Baked Doritos - Nacho Cheese

ABBEY: It's the same taste but with different texture and packaging. The baked one is smoother and lighter and has lesser oil; allowing you to enjoy the richness of the flavor. Price remains the same at 3.95sgd.



WILL: Baked! Its was baked chips! The difference?Each chips is thinner and crispier, of course the texture is different from the fried ones. 
      Love it! Got to buy for more.

Baguette – The Viet Inspired Deli

ABBEY: We were looking for a place to eat in Vivo City mall and we found this, Baguette, a Viet-inspired deli. I tried their grilled pork rice-noodle bowl. The taste is a mix of sweet, sour and mild hot. The pork is tender and moist. I also tried their signature drink Soda Chanh (lime juice, soda and syrup). Whole dinner cost only less than 15sgd.






WILL: Its my birthday and we choose to go spend it in our home. Hmmm, I am from office doing a two hour overtime. My gosh, our stomach is grumbling we need some small munchies just to stop the starving. Haha. We sat here at Baguette and ordered some sub vietnamese style. 
      The taste? Incredible! Definitely a viet-sub! A nice alternative to a usual western-american breads. :) 
      It costs not more than a $5. You can reach them at VivoCity Mall near Sephora.

Tukneneng


Quail eggs - hard boiled
3 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup flour
1/4 cup annatto seeds (atsuete)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Cooking oil for deep frying

Sauce:
Vinegar
Cucumber (sliced)
Red pepper
Salt and pepper

Remove the eggshells and dredge it into the cornstarch. For the batter, dilute 1 cup of hot water into the annatto seeds. Mix flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour the liquid in the flour-salt-pepper mixture. Put the eggs in the batter.

Heat the oil and once hot deep fry the eggs.
Remove and serve with your favorite sauce.



VERDICT:
WILL: Eventually, I am missing every small thing that was taken for granted when I am in the Philippines and food is not an exemption. 
      I miss street foods and I miss tukneneng. This is quail egg rolled on a flour then fried. The best part? When it was soaked in a vinegar with garlic, onion and cucumber. 
      Thanks abbey for preparing this. :)
