Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks has been around in Singapore for some time. Shihlin snacks store are located in various parts of Singapore and Mrupupup visited the store at Nex Mall. MrUpUpUp loved their oyster mee sua, pork floss crepe and their large fried chicken chop. Shihin is a popular snack store and got many people buying their food. Mrupupup needs to queue for 15mins to get the order of mee sua and crepe. The Oyster Mee Sua (thin noodles) was very nice and thick which Mrupupup cannot find elsewhere. Their Crepe is also one of the kind and just loved the taste of prok floss with the crepe. Yummyss! One day, Mrupupup hopes to visit Taiwan and check out their street food stores.

Mrupupup met a Kacang Puteh Indian Man at the Middle Road area - in Peace Centre. Kacang Puteh man has a small store to sell various forms of nuts: sugar coated nuts, steamed beans, broad beans, cashew nuts and many types of nuts. The Kacang Puteh Indian Man nowadays is so hard to find. Singapore's vanishing trades of selling Kacang Puteh might be lost in the generations to come. Each packet of Kacang Puteh (nuts) sells for $1 and it is freshly made. Mrupupup bought the sugar coated peanuts for $1. Very nice and taste unique. Missed those days when one would watch a movie with kacang puteh, instead of expensive popocorns.

Wooohooo. Mrupupup had a Baskin Robbins Ice Cream on their promotion day (Wednesday) at Nex Mall (Level-B1).

Mrupupup had the macademia nuts and the strawberry cheesecake flavour. Woohoo, both flavours very nice, especially the strawberry cheesecake flavour with chewy cheese bits! Yummy and do check out their many flavours of ice cream from chocolate to vanilla to sorbets.

Serangoon Gardens Bakery and Confectionery is famous and located in the Serangoon Gardens Market and Food Centre (store 45). The bakery is the only shop selling bread and you can see the long line of customers. It is interesting that the bakery sells very traditional bread, unlike the modern breads found in shopping centres. Traditional breads like luncheon meat bread, ham and cheese, sambal bread, kaya bread, and many kinds. All the breads costs less than $1, pretty cheap. The bread are nice and warm which is important. Mrupupup bought the tuna bread and luncheon meat bread. All very nice! Mrupupup should have bought more bread and save some money for breakfast. Good value for money!

Mrupupup waited for some time to have their soya beancurd and soya bean drink with pearls. Selegie Soyabean has many outlets in Singapore and was establised in 1998. It was worth the wait as their soya bean drink and soya beancurd are very nice. Their soya beancurd melts in your mouth and taste very nice. Their soya bean drink was thick and loved their generous portion of pearls in the drink. Yummzz !!!!

Once Upon a Milkshake store in Raffles City shopping mall basement sells milkshakes. The Milkshakes are very thick and nice. Mrupupup tried chocolate milkshake with a tinge of banana. The thick milkshakes means one has to try very hard to suck through the straw for the milkshake. Super nice! Do try their flavours and since it is the Great Singapore Sale, the store is having a discount on their milkshakes. As the 'napkin' saying goes, once upon a milkshake, we live happily ever after. Slurps!!!! Yummy milkshake indeed. Mrupupup is happy.

Juchheim baumchuken cakes are here in Singapore's Takashimaya store (basement two). Check out the pretty box and the chocolate layered baumkuchen cake below.

Baumchuken is german word for 'tree cake'. As with most Japanese food creations, their food products comes with pretty packaging. Juchheim is from Kobe Japan and was establised in 1909. The layered cake was nice and tastes unique. It would be better if the baumchuken cake is eaten chilled or with a good cup of green tea. Need to slowly eat in small bites, in fact savour the cake.
