Food Review: Gudetama Cafe!

Gudetamaaaaa~

The epitome of procrastination and sarcasm. :D

So excited when we knew it was opening in Singapore!

Gudetama Cafe Singapore

3 Temasek Boulevard, 

#01-361 Suntec City Mall

Singapore 038983

Opening hours:

Monday to Thursday 9 am to 10 pm

Waited till the crowd died down a little before deciding to go,
cause ain't nobody has time to queue for food after work!
Even so, we still chose a Monday so that we didn't have to risk empty tummies.

潇洒 face cause no long queue bwahahahaha my bimbotic friend.

Actually its damn heng for bimb she didn't have to wait long, 

cause she nearly went nuts hearing the gudetama theme song.

#heythatrhymes

Gudetama is everywhere!

Menu! I like the chalk drawing-esque feel.

Most of the items are breakfast types, ranging about $20 onwards.

Kind of pricey, but for the effort that goes into crafting the dishes, I guess this is expected.

Big Nua Breakfast - $25.90 

2 Sunny side-ups, bacon, pork bratwurst, sauteed mushrooms, salad, and baked beans with brioche.

Bimb tried to request to change the sunnies to scrambled eggs but was rejected.

So she had to 'demarcate the area and remove the tumour' hahahahah 

#lifeofamedtech

I guess the worst part of it all is that.. 

After painstakingly removing the yolks, and eating half of an egg white,

she realised that there was a short hair embedded in the egg white. ughhhhhhhhhhhh!

Got the manager to replace a brand new plate for her and she had to remove yolks again HAHAHAH 

We tried to speculate where the hair could have come from. Arm? Eyelash? Or.. Nostril?! 

#jekarkfriends

"I'm cold" Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict - $26.90

Avocado mash is spread on brioche, and topped with smoked salmon, 2 poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.
and YAY, tater tots and sauteed mushrooms!

Uh it got kind of jelat in the end, cause the avocado and hollandaise combined was overpoweringly creamy.
I'd request for them to skip the avocado, or at least the amount of sauce.

Rib "I don't care" - $28.50

I love the punny name!!
NZ Grass-fed Angus ribeye steak with wild mushroom sauce and Gudetama mash.
Pok says "Doneness is zhun, I asked for medium rare and they got it right.
But it was just above average and not like super omggg damn niceee"

Actually if they could put Gudetama's face on mashed potatoes,
I don't understand why they can't put it on scrambled eggs. :x

Eggcited Cajun Chicken with Waffles - $23.90

Buttermilk waffle with cajun chicken, sunny side up, whipped cream and maple syrup.

Suits Levon cause she was exactly that, eggcited. Like a kid in the toy store.
HAHAH her karma for judging me over Pompompurin Cafe!

We wanted to have the Shoyu Ramen Dessert but it was sold out! 

Ayeeee so sad, but that just means we should come back again heheheh.

Voted and ordered this Gude Pudding - $16.90 to share instead

Caramel pudding was awesomeeeeee, with the right amount of sweetnees, bouncy texture,
like the one we were obsessed over in Korea!
I love the apple crumble bits and the caramelised banana too!
Crispy tuile was a bit too sweet, hahaha.

Grateful for my best buds whom I've grown fatter over the years with. (:

#pokandpok - Staycation 2016!

Again at Wanderlust :D

With the opening of the Downtown line, Wanderlust hotel is now more accessible than before!
3 min walk away to Rochor, 6 min to Little India Station, and 10 min to Bugis station.

This is my second visit, and this time we picked the Pantone room.
Bed was super comfy, and shower facilities were clean.
The shower is separate with the toilet btw, and so is the sink, therefore no fighting ensued :D

Socks & Pans for lunch !

There are always new cafes to try on my list so we usually have no problem with what to eat hahahah.

Socks & Pans

7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza #01-108

Singapore 081007

Opening hours:

Monday to Thursday 11 am to 9 pm 

Friday 11 am to 10 pm

It is located right next to Bingki, my favourite bingsu place!

Which makes it convenient to pop over for desserts, :B

Socks & Pans has an interesting concept that's reflected in their name - Traditional Kopi and Pizza tgt.

So don't expect any fancy schmancy lattes there, just your good ol' kopi teh c siew dai.

The food dishes are the ones with the twist though.

There are your standard pizza flavours, 

and then there's He Bi Hiam, Thai Basil Pork, and Asian Pulled Pork. Like whaaat!

Cannot imagine these on pizzas hahaha.

You can see the menu here!

Show you what attracted us there in the first place..

Baked Mac & Cheese with Soft Egg - $11.10!!

This is really their star attraction.

Mac &Cheese sounds normal enough, 

but S&P throws in crunchy croutons which breaks the creamy texture, hence the dish won't get jelat.

Shreds of bacon inside also lends the dish a punch of flavour.

The soft egg is also optional (top-up $1.20), 

so you can skip it if you're worried that its too rich / cholesterol levels are too high ;p

Pok had their Wagyu Beef Bolognese - $9.90 , which he said was good.

I always feel bad when there's limited options for him but he always insists he is fine. #imsolucky

Caught a movie and then its on to sing k!

Absolute best la, sing until 1 am at Bugis+ then walk back to hotel.

