Thye Hong Wisma Atria Food Republic - Lady M

Dropped my IPhone, yet again today, to reveal the black screen of death. Incredibly upset. Lifted my mood by bringing a friend who's on a Singapore work trip to relish in some cheap local delights.

Dinner: 
Thye Hong at Food Republic Wisma Atria


Char Kway Teow


Oyster Omelette


Prawn Mee



I found this gem while working at Wisma Atria Isetan's Samantha Thavasa a few years back, and have been frequenting it whenever I returned to Singapore for the summer break. This is also why I realised the store has been incrementing their prices every year. The store serves simply 3 dishes - Prawn Mee, Char Kway Teow and Oyster Omelette, which are all their specialties. We ordered all of them and were advised a 12 minute wait. All the dishes are so flavorsome, especially my favourite Prawn Mee. The noodles literally soaks all the condiments, it's gratifying. One con is that the prawns are not fresh and the sand veins remains attached. There is a vast disparity between the small and medium sizes, even though it is about a $2 difference. The medium size seems catered for 2, although I gobbled the whole plate myself.

Lady M's Menu


Signature Mille Crepe and Green Tea Mille Crepe



Returning to Lady M! The mille crepes are too good! We wanted to try the Chocolate Mille Crepe, only available at the Orchard Central outlet, but it was sold out by the time we were there at 9pm. Tried the Green Tea Mille Crepe this time, the taste of matcha oozing from the cream sandwiched between the layers of crepes. Heavenly. Dined in this time and the service was rather slow. A 15 minute wait for the change on the bill - we sincerely hoped we paid the exact amount so we could simply leave. If not for the waitress maintaining a good demeanor, I would probably be sitting there stoned and pissed.

Soup Stock Tokyo - Lady M

It's been a long time since I blogged.

Returning to Singapore made me realise how much Singapore has developed throughout the years. I would say the recent most commendable change is its food/entertainment. I did find this aspect lacking very much which partially spurred my decision to move to Hong Kong in the future.

A great catch up with a great friend who always stood by me throughout the years. We decided to head over to dine at Somerset.

Dinner:
Soup Stock Tokyo at Somerset 313


Saba Minestrone Soup with Brown Rice and Iced Tea

$10.80 for a soup and rice set, with an additional $1 for a drink. What a deal! I hate the fact that restaurants list their prices without gst or other miscellaneous charges, leaving me bewildered and my wallet poorer. This shop doesn't, making it all worth. Was kinda expecting a huge chunk of saba in the soup, but it was mostly minced and blended within the soup. Nonetheless I am a huge fan of soups and I really liked it! Can't wait to try the Hokkaido crab bisque soup next.

Lady M Cakes Selection

Proceeded for dessert at Lady M subsequently, and was expecting the crepe cakes to be sold out by the time we get there. Everyone is probably queuing for Llao llao to be interested in cakes. That queue seemingly looked like it consisted of 30 to 40 people? I reckon when a nitrogen ice cream shop opens its first outlet in Singapore, that queue will be dismissed.


Lady M Signature Mille Crepes

The interior of Lady M was exceedingly posh and clean, which really enticed me to dine-in at the store. However, we had takeaway to avoid the 10-person queue as there were decent seating at the basement of Orchard Central. As we were about to savour it, we realised we made the wrong order for the signature mille crepes instead of the green tea mille crepes. Pity, but we were not disappointed at all! It did taste like crepes plus creme, but the combination was perfect. Will definitely be heading there again soon to try the green tea mille crepes!
