I think Thai food has gotta be one of my highly sought after food almost ALL the time.
The beef noodles soup, minced pork meat with basil leaf (my favourite outta all!), phad thai and thai olive rice are totally to-die-for,
and at the rate im feasting on these, i think i might spend money to attend cooking lessons and learn to cook thai food one day. heh
So I am constantly around in Singapore searching for thai food and I think to those of you guys who are great fans of thai food as well (ok or food),
i will share my favourite places, def not as comprehensive as food blogs, but i do think i'm quite a foodie as them muahaha.
anyways, i came back to this place called Jane Thai Food @ orchard towers (yes, all the thai girls with Caucasians walking around, yes yes.. kinda sleazzyyyy) for thai food,
but didn't think minced pork with basil was as good as the first time.
Still, i think i might go back again to give it another try cuz some of the dishes were indeed quite good.
One thing good is, they operate to 4AM!!!
for the club crowd, but well, if you are around town and wanna have supper but sick of rochor tau huay or stingray etc,
you know where else u can go!
But some of you guys might not like it, cuz its situated right in front of a club,
smoky and quite a view of thai girls with curvacious figure walking around..
here's june love it everytime we catch up, tonnes to talk from A-Z.
and thai ice milk tea is a must have too!

Have you gotten your mooncake?!
Im totally not a fan of mooncakes, cuz lotus paste or egg yolk aint my favourite thing as well.
But i love snow skin, so it's a good thing now mooncakes are accompanied with different flavours than just lotus paste and yolk.
I heard raves about the Champagne Truffle Mooncake from Raffles Hotel since last year and i make it a point to try it this year.
Hurhur and I went to the Takashimaya MoonCake fair specially to get that but just to realise that they didn't list their mooncakes there this year.
So we went round searching for champagne truffle mooncake, (ok, since i can't get to try the raffles hotel ones, we decided to try another brand)
and found similar exact flavours from Jewels Artisan Chocolate booth.
I suppose they specialise in chocolate, so it shouldn't be too far away from the raffles brand,
so hurhur got a box of 8 for me.
We were allowed to mix any 5 of their flavours, but i mixed four only as I don't think i'm a great fan of korean black garlic (which was the 5th choice).
it's a box of 8 mini mooncakes.
Champagne truffle.
I thought it was pretty good, the champagne taste is obvious but not too much,
and after a few seconds of savoring it, you can taste the blend of truffle gradually.
Good work, though the skin could be a lil more chewy than powdery!
Dark chocolate crunchy pearls.
Definitely crunchy, but oops, this has the most lotus paste in it,
so i wouldn't comment much on this cuz im not a fan of lotus paste.
Espresso Truffle flavour.
This is my second favourite, love the bittersweet taste of the espresso taste!
Salted Caramel.
okay, nuff said with just its name.
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE!
A box of 8 mini snowskin mooncakes from Jewels Artisan Chocolate costs around $43 if I am not wrong.
if you are interested to get them, head down to Taka mooncake fair or visit their outlet:

Hi Beatrice,
You’re so right! The raffles hotel one is THE Best mooncake around..nothing else comes close. I’ve had it for the last 5 years and every year I only buy it..worth the money!
oh dear i really trust u! but i missed it this year!! next year! thanks dear!
At certain angle, you really look like Fann Wong. I’m sure I’m not the first one to say this.
really?! aha i like her cheekbones! yeah, last time people told me that, flattered!
I have tried the Champagne Truffle Snow Skin Mooncakes from Raffles Hotel and i must say that they are pretty good. I would have preferred the champagne flavor to be stronger though. The overall quality is commendable but its not something i’d raved about.
The salted caramel snow skin from Jewels looks awfully good! Is that Salted Caramel i see in the truffle?
ah icic, would really have to try the champagne truffle from raffles next year! yes! its salted caramel, every thing salted caramel is soooo good!
