Spanish Doughnuts Singapore

ABBEY: Wilma told me that we will be having Spanish doughnut as snack. On my mind, it is a bread with sweet topping and has a shape that resembles a ring. When we went to Spanish Doughnuts in Orchard Central, I got surprised when I saw that Spanish doughnuts are long like wands. They are dipped in melted chocolate (white, brown, or dark). They're called churros by the way. Also they offer the kind of pipe-like ones. Six-inch churros (bombons) are filed with bavarians and dipped in chocolate topped with sprinkles. 

You can get one for a price of less than 5sgd. I liked the dark chocolate bonbon churro as well as their  triple chocolate. The original churro is also delicious as you can taste the richness of the bread once it got fried.






WILL: Spanish doughnut here in Singapore? Before their 3+1 promo ends, Abbey and I scheduled a dessert date at Orchard.

Luckily there is a seat for two. I asked for the plain churros and Abbey was enticed to get the flavored ones. The cashier will ask for what dipping you want for the plains, I selected the white chocolate. 

The first thing I felt when I get my churroz out of the paper bag is...it is too oily. This is my first time to get one of those so I thought it is just natural. Anyway, I can eat it all. 4 gigantic non-flavored fried doughnuts. Haha! 

We take-away some of it and after refrigerated for days, the same texture is still there. Still yummy with my white chocolate dip.

Please check them out at Orchard Central.

Privé Café - All Day Breakfast at Keppel Island

ABBEY: Care to have a breakfast beside a marina? You must try Privé cafe. We went there during the fourth day of my sister's visit. It would be advisable to hail a cab as there's no bus service going there. Or you can jog as part of your morning routine. 

We sat on a table under a tree and the morning sea breeze greeted us. We tried their Ultimate Brekkie (chicken frankfurter, eggs, bacon, roasted tomato, mushrooms, and toast) as well as their eggs benedict which I liked the most. The poached eggs are creamy and well complemented by the sauce. 

You can take snaps with the yachts. It is refreshing while eating delicious food, hearing the sound of water and having a good ambiance. All day breakfast price start from 12-20 sgd.







WILL: This is highly recommended place by our friend blogger Nadine and by a magazine (sorry forgot where I read it). When my in-laws visited us here in Singapore,  we finally got the chance to check this Privé Cafe.


Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it will be more enlightening if you will do it in a very nice place. So before we start the final day of their tour here, we headed to Keppel Bay. We hailed a cab and once we alighted, parked yachts welcomed us.

Privé Cafe was jam packed. A very nice sight to see families spending a Sunday morning breakfast. 

If you're stomach is grumbling and you can't handle the emptiness of it, this place is not for you. It took them around 30mins to serve our food. I got the pancake, why? To check if the magazine I have read that Privè serves one of the best pancake here in Singapore. Well, its true! Bite after bite I was convinced. Soft yet firm. 

Like my friend and the magazine, I will recommend this cafe. :)

Cereal Luncheon Meat Recipe

This is a very easy to cook recipe.

2 stalks of curry leaves
A can of luncheon meat
Ready mix cereal
1/4 block of butter

Fry the lucheon meat and into 1-inch strips. Set aside.
On a pan, melt the butter, and put the curry leaves then the cereal.
Mix it well. Then put the luncheon meat. 
Serve with hot rice.




VERDICT
WILL: This is one of the great perks when going out with friends and having a potluck. We tasted different kinds of food and have exchanges of recipe. And this time, Abbey and I came across with Ma'am Ivy's masterpiece.. the Cereal Luncheon Meat.

Abbey gladly cooked it for a dinner. Salty and sweet. Really, really good. Next time, we will bring this as our food contribution on next friends' meet up :)
