Twentysevenbyrachel's cookies

I have a sweet tooth and I'm not ashamed to admit so, and coupled with a favourite baker...you bet I have been ordering regularly.

Consistency is key at Twentysevenbyrachel's, and it still amazes me how every order is just so good. Blimey.

Lychee Chiffon, Yuzu Macarons, Salted Egg kisses and Hae Bee Hiam cookies which I clearly forgot to blog about.

Slowly but surely I'll check everything off her menu but cookies are my biggest weakness to date and it is a losing battle fighting calories particularly for her cookies.

Rose, Lychee, Raspberry Sables 

These on description reminded me of Crabtree and Evelyn's Lychee Rose cookies and bore slight semblance to the famed ispahan. Rose and lychee hints with crumbly sugar crusted cookie studded with raspberries. The pink hue made this girlish and sucha dainty treat for tea. I really need proper chinabone ware to complete the picture. .

All of 280 grams was so easy to polish off, in a single seating no less.

Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Melting Moments

Onto the dark side I headed with these meticulously piped rosettes. If not for the fact these are melting moments like their names suggest, their shapes would hold up alot better than they already do. Barely sweet, infact intense chocolate with fleeting moments of savoury and then the melting moment is gone.

Chocolate Crack

These are like famous amos' double chocolate cookies but better. Sweeter than the dark chocolate and sea salt melting moments, I foresee this a hit with the kids especially!

I'm highly likely not to look at cookies the same way again, nor be tempted by the store bought ones (save for limited editions which remain sucha soft spot). Till then, I am looking forward to the next order...!

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
