ICE CREAM! Smile Apr 03, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Ice Cream and Gelato

Writing food reviews or reviewing the ice cream standard on Tom's Palette is nothing new to most foodie or Openricer but I would still love to comment on it as 1stly, there are plenty different flavours of ice-cream, 2ndly, taste and choice of ice-cream depends very much on individual, 3rdly, this is my 1st visit after hearing so much about Tom's Palette and I've been wanting to try their creation since ages ago....

Since the next day is Good Friday and 1 happened to be in the vicinity while church visiting, I decided to check out this ice-cream parlour with my friend.

From far, I see a group of young students gathering in front of the fridge...Wow, seems like the place is packed on eve of public holiday. Despite the huge crowd in front, the friendly service staff greeted us warmly and introducing on their new flavours. they are super friendly and offer to let us sample some ice-cream even though we did not request for. I'm impressed by the way the staff are being train and they do know how to handle customers and introduce the flavours accordingly to customer's preference.

My friend tried the chocolate sorbet and before she can express her dislike on it, the service staff ask her is it because she prefers a creamery choice hence finds the dark chocolate sorbet too dry for her liking? True enough, my friend felt the same way and was offered to try chocolate banana.

 
My selection: Mocha Macnut & Chocolate Sorbet
Friend's selection: Salted Egg & Chocolate Banana

I'm a coffee and and dark chocolate lover hence the ice-cream which I've chosen are suits my taste perfectly. Dark chocolate are isn't too dry and they mild sweet...guess the % isn't that high. Mocha Macnut is well blended whereby it's not too overwhelming with coffee taste & I can still taste the fragrant of oily macadamia nuts. smile

Salted Egg shockedshockedshocked my 1st time tasting salty ice-cream! Isn't ice-cream supposed to be sweet?! And of all flavours... salted egg? the though of it reminds me of eating Teochew porridge! Lolz...But to my surprise, it taste GREAT! Simple fantastic..throw away the thoughts of real salty egg yolk as it TOTALLY doesn't have the flaky oily egg yolk nor super salty egg white taste. In fact, it's a well blended creamy yolk taste with a mild saltiness minus away the egg stink smell! Great!

Besides the great taste, friend service staff, another factor which i like is the REASONABLE PRICE. Considered cheap as compared to other artisan ice-cream. Less that $$ and i get to eat 2 different flavours. What's more, polytechnics and universities students gets additional 10%! smile

Bubble Tea Smile Nov 17, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Taiwanese | Bubble Tea/ Tea

Remembered there was a period of time where I'm super crazy, drinking the various brands of bubble tea in Singapore, collecting pictures just to do review on my personal food blog. Despite all the several new brands from Taiwan, I still prefer the type which has been here for ages....(earlier than sweet talk craze)

This particular cup walker has been in kovan for super long time. It used to be located at blk 204, somewhere near the dbs bank, shifted into the mall few years ago and gain a strong foothold till now.

 
their milk tea are known to be thick and smooth, valuable for $. Most popular is their pudding milk tea, alternatively, may opt for coffee crystal (which is coffee jelly) and such a big cup cost less than $2. So value for money.

 
Another of my favorite choice, which is also healthier. Jasmine green tea with aloe vera! Wow... taste best especially on a hot day.

Delicious Fried Hokkien Mee Smile Aug 19, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Coffeeshop | Noodles

1 of the few top best Fried Hokkien Mee ever had! Would rate you 4 and 1/2 chopsticks out of 5.
:chopstic:chopstic:chopstic:chopsticchopstickk:k:k:k:

The minus 1/2 chopsticks was for the chili which spoils the overall taste of the whole dish. In order to savour the original taste, have it without chil.

 
Simply love the texture of the thick rice vermicelli which are still QQ even frying for awhile. Tough the overall dish may seem wet but the broth are well absorbed by the yellow noodles which aren't soggy at all. Best part is the sweetness and freshness of the broth which totally enhanced the flavour of the dish. Thumbs up! smile

Reese's Sticks Smile Jun 09, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Desserts and Cakes | Kids-Friendly

My latest obsession~ Reese's!

 
I'm falling in love with these little wafer sticks sandwiches with thick peanut butter and coated with a layer of creamy chocolate! Yeah...simply sinful yet delicious!

I was being recommended by a friend to try Reese's and initially I was being told that it's peanut butter flavor hersheys. I searched high and low in Herseys, cant find it and went to candylicious instead! Seems like this is the only chocolate with peanut butter and decided to give it a try! Guess I made the right choice!
