Ice-cream at Udders

CP wanted to have ice-cream at Udders once more. As usual, the ice-cream were tasty. I had alcoholic ones whereas CP went for Choc and Cookies n Cream. Baby still didn't like cold stuff.

$1 for ice-cream

Good deal, a tub of Swensens ice-cream for $1 if you charge at least $100 to your HSBC cards. We had a total of 5 tubs, yummy!

Nov Celebration 5 - Dan Ryan's!

I've been crying out for some good steak. Longbar Steakhouse wasn't too satisfying so I made sure that we should get it right this time. What better place than Dan Ryan's? Did I also mention that it's no-holds-barred feasting for Nov as well? :D

It's been almost 10 yrs since I last visited it. I used to got there with CP when we were dating, so much so that I can still remember the decor. Little has changed when I stepped back in again. I still remember the seats and the posters on the walls :)



True enough, the 12 oz ribeye doesn't disappoint. At half the price of Morton's or Longbar, it's fantastic. It's grilled nicely, just a slight burnt taste and juicy on the inside. You can see the grilled marks on the slab of meat quite clearly. I can never understand how some restaurants can cook that steak until it's almost black ...

There is no fanciful sauce to go with it, you just dig into it plainly. Sweet and juicy!



What you have though, is sea salt to go with the steak.



CP had trout, which wasn't really their specialty. Nothing great to it. If you hate bones, then this isn't for you too.



The dessert is to-die-for! It's the best molten chocolate cake ever! Right now, it's at the top of my list! It's the first time I saw such overflowing molten chocolate, not to mention the cake was warm and moist. Topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice-cream, it's heaven!

Craving for Mudpie

Not just mudpie but deep fried chicken wings as well ... oops.

Worth mentioning is the mudpie at coffee club. It's still as good after all these years. Too bad they took away the country pie ...

Chocolate Cravings

Time of the year to have some chocolate desserts again. What better than to go to Spageddies for simple, indulgent chocolate cake and brownies. The best thing is, it doesn't cost a bomb.

Worth mentioning is the Pepperoni Bread. Although stated as a starter, I think it's big enough to serve as a main. Preferably shared between 3 to 4 people.



Nice desserts:

Tokyo Trip

The posts on our Tokyo trip are finished. This was truly a trip well worth the price and the experiences were as refreshing as the first time.

It was in this trip that we first tried Kobe beef and all sorts of other beefs... we love Japan so much that we feel like going back the moment we reached Singapore. Singapore is just too warm and humid...

Read about our travel experiences here.

Tampopo

A friend recommended this Japanese restaurant at Liang Court but warned of the long queue. SO off we went to check it out after chuch in the morning. Even in the afternoon, it was packed.

We didn't mind counter seats facing the kitchen, so we got in immediately. It's hot facing the kitchen, but as we just came in from the cold pouring rain, it wasn't too bad. Well, you can catch all the cooks in action too.



Tokusen Sushi - $43

Thankfully the uni sushi tasted alright, no fishy taste there. A pity it's just one, I could have slurped more of it but probably it contributed to a significant part of the plate's price.

Wafu Steak - $16.8


Shabu Ramen - $13.8

Pork Bone Kyushu Ramen made from Japanese black pig.

Phew ... we got to stop eating Japanese for a while. It's too expensive in Singapore.

To top it off, we had ice-cream from the basement to round it off ... there are a whole of Japanese eating joints there also!

Shin Kushiya

We are on the prowl for Japanese food again. After church, we know we must try out this new kid on the block at Suntec.

Sashimi Moriawase - Fresh enough but somehow, I prefer my sashimi thinly sliced.


Happened that I came across Wafu Beef in a magazine article about an hour ago ... hmm, let's try it since it's on the menu here.

Tender and succulent pieces of beef, coupled with the soya sauce, makes you want to keep biting more.

Mixed Kushiyaki Set

Oh boy, the yakitori is fantastic. I like the minced meat wrapped between mushrooms, the grilled prawn and of course, the favourite "asparagus wrapped in pork slice". Each piece is lightly salted, grilled nicely, not too charred and tender juicy shiok!

CP has a so-called Ladies Set, probably because each servings is in bite size. However, she was just as full when finished with it.

It comes with sushi, yakitori, udon, salad and that which we like best - the toufu cheesecake! This toufu cheesecake is even more flavourful than that in Shoduko.

Even though both of us are truly full to bursting, we still could not resist a bit of dessert.

Warabi Mochi

The matcha ice-cream is a bit too thick for our liking though. We still prefer that from Ajisen and Ichiban Boshi.

Marvelous Cream

Forget about Swensens, Hagaan Daz and Ben & Jerry ice-creams. Head down to Marvelous Cream at CityLink Mall for an unique ice-cream experience now!

I was there on Fri and tried the Gelee de Caffe Mocha. There's so much fun looking at how the staff mix, match and make the ice-cream. My ice-cream is made up of espresso ice-cream with coffee jelly, fresh cream, koo belcher choc and my fav white choc slices.

The end result? Marvellicious! :)

One thing funny though... it says French Sweets Parfait on the shop front but when I stepped in, I was greeted in japanese and songs that were broadcasted were in japanese, hmm... so is it French or Japanese?

Chocolate goes vintage

Yep, spotted another new addition at Coffee Club. Chocolate mousse made from Valrhona chocolate - Chocolate Delice from Coffee Club.



From Wikipedia:
Valrhona is a French chocolate manufacturer based in the small town of Tain L'Hermitage in Hermitage, a wine-growing district near Lyon. The company was founded in 1924 by a French pastry chef from the Rhône valley and has five subsidiaries and 60 local distributors across the globe. It is today one of the leading producers of chocolate in the world. The company also maintains the École du Grand Chocolat, a school for professional chefs with a focus on chocolate-based dishes and pastries.

Flower Blossom

That's what it is at Haagen Dazs. This is by far the best sundae there. The fondue had gone for the worse, prices has gone up exponentially. So it's comforting there is still one good ice-cream sundae around.
