EAT . SLEEP . TRAVEL

Stayed a night in KSL Resort last year. First thing, I would like to say that their entrance to KSL Resort in the KSL Mall is at a very very very weird place. Its like you won't even ever thought of that a Resort entrance is actually there! We had a hard time locating the entrance. The staff at KSL hotel told us that it was beside or somewhere around SASA. We went over to SASA, found no entrance but toilet entrance, LOL, we actually went over to the toilet and check. We gave up and went over to KSL hotel lobby again, this time round they lead the way.

We laughed. We literally laughed out. LOL, you know those EXIT door, the entrance look exactly like that, just without the exit board. They never even put any board there, they just paste an A4 paper printed with KSL Resort. Really, we never even noticed it! I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PHOTO OF THAT ENTRANCE!!

Despite their weird entrance, their apartment has a very nice view, and its very clean! but I am super pissed with their lift. We spend like 15mins to get ourselves up. SUPER SLOW. Waste of our time and worst, our card was not working, and we waited another 10mins for the lift, and when we finally reached their staff, he actually took that card and went up again to try it himself. And then when he finally proved that the card was not working, he offered to go down himself and we wait outside the room.

Finally got a chance to try Hiap Joo Bakery's Banana cake in Johor Bahru!

BE THERE EARLY! Early birds catch the worms! Trust me, the queue is insane. Every batch of banana cake will be gone within a few minutes. After every batch, you will have to wait for another 10 to 15mins for the cake. I still remember theres 10+ people infront of me, I will have to wait for the 2nd batch. Bring a portable fan along. ITS DAMN HOT and tiring.

And finally when the second batch was done, we panicked. Because everyone infront of us were like "I want 5 boxes", "I want 10 boxes"..... We don't want to wait for another batch T.T But lucky us, there was still around  2 big boxes of 10 pieces, and 6 small boxes of 5 pieces left. And we bought all of them HAHA.

We tried a piece of the freshly baked banana cake immediately! The top part was still abit crispy and it was really really super soft and moist in the inside!

I personally think that it taste even better if you kept it for a day! Because the taste of the cake will be stronger and moister! I can eat like 5 pieces or even more at a time. Definitely worth the queue! I shall be there early and try their bread next time. They usually sell their bread in the morning and banana cake in the late morning or early afternoon. The bread is as "hot" as the cake, few minutes 秒杀。

I bet almost everyone heard of Jenny Bakery, the famous Hong Kong cookies. I have never try it before. But I saw some reviews online, some says that Mr.Rich Bakery's cookies, which is also from Hongkong,  taste similar to Jenny Bakery. Therefore just nice, Mr. Rich Bakery came to Singapore, and since its on Groupon, I purchased it at a discounted price to test whether if it worth the money and queue as my friend.

今年的中秋节我们也试了南益饼家的上海月饼。一次就买了很多盒！哈哈！源發的也有买。从来都不喜欢吃月饼的我深深得爱上了上海月饼！



在右手边的是南益的莲蓉上海月饼，中间颜色比较深的是源發的莲蓉上海月饼。最右手边的是南益的豆沙上海月饼。

吃了这两家我觉得南益的馅料比较滑，也不会太甜，不腻。饼皮偏咸了点，但是他们的饼皮一点都不会干，吃进嘴里，融化在口里！

相比之下，源發的饼皮干了点，饼皮和馅料都偏甜，也有牛奶香。个人比较喜欢源發的饼皮。但是馅料方面比较喜欢不会太甜也不会腻的南益的馅料，而且也很滑。

如果可以用源发的饼皮和南益的馅料那就真的是 perfect 了！哈哈！我在做梦。
