Pepper Lunch (Hougang Mall)

Went to PepperLunch for the Student Meal available from 10am - 6pm on weekdays that's inclusive of a drink. There's also the normal Weekday Lunch Special from 10am to 2pm that's inclusive of a side dish and drink.

Cheese Hamburg Steak w/ Brown Sauce ($9.90)- A Japanese Classic featuring tender Australian Steaks smothered with the selection of brown sauce , and complete with a sunny side up egg. I love hearing the sizzle of the hot plate plus the fragrant aroma of the beef. Hamburg and cheese are a good combination. Mashed potatoes was smooth and buttery. Tasted a little like the one at 7-Eleven. Brown sauce was okay. For drinks I had mineral water since they didn't have Iced Lemon Tea.

Cheese Hamburg Steak w/ Brown Sauce: 7/10 ☺

Fish & Co. (Tampines)

Went to Fish & Co. for their Student Catch at $10 nett which comprise of a main and a drink. But hey, if you're not a student there's still the normal set lunch available. I went with zq. We got a table for 2 and was given an iPad to place our orders. Wow suddenly Fish & Co. also uses iPad for ordering.

Soup of the Day (+$3.50). The soup of the day was Fish Chowder. Soup was thick and a little gooey. something like the one I had at The Mind Cafe. Tasted good, portion size was good to.

Bombay Fish & Chips- Our all-time favourite Fish & Chips with an Indian herbs-and-spicy twist. Even King Shah Ruk Khan cannot resist! Not my cup of tea. Tasted a little like some Indian fried snack that I've tried before. The fish batter was super crispy and it went well with the lime. Fries were slightly crisp on the outside yet you can taste the potato-y-ness of the fries because of the thickness.

Seafood Lunch Platter- Grilled prawns, white fish, grilled calamari and blue mussels in garlic lemon butter sauce served with mashed potato. Crispy calamari, delicious mashed potato with taste of prawn that made it OH-SO-DELICIOUS. I prefer this more than the Bombay Fish & Chips.

Soup of the Day: 5/10 ☺
Bombay Fish & Chips: 5.5/10 ☺
Seafood Lunch Platter: 7/10 ☺

Eighteen Chef (Ang Mo Kio)

Wanted to try Eighteen Chef for a long time but couldn't get my friends to come with me. But since I'm dinning here means that I finally managed to drag them with me.

Eighteen Chef is run by Benny Se Teo who has been to prison and is now trying to help ex-convicts and delinquents reintegrate back into society through his restaurant.

We looked at the menu and decided to get the student meal ($6.40)- Pasta or Cheese Baked Rice + Ice Lemon Tea + Ice Cream. I went to the counter to place everyone's orders and we waited for our food to arrive.

I ordered Cheese-Baked Rice with Mushrooms and Spicy Garlic sauce. I thought the spicy garlic sauce would be flavorful but in the end it tasted a little like mui fan except with fried rice flavor. PY had the Japanese curry sauce which she liked as it tasted nice and it wasn't too spicy for her.

Lemon Tea. Love the cup used. The drink had a strong tea taste with a mild lemon taste. I prefer to have mine with a strong lemon taste.

Blueberries & Vanilla Ice Cream Waffles (+$4). For additional $4 with the student meal you can choose any waffle from the waffles menu. I shared with PY and we placed our free scoop of chocolate ice cream on the waffle as well. They were good. Warm waffles, tangy blueberry sauce and cold creamy ice cream.
