Miam Miam in Westgate : When Konichiwa meets Bonjour!

-
Everything wonderful in life comes in pairs. 
Harry + Sally
Batman + Robin
Tom + Jerry
Romeo + Juliet
Paul + Fran ♥ 

 It also makes sense for food to team up:
Peanut Butter + Jelly
Coffee + Milk
Burgers + Fries
Prata + Curry
...and the list goes on and on!

It then makes perfect sense for two gastronomic cuisines to pair up. Miam Miam is a casual restaurant that brings out the best from both the French and Japanese culinary worlds. We stumbled upon Miam Miam by accident when we decided to check out Westgate in Jurong East one weekend. I was immediate drawn towards the uber chic interiors and I'm glad that the boys were game to dine in such a dainty-looking restaurant with me.

We were initially hoping to start our meal with a pan of French Toast (S$15.8) but it took forever for the kitchen to prepare our order that it actually came long after we were all done with our main dishes making it our dessert instead. I wonder what special preparation was needed for this as we had to do a follow up 3 times and for the server to tell me "well, you'll have to wait because it's not Kaya Toast you know..it's French Toast." I just gave her a blank stare and a slight evil glare. Hmph! Iha, I'm not stupid noh!

Well, despite the nasty service, we were glad that the French Toast was pretty good. Fluffy toast which was lightly dusted with powdered sugar and served with a humongous scoop of whipped cream. It was good but then again I don't think I'm willing to wait for more than 30 minutes for this. I guess, I was just expecting more given the price and the nasty retort given by the server.

Moving on to our mains, as always Paul and I decided to share our orders. I tried the Modern Yaki (S$14.80) which is Italian Aglio Olio Pasta meets Japanese Okonomiyaki. The pasta was al dente and really delicious. I just love oil based noodles as it's so light and the taste is very clean. However, the okonomiyaki part didn't work out quite well in our opinion. It was just an overload of scrambled egg with cabbage and mushroom which sadly hardened up as it took me a while to dig in as I was busy taking photos of my dish. They have sprinkled sesame seeds and bonito flakes which didn't help in pulling together the flavor of the supposed okonomiyaki-inspired pasta. We just pushed the egg and cabbage aside and enjoyed the al dente pasta noodles with mushroom.

Luckily, Paul's choice -- the Souffle de Nuage (S$15.50) truly made up for what could have been a ho-hum lunch to one that we might do a repeat soon. Being fans of souffle, we enjoyed this huge serving of delicious and really flavorful curry rice baked and topped with the fluffiest, creamiest souffle. Judging from the menu, Miam Miam specializes in souffles and mind you, it's all reasonably priced! Nothing more than S$15! I will definitely go back to try these. This is probably the reason why the Souffle de Nuage was really good.

** Great news! I heard that Miam Miam will soon open a branch in Manila! I'll share more info with you as soon as I get wind of it **

Check out Miam Miam located at 01-21/22 Westgate, 3 Gateway Drive, Singapore (MRT: Jurong East). They also have a branch in Bugis Junction (MRT: Bugis). Call them at 6837-0301.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
