MakiSan At The Cathay

                         

Do you like SUSHI ?
Would you like to have sushi with all your favorite ingredients in it ?
Would you like to design your unique flavour of sushi ?

Me : YES , YES , YES ...

Welcome to MakiSan - A place where you can design your own sushi (or salad) with more than 80 ingredients to choose from.
                        

1. TO start designing your own sushi, you can choose between MEGA and little san. (Depending on how hungry you are). 

         Little San :  $6.90

         MegaSan  : $9.90
         (you will get a bigger roll with 2 extra ingredients and an additional SPECIAL ingredient)  
       
   2.   Choose the type of rice that you would like, there are four to choose from.                                    

         I tried the Traditional Nori (with seaweed on the outside) and the healthy brown rice (taste a little dry)

    3.  You can choose the ingredients that goes in the Maki, which includes the essential, special, sprinkles              and the sauce as well. 

                         

If you don't know which ingredients to choose from, you can also pick from their signature rolls.

                           
The maki comes in very nicely decorated boxes, you can use the boxes to takeaway the unfinished maki. What a green packaging (Love IT !).

Some of the patrons were seen keeping the boxes after they finish eating the sushi.

Fried ebi was a great choice for the maki. 

The Maki tasted great except that the seaweed was a little soggy, making the Maki fall apart if you try to bite it into half.
Overall, it is a healthy, delicious and value for money choice. I would skip the fast food and choose Makisan on any day.

Lady M at Marina Square

All the way From New York comes Lady M  :a famous confectionery from the States and  Singaporeans seem to be craving for these freshly baked cream cakes as there seem to be an endless queue outside the cafe whenever I walked pass cafe at the new line of eateries at Marine Square.

The decor of the cafe seems to be white minimalistic, which seems to  lack the cosy and warmth feeling that most cafe goes for. All their cakes are on display in the counter at the back of the cafe.

Their  menu  in Singapore only offers a portion of the cakes that was featured on their website.
                        
I wanted to try the strawberry shortcake but I was told that all the cakes that contain fruits are all sold out, Disappointed !. So we ordered the Gâteau aux Marrons and Green Tea Mille Crêpes to share.

Gâteau aux Marrons : Vanilla sponge cake with chestnut infused fresh cream.
Green Tea Mille Crêpes : Thin crepes layered with green tea cream.  

The reason for the endless queue could be the crepe cake that appears on every table.

Both cakes feels very soft as you dip your fork into it. They are very fresh and bubbly soft with the high content of fresh cream in both cakes. As I prefer the spongy texture compared to the airy texture that comes from the cream, the cakes from Lady M did not really suit my taste bud. 

The size of the cakes are relatively small for the price that you have to pay, this is definitely HIGH tea.

This place is worth a visit if you would like to try out the famous cakes from New York (without having to take a plane). Be ready to queue for around 15-20 minutes during tea time (4-5 pm) but their service staff are really friendly and prompt in their service, I was asked 3-4 times by different staffs how may seats I needed while I was waiting in line as they are all really keen in getting me a table soonest possible (Thumbs UP!).
