My Pumpkin Rice ($1.50) that went with a bowl of Ginko Pork Tripe Pepper Soup ($5.50). The rice was really tasty by itself and I could have easily gobbled up 2 bowls. Traces of pumpkin and dried shrimps could be found in the rice. The soup was peppery and spicy! Perfect choice during a rainy day when you wanted to sweat it out. Those ingredients were definitely not my liking as I ordered it just for the peppery soup. They were too chewy and weird for me to handle! I tried dipping the ingredients into dark sauce and they tasted much better. Continuously dipping them made the dark sauce diluted as soup kept dripping in. I don't mind going back again to try out other soup variety. (A good news for soup lovers like me because the soup was refillable!)

Finally I was not the one choosing the place to dine and I just be a follower to Lkj's choice of place. As he mentioned
that he had eaten from this restaurant a couple of times before, it was not surprising that he had porridge in mind the
moment he looked at the menu. As for Ngy, he decided to have this noodle. (My bad for not remembering the names of all the dishes, as my mind was really filled with awe after the Avergers movie!) Bad lighting made the noodles looked unappetising even though he said that the dish was great. Pjj had the fried fish, with ramen of course (I did not take picture of the bowl of plain looking ramen as Ljq and I also had ramen). No comments at all which made me having to think hard of what to type. Anyway, looked quite dry and too much excess flour to me. As for me, I had the spiced beef with ramen. Thin slices of beef with jellied-looking fats visibly around, adding additional dimension to its flavour. I had to add some chili oil into my soup for a tingle of spiciness because it tasted too bland. Lkj said that the beef was much tastier than the usual beef dish that he normally order (not sure which) As for Ljq, he decided to have a higher-class looking wanton noodles soup. I doubt he enjoyed eating it, maybe also due the space constraints. (Heard more comments about the lack of space instead of his food from him.)As for the shrimps chee cheong fan, we ordered to share among ourselves. With the slightly oily gravy, it was a typical Chinese restaurant dish that tasted not too bad. I had a little bit of shrimp and luckily my allergy did not kick in badly. (Washed down the itch with a warm cup of chrysanthemum!)

he first thought that came into my mind when the Chendol was served was 'so big serving, am I able to finish it?' I actually had Chendol less than 5 times in my life as I would normally order an ice kachang or other desserts in food centres. I don't remember seeing such large serving size of Chendol in food centres though. The first thing that caught my attention was the gula melaka. I stared at it in horror at the gooey pile resting comfortably, taking its desired shape across the ice. No way I wanted so much sugar intake that day! Besides that, the sight of those beans disgusted me as I am not really a fan of them. Worse still, now that they had got bigger. After mixing all up, as expected it was too sweet. I could not stand the sweetness and requested for more ice. With the extra shaved ice, the taste was just awesome. Fragrant from the gula melaka and coconut milk, chunky from the grass jelly and the green worm-like jelly made from rice flour. Not that I am fussy, but having too much jelly really irritated me as the drink should be the priority.

Of course the first thing I took picture of was the sauce! It was set nicely on the table for each of us in the private room.
Lucky we had the private room as it was more comfortable and we had more privacy. If your common sense seems to lag,
you will know that we can be very noisy and vulgar (army style). Anyway, back to the sauce, typical Thai style, mild
spiciness with plenty of chopped parsley. I dipped everything into it before eating as it just tasted so good! Worked
especially well as gravy over the noodles too.
Our steamboat pots were arranged in the form of a Bermuda Triangle. (2 chicken stock and 1 Tom Yam) Like the actual
Bermuda Triangle, almost everything that went into those pots to cook, would disappear into our stomach. Sadly except
for those meatballs (shrimp, beef or chicken), they had magnetic field problems which our stomachs repelled. (Explanation later!) We ordered a few rounds of ingredient to add into our 'Bermuda Triangle'. Although the variety was not a lot, it was counter-balanced by the freshness of the ingredients. Time for the meatballs part. Seeing this picture was enough to make me wanting to puke. Not sure why but these meatballs left the most memorable impression for us. We ordered too many of them and ended up for the last half an hour, we had plenty of meatballs in the pots. I myself ate more than 10 of them and totally did not want any more to appear in front of my eyes.

Finally I had the chance to try out Antoinette's Antoinette (the cake which I ordered). Luckily for me, that day was not crowded as compared to weekends. I got a cosy seat by the corner, right under the light so that my pictures were
clear (so fortunate as the whole place was a little dim for clear shots). Right after being seated comfortably, I ordered straight away and waited super impatiently for my cake to arrive.
The cosy interior of Antoinette really suited me! Classy, cosy, sensual. A perfect place for small group gathering (provided the group do not make too much noise to spoil the ambiance). More perfect for a date with your lover as well as with family members. My cake finally arrived in front of me! I suspected that I may have a strange fetish for smooth and glossy looking cakes as I could not help admiring its surface. The booklet behind was actually the menu which I did not even flipped once as I was aiming the cake from the display counter the moment I stepped in. Instead of digging into Antoinette, my first reaction was to poke the red bubble resting on top of it. It was firm but clearly contained something within. I made a cut across the bubble, causing a small flow of jam to leak down slowly. I have no intention to spoil your appetite but it really reminded me of a female having her period! (No offence) Alright, enough of playing around and let my mouth do the job. I actually spread the sourish raspberry jam over the cake, hoping that it was the right way. The bubble was like jelly and I ate it appreciatively. Before I knew it, I have already eaten half the cake! (You must be dying to know how was it?) One word, heavenly! The first wave of taste that hit me unaware and flooded my mouth was the earl gray. After a few mouths, the taste of earl grey no longer lingered, but was overtaken by the more intense second wave of the chocolate (mousse/chocolate/crunch/sponge)! It was really an exclusive treat that inspired me with awe.
