Lemon Winter Melon Tea

Honey Dew Milk Tea

Another favorite tea drinks for Kurt.  He always wanted their Honey Dew Milk Tea.  What is good with their tea is that you can reduce the sugar level to your taste. My first time to try their Creative mix Lemon Winter Melon Tea.  Thing is that it was premixed so i can not suggest to lower the sugar level and it was too sweet for me.  Regretted at the moment i had the first sip.  I should have ordered the regular Milk Tea. But anyways, we are still fond of their Milk tea and Ice cream special.

ON FOOD TRIP: WE SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM

With the heat the kids all just ever want are cold frozen something. They screamed for ice cream!   We got Purple yam cake and Choco chip cookie dough. Happy weekend!

DRINK OF THE DAY: STARBUCKS' FRAPPUCCINO

Friends and I just had dinner and a trip to Starbucks next for an after-dinner-treat.  I always love cold drinks after and it was Green tea frap for me.

Green Tea Frappuccino® blended beverage A delightful blended beverage, created with green tea powder, ice and milk.

Mocha Frappuccino® blended beverage A blissful blended beverage, created with espresso, chocolate, ice and milk.

One of my friends, who loves chocolate cakes, tried out this.  I just had to try a spoonful of this sweetness!  Bought some choco eclairs and sandwich for the kiddos at home.

ON FOOD TRIP: CINNABON

Cinnabon Stix

My first love before any other pastries are the Cinnabon cinnamon rolls with nuts and frostings!  I am a sucker for those cinnamon flavored pastries.  Now also missing Cinnabon's Mochalatta Chill.  Nicole, my niece, is a fan of their Oreo Chillatta. On the other hand, Kurt, my nephew, is fond of their minibons.

ON FOOD TRIP: Café CRAVINGS

From the salad bar. All fresh and crunhy i got from the counter, Got greens (lettuce), tuna flakes, diced ham, cucumber. corn kernel, and slices of Jicama or Turnip locally know as "singkamas".

Lemon and wheat grass juice

Corn Soup

Ripe Mango shake

Cucumber and tomato salad (which i totally liked!)

I can't remember how they called this meatballs with tomato sauce and it was kinda sour coz of the sauce but i liked it.

I was at Cravings with colleagues.  Actually, this is a late post already but wanted to share with you the experience.  We were supposed to have just coffee and cakes but since we were starving to death at that moment we decide to just have dinner and i had these! I loved the place and ambiance considering the small space they have got. Too bad i failed to take picture of the salad counter.  The food presentation i loved as well.   I loved the food and i was full!

Satisfy your Cravings!

EBI FRY DON. Deep fried breaded shrimp simmered in special sauce topped with egg on rice. Served with refillable rice

CALIFORNIA MAKI

Crabsticks with mango and cucumber rolled in sushi rice and ebiko, topped with Japanese mayo. served with makimono sauce and wasabi.

STRAWBERRY MILK TEA

Extract from pure Ceylon tea leaf combined with sweet strawberry flavor and creamy milk

Lunch by myself and felt like eating some Japanese food.  I decided to give this a visit,  Karate Kid.  It was my first time to try this restaurant.  Missing out the SG milk tea that time so i tried out their Strawberry Milk Tea and i loved it instantly.  Not sweet for me and i can really taste the tea more than of the milk which is what i am looking for.  I ordered Ebi fry don and california maki as well.  I loved the food!

Rated this 4 out of 5!

Took me some time to figure out what to order... Service counter suggestions a must at times.

Food is great and i will surely go back!
