Something New

[Food Review]

Hi. Its been a long time since I did a food review. This time round its a brand/restaurant that everyone is familiar with. McDonald's.

Ever since I was a kid I ♥ McDonald's that I had their chicken McNuggets almost every single day. As I grew older, I tend to like something with more flavor such as McSpicy. I still remembered clearly that McDonald's used to sell something like Nasi Lemak which costs only $3++ or so. Many don't remember but that product had been stuck to my mind since childhood. Sadly they removed that product from their menu already. So when I was asked to do a review on McDonald's latest promotional product, I quickly agreed to it.

INTRODUCING

McDonald's latest creations.
- Beef Clubhouse Burger
- Chicken Clubhouse Burger
- Truffle Flavored Shaker Fries
- Red Velvet Mcflurry with Oreo Cookie Bits

Moving on to the review. Many people had pretty high expectations for their new product, but for me, I feel that its better to expect less so that the disappointment won't be that much.



Red Velvet Mcflurry
To be honest, it tastes pretty much like the original Mcflurry, and it costs much more. So yeap.



Beef/Chicken Clubhouse Burgers
I love the fact that McDonald's keep adding different things to their current product so kudos for that. For their new clubhouse burgers, they added Bacon and Melted Cheese on top of the usual lettuce and tomatoes. A little something different compared to the other burgers on their menu.



Truffle Flavored Shaker Fries
Well, this was the one that got many people talking about it. The smell was good but it tastes like Garlic/Onion Maggie Powder. Many of my friends have commented that its VERY BAD!!! True enough. But what do you expect something that comes out from a pack of sachet????!!!!



These above mentioned items will only be available from 26th Nov - 30th Dec (In Singapore Branches Only). Go grab them now while stock last.

Dancing Crab

A few weeks back, I went out for a food hunt and also a belated birthday celebration for one of my friend. Somehow I managed overcome my fear of eating crab.

My friends all know that I'm allergic to food that comes from the sea. And if I were to consume any of it, eg: prawns, squid, clams etc, my whole throat will become itchy and my mouth will start swelling.





The restaurant itself is pretty big IMO, decided to bring my friends to this place to give it a try after reading Andy's blog entry on his visit to dancing crab. Being a bit "kiasu" I made reservation the day before just to avoid disappointment. LOLOLOL!!!

At Dancing Crab, the way to consume the food is slightly different as compared to other crab restaurants. Over here, you eat the food with your bare hands. No plate or utensils given. To some, it might be a turn off but for people like me and one of my friend, we love the idea of using our hands to it and everything is just messy and on the table for you to eat. Hahah!



We ordered a combo 1 that consists of a crab, 300g of prawns, 250g of clams, some potatoes and sausages which costs around $80++?? and we also ordered some other finger food as well. Though, I feel that their menu is quite limited.

When ordering the combo, you can choose which sauce you want. One of our friend came here before and she tried the signature sauce and she told us it was VERY spicy. So ended up we ordered the Zesty Garlic Butter??? Or was it the Herb Butter??? I can't really remember though. :((

#SELFIE before getting all dirty and messy

After the long wait, the food finally arrived at our table. We ordered Fried Mushrooms, Crab Cake, 1 Combo 1, and Cajun Fries. I think its just nice for 4 people. If there were more people around, I think you will need to order 1 more combo.







After we're done eating, we walked around to kill some time before the next shuttle bus arrives. Ohyah! Dancing Crab is located at The Grandstand which is the old Turf Club. There are shuttle bus at Clementi MRT station and Toa Payoh, you can check out the timing for the shuttle bus here: http://thegrandstand.com.sg/shuttlebus-schedule.aspx

While we're on our way back, we saw this shop that sells really really cute macaroons. I can't help it but to succumb to temptations. Its too cute not to buy!!!

I hearby apologize to all Hello Kitty fans

Ending this post with a posy outfit of the day~

Nutella Brownie

Assorted Nuts Brownie

Oreo Brownie

Marshmallow Brownie

Salted Caramel Brownie

I'm a chocolate lover and I absolutely love all the brownies that Breeks has! But my favourite would definitely be Salted Caramel Brownie! So sad that its only available for a limited time period only.

Ohyah! If bought, the brownie can be kept for 2 weeks in the refrigerator, and slightly longer period if kept in the freezer.

Took this photo while Noelle is taking pictures of the brownies! I think its quite nice leh!!!

After having to taste the brownies, I was craving for some waffle cut fries, and Laine was kind enough to get one for us to share. Thank you so much ^.^

She even asked if we would like to have extra cheese, adding on, she also gave us peri peri sauce to dip with the waffle cut fries. LOVE IT! ♥

I REALLY REALLY LOVE THE PERI PERI SAUCE! ITS AMAZING! 
Its abit spicy but that's what I love about! I end up finishing the peri peri sauce leaving only the cheese for Huixin and Noelle.



Noelle left when I came back from the washroom, so therefore only left with Huixin. Took a photo with her to end of the day. 
Thank you so much BREEKS and Laine for having us for that day! I really enjoyed myself! :D

McDonalds Kampung Burger

[Sponsored Event]

YAY! This is the first time I'm attending a McDonald's event! Thank you OMY and McDonald's for having me! :D

I was one of the first few Singaporeans to try out McDonald's old new Kampung Burger that is going to be launch this coming week!

Why did I say old new is because the Kampung Burger was actually launched 20 years ago, and now its back once again! That's when I was only 1 year old!!!

So when I reached the venue, I was welcomed by all the kampung old school toys like, Chapteh, Kuti Kuti, and many more!!! It definitely brings back lots of memories, because I've seen and played most of it before! Hahaha!



Then we were introduced to the highlight of the day, which is the relaunched Kampung Burger, together with the all new kampung bbq drumlets. Tender and moist chicken drumlets marinated with paprika, onions and garlic! Really packs a punch! Don't worry, its not spicy at all! ^.^

The kampung drumlets are available for 2 pieces at $2 or 10 pieces at $9.50!



Packed with pineapple ring and tangy salsa sauce, the crispy kampung chicken burger is ready to make its comeback! Available in stores this week!

 
Then its game time! When there's game there will definitely be prizes! The games that we played are........ SCISSORS PAPER STONE! Hahaha! Yea! No kidding! The most kampung of all kampung games!

Initially they wanted to play chapteh and five stones, but its too difficult and due to space constraint, they decided on scissors, paper, stone.

AND GUESS WHAT?!!!

Yourstruly is the overall winner yo! Not really la, I only played against the winners of each table and not everyone, what's more the game scissors paper stone is more of luck than strategy, so yea.

I have to thank Fenny for letting me to "volunteer as tribute". Hahaha!

What's a event without a group photo?! Summing up the event with a group photo, as always! :D
