Uji Snow 4.2/5

The matcha series feature a variety of authentic matcha beverages made with only the highest grade of matcha powder sourced from Uji. Each cup is hand-whisked to order, with a Japanese ceremonial bamboo whisk till an ethereally-light froth is formed and carefully topped onto the drink, in order to ensure the freshness of each drink served. The Uji Snow ($6.50) comes in a cup of matcha drink layered with fresh milk. Smooth and creamy, the drink boasts a fresh milky body with an authentic flavour of the Uji matcha powder used, presenting a well bitter-sweet balance. The original bobii added has a soft bite with a chewy texture to it. Other variations from the series include the Dawn of Uji ($5.90) a matcha and lemon mix, and Uji River ($4.90) a pure green tea drink as well.

Extraordinary Bubble Milk Tea 4.2/5

The Tea/Au Lait series feature specially curated blends that use single-origin tea leaves to boast an authentic, inimitable fragrance. In addition, only fresh milk is used, resulting in a rich flavour worthy of a tea au lait. One of the drinks from this series – The Extraordinary Bubble Milk Tea ($4.50) comes in a cup of fragrant black tea layered with fresh milk.

Mei Qi Cuttlefish Kangkong.BBQ Seafood @ East Coast Lagoon Food Village - Shiok Sambal Chilli Sauce

Many times whenever my foreign friends come to Singapore, I would bring them to East Coast Lagoon Food Village to try the different local food. There are many stalls in the food centre and one of them is Mei Qi Cuttlefish Kangkong.BBQ Seafood where you can order a variety of cooked dishes.

Sambal Stingray 4.2/5

Many places sells the BBQ Sambal Stingray but what stood out is there sambal chilli which is very fragrant and shiok. The other bonus is the accompanying cincalok dipping sauce. The sharpness of the cincalok sauce brings out the freshness of the fish meat.

Sambal Kang Kong 4/5

The Sambal Kang Kong is a common dish which you can get in every restaurant. I have to say the stall's concoction of sambal chilli is really good and it seems to go well with anything. Love how the greens still retain a crunchy texture. not overcooking it.

Sambal Squid 4.2/5

The Sambal Squid is as good too with the sambal sauce. Coated with the fragrant sambal sauce, the perfectly cooked squid comes with a delightful bite.

Sambal Mussel 4/5

For those that finds the sambal chilli sauce too spicy to handle, the Sambal Mussel may be more manageable. The plump and juicy mussel is bath in a sweet chilli sauce similar to the chilli crab sauce.
