BK Steakhouse Burger

Recently BURGER KING has launched a new menu where patrons can enjoy a steakhouse dining experience at majority of their outlets island wide. With the new Loaded Steakhouse Burger and Steakhouse Burger, beef lovers would able to discover a new level of satisfaction in a premium steak dinner at lower cost.

A few days ago after passing some souvenir to friends in town, we decided to grab some quick lunch before heading off to some  Christmas Shopping in Orchard area. And since we are around Dhoby Ghuat area, my boy suggests that we could have BURGER KING at Plaza Singapura for lunch. So guess what we ordered!

Yes!!! After scanning through their menu and tossing between the two "NEW" launched Burgers, we finally settle for this "Steakhouse Burger" that comes with the following ingredients:-

New Steakhouse Burger

- 4” Corn-dusted premium bakery Bun
- Premium Angus Beef Patty (4 Oz), flame-grilled
- A.1. ® Thick and Hearty Steak Sauce
- Crispy Onions
- American Cheese (2 slices)
- Creamy Mayonnaise
- Crunchy Lettuce and Red Ripe Tomatoes (2 slices)

Price: S$5.95 for Ala Carte 
Price: S$7.95 meal set (comes with medium fries/onion rings and medium soft drink)


But if you are looking for something more filling and without vegetables topping such as lettuce and tomato, perhaps you can consider the "Loaded Steakhouse Burgers" that comes with similar ingredients compare to Steakhouse Burgers except they replace the veggie with extra Turkey Bacon and the creamy Mashed Potato Spread.

New Loaded Steakhouse Burger

- 4” Corn-dusted premium bakery Bun
- Premium Angus Beef Patty (4 Oz), flame-grilled
- A.1. ® Thick & Hearty Steak Sauce
- Crispy Onions
- American Cheese (2 slices)
- Turkey Bacon (4 ½ slices)
- Loaded with creamy Mashed Potato Spread

Price: S$6.95 for Ala Carte 
Price: S$8.95 meal set (comes with medium fries/onion rings and medium soft drink)


Other than the two choices above, you could also enhance your burger by adding extra ingredients shown below to build your own personal preference.

- Extra premium Angus beef patty (4 Oz)- $3.00
- Extra crispy onion - $0.50
- Extra A1 Thick and Hearty Steak Sauce - $0.50
- Loaded mashed potato Spread- $0.80

While taking my orders the friendly serving staff at the counter also recommend me to try this new "Funnel Cake Sticks" which cost  much cheaper as an add-on for any value meal purchased. Each box comes with 9 bite-size dough sticks that are fried to crispy golden brown then dusted with icing sugar. To be honest these dough sticks are indeed very addicting while having it warm and it taste similar to those sugar donut texture. I would suggest  you could  order a cup of  the premium coffee to go with these for afternoon tea snack.
Price: S$1.95 per box (as an add-on item) or;
Price: S$2.95 per box (as A la carte)

Note:

Steakhouse Burgers and Funnel Cake Sticks are available for limited time only from 02 December 2010 – 12 January 2010 at all outlets except Escape Theme Park and Singapore Polytechnic.

In fact, BK takes this irreverence to the next level by collaborating with Sheikh Haikel (Rapper, Artiste, DJ, Host, BK Fan), who is the perfect embodiment of BK’s idea of fine dining. Sheikh has specially remixed his latest hit “Still Steady” (from his latest rap album 10.10.10) for BK, entitled “BK Still Steady”, to promote the Steakhouse Burgers too.

Comfort Food At Ease

Isn't this look great for a modern  Tingkat set? We love these bright "Yellow" Tupperware which comes in handy for all occasions. Whenever I took out this set from the kitchen pantry my boy would be jumping in joy because he knew that we are going for a "Tapau" trip again. Guess what we have bought in it and where we are heading for our lunch?

My boy loves to go picnic at the beach but sometime if beach is not accessible during gloomy weather or etc we would choose to go somewhere near our area together with some packed food. With a different eating environment at outdoors it actually helps to increase the appetite of kids as well. And moreover they would be delighted to have some outdoor activities before the meal too.

  Since my mum was around with us during last weekend, my boy suggested that we shall have lunch at one of the nearby playgroup so that he could play the swing before lunch.

With this multi-function Eco Tapau set Tupperware it actually makes our usual picnic more convenient because I could get different combination of food without afraid that the soup or dessert would leak out. The airtight cover and “Grip-n-Go” Cariolier actually helps to secure the containers firmly too.

Out of the 3 containers, I am in love with this Big Crystalwave Bowl (2 Litres) which is great for packing food soupy food. This container comes in 3 different portions such as the airtight cover with vent cap, big soup bowl and a noodle holder. In this way the noodles and ingredients placed on the noodle holder which is separate from the soup in order to retain its’ freshness and texture of the noodles. And with this container mum can enjoy her "Kuah Tiao Soup" which still taste warm and fresh even after 30 minutes of tapau time.


With this set of Tapau containers we could always enjoy fresh and warm food even during our picnic day. I am sure some of you might have seen the advertisement on these containers which could be useful in a way in long run. And if you are interested to know more about it, you can take look at their website at: ”http://www.tupperware.com.sg/”. Or contact your nearest Tupperware outlets shown below:-

Oven Baked Fried Chicken Bento

Pin It

Do you like fried chicken? I am sure most of you would rise up your hands and say yes. Recent years there so many fast food outlets such as "KFC", "Wendy", "Popeye Chicken" and etc selling fried chicken. And there are also frozen Fried Chicken that is available in the local supermarkets too. In this post, I would like to share with you some tips and ideas on how I made use of some CP Fried Chicken (Original Flavour) to prepare this cute little "Chicky Bento".

Fried Chicken is one of my boy's favourite deep-fried finger food that I would always prepared from scratch using chicken wings, seasoning, flour batter and etc. But with this CP Fried Chicken that can be easily grab from any supermarket it actually shorten my time on preparing these deep-fried stuffs for the family.

  The CP Fried Chicken (Original Flavour) are coated in a specially light and crispy batter that stays crispy on the outer skin even after 30 minutes or more. I choose the oven baked method to prepare these chicken as I find it more healthier than deep-fried with oil. To assemble the bento, here are the ingredients and steps:-

Ingredients:

1 Bowl of Cooked Rice
2 - 3 Pieces of CP Fried Chicken
1/4 Japanese Cucumber, cut into long sticks
1/4 Carrot, peeled outer skin cut into long sticks
Some Lettuce Leaves, optional
Some Fresh Fruit of Your Choice

Method:

1. Place the fried chicken in the oven toaster and toast it for about 15 – 20 minutes, turn occasionally to prevent it from getting burnt.
2. While waiting for the chicken to be done, cut the Japanese cucumber and carrot into long veggie sticks as side for the bento.
3. Assemble the bento accordingly; you can place the fried chicken (if too big pieces for the kid, you could cut it into bite size) together with the veggie sticks in a container.
4. Drizzle some roasted black sesame seeds on the rice if you preferred.
5. Serve the bento set with cut fruits immediately or packed it for your outing.


Do you want to have a piece of these "Mickey" face cutout dragon fruit for after meal dessert? I am sure most of the Disney fan kids would love this special treat which would change their mindset on eating fruits.To make this cute cutout from the dragon fruit you would need to have the mickey ring cutter shown HERE.(1st photo of the post)

Don't worry if you don't possess any of these bento items, you could always start off by using some simple tools that are available at Daiso (S$2 shop) or even some online bento site such as New Stylish Tokyo (http://www.nst.my/), Bento Craft (http://bentocraft.com/) and etc.
