A Slice of Revolution

Roaming the streets on lesser known parts of Singapore, my usual walk from Bugis to Dhoby Ghout and vice verse, if I'm too lazy to take the train. I chanced upon this place called Slice - the Pizza Revolution at PoMo, along the same stretch as TCC. It was about 7.30pm and I was looking for a place to have dinner with my girlfriend.

We didn't plan to go there but what drew us in was their poster of the sun-dried tomato with fetta cheese pizza. However, to my disappointment, they ran out of sun-dried tomatoes and I resorted to the next best alternative, which were Pepperoni Power & Salmon Rocket. Not point trying something common, when you have an opportunity to try something unique.


It was like a fast food setting, where you ordered your own food, and collect it when its ready. Table and chair layout were similar to that of Subway (also located downstairs). But what made it unique was their décor, the walls and counter were plastered with popular figures of the modern world, some for the right reasons and other for controversial reasons.

Now for the food, our Pepperoni Power (below) came first and it was slightly over cooked, with the sides a little too brown. Thankfully it was just pepperoni and I guess a few seconds more in the oven wouldn't hurt. The taste of the pepperoni was not very strong, I would liked if it had a fuller body, to pack a punch and remind me of what I'm eating.

As for the Salmon Rocket (above), it came soon after and it a relatively generous amount of smoked salmon with rocket (vegetable). I'm guessing that the dough was cooked with the tomato paste and then the salmon and rocket were added, to avoid ruining the natural smoky flavour of the smoked salmon.

Basil Tomato Soup
To accompany the pizzas, we topped us a set, a soft drink and soup. We only had a 'choice' of tomato basil soup, as the other two potions were sold out. Hint of advice, is to come earlier if you do not want to limit your choice.

The Exterior of the Shop
Overall the place is a nice find, where you can even take away you pizza - they have a take-away ordering section, just like a car-drive through but a walk-through in this case. They display their pizza in those displace fridges, usually used in bakeries and confectioneries, funny seeing uncooked pizzas in them though. There in lays their secret to how they are able to churn out the pizzas so fast. After ordering, the remove the earlier prepared pizza from the display and into the oven. The other secret is their dough, for it is thin and similar to a biscuit texture, so takes a shorter time to cook. It is a nice combination for the 'lack-of-time' working Singaporean needing to grab a bite quick. But being an Italian food person, I would be more than happy to sink my teeth into a thick chewy cheesy dough.

 Thanks to my girlfriend for the wonderful photos. ;p

Review: Kiasu Espresso @ 100 AM

Image
It seems that Singaporeans are increasingly searching for a good coffee fix all day long. No longer are the Starbucks and Coffee Bean sufficient to quench the thirst of a coffee addict. Many stalls are not coming up with their own coffee drinks and adapting their marketing strategy to suit the market. Rightly so, as I paid a visit to Kiasu Espresso, a branch-off from the popular 40 Hands in Tiong Bahru. Only a few days old and already popular with the working crowd in Tanjong Pagar and in the coffee circles. The owners still making plans of adjusting the fixtures and fittings in the shop. The concept is targeted at people who do not have to time to sit and chat but want their coffee fix. Friendly staff greets potential customers at the entrance of the shop, with the espresso machine behind them. The interior is a little hard and lack the cosy warmth feeling when one says the word ‘café’, but it suits the concepts of a take-away coffee joint well. I had the  café

Review: Chock Full of Beans

Image
Interestingly popular place despite the distance from the city. Filled with the average working crowd you would expect in town, you can find them at Chock Full of Beans during the lunch hours. Attracted by the appealing set lunch ranging from $12 to $14, for a main and a drink or a soup, is not too bad of a choice, especially if the drink is of premium coffee. An average size shop, like any other along the Changi Village shops, the owners make full utilise the space by offering al fresco dining. Quite a number will be sitting outside, for 2 reasons. Firstly because they have been in the office for too long and want to defrost, and secondly because there is no other space. We ordered the BBQ Pork Sandwich ($12) and the Salmon Penne ($14). The lunch sets come with either a soup or a drink. We took one of each, Mushroom Soup and a Café Latte. Food didn’t take very long to come despite the full house. Latte came first, then the soups and the mains, as expected.

My Attempt at Baking

Image
It's the season of Christmas and that gives me more time to indulge in food. But besides eating, there is much fun and joy in making it too. So i decided to make a Marble Cheese Cake. It turned out to be easier than I expected. Mine was a little too watery and so I reduced the about of eggs into the recipe below. So here's how I did it. 1. In a plastic bag, crush 140g of diguestive biscuits until fine and add about 1 tbs coco powder, not too much or it'll taste bitter. Add soften butter (50g) into the crushed bicsuits till it sticks to each other. 2. Beat the cream (1 tube of Philadephia cream cheese) until soft, but not too much. Add 2/3 cups of fine sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tbs vanilla extract and 2/3 cup of heavy cream and mix well. 3. Remove 1/3 of the mixture into another bowl and add melted chocolate into it. 4. Line a baking tin with the crushed biscuits so that it forms a crush and pour the plain mixture into the tin. 5. Add spoonfuls of chocolate mixture into the plain mix
