Two Blur Guys

Two Blur Guys? huh?

If you have not already heard of this burger place, you are definitely missing out on something.

Basically, Two Blur Guys is a New York concept café that was set up by two not-so-blur guys who are passionate about good food burgers, beer and pastries. Currently, they have two outlets - Orchid Hotel and Boat Quay. And, I went to the latter with my siblings for a food tasting session.

We were led to the al fresco dining area, which I felt was great for a relaxing chill-out over dinner and drinks. 

Two Blur Guys offers six mouthwatering variants of Blurger. Yes, they named their burgers 'Blurgers'. Hmm...

And so, we ordered Prime Beef with Streaky Bacon - $21, Prime Beef with Portobello - $21 and Pulled Pork - $15.

Each Blurger comes with truffle fries (mild truffle taste) and salad sides. In my opinion, the prices are pretty reasonable for the quality taste.

Let's start with the Pulled Pork Blurger. It does look a lil' messed up. Well, thou shall not judge a blurger by its look.

This has gotta be my favoritest out of the three! The pork meat is perfectly marinated, very flavorful and super tender... well complemented with gruyere cheese and honey mustard... it just tastes simply heavenly! This is one burger that I highly recommend YOU to try :d~

Prime Beef with Portobello does not taste like your regular beef burger... DUH! 

Just by looking at this pic alone is enough to make me drool... :P~

Oh, and this one is Prime Beef with Streaky Bacon. All in all, I am in love with the thick, succulent beef patties... the meat is soooooo tender! I prefer the one with portobello as the rich distinctive taste of gruyere cheese does make a difference.

If only the truffle taste of the truffle mayonnaise was stronger... the overall taste would be perfect!

Fyi, even the blurger bun taste good! That is really unexpected since I don't normally care much for the bun. Seriously.

I must say, burgers never tasted SO GOOD!

Enjoying Singapore's beautiful nightlife with Mojito & Margarita ♡

My bro had Cappuccino... boring :x

That night, we witnessed pub crawl (where a group of people will try to visit as many pubs as possible in one night, having a set number of alcoholic beverages in each). Hmm... interesting... not for the faint-hearted though.

By the way, the guy in striped polo tee is one of the blur guys - Max. A friendly dude, who was really entertaining throughout the session. Like I said, he is definitely not blur. Witty and chatty, in a good way (;

We didn't expect desserts since we were full by then... but how could we say 'no' right? :P

We had this interesting dessert - Lamington that was recommended by Max. Originated from Australia, Lamington is a light fluffy sponge cake coated with grated coconut. It comes in chocolate and strawberry flavors. Obviously, we tried the strawberry one. The sweetness is just right. Somehow, the taste reminds me of nonya kueh. 

The perfect way to end the night with - this sinful-looking Chocolate Truffle Cake... rich chocolatey goodness in every bite! Need I say more?

A great blurger experience @ Two Blur Guys indeed. Thank you, Max for your warm hospitality! I'll definitely return for more yummilicious blurgers ♡

Thank you for reading! (:

Monster Curry @ ION Orchard

The biggest and heaviest Japanese curry rice in Singapore - Monster Curry, is back in ION Orchard! Thanks to Cookie's extended invite, I got to attend the food tasting session.

Some years back, there was a similar concept Japanese curry store called Go! Go! Curry! that had ceased operation. I remembered trying their food once but was rather disappointed with the bland curry taste. So, I wondered how Monster Curry would fare. Luckily, it was all good.

Read on to find out my review of Monster Curry (: 

ION Orchard Outlet #B4-52
Tel: 6509 4555

Basically, you need to place your order and pay at the cashier counter. 

Then, you wait for your food to be served here. It will take approximately 15mins during non-peak hours. I am not too sure about peak hours though.

We got to try out this new beverage - Matcha Latte that is not available on the menu as yet. I find it a lil' too milky and it would be good that the matcha taste is stronger.

Monster Curry Combos >> S$24 - S$25!

Original / Meat / Seafood Curry choices >> S$9 - S$14!

Extra / Topping Items / Drink >> S$1 - S$4.50!

Curry spicy level (1 to 5 Flame)!

Monster Hot, anyone? :P

I ordered the Pork Shabu-Shabu Omelette Curry (S$14) with additional cheese (+S$1). The more popular choices are the Chicken/Pork Katsu Curry (S$13). By the way, I was pretty surprised to find out that their curry sauce is made from fresh fruits... bet you didn't know that! heh.

The 3 chilli circles represent 3 Flame (Very Hot). Woah! That was seriously real spicy (with a hint of fruity sweetness)! Too spicy for me to handle... think 2 Flame (Extra Hot) should suffice.

See how freaking huge the plate is - a whopping 34cm in diameter! My big head is so small as compared to the plate :s  

Though the serving portion is very-very generous, I was so-sooo hungry that I managed to polish everything off the plate, including the side veggies (cabbage + carrot bits). Actually, this can be shared among 2 small eaters.  Hmm... I can really eat a lot ya :x

However, if you and your friend(s) are big eaters, I would suggest that you order any of the combo curry sets (S$24-S$25) that have even bigger portion. 

This is a winning combination of tender shabu-shabu pork meat, cooked-to-perfection cheesy omelette, fragrant fluffy rice and delectable spicy Japanese curry sauce!

Yummilicious~ :d~

I tried a slice of the pork as well as the chicken katsu. Both have a thin and light crispy batter that was fried to golden perfection. Though the pork/chicken katsu meat was not as tender as the shabu-shabu pork meat, they still taste good nevertheless.

And, I also tried a little of the nattō (traditional Japanese food made from soybeans fermented with bacillus subtilis). Frankly speaking, it is not a dish that everyone will enjoy since the taste and smell are kinda strong. Plus, the soybeans have this slight slimy texture.

Well, I don't mind eating since nattō is known to be good for health!

Shall end off the post with pics with the bloggers.

That's all for now. Thank you for reading!

Sukhothai Kitchen [formerly known as Arroythai Kitchen]

Good things are meant to be shared. Amidst all the beauty posts, here's a food review post on Sukhothai Kitchen that serves authentic Thai food.

Sukhothai Kitchen AMK: Blk 408 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 #01-773

Sukhothai Kitchen [formerly known as Arroythai Kitchen] has 2 outlets currently - Bugis and Ang Mo Kio. Thanks to Herine's extended invite, we went to the AMK outlet for food tasting.

Do note that Sukhothai Kitchen AMK is closed on alternate Mondays. For more info, pls refer to the image above for their operating hours/days.

Here's the menu of their recommended dishes and popular Thai rice/noodle dishes, for reference. By the way, they offer a great deal for the lunch crowd >> pay only $3.90 (u.p. $5) for your fave Phad Thai/Pineapple Fried Rice!


Are you ready for some food porn? :d~

Mango Salad
- $5 / $10

This is one of my faves in this food tasting session. It is a simple yet mind-blowing dish.

I don't usually fancy mango salads but I really love this particular one. The sourness of the green mango coupled with the sweet and tangy sauce... ahh... BLISS!

Home Made Thai Prawn Cake 
- $5 / $10

To be honest, this is my least fave dish. Hmm... firstly, I think that the outer crust is not crispy enough. Secondly, there is not much prawn taste.

Well, that's just my personal preference.

Deep Fried Garlic Pork
- $6 / $10

If you don't already know, i hate garlic. Interestingly, I am very okay with garlic bread and garlic sauce for chicken rice. 

The deep fried pork comes in bite-size pieces, making them easy-to-eat. After promptly removing the garlic bits before eating, I think they are pretty tasty - crispy and not that greasy. Just a lil' garlicky though. Garlic lovers will love it!

Tom Yum Seafood (Clear)
- $5 / $10

How can we not try the classic hot and sour Tom Yum soup?! As usual, do not be fooled by the seemingly mild-looking clear soup.

For someone like me who can take spicy food, I think the spicy level is just right for me. That goes the same for the sourness.

Tom Yum Seafood (Red)
- $5 / $10

If you cannot take too spicy food, then go for the red version. It is not that spicy (according to my taste buds), and has a hint of sweetness.

Overall, I enjoyed both versions very much. And, I seriously think that the price is really reasonable for a bowl of lovely tom yum soup (be it clear or red) with authentic taste and decently fresh seafood ingredients.

*commercial break* See how much 2 ladies can eat?! Not to mention, we had more dishes coming up then :x

Pineapple Fried Rice
- $5

Pineapple Fried Rice is one of my all-time fave Thai dishes. Here at Sukhothai Kitchen, it has generous portions of lap cheong (a type of Chinese sausage / 腊肠) bits, plus pineapple bits, cashew nuts, pork floss, raisins, prawns, etc.

Needless to say, it is one of the best ones I've tried... and I think the cheapest! (This food post is making me hungry =.=)

Fried Minced Pork with Basil Leaf
- $8 / $12

The best basil minced pork I've ever eaten is at this Thai food stall at my neighbourhood market. This one I tried is on par. The former is savory while the latter taste a lil' sweet.

Both are very flavorful minus the distinctive taste of basil! Not a fan of basil... :s

Fried Kai Lan with Roast Pork
- $8 / $12

I don't wish to sound like a broken record BUT I really hate garlic. This is yet another garlic-laden dish. Thai people really love garlic a lot!

Bottomline, it is definitely way too garlicky for me to like it. Garlic lovers, you need to try this!

Fyi, this is the garlic they use (not the normal kind). According to Francis (owner of Sukhothai Kitchen), these cute lil' ones taste nicer (sweeter).

Baked Big Prawn with Glass Noodle
- $16 / $22

O-M-G! This has lots of garlic in it as well! BUT it is sooo tasty that I cannot help but love it!

Forget about the garlic (and prawn)... just gimme the glass noodles will do! They taste simply divine after fully absorbing the flavorful sauce. Super 入味!

Steamed Fish with Spicy Lemon Sauce
- $22 (sea bass) / $28 (garoupa)

Last dish of the day! We just wanted to try, so a miniscule portion (sea bass) is served.

It smells uber appetizing coz of the spicy lemon sauce. And, it is the sauce that what makes the dish unique. Very delish!

If you love quality authentic Thai food at affordable prices, Sukhothai Kitchen is the place to go!
