Icekimo

Yes, I find it amazing too. Me and Daphne's third ice-cream dessert in three days. Udders, Pluck, and now Icekimo. I was driving towards Hooked on Heads when she spotted this, and I put on a (very) weak and fleeting objection about us eating ice-cream again. Ice-cream (and chocolate) is something I don't think I can ever say no to. Pretty girly layout of the...

Hooked on Heads II

Me and Daphne meant to have roti prata at Casuarina Curry, but the car park was full and I made a U-turn back down to Upper Thomson Road. Since we realised that we have been going to Roti Prata House far too often, we decided to have dinner at Hooked on Heads instead. While known for their curry fish head, part of their menu is also dedicated to Thai specialties,...

Pluck

Nestled in one the dimly lit lanes of youngsters puffing on shisha is a small shop selling clothes, quaint gift items and yes of course, ice-cream! Me and Daphne just had Udders ice-cream yesterday, and here we are craving for more of this heavenly delight. Daphne refuses to admit that she loves and craves for it as much as I do, but she'd share it with me nevertheless...

Food Junction @ Bugis Junction II

More on the food from Bugis Junction's food court! Ayam Penyet Set: 7.7/10 If you hadn't known, "penyet" means flat (and "ayam", chicken). If I'm not wrong, it has its origins from Indonesia and what they do is really just use the sides of a chopper to literally flatten the fried chicken thigh or breast. I've tried some of the ayam penyets around, and I dare...

Udders Ice-Cream II

I love ice-cream. I wonder if, when I was a baby and had my very first taste of ice-cream, that I had grimaced from the sudden rush of cold, but then immediately wanted more. I've seen quite a few parents try it out on their children, and the little ones look awfully cute smacking their lips and gesturing for another lick. Ice-cream does the same for you, doesn't...

Pasta de Waraku II

Me and Daphne had our reservations about coming to Pasta de Waraku because of the terribly small portions during our previous visit here. I felt however that it deserves a second chance, especially since Globetrotter's at United Square (our initial choice) has closed down for yet another branch of Thai Express. Gratin Set Wafu Chicken and Egg Pasta: 7.5/10 Prawn...

Ishi Mura

John mentioned that he had watched a television programme about this Japanese-concept food court that has recently opened at the new wing of Yishun Northpoint, and suggested that we try it out. When you step into Ishi Mura, you get the feeling of being in both a Food Republic food court as well as a Shokudo restaurant at the same time. Probably from the excessive...

Gourmet Carousel

Perhaps I did have one small surprise in store for Valentine's, and that was the macaron-cake I got for Daphne. I was initially thinking of the round Rose Ispahan for her, and was delighted to find that they had created a special heart-shaped design just for the occasion. The box, I have to say, isn't as pretty as Canele's, but it's so adroable, isn't it. Looks...

California Pizza Kitchen

I really wish that there could be more California Pizza Kitchen restaurants around in Singapore, other than that solitary one at Forum. The quality of pizza is much better and not your usual run of the mill types like those served by Canadian Pizza and to some extent, Pizza Hut. Peking Duck Pizza: 8.3/10 Eating one of California Pizza Kitchen's popular pizzas...

Jalapeno's Pepper Express

Located just outside of KFC at the newly extended basement of Lot One Shoppers' Mall is a very small Halal-certified eatery that serves simple Western fare at very (I repeat: very) affordable prices. Me and Daphne thought it was worth a try, especially since we were reluctant to head up to the usual (boring) foodcourts on the upper levels of Lot One, and other...