Breakfast buffet at Cocotte is included, which comprises of a main dish,
and free flow cereal, milk, coffee, tea and assorted breads and pastries, till 11 am.
They have Waffle Crisps! Which I had 2 bowls each morning #fatdieme

The mess of melty looking sauce is my Eggs and Kale Benedict. #omnomnom

Whose breakfast is better uncle? 

Is that why you have your game on face? HAHAH.

Planned a totally different 'itinerary' from the last time - yay we're finally going Adventure Cove!
Previously I kept postponing AC visits because I didn't want my freshly dyed red hair to fade HAHAH.
Even though I'd look like Ariel in the water, I'd rather keep the color for longer.
But aiya now cannot vibrant liao, so doesn't matter anymore T.T

Adventure Cove is like an upgraded version of www, with more thrilling rides!

Pok's favourite is the Duelling Racer - we went 4 times because there wasn't much of a queue.

Weekday perks hahahah

My favourite was the Riptide Rocket - Southeast Asia's first hydro-magnetic roller coaster!

Poor Pok didn't know what was in store, and he freaked out on the ride HAHAH.

There was a series of ups and drops so he was screaming all the way.

#uncoolboyfriend

Other than that, you have www favourites like Blu Water Bay, a tsunami pool,

And Adventure River, which is a prettier version of Shiok River in www.

Seriously I loveeeee the grottos, which are lit in brilliant blue (not cresyl) light, 

which makes me feel like a legit mermaid,

and the sections where it overlapped with the marine life aquariums.

We were lucky enough to spot some dolphins too!

The Bay Restaurant within the park allows you to enjoy your meals overlooking the park scenery..

But of course the main point is.. 

It is opposite another locker and showers area which is less crowded HAHAH.

SO MY DEAR FRIENDS READING THIS.
If you ever go AC, dont dump your stuff into the first locker and shower area near the entrance.
Walk all the way in, so it's less crowded, and you can gao dim everything then head out comfortably.

Are we almost the same tone yet? 

Night is still young, and so are we!

Last night out cannot go back so early LOL.

Went for i Light @ Marina Bay despite running around the whole day hahahah.

Started walking from Raffles Place mrt exit.

One of my favourite installations - it feels like contemp dance x light.

This was one of my favourites too !

Its an interactive installation - you use your phone to 'send' elements onto the display,

so it's always changing, depending on what different users combine at that point in time.

Tranquil moments like this with Pok makes me feel so blessed (:

Food Review: Pokemon Cafe

Better share this before its over! :x

Pokémon Cafe - in collaboration with EwF - is at Bugis Junction from 27th May to 31st July.

Ahh, brings back the memories of us glued to our Game Boys trying to win all the gyms in the Kanto region.

I actually got as far as the Elite Four but died at Lance's hand :x

The game is so different now, with all the running shoes and whatnot.

Selfie with #buddingyeast! :D

Anyway, we went on a Friday, and the queue wasn't too bad. Around 1.5 hour?

Not as bad as the 5 hour wait on opening day hahah.

Menu was presented to us - order first while waiting for your table.

Eh but honestly saying, that didn't cut down waiting time by much. 

We still had to wait around 20 mins for the food after getting seated.

4 mains, 4 desserts, 4 drinks. 1 takeaway item.

Only 2 mains were available at the time, meh.

Bwahahah Bimb's Pika-Bf. 

The only 'live' Pikachu we saw - meh, no mascot.

EwF's service staff do it right - they are friendly, and they know the menu well when questioned.

I'm quite ley chey - can't eat beef or mutton, so I had to know what's in the sauce.

The waiter answered me quite patiently.

Ahh so cute the Pikachu couple as waiter and waitress!

Fun fact: Female Pikachus' tail end in a heart shape. <3 p="">

No food yet so cute placemat first!

This two guys bring it to a whole new level on Instagram-worthy.

Dining buddies!

Special Move "Fire Blast"! Primal Groudon's Bolognese - $20

The Pokéball is a fried egg, slathered with tomato sauce and detailed with seaweed.

It's sitting atop beef bolognese, with two slices of bread.

Quite a weird dish, I mean, was it meant to be a deconstructed hamburger..?

Pok didn't know where to start, hahaha.

Pikachu Smiling Rice Omelette with Magma Sauce - $25

I think the rice is alright - plain old saffron rice, but omg tomato sauce does NOT go well with it. 

The Magma sauce is some coconut milk thingy, sorta like laksa without the spice. 

Most disappointing of all is the egg i guess. It is your nasi lemak kind of egg.

Bimb was telling me not to think like that, if not we would have paid $25 for a plate of nasi lemak. :x

But REALLY. Pikachu looks like it got hit by a water gun rather than smiling :/

Pikachu's Sweeeeet Pancake - $20

This was actually yummy. Pancake is chewy, and the tail is made of biscuit.

And we arrived at a conclusion.

Have your dinner somewhere else and only have the desserts here. Hahaha.

Yes yes, we know not to expect much from a themed cafe, we can still have a shred of hope.
There is actually a lot of potential dishes for a Pokemon theme - I mean, just look at Japan's.
And coming from EwF, which makes really yummy food.. This was really sad.

I don't want to say anything else about the photobooth and the staff's photography skills either. Hahaha.
