Ice Cream Chefs ... located along East Coast Road... How could I not visit this place?! It's a quaint little joint located near where Jackie's Bowl used to be.
Initially I'd thought the ice cream would be made on the spot ... haha the bimbo I am...
The ice cream is displayed like normal. There are many flavours to choose from including special ones like Chocolate and Hershey's, Nutella Delight, Mrs Smith, etc. The ice cream is made from real ingredients... not just flavouring. There's real durian meat in the Durian Decadence flavour.
And The really special thing they'd do for you is CUSTOMISE your ice-cream. You can add Loacker's wafers, Oreos... into your ice-cream!! You can even mix flavours...
One large pint will cost $9.50. Two pints was nice for 3 people who loved ice cream.
I think it's worth a try. The quality is pretty good and it's great fun! The ambience is very casual with music from the radio in the background. You can choose to sit inside or outside... total seating area for about 20 people .
This is one site that all book lovers should join. Find books in BookJetty and it'll search through Amazon for details and listing of the books that matches your query. The most exciting thing is the integration of the search of the books in National Library too!! Yes! Our dear NLB! It'll tell you where you'll be able to find the book and whether or not its on loan and if you need the list of libraries with the book, you can even send a SMS to yourself so that you don't have to write it down on paper.
I've not been reading for long long long long time. (Apart from reading in Yebber and the other blogs I read.) But now with BookJetty, I might just pick up reading again! So loving the feature of BookJetty! Go try it to see it yourself!
I went to Bugis Junction not too long ago and I noticed that the food court was gone! Well ok, the one at the basement at least.
The foodcourt was shifted up to the 2nd or 3rd level, taking over where The Edge used to be if I'm not wrong. So now there's this whole corner that's solely for the foodcourt. I thought the new interior of the foodcourt was quite nice. It gave it abit more class; a level above the normal foodcourts you see around. With the cushioned chairs it actually give me a slightly oriental feel, somehow. =x
However, the bad thing about the place was that there were too few seats. With the new tables and all, it took up even more space than usual. There was a lack of tables and even walking space.
On the other hand, the foodcourt now seems to have many more stalls! I even saw pepper lunch and such! It was quite interesting because, well you don't usually see a fastfood outlet in a foodcourt do you.
The overall feeling was that the quality of food was better and there was a larger variety of food. Worth a try at least(:
This is the place where my dog visits when something happen to him. Decided to give this place a try when it is quite near to my home.
The doctors and the nurses there are very professional, good and friendly. They are also very patient in answering all the silly questions that I might asked whenever I visit them as well.
They got quite a huge following, whenever I am there, theyre always seems to have a lot of ppl as well.
I know the owner of this cafe and decided to give it a try when me and my friends are nearby.
The placer is a bit small but cosy. The tables are tend to be a bit close together co not much or privacy.
The kitchen cum bar is open concept. So prepared to smell a lot of different food being cooked! Haa.....
The food there got salad, sandwiches etc and I was recommended to try Slow-Roasted Pulled Pork. It was good! The meat is tender, no fats and simply melts in my mouth. Hee.... If you cannot decided what you wanna to eat and got a group of frens, maybe you can try the platter of sandwiches, which come with soup as well.
Their desserts also got a lot, cakes to pudding. I loved their chocolate cake pudding. Not too sweet and not too bitter as well. Jz nice.
The place tend to attract more students as it is linked to the tution centre above the cafe.
I am also a fan of TCC. Always would try to hang out there to chit chat with my frens whiel waiting for the movie to start.
It is a place that serves a wide variety of coffee and tea, both hot and cold. I loved their Jap red bean ice blend drink, and other special types of drink that they had mixed. Their coffee offer the widest choice to choose from. Usually I will jz go for their mocha. Hee....
Their food, both snacks and main, are great. I loved their wedges, fried mushrooms and many more. Main dish, I like their chicken chop together with a curry. Nice!
The deco in this outlet is good espcially inside the sofa areas. If you had not been there, give this place a try when you walk past it next time! Rememebr to ask for air con seats to try out their sofa ok! Hee....
