Hwang's at Utown

We went to Hwang's Korean cafe at University Town @ NUS. I've read reviews that they were cheap and good. Since it was nearby, I decided to check it out. Indeed it was cheap and good! Authentic Korean fare at pocket friendly prices. We ordered 2 soups + 1 drink and it cost us a total of $12. That includes the NUS staff discount (dinner date was NUS staff) but even before discount it was possibly $15 for 2 people. Still a very good deal. 

It was a canteen style - so you go to the counter and order ala Ikea style, pay there and then they will recognise your face and send your order to your table when it's done.

The korean ginseng chicken soup had 1/2 a chicken in it and the Kimchi soup was very wholesome. The only disappointment was that there was not enough kimchi but I'm not complaining for the price we paid. Will definitely be back!

Wine Connection

Went to Wine Connection at Cuppage centre for dinner, wine and chill out with friends. It was nice to chat over a bottle of wine and the wine connection really is a nice set up for that. Unfortunately for food wise, it was a hit and a miss. My friend ordered the mushroom Risotto and it wasn't very nice. We sent it back to the kitchen and it still came back bland. Oh well :/

The pesto pasta on the other hand was al dente and pretty tasty. I liked it and will come back for it again. Although the food wasn't up to par, at least the wine and ambience was. So, good place to chillout!

Jco's frozen yogurt

I love my frozen yogurt dessert. It's the next best thing to ice cream. If you guys have been following this blog, I am a huge fan of the frozen yogurt and have tried quite a no. of them from all over Singapore. Today I walked past J.Co at raffles city and saw that they had this frozen yogurt section and immediately zoomed right into it after dinner. I ordered the yogurt with 3 toppings ($5 or less I think), chose chocolate drops, almond chips and mandarin orange as the topping. Super yummy, it was like having an orange chocolate treat. 

You can't really go too wrong with frozen yogurt. Will come back again!
