Gudetama Cafe, Singapore

Gudetama Cafe was where Mom and I had lunch during our last day at Singapore. The dinning place is located at Suntec City, just a few MRT stations away from Fortcanning Station, yet a half an hour walk from where we got off since the mall is very big and simulating a never ending maze. I was terrified that we wouldn’t get ourselves a table since we arrived just in time for lunch, but thank God the place was far away from crowded. We got to chose where we wanted to sit. Of course I went for the booth. 

Water was provided on each table, along with a tablet that replaces print-out menus. There were numerous dishes to choose and, at first, I couldn’t decided which I wanted to get. My choice for lunch was between the Big Nua Breakfast and the “I’m Cold” Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, while Mom immediately settles for the Rib “I” Don’t Care Steak although she showed a slight interest towards the Sun Tanning Pizza. After a long consideration, and a five-minutes bargain with one of the waiters about if the toasts in each dishes is changeable with extra veggies, I finally opted for the Big Nua Breakfast. No, I still couldn’t ask for extra veggies to replace my toast. Big bummer. It took around 15 minutes for my food to be served, while Mom’s took slightly longer. Hers was steak after all. 

I shall let you all savor the cuteness of both of our dishes down bellow. 

Big Nua Breakfast

My Big Nua Breakfast consisted of sauted mushroom, a big grilled sausage, a couple of sunny side-ups with Gudetama’s edible sticker stamped on each yolks, some generous bacon (I forgot to ask wether it was halal, or not), a piece of toast, a cupful of baked beans with tomato sauce, and some greens. Nothing could go wrong with this dish, right? Right!

All of the ingredients on my breakfast plate was delicious, but there wasn’t any wow factor or anything special from it. I really love how the chef didn’t overcook everything on the plate, even the sunny side-ups’ yolks were perfectly runny. The bacons were nicely fried, oily and delicious as always, and the baked beans were tender and not too sweet. Pretty sure they came straight from the can. I was not a big fan of the sautéed mushroom, but Mom, on the other hand, loved it. I ended up trading my mushroom and toast for Mom’s share of veggies. 

Rib “I” Don’t Care

Mom specifically asked for her steak to be medium well and it came medium well, thank God. The color of the meat was on point as it as dark brown on the outside while light brown and slightly pinkish on the inside. The meat was tender and the creamy mushroom sauce was a great pairing, making the dish very delectable. On the contrary, the mashed potato on top of the ribeye tasted okay.. as in, it could be better, but, hey, it’s a themed cafe anyway. Everybody knows that themed cafe priorities presentation more than flavor.

For every review on Gudetama Cafe Singapore’s Facebook page, we will be rewarded with either dessert, or beverage, of our choice. Being the gold digger that I am, I immediately went Carrie Bradshaw on their Facebook page and got myself a Citrus Pan. It was adorable!

Citrus Pan

Shaped like a sunny side-up on a pan, the dessert was actually a tart. Black in color, filled with meringue and citrus flavored hard jelly, the tart turned out very light and not the slightest bit sickening even though it was sweet. Mom and I managed to devour the whole thing and she even let out some compliments towards the free dessert. 

All in all, my first experience at Singapore’s Gudetama Cafe was not disappointing. Sure the price of the food was pretty expensive, we spent a total of 75$ for the whole thing, but it’s okay to indulge yourself once in a while.

What I Ate at Universal Studios: Singapore

The last time I went to Singapore was for work, and I didn’t even get to disembark the airplane because I had to immediately prepare my next flight plan for another sector, so a couple of weekends ago, my Mom and I decided to spend a couple of nights at the Lion City. We packed light, only a couple of bags and a small suitcase to store our clothes and future souvenirs for friends and family, then off we go. 

We spent our first day roaming around the neighborhood. We stayed at this beautiful and chick hotel named Studio M Hotel, located just a ten-minutes walk from Fortcanning Station. Our room had stairs that leads to the upper part of the room where sofas and dinning table was present to enjoy our takeouts from Seven Eleven. At night, we hopped on the MRT and headed to Chinatown, where we ate grilled squids on a stick, delicious pork dishes, and shopped a few bags of Tintin merchandise at this newly opened Tintin store. I also sent out a postcard to a dear friend of mine, Bernhard. I hope it’ll arrive anytime soon before Christmas. 

