The great smell of freedom is lingering in the air. It's 2 more days to ORD and that's when the true fun begins. At the current moment, sleepovers have become a thing in my life so having meals at the shops near my friends place have been extremely common and normal. So what I'm going to be sharing with you today is this decent Prata shop near my friends place.

Location:



 



Apart from the pratas that are available, food like Nasi Briyani, Roti John and Tissue Prata are some of the other examples that are for sale here. The safe option of purchasing 2 Plain and 1 Egg Prata on the day is more than sufficient to make one satisfied and full.


The Banana Prata that my friend tried has got to be the pick of the bunch. With its enticing appearance and sweet sugary taste, one can truly claim to be happy and satisfied by simply trying out this Prata.

Pricing:


The decent quality of the food is complemented with an acceptable price range on offer. The prices of the Prata and drinks range mainly from $1.50-$3 depending on your food choice. The main courses like Nasi Briyani are much more expensive at a price of around $6.


Ultimately, it is safe to say that I am not a fan of spicy food as I have this habit of sweating a lot when I try them. However, this Prata shop is worth a go again even when I have this annoying reaction to spicy food. It goes to show how highly I rate this stall that is located at river valley.


So with that, Peanut has left another marker on a food place once again.

Stay tuned for more adventures!

My love affair with chocolates started quite some time ago and it is not based plainly on how it can really make me go "wow" - closing my eyes and revelling in the moment as the thick chocolate flavour overwhelms my mouth.

There are many other reasons that create this inconspicuous attachment to it. For one, it reduces stress and also, how the really good ones like Royce chocolate can make me happy if I receive it as a gift just to name another.

Chocolates are tasty but I tend to get bored when I see them most of the time. The reason why is because it is so common to spot and find stalls that sell a whole assortment of common brands like M&Ms and toblerone be it in supermarkets or wholesale stalls like the Cocoa Tree. It makes purchasing chocolates an experience that lacks that bit of spark.

So you must be thinking, what's up with my fascination and constant promotion of chocolates?

Well, I've chanced upon this chocolate stall today that is really unique and worthy of mention right here on my blog.


Stepping foot into the recently unravelled One KM mall at Paya Lebar was a decent experience but what made this experience an eye catchy one was because of this stall. It is named: Chocolate Notes.

From the outside, it does not seem that spectacular but upon a closer look, it sells a whole variety of chocolates that come with interesting designs.


These designs as quoted from the shop owner, changes over time and if there is a season approaching like the current Christmas phase, the stall will be replete with chocolates that reflect that particular festive occasion.


In a sense, it is predictable in that way but it makes you wonder what are the types of chocolates and designs that this stall can come up with.


Ultimately, enjoying tasty food and snacks is both a visual and sensual experience. One cannot do without the other. Pretty and cute designs on chocolates can add further spark to the whole chocolate-consumption experience.


This Chocolate Notes stall ensures that the surprise factor when purchasing chocolates will always be there and it is little wonder that the passers by to this stall are intrigued to look around the stall to find out more about the chocolates on sale.



Good things don't come cheap but the pricing of the chocolates the shop sells are actually reasonable as can be seen from the picture below.


Just to add on, they also provide customization services to the chocolates that make this shop an easy option for getting door gifts or even a simple present for a friend. Customization pricings vary depending on the design and size of the chocolate you request.



Thus far, there are only 2 such stalls in Singapore and I'm quite sure this budding chocolate stall has a bright future ahead of it.

Branches:

201 Victoria Street
#02-55 Bugis+
Singapore 188067

11 Tanjong Katong Road
#02-24 One KM
Singapore 437157

After a really long hiatus of 2 weeks, I'm back again going places. The feeling of not being able to do what you want is simply horrible. Clearing my leaves and offs while being stuck at home nursing my flu and fever....a painful experience indeed. Whatever the case, finally being able to do what I love is such a liberating and exhilarating feeling.

So what in the world am I doing at Redhill today?

1) First and foremost to borrow books to prepare for the next overseas trip and......


2) To try out the quaint café named Butterscotch within close proximity from the library.


Ambience:


For some reason, it just felt great sitting by a table in this café whilst enjoying a hot cup of cappuccino. Furthermore, the warm reception from the staff upon setting foot in this café definitely added further points to the whole experience.


Sitting in this café while reading some soccer articles and the book I borrowed was really comfortable and I definitely enjoyed my time there.


From my observation, it seems like most of the patrons here are mainly the working class that prefer to just sip a warm cup of coffee while enjoying the peace and quietness that this café provides.

Food:


Just as what the café name suggests, the desserts are filled with rich flavours that captures the heart of those that have a sweet tooth especially. A look at their menu and I knew for sure that I had to try this eye catchy looking dish called "Butterscotch Souffle."


And My Oh My did it blow me away.

Wondering what that metal cup content is?

It actually is thick chocolate that goes seamlessly with the soufflé and vanilla ice cream it is served together with. The soufflé would obviously make one feel bloated but the ice cream does a fantastic job to relief the sated experience. This combination along with the thick chocolate allows one to indulge in a flavourful experience that makes this dish full value for its $15 pricing.

Pricing:


Much like the pricing of the Souffle, main desserts cost around $15 whilst Beverages are priced at around $5. The quality of the food and beverages here certainly makes the pricing reasonable and worthwhile.


If I were to choose, I would return to this café for sure. A comfortable all round cafe experience that makes the heart grow fonder.

So with that, Peanut has left a marker on another food place once again.

Stay tuned for more adventures!
