Miam Miam Café @ Bugis & Westgate




So yesterday night, I headed down to the Miam Miam @ Bugis Junction for a meal with my polymates.. I suggested this place, cause i wanted to try the awesome looking Soufflé!


Above is the savory baked soufflé rice that my bff ordered, if you love scrambled eggs or steamed eggs, you'll definitely love this! Underneath the smooth egg custard was some awesome tasting rice with bunaji mushrooms, for a $15+ meal, it was worth every single cent..


Then a friend ordered their "modern" yaki, smelled like tako balls cause of the bonito flakes. I like it because of the omelette on top of the pasta, and cause it tasted like tako ball pasta... For $15+, the portion was enough for 2 girls to share..


The miam miam spagetti is their signature dish, so basically it tasted like a non-spicy version of aglio olio with a hint of the bacon's aroma, but again it was a large portion, good for guys. If you like runny eggs, you'll probably like this dish, cause after mixing it with the pasta, the yolk made it gooey.. XD


My friend wanted something light, so apparently the menu has salad A and salad B, so you'll have to check with the waiter for the salad of the day. So she got this french salad for $7.50.. Just a salad, nothing much to rave about, but portion was pretty small as compared to places like watami with equivalent pricings for their half salad..


Last but not least, the famous matcha soufflé! I ordered this at $9.90, and the presentation and temperature was superb.. Though it was a tad too sweet even for a sweet tooth like me, and the texture that day was a lil too runny in the middle, but i still love it! (Hoshino's version is superb too)

Overall, this is a place with pastel colored furniture, and cute booth seats, for pastas, soufflé and matcha drinks and dessert. Miam miam is located at level 2 of Bugis junction, once you come out of the escalator, walked towards Levi's direction and you will find it just in front of cottonon..

They don't take reservations, so you'll have to queue, i waited a good 0.5hr, and they don't "seat you in" until you have full attendance from your group, so when they are busy, the staff who attends to the people in the queue tend to be quite rude. Water is charged at 50cents per pax, but its refillable with a lemon slice in the flask.. Price range below $20 per pax if you only order 1 dish and ice water. 

 
I went back last week with my colleagues, riz au curry is an awesome dish, awesome jap curry with my favourite sausage, brocolli and egg, they had a variation that combined the soufflé, it was an equivalently awesome dish too, i preferred the soufflé version as i'm an egg addict.

This is their chicken teriyaki spaghetti, apart from the not so cooked noodles which was kinda hard, other than that this dish was a fairly huge portion, and smelled so fragrant with the pork pieces that tasted like ham, and the leeks were superb too!

This time i tried their other desserts, matcha pancake with vanilla softee, cost us $10.80, but was superb, melted butter spreaded on top, warm pancake to match with the icecream! Though the matcha flavour here wasn't as strong as i hoped it to be.

Varlhona chocolate soufflé, same portion as the matcha one, pretty small but worth it, the chocolate wasnt too sweet, it had this bitter sweet taste, not as sweet as the matcha one I had previously.

So if you prefer something "cakier" and not so soft, you can try their version of molten lava cake, which was served with ice cream, the picture in the menu deceived us, i thought that one plate that costs us $9+ would come with 4 cakes. End up 1 small lil cake with vanilla ice cream only. But nonetheless still quite nice, not too sweet, but i wont order again, rather have their pancakes.