The next day, we spent the entire noon at Universal Studios: Singapore. It was our first time at the amusement park. The sun was rather nice, even though it made us sweat like a pig in a blanket, but later on came the rain. It didn’t stop us though. We managed to hop onto the last ride of Battlestar Galactica’s Human and Cyclone, enjoyed the endless loops and turns while having some drizzle of cold rain on our faces, just before it got stopped because of the worsening weather. After the ride, we were famished, so we visited some food stalls and got ourselves a bunch load of things. 

Gingy “Gingerbread Man” Cookie

It was none other than a gingerbread cookie. I couldn’t take my eyes off of Gingy the moment I laid my gaze on him. He was displayed in a jar, with a whole bunch of other Gingy, and the look on his face was like as if he’s calling for me. 6$ for a piece. I took out some Singaporean dollars and got myself the most beautiful and crack-free Gingy. Not that hard, slightly chewy, and it tasted weird (in a good way) like how gingerbread cookies are supposed to taste like. Although, I could taste a familiar flavor from the cookie as I’m a big fan of Indonesian’s roti gambang. 

Strawberry Christmas Churros

God knows how many inches this churro is. Crispy on the outside, whilst chewy and doughy on the inside, this churro is coated with cinnamon, sugar, and strawberry flavored sugar. It was too sweet and the strawberry flavored sugar was way too artificial for my taste, but it was edible and somewhat enjoyable. I mean, who would say no to a churro at an amusement park, right? 

Turkey Leg

Better than the ones the have at Disneyland despite its’ smaller size. The meat was decently tender and it was gusting with savory flavor. Not the slightest bit oily, it was smoked thoroughly to the bone, and the texture of the meat was anything like rubber. I totally recommend the turkey leg here for those of you who are on a no-carb no-sugar diet, yet hungry as hell and is struggling to find something to eat without having to break your diet. It’s only 10$ a piece. Great deal, no? 

Chocolate Milk Waffle

Mom is not a big fan of food, let alone dessert, but she loved the waffle. The milk chocolate coating the warm and soft waffle was sweet, but not too sweet, and it had a hint of bitterness here and there. “I love the chocolate coating,” she said. I had some chocolate sprinkles sprinkled on top as well, just for the sake of making it festive as hell, and it made the whole dessert became more fun to indulge. I, personally, love my waffle crispy on the outside, but I made peace with this one. 

Cornflake-coated Hot Dog

Not exactly like the ones I see in mukbang videos but, hey, it’s corn dog! I got me the one that had cornflakes coating on the outside. It was very crispy and not that oily, thank God. The batter was thin and the sausage had a spicy kick that made the whole being of the corndog less dull and bland. Although I’m not that fond with the taste of the batter, which was rather sweet and slightly sickening, the corndog was definitely enjoyable and tummy filling. 

Crispy Squid

Ain’t no other food at Universal Studios: Singapore can beat this delicious deep-fried delicacy. Even thought it was deep-fried, the squid meat was far from rubbery. It was perfectly tender, biteable, and super delicious! There was a dash of chilly powder on the bread coating and it escalated the level of deliciousness of this crispy squid. Mom and I shared the squid and it took us a period of time to finish the whole thing. I mean, who summoned the Kraken? 

Then came the last day of our stay at Singapore. But, that’s another story to tell, on another blog post to update.. 

Bumblebee Water Bottle

My best friends, Icha and Dila, went to Singapore last month and got me this awesome Bumblebee water bottle - thank you guys, I love it! The liquid container is big and tall, maybe enough to store a liter of water. And what I love the most about the water bottle is that is came with a flip straw. How can you not love a flip straw? Even though I'm not the number one fan when it comes to Transformer, it excites me to have such merchandise. My Dad though, whose laptop's desktop background is Optimus Prime, was thrilled when I told him about my new water bottle.

Meet Bumblebee

It comes with a flip straw, how awesome is that?

And it's not just a regular water bottle. When you open the lid, you will see packs and packs of gummy candies. There is enough gummy candies for everybody! The candies share the same shape with orange. They come in four different flavors, judging from the different color packaging - yellow, blue, red, and green. But, I have only figured out one flavor so far, which is guava. 

Those gummy candies were sweet and chewy they were hurting my sensitive teeth. They were coated with sugar, so, for those who have sensitive teeth, or maybe even cavities, should be careful.

Candies!

Each pack contains a pair of orange-shaped gummy candy
