After having dinner, my cousins and I had cravings for ice-cream, so we decided to have some at Swensen's. Swensen's have a wide range of ice cream flavours, so naturally we thought of having ice cream there. We ordered their 'Giant Earthquake', which consisted of 8 scoops of different types of ice cream, topped with cherries and whipped cream.

Giant Earthquake was served it with dry ice in the middle, making it look really grand and delicious. As there were 4 of us, each of us got to choose 2 different flavours of ice-cream. We chose Butterscotch, Hazelnut, Durian Supreme, Milo, Mocha Almond Fudge, Ol' Fashioned Vanilla, Mango and Lime Sherbet. However, to our dismay, our ice cream arrived half-melted. Apparently, it was left on the counter for quite some time before it was served to us as the staff forgot about it.

Butterscotch: This tasted just alright to me. Plain boring butterscotch, nothing special.
Hazelnut: Light hazelnut flavour.
Durian Supreme: The BEST of the lot. Strong durian flavour, smooth and yet you could feel bits of durian meat in between. A definite must have!
Milo: Just milo. But still nice nevertheless. A must try if you're a Milo lover like me!
Mocha Almond Fudge: Mocha flavoured, with bits of almond in between. Nice combo.
Ol' Fashioned Vanilla: Nothing could go wrong with vanilla right? Smooth texture, and have a strong vanilla smell to it. Must-have in every ice-cream feast.
Mango: Nice and sweet mango-flavoured. I love mango ice-cream, so this went down with me well.
Lime Sherbet: This hit the right notes with me. Lime flavoured, with the right amount of sourness to it. Refreshing!

Overall, the price is worth it since we got to choose our own flavours for the ice-cream, and the ice cream itself are not bad too. Definitely will go again! Just hope our ice cream will be served frozen!

It was Vesak Day and since it was a public holiday and I did not have to work, my friends and I decided to go down to Plaza Singapura to eat the famous Tim Ho Wan dim sum. We have heard many rave reviews about it and decided to check it out ourselves.

Maybe because it was Vesak Day and many people have gone to the temples to pray, the queue was surprisingly not that long, and to think it was dinnertime (6pm). Nevertheless, we weren't complaining about that, since we get to eat faster. After queuing for approximately 1hr (which we thought was okay since people have queued up to 3hrs), we were ushered to our seats. The restaurant itself wasn't very big, and due to the crowd, some people had to share tables. The tables that were separated were quite close together too, so there wasn't much privacy. Luckily for us, we got a table at the far end corner.

The menu itself was not very extensive, and after ordering 2 rounds of dim sum, we found that there wasn't anything we wanted to try already. Service was good though, despite the crowd. Price wise, their food start from $4.50/basket/plate, which was quite affordable considering that it is a Michelin 1* restaurant.

Char Siew Bun: This was admittedly the best among all the food we tried. Despite having really little filling in it, the outer crust made up for it. It is crumbly and buttery, and goes well with the char siew filling. The char siew had just the right among of oomph to it. It was so delicious that we actually bought another 2 plates to takeaway. No wonder there's a limit to how many plates a table can order for this. And although the staff said they don't pack takeaways, customers who wanted to bring the food back were given a takeaway box to 'tabao'.

Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce: This was another dish that I liked. The chicken feet was cooked just right, sweet and soft. With the black bean sauce, it was just heavenly!

Prawn Dumpling: The prawns inside are HUGE! I've eaten at countless dim sum places, but this is the 1st time I've eaten prawn dumplings that have such big prawns. Not only that, they are succulent and fresh! Only thing is, I don't really like the skin of the dumplings. They felt abit too tough and dry for my liking.

Pork Dumpling with Shrimp: The taste was so-so for this dish. Maybe it's just me, but the taste didn't hit a chord with me. I only managed to eat one and gave the rest to my friends.

Overall, I felt that the food was ok, but I certainly will not queue again if the queue was long. Will patronize again for the Char Siew Bun, but only after all the hype have died down.

It was my cousin's birthday and I brought him to Ambush for dinner. It was our 1st visit there and the ambience was to to my liking. The lights were not too bright and it was a relaxing environment. I ordered the Crispy Chicken and Seaweed Pasta (S$13.00), while he ordered the Salmon with Thai Basil Sauce Pasta, which I forgot to take a photo of.

The staff who served us was friendly, and answered our questions promptly regarding the food available. Although the time it took our food to come was quite slow (we waited for about 20 minutes), but the food was totally worth the wait!

Crispy Chicken and Seaweed Pasta: The pasta was cooked to the right texture; not too hard yet not too soft. It was aglio olio style, and the chicken was really very crispy. The portion was pretty big, and I didn't manage to finish it all. However, I did finish the chicken as it was just too nice to waste! The outside was crunchy, and inside was tender. Not like those popcorn chicken we usually buy in frozen packs from the supermarket. Overall, 100 marks for this really nice place. Food is good, service was thumbs up too. Will come again!

This Noodles stall is just under my block, so I go down regularly to get a takeaway. So familiar with me that the lady boss knows what I want without having me speaking. Haha

For today, I ordered Fishcake Kuey Teow Dry. One may think it's weird having fishcake instead of the usual fishballs. I disliked fishballs, so I would alwys request the boss to allow me to have fishcakes instead of fishballs! That's also the reason why the boss remembers me so well; becos Im her only customer who has such an ususual request! Hehe.

The kuey teow is really nice, not too soft, and somewhat different from other places in the sense that black sauce is used instead of tomato ketchup for their dried noodles version.
Although there was only fishcakes and beansprouts in the whole dish, the taste of the sauce is good that I can eat the noodles on it's own without feeling that the whole thing is too plain. The fishcake is soft, while the beansprouts maintain their 'crisp' too.

Portion wise, it is just nice for me, and it is $3 which I think is pretty worth it as the ingredients are also given in generous portions.

Was chilling out with my friends and as they wish to have a drink, so we decided to drop by Starbucks at 313 Somerset.

My friends ordered hot chocolate, green tea mocha (I think), while I ordered Cookie Crumble. I dun usually go Starbucks, so Im not very familiar with their names. Ordered Cookie Crumble just bcos I saw it on Starbuck's board, and it looked super delicious.

It was $6.90, and my friend told me it was 1-for-1 before 7pm. Oh well, we went at 9pm, so it wasnt applicable. Nevertheless, I was really happy with my purchase!

I could select whether I prefer whipping cream on top (though I said no), and there was Chocolate cookie crumbs on top of the beverage. It was heavenly, and taste really like cookies. It was like I was drinking cookies! It was really delicious and something I can't describe until you try it yourself! Chocolatey and makes you craving for more!

Overall, the best drink I had from Starbucks! Heard it's new, so hopefully they dun remove it from their menu. I'll certainly go back for more soon!