Decided to try their donuts when 8 Days recommended their donuts. The queue was not that long but still a good 20 mins wait.
The variety of the donuts is not a lot compared to others. Got an assorted set. After tasting a few, not really impressed with the donuts, find them a bit too sweet for liking. Too me it is jz like overated dough!
Been there once before both 4th level and 8th level. Personally I prefer the 8th level as the room are larger and the sofa and everything seems in better shape.
One thing that impress me on the 8th level is they used wireless mic instead of wired mics and it is a big plus. Hee..
The drinks there are quite standard nothing to shout out about but getting on the smaller side.
The songs are up to date but sometimes the system reaction to the remote control is a bit slow.
One thing good about Kbox is if you booked the room until midnight and no one books the room after midnight they will aloow you to sing until someone is taking over the room.
Had dim sum at Victor's. Quality is quite good while prices are relatively cheap.
Victor's custard buns were probably one of the better ones that I've tried so far, with the custard milky, smooth and moist while the bun soft, fluffy and warm. The only thing that's lacking is the richness of the custard, which I did find a little lacking. Maybe I'm just picky.
Tasty Chicken (Hong Kong Style) - I didn't find this dish too fantastic as the taste of the rice wine was overwhelming and personally, I'm not really a fan of chicken cooked this way.
The Char Siew Cheong Fun was probably one of the weakest links in Victor's offerings. The skin was a little too thick and came across as rather starchy, unlike the silky smooth and translucent thin skins that good cheong funs should have. The char siew was rather normal as well, which kinda sealed the fate for this dish.
The Tasty Queen size Siew Mai wasn't really queen size per se. It was just slightly bigger than your average siew mai. What I liked about it was that the proportion of fatty meat to lean meat was relatively low, which didn't make me queasy after eating too much. But the skin was a tad too dry though
A hot favourite amongst customers, the prawns in the har gao were very fresh, albeit not too crunchy. The skin was nicely done, lightly stretchable and not too thick, but please eat it when its still hot.
Marginally smooth with a fair amount of bite best describes the Scallop, Sausage Carrot Cake. Sure it isn't exactly near the best that I've eaten, but for the price, no one's complaining. One gripe though, I couldn't taste or make out any traces of scallop or sausage in the carrot cake. Talk about misrepresentation.
Maybe its a norm to call it something as grand as phoenix porridge in Hong Kong, but in Singapore, we call it pi dan chow, or century egg porridge. Victor's rendition wasn't the least bit impressive, being average at best. The porridge tasted like normal slightly runny porridge with small pieces of century egg and prawn balls in it.
A filling dim sum brunch for 2 pax cost us about $20, which is cheap for the above average quality dim sum that you get. Of course there are better ones out there, but don't forget that they cost a lot more too. Try this place out, but please don't get your expectations too high and you will enjoy it.
In the past, I never really bothered about the smell or the quality of the seats in cinemas. But after reading what people have to say, I subconsciously begin to notice these things. Lately, I've been to 2 cinemas and it did give me some grounds for comparison. I realized that actually the cinema at Century Square is not bad a place after all!
I like the place because firstly, they don't have any weird smells around. Instead, they had this slightly sweet smell lingering in the air! I don't know what was that, but it's better than something stinky right. (;
Secondly, this place may not be brand new but their seats are a fair distance apart so it gives some reasonable leg space. Only that I think if people were to be through, there'll be a slight problem, unlike GV Marina. It has big leg space!
Thirdly, I like the seats! I think it's one of the more comfortable ones I've been to (other than Suntec City, where I sat on the couches! Haha). The seats curve in a certain angle, somehow it suits your back shape better. It makes it comfortable for seating for a long time and doesn't give backaches (for me at least =x), as compared to when I was at GV Marina Square. But I think a comfortable seat is more important than anything else!
Well, it's not too bad a place I guess. It's not that packed most of the time I think, as more people seem to go to tampines mall just beside. I think I'll probably go there more, now that I find a more comfortable place (:
