Saturday Dinner @ Dapur Jen's Kandahar Street + Supper @ I love TaiMei

The idea was brought out few weeks ago when Inche said that she missed Sate Padang. As resourceful as always, Fendi listed out the places in Singapore that served Sate Padang. Finally, our eating gang decided to give Dapur Jen’s a try today.

We met up at 7pm at Bugis. From there, we followed Mr Helios' direction and miraculously reached the place after getting a bit lost for few minutes. The restaurant was quite small, but have quite a few diners, mostly Caucasians. The are only one owner + one waitress there – both are quite busy but friendly.

Dapur Jen's - The Simple Menu
We started with ordering our favorite drink – The Sosro, then continued with Sate Padang and Gado-gado.
Teh Botol Sosro!
Sate Padang! (Beef only)
Gado Gado :D
Afterwards, we started to order our own main course and tested everyone elses course. The food was not bad, but of course it can never beat the real Indonesian cuisine cooked in Indonesia :)

Henry's Ayam Pop with Nangka!
Inche's Ox Tail Soup :)
Winson's Rawon Soup

My Soto Bekasi
Fendi's Soto Madura
Endy's Chicken Soto
I can't remember how much each dish cost, but it's at the range of 7 - 8 dollar, with total spent of $79 for 6 of us.

Done with the dinner, we decided to walk around and try to find our supper place :p We settled for I love taimei, which I saw quite frequently, but haven’t ever tried. I never know that they sell snacks as well. Always thought that they are purely selling bubble tea like Gong Cha and Koi The combo menu at Taimei is quite cute – with the name of all the famous artist like SHE, Da S, Xiao S, etc. Fendi go for “Selina” combo, while Winson and I just go for Caramel Milk Tea with Grass Jelly and Pearl (Upsize: $4).

We took our food and sat near the fountain area, chatting and watching the water attractions. What a way to spend the evening :) We stayed until around 10pm, and then decided to head to MRT. I feel so full and that’s when my guilty feeling started to hit me v_v I need more exercise so that I can eat more! Haha..

Happily eating fried food + bubble tea - feel young again! :p
With all the snacks - BBQ chicken, fries, fried tofu, and sweet potatoes
Till the next outing… soon! :p
