San Pellegrino Sparkling Fruit Beverages

IMG_7500ed

All these years I only know of San Pellegrino because of their sparkling mineral water. I have not known that they have a range of Sparkling Fruit Beverages too. The finest lemons and oranges are selected, ripened in the sun of the cast groves of Southern Italy, and then picked by hand at specific harvest time. What is even more interesting is that it has a history dated all the way back to 1932.

The San Pellegrino Sparkling Fruit Beverage comes in 5 different flavours. They are namely Aranciata Rossa, Chinotto, Aranciata, Limonata and the newly introduced Pompelmo "Grapefruit". The Pompelmo is a new released flavour tat contains 16% fruit juice and is made from the finest pure Sicilian grapefruit juice which exhibits a bitter sweet, zesty taste to refresh and quench thirst.

I also noted the little details in the San Pellegrino packaging for the 330ml aluminium can drink. It comes with a exclusive foil cover lid that protects the top of the can from dust and dirt, and is 100% recyclable.

The Sparkling Fruit beverages are all made with only pure fruit juice and natural ingredients with no preservatives.

The radiance of Italian citrus fruits, the sweetness and deliciousness of their juice, and their fragrance are the essential ingredients of San Pellegrino Sparkling Fruit Beverages which is the key to its success.

Sungei Road Laksa (结霜桥叻沙) @ Jalan Berseh

IMG_6128ed

Laksa is one of Singaporean's favourite local hawker dish. It is a noodle dish in curry gravy that you can find in almost every food centres or coffeeshops. However, Sungei Road Laksa (结霜桥叻沙) is probably the only one left that still insists in cooking their laksa gravy over charcoal fire.

When I reached the place, there was already a snaking queue. While I was patiently waiting for my turn, I observed that the little humble actually has a system. First one person with take the order, a second person will add the ingredients to the bowl of noodles and lastly the uncle will cook the bowl of laksa with the gravy.

Laksa 4.5/5

Another unbelievable thing about Sungei Road Laksa is that a bowl of laksa only costs $2. Where to find nowadays with the high cost of living. Actually the portion is quite small. I can easily finish 2 bowls of it at one go. If you think that seems a bit greedy, then upsize and get the $3 bowl.

The laksa here is served with only a spoon. You do not need chopsticks as the thick rice noodles were already cut into smaller strips for easy consumption. The gravy itself was not too lemak and spicy. I also can taste dried shrimps in the gravy, giving it the extra aroma. Topped with slices of fishcake, beansprouts, cockles and laka leaves, this is definitely one of the best laksa I have ever eaten for a long while. It is worth queuing for it.
