Indian Taste Hunter @ Telok Blangah Drive Food Centre

It was a lazy Sunday morning when I went down to Truly Curry Rice to check out their new breakfast beehoo set at Telok Blangah Drive Food Centre that I chanced upon Indian Taste Hunter, a few stalls further down.

Firstly a notice a short queue at the stall. As I approached the stall I noticed a lady behind the small premise cooking the apom. What caught my attention is the freshly made Apom and I could not resist joining the queue to order one to try.

Apom 4.2/5

The a la minute Apom ($1.10) was thin and crispy on the edges while the middle is soft and fluffy. The indian fermented rice pancake is a delightful snack to be eaten together with some sugar and grated coconut topping.

Besides the Apom, the humble little stall also sells other Indian delights too. I do not have the stomach to try the other items after a heavy meal at Truly Curry Rice. I will be back to try more of the items. For now, Indian Taste Hunter definitely has made themselves into my listing for one of the better apom hunt.

Nunsongyee Korean Dessert Cafe @ Burghley Lifestyle Hub (Serangoon Garden)

Korean Bingsu seems to be the latest craze in town with almost daily posting of this towering snowflake dessert from various bingsu places over the island. It so happened that I was in the vicinity of NunSongYee at Serangoon Garden and I popped by to check out what the craze is all about.

Choco-Banana Bingsu 4.5/5

There was like nine different of varieties of the Korean snowflake ice selections on the menu. I did have a hard time deciding which to go for but eventually settled on the Choco-Banana Bingsu ($13.90). The servicing is actually huge and is good for sharing.

Choco-Banana Bingsu 4.5/5

The Choco-Banana Bingsu comes topped with slices of fresh banana, coco powder, roasted almond, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some extra milk to be poured over the ice mountain

As you see from the photo, the shaved ice has a very soft texture, so light and soft as snowflake. Infused with milk, it gave the ice a creamy sweet texture. Unintentional I discovered another way to enjoy the bingsu. When the snowflake ice, infused with milk melted and mixed with the coco powder, it becomes milo!

After trying the bingsu from Nunsongyee Korean Dessert Cafe, I have to admit I do enjoy it. Besides the fresh ingredients, the shaved ice plays an important part of a good bingsu. At Nunsongyee, the ice is light, soft almost snowflake like texture.
