Food for a lazy Sunday

Home-prepared prawn salad

The other hidden ingredients

The salad leaves were tossed with red wine vinaigrette dressing.
The celery should not be there, as it dilutes the taste...probably better with a creamy dressing

Smoked salmon thin-crust pizza from Canadian Pizza

The salmon was salty...

Hawaiian thin-crust pizza

Moussaka

With eggplant (brinjal), minced lamb and lots of cheese...this was nice.

Saybons, French Food Factory

I hadn't known this take-out joint is so "famous", until I saw the newspaper cuttings pasted all over their counter. I'd recently read from a food blog about their nice soup and crepes.

That's a large sized cup of seafood bisque (price $4.90).

The SO thought it was curry...and actually, it did have a spicy taste.

The seafood bisque was good, with a good "body" and without the strong "fishy" taste, which I'd experienced at some supposedly good restaurant.

The mushroom and cheese savoury crepe (@ $4.50), one of their popular items.

Photobucket
They also have dessert crepes filled with bananas, chocolate, strawberries and peanuts, but not all in the same crepe.

The crepe wasn't as hot or soft, since I'd taken it home to eat, but it was very nice all the same. The SO likes it too.

Photobucket
I drank almost all the soup and ate about 40% of the crepe, but it was quite filling, and I didn't feel like I needed to eat more for dinner, except perhaps a fruit and drink. I think a soup plus focaccia bread (which they also sell) would make a nice lunch.

Spring onion pancakes and hot & sour soup

We had these at the Lavender Foodcourt, from a stall that sells Shanghainese food.


Szechuan hot & sour soup and spring onion pancakes (葱油饼)




The soup was average, but can't complain lah, since it only cost a dollar or so, and the pancakes were really good and yummy!

Although the pastry looks thick, it didn't taste heavy but was nice and crispy. The chilli dip was shiokado! too and would even go well with chicken.
