I'm going back Smile Oct 06, 2010

The plump butter croissant ($1.50) is wonderfully crisp and so buttery that it’s a heart attack waiting to happen. But I still prefer the one I had in Paris cuz that was ultra rich and yet so light.

Even better is the almond croissant ($2.20) — moist frangipani filling inside and crisp almond sugar topping on the outside. This is something we’ll definitely get again!

We had the custard and an pan (red bean) buns ($2 each). Both are good flavour-wise but more filling would be appreciated!

After buying the breads, we went over to the basement of Plaza Singapura to devour these goodies. One auntie actually walked up to us and asked where did we get the breads from! See, that’s how appealing they are =)

I love my bowl of ice cream Smile Oct 06, 2010

Though it was already past 10pm, the little cafe was still packed with people young and old. Love the happy vibe of the place!

All the ice creams are hand-churned and made on the premises at The Daily Scoop. There’s more than 40 flavours but not all are available daily.

My bowl of 3 scoops ($6):

Ginger Crumble — sweet ginger ice cream with a sprinkling of crystallised ginger. The star of the night!

Utterly Avocade — a blend of avocado and gula melaka. Beautifully smooth and creamy consistency.

Cha — earl grey tea sorbet. Light and refreshing~

I Like! Smile Oct 06, 2010

Initially, our intention was just to order mains from the ala carte menu. But we had a change of mind when we saw the weekend brunch ($32++ for 3 course) cuz it’s more value for money.

I’ve been craving for real, feel-good food like bircher muesli these days, so much so that I’ve been making my own quickie version at home. And that’s why I was delighted to see that Heart Bistro offers homemade bircher muesli! Definitely tasted better than mine, creamy and moist with lots of grated apple, nuts and berries~

This is my first time trying the Myanmar inspired pickled tea leaves with ripened tomatoes and mung beans and it caught me by surprise. I thought it’ll be a mild salad but no, no. It’s a mishmash of textures and strong flavours: spicy, salty and tangy all at once. Thumbs up for this.

For mains, I had the roasted black cod with baby spinach and edamame from the ala carte menu (additional $6++). The oily fish was moist and tender but the highlight was the ginger broth, incredily light and aromatic. Soba purists will probably wanna stone me when I say that I had a side of soba noodles to soak in all that pure heart-warming consommé~

Thanks to the kind folks from OpenRice and Chef Clement, I had one of the healthiest meal ever at Eden Sanctuary. I’ve been to the cafe before, twice when it was at Club Street, and was suitably impressed by the concept of floral cuisine.

We had a variety of different dishes and my personal favourite was the mushroom wrap~ Love the brilliant combi of crunchy walnut, sweet marigold, sautéed mushroom and tangy lemon, all wrapped up in a wild pepper leaf!

I liked the pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and olives least cuz it's too bland and plain. Too simple can be too boring sometimes.

It’s awesome to watch the crème brulée being torched right in front of my eyes! I’ll gladly forgo the caramelized sugar top anytime cuz to me, it’s all about the rich custard base. Smooth? Check. Soft? Check. Real vanilla beans? Check!

Any idea what’s Modena in Italy famous for? Google and you’ll see that it’s balsamic vinegar! Well, ever try a dessert made with it? I did, and while the Modena mousse cake is interesting, I’m still not convinced I like vinegar in my sweets.

So, is it possible to have a flavoursome 7-course dinner that’s less than 1,000 calories? It’s been tried and tested: at Eden Sanctuary, you can =)

Best ice cream at best prices Smile Oct 06, 2010

I always get the coffee, chocolate stout, rum & raisin if I can. This time I had the latter two cuz coffee wasn’t available ($3.70, medium cup). Rum & raisin is still one of the best ones I’ve ever tried but that day’s particular batch of chocolate stout seemed somewhat watered down and not as potent as I remember it to be.

Granny’s Favourite (chocolate, malt and cookie dough) is one of the bestsellers and I think there’s gonna be a protest if the good people at Tom’s Palette ever take it off the menu, lol. Melt & Sizzle invokes memory of childhood cuz of the huge chunks of “popping candy” chocolate in it. Very old school and retro~

Somehow, I wasn’t satisfied after licking the cups clean… So no choice but to get another cup =)

Chocolate sorbet is decent but doesn’t taste as dark as it looks. And look, I’ve found another new favourite: Black Swirl — a lovely concoction of black glutinous rice in rich coconut, nice!
