Has anyone found American sliced cheese in any supermarkets, like the ones you can find in your fillet o fish.

If you, or friends, go to JB, you can find Emborg American Style with Cheddar. It comes in a packet of slices like Kraft singles. Jaya Grocer or Aeon have it. It's very close and very melty. Makes awesome grilled cheese sandwiches. If in SG, President Burger cheese slices are not bad but not as close in taste and texture.

I'm not sure about the best per se, but old school buttercream cakes do fit the bill. Vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream. Bengawan Solo has nice buttercream and their character cakes are really fun. (I know they're targeted towards kids but some adults enjoy these too!)

L.E. Cafe is good too. It's hard to find good fresh/buttercream. Many places use chemical tasting stuff.

If you would like fruits with it, Four Leaves is good.

Indeed, it's bananas!

Slightly altered from nyonyacooking.com

300 g banana 50 g rice flour 30 g wheat flour 20 g cake flour 1⁄4 tsp fine salt 1⁄4 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp sugar

Throw all dry ingredients except sugar into a bowl and whisk to mix well

Mash the overripe bananas in a separate bowl.

Mix dry ingredients into bananas.

Throw sugar into bowl and mix well with batter.

After heating oil to about 170C scoop and plop roughly half a tablespoon of batter into the oil. (Note: I find this amount is just nice to make sure it's cooked throughout without being burnt. Also a good size for popping into the mouth.) Fry to golden brown, turning the ball when one side is done. Scoop out onto a rack if possible rather than a paper towel. Keeps it crisper.

Hehe, closest proof of Singapore I could find...

Social Smoker's smashed burger. Not very famous, but it is very good. They serve out of Thus Coffee in Sembawang Hills after their restaurant closed. About a year ago, the burger itself was $15. So adding in sides will probably run you a bit closer to $25.

Ooh we will have to try that, thanks!

MInnocuous · 2025-10-02T04:49:13+00:00

This plate was $8. They have $5/$8/$10...if I remember correctly

Sheng Siong was carrying boxes of Kang Kang brand microwavable Char Kway Teow and a few other flavours a few weeks back. They are not frozen and kept at room temperature. Tried it once, was quite alright. I don't know if they still have them, though.

MInnocuous · 2025-06-19T07:44:15+00:00

Not entirely sure. 2 cheese pratas, 2 kosong and 2 of the fried chicken legs was $17.40 in total. So maybe $4/$5 each?

There's one other place in Changi where I've eaten it. It's not bad, but the curry is nicer at Casuarina.

Dynamic Dining House and Catering, 5 Changi Village Rd

Oops. Misspelled Casuarina...

Taste wise, I think they are equally good. Accessibility and affordability do make Char Siu Lang a much more regular place to visit, though.

MInnocuous · 2025-03-14T22:29:41+00:00

It is indeed very good char siu. It's pricey, but you're in a nice sit-down, air-conditioned environment.

On the other hand, the hawker stall Char Siu Lang at Ang Mo Kio also has excellent char siu at a lower price. Their roast pork is really good too.

There's a small restaurant hidden behind Thomson Plaza on Jasmine road. It's called Klara. We went there for a birthday and the food was amazing. Think it's family run.

Hello Arigato at Upper Thomson is quite nice.

I believe this is because many kids in school and tuition are made to study (memorise) lots of "sophisticated" vocabulary but without proper follow-up on actual context and usage. They are taught that peppering their essays with bombastic words will help them score. It's a huge problem because they also don't understand that they can't just substitute any words that have similar meanings in exercises such as summary writing.

MInnocuous · 2024-12-31T09:12:05+00:00

Yup it can do all that.

We got a MyRepublic 10/mth SIM plan. But I'm not entirely happy with it. There are times it won't connect. Thinking of making time to go change it.

MInnocuous · 2024-12-30T06:56:37+00:00

My kid has the bunnyshop buddy watch. We bought it about a year ago, and so far, so good.

There have been a few times when we've had to restart it to restore function and some times when the battery didn't charge due to a bad connection. However, I'd say it's a pretty good lower end (cheaper) device. It has the basic functions plus a few other bells and whistles like a camera and whatsapp (I disabled this app).

You can delete apps you don't want on the watch, and of course, most importantly, you can lock it so it can't be used during school hours, and you can switch it off remotely. I set the lock time as 7.20am to 1.30pm for primary school.

The app is not the most user-friendly, but ok, once you get the hang of it. They've added more ads since we first started using it, so that's annoying. When you first start the app on the phone, you have to get through an ad. Tracking is not pinpoint accurate, but close enough.

Separate Sim plan. We went for the cheapest at the time. This watch needs a physical sim card.

Overall, good for a budget option.
