MAS: Air Mata Kucing Stall @ Petaling Street

Cooling effect of 'cat's tears'!

I'm going to do a very simple review today. The humble air mata kucing (lit. cat's tears) stall located at the junction of Petaling Street and Jalan Hang Lekir has been brewing the ever-popular concoction of dried longans, Monk's fruits (usually known as luo han guo) and rock sugar.


It's said that the stall used to serve the drink in a steel cup, but you won't get to experience this anymore unless you bring your own :P Anyway, no worries, the drink doesn't contain real cat's tears!


Ice Air Mata Kucing RM 1.50 (~S$0.60)
Taste: 8.5/10

I enjoyed the drink till the last drop. While the taste of the Monk's fruits was dominating, one could always chew on the longans which gave out the natural juice that just blended well with the former. It also had just the right degree of sweetness. Pika's advice: For an additional 50 cents, you can get a cup of the drink without ice.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 8.5/10

It was my very first time to try air mata kucing, which is believed to reduce heatiness. Should it be easily available, I'd always get one whenever I feel like I'm going to have a fever.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.
