different from other similar cafes. 

This tea blends very well with the evaporated milk. Just something that gels them together beautifully. Like a perfect relationship. 

Tip: The most consistant teh-si is from the Marine Parade branch. Sometimes NEX @ Serangoon.

Peace out!

Bread and Butter

HOLA!!! It's FRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

Anyways, I would like to introduce to you this simple all day breakfast set from Hans Singapore.

Now the highlight about this set isn't the scramble eggs.

Sidenote:: if you are residing in sydney or planning to visit sydney, please head to Bill Granger. He spent alot of time perfecting the best scramble eggs. And his scramble eggs are ze best!

Back to Hans. I had the bacon scramble eggs set 2 weeks ago. The scramble eggs were OKAY. Bacon strips were a tad too salty. But the toast! Holy cow! I wouldn't say that they are ze best but it was mmmmmmmmm delish!

There isn't any fancy dressing nor fancy name for the toast. It was just plain white bread, lightly toasted and lightly buttered. There is something about the butter/margarine. I just can't stop eating it.

The fragrance, the smooth texture, the nostalgic taste! There isn't this stale buttery after taste nor overly greasy feeling on your lips that you may have experience at some coffeeshops.

Sidenote 2:: I've never like having bread as entree of any sorts. Even those that I've had at Hilton doesn't entice me to wanna munch them all.

So I thought, "bah.. I'm sure they will not be consistent with the standards. Maybe the next time wouldn't be so yummy anymore".

A couple of days ago, I've decided to pay them another visit.
This time I ordered the sausage scramble eggs set instead.

Rubbing my hands eagerly and proceed to pick up one half of the toast.
Sank my teeth slowly into it. ( not the suarez amazing vampire bites okay?)

HOLY COWWWW!!!
The toast was awesome. Pardon the limited adjectives. My engrish isn't all oxford.
But OMG! *proceeds to gobble up them all*

The toast isn't burnt or overly toasted. They were jusssssttttt nice.
And the fragrance of the butter/margarine/what-ever-magic-that-they-used. *smack lips*

Even for the husband, who isn't at all a bread person (besides burger), thought that the plain ol'buttered toast was great!

Okay. That's all I wanna say about their food. I've yet to try the rest of the menu so I can't comment about them.

And btw, the branch i went was at Changi City Point. I'm not sure if they share the same standards at their other branches.

P.s Please do not curse me if you tried them and find that they don't taste as good as I've described. We all have different expectations. If you are looking for Michelin star standards, maybe this isn't cut out for you.

Peace out.
