The Capsule Co. - Your 100% Nespresso Compatible Capsule
I am those that needs my caffeine intakes everyday. I can drink up to 4 cups of coffee a day. Recently I got a capsule coffee machine, then did I realize how expensive drinking coffee can be, especially purchasing these capsules. Not anymore when I get to know about The Capsule Co. by Kaaas Enterprise, a local company which imported 100% Nespresso compatible capsules. This is a saving around 30% to 40%.
Although it is 100% Nespresso compatible but how is the quality? The Capsule Co. collaborates with Punto Italia to deliver branded coffee which are roasted according to traditional style of Italian coffee roasting. Instead of the commercial quick roast process of 7 mins at very high temperature, Punto Italia Espresso uses the artisan process of lower temperature and slow roasting of 20 mins to develop and bring out the best properties of the premium coffee beans. A true Italian espresso should not taste 1 dimensional, charred and acidic, but instead it should taste strong yet mellow and with a long lasting aftertaste. The Punto Italia Espresso capsules come with 16% more coffee compared to traditional Nespresso capsules. This allows one to enjoy a richer aroma and velvety crema for the ultimate pleasure of a perfect coffee.
ESPRESSO INTENSO: A blend of the finest Central and South American Arabica and aromatic Robusta from India and Africa, that gives strong character, a strong and fruity aroma typical of the Robusta of these countries. The aftertaste is sweet,refined and persistent, a unique characteristic of the south-central American Arabica. Punto Italia Espresso INTENSO blend is characterized by its chocolaty aroma, full-bodied and intense velvety cream. Contains 60% Arabica and 40% Robusta
ESPRESSO SUPERIORE: A blend of 9 types of fine Arabica from Central and South America renown for their low acidity, delicate and voluptuous aroma with rich and velvety cream. The sweetness and roundness of the refined Arabica make the blend of Punto Italia Espresso SUPERIORE a harmonious, elegant coffee of an outstanding premium quality. Contains 100% Arabica beans.
ESPRESSO DECAFFEINATO: Punto Italia Espresso Decaffeinato is obtained through a natural decaffeination process using inert gases that guarantee a product without caffeine but with all the flavor of the authentic Italian espresso. A blend of refined coffees with a delicate aroma and the particular sweetness of the South-Central American Arabica, make the blend of Punto Italia Espresso Decaffeinato particularly pleasing. Contains less than 0.1% caffeine. Contains 90% Arabica and 10% Robusta.
For non coffee drinkers, you will be glad to know that The Capsule Co. not only imported 100% Nespresso compatibile espresso capsule but also Hot Chocolate and Tea capsules too.
For the Hot Chocolate, The Capsule Co. works with PODiSTA (Australia) which produced the world's first hot chocolate capsules.

Good Chance Popiah (好彩薄饼) @ Jalan Berseh
Good Chance Popiah (好彩薄饼) a heritage brand since 1977, now oversee by the third generation has opened its 2nd restaurant at Jalan Berseh. The 28 years wait has finally been over as Mr Boon Kaichun or also known as Ah Boy, invested and expanded the the family business. Good Chance Popiah now not only offers their signature Do-It-Yourself popiah but also has since expanded their menu offering many delectable cooked dishes.
Popiah 4.5/5
A visit to Good Chance Popiah definitely has to try their signature Do-It-Yourself popiah. I remembered trying their popiah many years ago but I did not enjoy it. However I have changed my mind after re-visiting them last year. It seems like they have fine-tuned the recipe since and it tasted so much better. If you like spicy, the chilli sauce really kick ass. I am told that a total of 7 different ingredients are used to make this pot of flavourful turnip for the popiah.
Salted Egg Yolk Fried Fish Skin 4.2/5
How to resist anything salted egg yolk right? The addictive starter. Salted Egg Yolk Fried Fish Skin with hints of spiciness is a good starter to the dinner.
Special Tofu 4.8/5
The Special Tofu is a must try at Good Chance Popiah, You will be blown away by Ah Boy's latest creation. The cube shaped like special tofu is actually made from the turnip gravy and egg mixture and then deep fried to golden brown. The result is a smooth silky texture that tasted even better than tofu.
Prawn Roll 4/5
Another delectable starter is the Prawn Roll that is stuffed with fresh prawn, minced meat and chestnut. It is really hard to stop at one.
Prawn Paste Chicken 4.2/5
Shrimp paste maybe smelly to some but it is aroma to me. Prawn Paste Chicken has to be one of my favourite zi char dishes and I am glad that this is available in Good Chance Popiah's menu. Crispy on the exterior with the distinct shrimp paste, this is nicely executed with the interior still tender and juicy.
Fish Head Yam Soup 4.5/5
A traditional Hokkien dish, the Fish Head Yam Soup is simmered over slow fire to extract the natural essence of the fish head, yam and cabbage to the pot of comforting and hearty soup. After I tried this dish last year, this is a must order whenever I visit the restaurant.
Salted Egg Yolk Lobster 4.2/5
I called this the dry version of Salted Egg Yolk Lobster. Coated around the bouncy lobster, the savoury and sweetness combination is just simply delicious.
Kong Bak Pau 4.2/5
The Kong Bak Pau or Stewed Pork Belly with Steamed Bun is another traditional dish that Good Chance Popiah has done well too. The flavourful melted in the mouth pork belly paired with the steamed bun is irresistible goodness not to eat it. Dieting can leave to another day.
Braised Pork Trotter Beehoon 4.5/5
Wrapping up our dinner is this bowl of Braised Pork Trotter Beehoon. The beehoon well infused with the pork trotter gravy, was slurping good. This dish may not be of any expensive ingredients but has a comforting and hearty home cooked memories.
I personally find that the food at Good Chance Popiah has improved a lot since I tried them many years ago. If you have not been back to Good Chance Popiah, I would encourage you to do so and give it a try.
