In this week's They Say One, we headed down to Plaza Singapura for some soup. Now this is soup like no other. It's the kind of soup you'd want even on a blinking hot day! Yeap...that's how good this soup is.

You'll have to excuse, Julius. He thinks he's the next big thing...'thinks' being the operative word here.

So about this soup, it's thick and brothy and I'm salivating just thinking about it.

Our favourite is the Seafood Bisque. Couldn't have enough of that. I also really liked the Broccoli and Cheddar. Julius, couldn't fathom anything with Broccoli being yummy, but I think he secretly liked it.

This is James, our soup pourer with chops of steel! Check those side burns out, Julius could learn a thing or two from him.


Top row from the left, we have Tomato, Potato and Leek and Wild Mushroom soups. Followed by my favourites, Brocolli and Cheddar and Seafood Bisque.

We've heard rave reviews about their soups but how are their crepes?

They're AWESOME!

I kept thinking something's gotta give, their soups and crepes can't both be good, right?

Wrong!

Their crepes are really thin and consistent which makes you want to punch yourself for not having tried them sooner. The mushroom and cheese crepe (above) we tried was overflowing with melted cheese and chunky mushroom pieces.

Next, we had the Nutty Nutella crepe (above). For all you chocolate lovers and haters out there, this will satisfy you in every way possible... Nutella + freshly made crepes = foodgasm (I coined that term myself. I should trademark it...)!

Personally, I would order both the Cheese and Mushroom and Nutty Nutella, because choosing just one would be a sin. And yes, the nutella one smells like a warm, chocolate hug.


If you're thinking of having a family outing at Saybons and are concerned about seating, fret not! They'll be expanding in August 2010 to a sit-in bistro right next to their current location (right where Julius is pointing, that's if you can spot him).

Another thing...you know how you can't bring food into the cinemas unless it's from the cinema snackbar? Ok, I know most of us sneak in food in our big mother of a bag, yes ladies...I know your secret, cos I do it too! Here's some great news...Saybons cut a deal with GV Plaza to allow cinema goers to bring their soups into their theatres.

How cool is that? Well, it does take away the joys of sneaking around but I'm not complaining!

From experience, once you've tried a Saybons soup, you'll be craving for it especially when you're under the weather. Hell, they're so good you might even consider falling ill on purpose so you can get your mom to bring you some :)
