Food Tour 61: Great Food Choices (CBD)

Not denying, I really love enjoying a good meal every now and then. Some of the great calories choices I have made recently.

1. Spicy Noodle

Initially, I thought my husband was exaggerating when he said they were good and he had them twice within a span of 1 week when he was in Taiwan. When they finally opened in Singapore, I decided to give it a try. And boy it was good. The noodles were nice and springy and the broth was thick and yummy. It is of my better find. And honestly, who cares about the price! I am definitely going there again!

2. Moon Moon Food

This was another recommendation from the husband and I think it taste way better than Du Xiao Yue (which also hails from Taiwan). I tried their signature spicy sesame noodle and it was not to be missed. It was so good I could finish one on my own. My other favourite was their braised platter. I have never tasted anything so good. I can safely say I will be back for more. 

Apart from that, we also had the soup and a fried rice for the kids. I also tried their grass jelly (combined with black fungus). I quite enjoy it but I don't think it is for all (thicker version of the grass jelly drink). In all, a place to check if you hadn't.

3. Yogurt Planet

Personally, I feel this is not for everyone. But it is my favourite meal/ dessert replacement because I feel it is healthy. Please tell if me if it isn't. You are charged based on the size of the bowl and you can fill it up as much as you want. Part of me always feel like I got a great deal cos I will fill up all the way to the brim. There are a few delicious yoghurt flavours to choose from and lots of toppings  variety, which include fruits. I use it to give my daily fruit intake. :) Some of the toppings are pretty exotic which makes it an interesting treat!

Pacific Emporium - Festive High Tea

We have been to their high tea before and really enjoyed it. Usually, we would go in the weekdays because it is easier to get a "spaceship". This is the first time we tried a weekend slot and I really enjoyed the "buffet style". Unlike before where we will basically be served one of each item, there was no cake tower and we could more of the items we really liked. 

Because it was the Christmas season, we got to enjoy special treats such as the beef wellington, roasted turkey breast and pork roulade. To be quite frank, I never quite fancy these dishes. But maybe it is because I never tasted anything astonishing. The serving here was so good, I ended up having 2 plates of them. 

For those who are particular about presentation, you might be slightly disappointed because there is no fancy cake stand. But I think the quantity of food really make up for it. It is a high tea that fills you up. Also, I love that they had a stand that served prawn noodle soup to warm the tummy. It was actually a great way to chill, and catch up during the festive season. If you want an more affordable buffet, this is a nice place to check out.

Wishing all my readers a very blessed and wonderful Christmas!

Great Christmas Village 2025

With the kids, Christmas is never really complete without a bit of carnival fun (like how the Caucasians celebrate it). And Great Christmas Village does it best. This year, Kiztopia is the main vendor. It was split between outside Ngee Ann City and Shaw House (like prior years). In terms of affordability, this year is much better priced at 6 credits per ride/ game. If you get it via the right platforms groupbuy, each credit is around $0.50

Even if you are not there to spend, there is quite a number of free photo areas which you can stop by to catch some photos and christmas spirit. My little girl was so impressed with the realistic fireplace, she almost tried to touch it. Haha. Both areas either have a tentage up or is within sheltered area. So it's a rain or shine event.

Every year, they would split the attractions between the areas. I prefer the selection at Ngee Ann City. The kids were crazy about the Bouncy Castle and the rides such as the Turbo Twister and Rudolf's Express were really more of my thing. I went around the early afternoon. There was a lesser crowd and because there wasn't anyone mending the rides (I thought they weren't open and went home empty handed).

There were also an area for food and lots of game booths. There were some obvious will-win booth (which are my favourite). I just can't bear going home empty-handed. At the other end, the jolly cruisers and the jolly jumps were favourites with my kids. For the claw machines fanatics, you will find them there. I had great fun and so did they, I might just hit another round there because I've got a great deal (and I will be sharing with you too!)
