Flash Coffee Singapore - Affordable Specialty Coffee in Asia

ABBEY: Flash Coffee campaign is all over socmed. They are the ones with bright yellow and red logo. I decided to try it. They gave free coffees as well as discounted ones. The prices I can say is between hawkers and known coffee companies. They have the usual: americano, cappuccino, latte. But they also have signatures like Melaka/Macadamia/Nutella Latte, Espresso Soda and Milo Espresso Shake. 

Each cup I got is having full body flavor and satisfy my craving for a dose of caffeine. They also offer free delivery on Fridays (as of this writing) but unfortunately the closest Flash Coffee branch to us is outside the delivery range.

WILL: Flash coffee stalls are like mushrooms, they can be seen almost everywhere nowadays. Their marketing is to have a barista-curated drinks in a hawker-like price. Abbey is a huge fan of coffee and it causes his curiosity to rise. 

Our first dose of Flash Coffee is at their City Hall branch. Right there, I became an instant supporter of Flash Coffee. I love the taste of their Lemon Ice Tea. The strength of the tea and enough citrusy lemon will really quench the Singapore heat in a very affordable price. 

As I have said, they have many branches. Download their app, they are sometimes giving free delivery service and of course a lot of freebies and exclusive deals for their members.

Reimondo Seafood Congee - Pasir Ris Hawker Centre

ABBEY: We went to Pasir Ris Central Hawker Center to taste a bowl of Reimondo Seafood Congee. And it didn’t disappoint. For 6.90 SGD you can have a large serving of congee with scallop, prawn and seafood. It is full of flavor and gives you that homey feel for every scoop. A comfort food indeed. The story behind the stall is also an inspiration. Hard things in life come by but you have to persevere to get through it. 

Reimondo Seafood Congee - Pasir Ris Hawker Centre

WILL: Pasir Ris residents are so lucky to have Reimondo Seafood Congee. They are located in the 2nd floor of Pasir Ris Hawker Centre. Why lucky? We still need to travel to have this unusual porridge. You know…the typical congee is using pork. Seafood Congee should branch out hehe. 

The taste is of course delicious. The rice is boiled enough that you can hardly distinguish the rice grains and you will taste that the rice is not only boiled in water. It is definitely boiled with seafood! The seafood congee consist of prawn, smoked salmon and scallops. Well, I do not mind paying extra $2 for a congee to eat this tasty congee. 

Well recommended and wiling to travel 1hour by bus to Pasir Ris. Haha.

First Street Teochew Fish Soup - First Branch in Kovan

ABBEY: Another food gem that we found is First Street Teochew Fish Soup. It opens from 8:15AM to 3PM only. Always expect a queue. And for a food stall to have a queue, you know that their items are good. You can choose between rice or noodles for your soup. Their serving of mixed seafood soup is large, delicious and flavorful. They also have batang, pomfret, and snakehead.

WILL: It is always raining nowadays and all we need is a good warm soup that will comfort us on a cold lunchtime. Luckily we are near to one of the most well-known fish soup in Kovan, that is First Street Teochew Fish Soup. Breakfast or lunchtime, be ready to queue for a minimum of 30mins. 

So what is the taste? Of course it is delicious! You will know that the fish was boiled for hours that causes their soup’s saltiness were naturally from the fish. They offer different kinds of fish here but I always love to have Mackerel Fish Soup with a cup of rice! Each soup feels like a comfort from a warm a blanket in cold days. Hehe. 

If you are along Upper Serangoon or Kovan, please do not miss this legendary fish soup established since 80’s.
