Rock & Ash @ Novena Square 2

This is Rock & Ash third outlet and it is located at the basement of Novena Square 2, conveniently accessible via Novena MRT station. Coincidentally my friends and I were there on their first day of opening. What make Rock & Ash Cafe unique is its specially made to order crispy fries and wide selection of sweet, savoury and spicy homemade dips. The cripsy fries come in 3 sizes at the price of $3.90, $4.90 and $5.90.

I had the Crispy Fries with Power Garlic Mayo dip. The garlic taste from the dip was strong but not over powering.  It actually is a good combination. The fries were good and I can feel that there were thoughts into the size of the fries so that it can be accompanied with the dip.

I also like the selection of burgers available at the cafe. After much consideration, I settled for the Minty Yogurt Lamb Burger since I don't usually find lamb burger being sold at most cafe.

The Minty Yogurt Lamb Burger came with fries on the side too. The size of the burger was just right and can be easily handled with both hands. The lamb patty was nice with some yogurt sauce on top of it.

My friends had the Fish & Chips and the Grilled Chicken.  The fish was nicely cooked with the golden brown crust. The fish itself was bland in flavour but when eaten with the lemony sauce it was very flavouring. We only wished that there were more sauce as the fish fillet was quite big.

Fish and Chips 3.5/5

The Grilled Chicken came with salad and mashed potato sides. The mashed potato was smooth and good. Unfortunately the black pepper sauce was too salty. Since it was there first day of opening, the kitchen probably still need some fine tuning of their menu.

Li Fang Zhou Pin (麗芳粥品) @ Albert Centre Market & Food Centre

I was wondering around Albert Centre Food Centre thinking what to eat for dinner and I noticed a lot of people having congee that was served in styrofoam bowl. I started looking for the stall and found it tucked at a corner with a long queue.

I looked up the web and I realized that Li Fang Zhou Pin (麗芳粥品) has several branches around the island. There was a stall at ABC Brickworks Food Centre and another at Yuhua Market and Hawker Centre. Unfortunately I am not able to verify which is the original stall.

The congee was pretty good. I thought it was a wise idea to serve in styrofoam bowl. What I don't understand is for takeaway, the stall used plastic bowl instead for an additional 20 cents.

I had the Congee in Boat Style which is basically congess with sliced fish, cuttlefish, chives and peanuts. The congee was smoothy and not watery. It also came with Youtiao (油条) which was crisp and warm, giving a final toast on the grill before serving.

Congee in Boat Style 4.2/5
