Not much adventure this week but still have enough things to share.

Tucked away in Hougang Mall level 2, the queues of customer give it away.

This small dessert shop has less than 15 tables but the number of customers way exceed that.

The main character today is mango snow. The picture tells a million story - i can't wait to eat it which i did before i muster all my concentration to put down my spoon and take a picture.
















This cute little fellow is top with mango cubes and layers of sorbet, MANGO. The sorbet is shaved into layers almost like a tree which melt in your mouth. 4.25/5 $3.80

This shop also sells a number of hot & cold desserts and a few snacks, overall this is a good place to snack.

Halal Buffet

Well, to say the least its a hard find for such a buffet where its been certified halal. And places such as S*****'s food kind of sucky even though its priced very cheapy.

Luckily, we came across this place at Furama City Centre, Tiffany cafe. Nothing very special about this place other than its halal.

The food selection wise is quite standard, the quality wise is rather inconsistent. For example, the boiled prawns are very fresh whereas the oat prawns and black pepper ones are rather old which you can tell by the texture and the way the fresh sticks to the shell. Even though, the prawns are flavored but using not so fresh prawns is a definite no no.

I do have some compliments for the food, the salmon for example, its sliced according to the texture so that it would not have that rough texture when you bite on it. Kudos to the chef.

Oh before I end this, the durian puree is kind of weird as its a mixture of durian and coconut milk which in the earlier portion went badly wrong as the coconut was overwhelming.

Food: 3-3.5/5
Price: 38+++/pax
Current promo: 1for1 for some credit cards, ends 31 Oct 2009. Call to confirm.

a cool place?

I say udders, u say what? I say udders, u say what?? I say udders, u say what???

What what what, udders la...... the part of the cow where u get the milk la....




Enough of my crap, back to the main topic. This is strange name is the name of a ice-cream shop. They sell ice-cream with a difference. And the difference is? Well, its the taste, the environment, the whole atmosphere.













We had almost tried out all their flavours except the simple ones thou. The two flavour that left a very strong impression would be whiskey n tiramisu. These 2 r labelled as the ones with e highest alcohol content, and they aren't bluffing. You can really feel the sudden surge of alcohol when u get a taste of it.

The shop also have 2 durian flavours, "mao-shan-wang" and D24. They are well quite good enough (see right) however we only ordered MSW as its more delightful to the taste bud.

i however did like the one with choya lime, however my usual fav of rum n rasin did not quite suit my liking. All in all this is a great place to chill out.

Udders Hours:
Sunday to Thursday: 12 noon to 11pm
Friday, Saturday and eve of PH: 12 noon to 12 midnight

bIG fiSh @ Siglap


Im changing the focus of my blog, it will be more towards sharing things in life, in particular FOOD!!

Siglap area is a well known area for many food establishment and this trip is targeted to this restaurant by the name "Big Fish Seafood Grill". This restaurant had been around for quite a number of years as I could vaguely remember this restaurant near another pasta restaurant.

Let's talk food!!

As the name suggests, this place is good for its fishy. Here's a pic of what I ordered (see left). Its very much a today's special, even its plate setting is different from the rest (see the background)

The fish is call halibut. Its like french to me as Im not a big fish fan and all tat's in my dictionary is salmon, cod, fish & chips (opps, tat's not a fish).

It came served with sauteed vegetables & mashed potatoes. Lets go back to the main dish. The fish is delightfully fresh and you can tell that from the texture and tenderness of the flesh. The light taste brings the freshness to the fore. Some sauce were being beautifully set around the plate.

As for the sides, the vegetables retained some of the cruchness while the mashed potato were smooth and mixed with some flavouring. Overall: 4.25/5

A side note, they serve lamb shank as well which i took a bite from my fren's plate. Well it was tender but with character that wants you to make the effort of chewing before it surrender. That being said, it was just a false front no soldiers were lost. Not bad in all but i prefer winning without fighting... lol.
