Global Mat Soul Kitchen’s briyani

The box of briyani with achar

It was more than a month ago (some time in September 2022) when I saw the notification from Global Mat Soul Kitchen’s instagram that he was opening orders for his “mutton ov doom” aka mutton briyani.

I had followed his account for much longer and since it was the first time in a long while that I finally got that notification, I knew I had to try it.

Were all those articles about his briyani being the best really true? What is all the hype about it? What’s this mysterious briyani?

To get it, you had to follow the exact instructions and be polite about it because hey, this person really did cook food for you if you managed to get an order in time.

What I had to do was message my order, follow said instructions and go to the specified pick up point with my own plastic bag. Remember! Bring your own bags and make it sturdy. There has been a sad tale when one customer’s plastic bag broke and all the beautiful briyani was strewn upon the cement floor.

At this point of blog post, you might ask me was it worth it?

Well, duh. Yes, it is.

But hey, this is a Sarah post, so heck that if you wanted a tl;dr version you’d read other people’s reviews with pictures.

Springleaf Prata’s Praclette

The Springleaf Prata’s Praclette is the 2021 Ultimate Series offer.

I told my friends and viewers, if I got at least 250 subscribers on youtube, I will try it out and do a reaction video of how it tastes like since one of them is in Malaysia and wanted to know what is this prata.

Here you go, this is my take. Maybe you’d like to try the praclette yourself since everyone has different tastes.

Milo High Club

Welcome to the Milo High Club! It’s not an official club since we’re not sanctioned by Nestle or actual Milo but since I really like Milo a lot, I imagined why not make a casual “club” where I can proclaim the beauty of Milo chocolate malt drinks, food and snacks?

Each week or fortnightly, I will post about the various Milo products I consume or recipes by friends since everyone drinks their Milo differently or have their own special technique.

HOW CAN YOU JOIN THE MILO HIGH CLUB?

Milo High Club flyer form

You can RIGHT CLICK and open new tab HERE for a Milo High Club form/flyer and make your own membership club at the bottom.

Print your own membership card and laminate it.

We’re not going for full professional feels here. We’re going for nostalgic vintage ownself-make-ownself-do clubs.

If you have a recipe or just want to proclaim your favourite Milo drink/product or style of having it, feel free to use the hashtag #milohighclub on your social media.

And if you EVER see a milo truck, please use the #milohighclub to alert the vicinity and if it is for the public to drink.

The Milo Truck Milo is one of the best Milos ever.

Is it the feeling of ‘drinking free milo on sports day as a kid’ or is it really because Milo themselves have the secret ratio to make it taste good?

WHO KNOWS.

Probably only Milo.

But do alert us if it’s around in Singapore, out and about for us to queue up.

This blog post is brought to you by a hot made in Singapore Milo Gao Siew Dai.

It’s a “3 in 1” pack where I just pour hot water and stir. The interesting thing is that, with a less sugar version, it tastes a bit more ‘bitter’ chocolate intensity compared to the more ‘default’ version.

Who knows, with the formation of the Milo High Club, maybe we’ll have milo tasting posts and I do definitely want to do an experiment of how can we make the Milo truck Milo without a truck.

With that said. What’s YOUR favourite style of drinking Milo? Hot? Cold? On the rocks, etc? Tell us here or via #milohighclub

White Rabbit Milk Tea

I got the White Rabbit Milk Tea at Cheers in Singapore. For those wondering how it tastes like, this is pretty much a reaction post.

White Rabbit Milk Tea CupIt’s a do it yourself kit with toppings included too.

White rabbit milk carton

I did get to try the white rabbit milk from a carton in December 2019 too and that one was pretty sweet to my tastes like condensed milk but ‘smoother’ consistency as typical milk.

Ingredients

But first the ingredients for the milk tea in the White Rabbit cup.

Noods & Meats

Noods & Meats : Smokehouse by Firdauz Nasir is at BLK 414, Yishun Ring Road, #01-1871, Singapore 760414.

It’s just a feeder bus away from Yishun interchange. If you’re looking for the shop, it’s not some fancy restaurant but is in a neighbourhood coffeeshop.

It’s not ‘certified Halal’ but it’s Muslim owned. When I went, it was late afternoon in their first week or so of opening.

SAD FOR ME because since I went late afternoon, most of their main meats were not available except for the platter sharing ones and those are huge

Singapore to Kuala Lumpur Bus trip!

Our trip for Comic Fiesta 2017 has too many pictures and exciting things that I decided to just separate it into different posts. This is for travelling from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur via bus aka coach.

Our choice company has always been Aeroline since it stops at Corus Hotel which is just a walk away from KLCC and thus in total around fifteen to twenty minutes walk to Trader’s Hotel.

Anyway, Aeroline always provides one meal on board including a hot drink, a bottle of water and the seats are way comfortable and the service is great.

It also has an on board entertainment with some movies, music and games (it’s funner if you ask your friends to join in on the system instead of versus-ing the computer).

That’s a freaking giant cream crackers ad. I was amused.

If you haven’t used Aeroline before, the pick up is at Harbourfront centre at the carpark for coaches.

From there we drive off to Tuas checkpoint, get our passports scanned (first on the Singapore side) and then stamped at the Malaysian side.

At the Malaysian side, you have to take out all your luggage and put it in the x-ray scanner then after all that, reload it back into the bus and you’re on your way to Kuala Lumpur!

Din by Din Tai Fung (Halal) at KLCC

(Click to enlarge the pics as always)

Is Din by Din Tai Fung, Halal? Yes it is. Where is it? The one I went to is at level 4, lot 417 at Suria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

I think that’s basically what you guys wanted to know. There’s alcohol in the beverages part of the menu but like many restaurants there, the food is halal while the drinks are separate.

The Geylang Bazaar! In app form

Geylang Bazaar app

Hi guys.

It’s only for Android but you can get the Bazaar Geylang ’16 over in the play store for free.

What’s this app? It’s a list of food places that are pretty unique besides the usual vadeh or burger ramly stores.

Pretty much my brother went ughh, so hard to find all the places so in the end…

We made an app to just list them all down. Stuff might not be too accurate but we tried to take pics of the price list too. For more details, read the google play description of the app!

Sorry iOS users, it costs a pretty penny to be a developer and to set up a store there so… tough luck!

TL;DR

My bro and I went about the crowd taking pictures of nearly every stall of notable food. The rest were generic then no need to take pic. He coded the app, the end.

Pull it

Pulled beef fries with cheese

I just wanted to talk about this pulled beef fries with cheese I ate at Wilder. It’s under the ‘sides’ in the menu if you ever decide to visit them.

My crew and I just wanted to go there for the desserts but we did skip lunch somewhat just to eat dinner, so there. We ordered our mains which was pretty delicious and pretty much choped the tarts that was left that night.

However, this pulled beef fries and cheese.

This is not meant to be shared.

It’s meant to be hoarded by one or you could buy the pulled beef with the mashed cauliflower and vege instead because wow.

As Max said. This is like a Halal version of what char siew is.

The caramelization.

The softness.

The generous pile of beef under that baked cheese.

Oh no, oh no.

And there were four of us there.

It was gone.

Just gone.

Good bye.

No more.

And then our mains came so all was well.
