Streets Cafe Restaurant @ IMM

Streets Café Restaurant - 街头茶餐厅 has a few branches located in different area of Singapore. Eg, IMM Jurong, Bukit Panjang Plaza, City Square Mall and etc. As we are going to IMM to grab some stuffs and it's around lunch time, we decided to get our lunch in this Hong Kong style cafe.

Although this is not my first time patronise a Hong Kong Style cafe, but it is rather my first time visiting this Streets Cafe. There are not many tables being occupied despite of nearly to lunch hours. After scanning through the menu, we settle for the following drinks and main dish. Their Ice Milk Tea is serve using a very special cup which look sort of like a jar but with handler. But the taste of the milk tea is kind of average which compare to even our local coffee shop standard milk tea.

I love the combination of Mango and Pomelo, so while looking at the drinks column, my attention was being caught with this "Ice Blended Mango Pomelo". Before this drink is being served, I actually think of it to be serve on a bowl with shaved ice and mango puree which sort of like our local dessert, "Ice Ka Chang". But when the drink is served, I was totally amazed by it's attractive and colourful combination. This is indeed another great way to try this famous Hong Kong dessert.

Their "Beef Hor Fun with Gravy" comes in a big serving plate with everything mixed together. So on the glance of it, you might feel "Errrrrrr" what is this? Or maybe I can put it as the presentation of the dish is not very good, the look of it makes the dish look like a plate of mixed vegetable dish rather than Stir-fry Beef Hor Fun....... But thankfully, the taste is still good and the beef are still tender to taste.

The Ying Yang Baked Rice came with 2 sauces which is the white sauce and tomato sauce. The sauce split right in the middle and topped with generous amount of Mozzarella Cheese. The texture of the rice was just nice, but we think the taste of the sauce can be improve much better.

Toast Box - Afternoon Tea

Toast Box is one of the owns a chain out outlets under the Breadtalk group. It is established in December 2005 as a food stall unit in Food Republic, at Wisma Atria in Orchard area. Within a few years, Toast Box has expanded with more than 20 outlets in Singapore and expanded overseas outlets in Malaysia, Philippines, China, Thailand and Hong Kong.

No matter at what time of the day, you can start of with a fragrant cup of Nanyang Kopi, crispy-grilled thick toast and soft-boiled eggs. Or you can have your choice for Nasi Lemak, Mee Siam or Laksa. If you feel like having a relax tea-time on some light refreshment in the afternoon, you can choose from Traditional Kaya Toast, Banana Cake or some Colonial Tea Cakes that made from fresh buttercream, and topped with succulent fruits which will satisfy your taste buds.

Since we just wanted to have something light for Tea-Snack, we decided to get one of the Peanut Toast Set which serves together with a cup of freshly brew coffee, 2 large soft-boiled egg and a slice of 2.5cm thick toast which is crusty on the outside and heavenly soft inside. The toast is spread with a generous amount of peanut butter coating which goes well with the thick toast. This is really a good energy revival snack for a tiring afternoon of shopping day........

We also get a slice of this homemade Banana Cake because I am attracted by it soft and moist outlook. Banana Cake use to be one of my favourite tea-snack during my secondary days so having a slice of this with coffee really brings back a lot of my school days memories. But if you are looking for those moist or full of banana fragrance texture outcome then this cake might not suits your taste but it is more towards the light version.

Pinnacle @ Duxton

Finally the long waiting months are over, the Pinnacle @ Duxton along Cantonment Road is now ready for keys collection for majority of the residents. The Pinnacle, consists of seven connected towers labelled 1A to 1G and each tower is 50 storeys in height. And guess what, the unit that we are going to view today is located at level 45.............

Here are some views which we can see from the inside of the apartment. Staying in the city area, especially near the CBD area is totally different from what we used to have. I guess the most happiest of all is my brother who has waited for the completion of this flat for more than 5 years...... :)

All seven buildings are linked at the 26th and 50th floors by Sky Bridges forming a jogging track and sky garden which is a feature that is unique for public housing in Singapore. These are some of the views at level 50 of the sky bridge. Residents will have the access card to the sky bridges area while public need to pay an admission fees in order to access these viewing area.

Other facilities include a food centre, daycare centre, underground carpark and other sports and recreational facilities in the upcoming months. These are some photo(s) of the underground carpark which is still under some mini construction.
