dun really have anyting specific to say, so shall post some random pics of food we had in the past few wks.
went Miss Clarity cafe for dinner yest.
was quite packed, so could see it was pretty popular for the youngsters. guess dat explains the long long wait for the food n drks.
anyway we both had a main course, and topped up $3 to make it a set, which consists of an additional soup/salad, drk and dessert of the day.
and guess wat?
yeah, i had the salad. someone who stays away from raw veges as much as she can.
no choice lah, alot of pple say i fat liao. sigh.
The OH had the soup of the day, which was cream of vegetable.
i didnt try it, so couldnt comment. (the overly yellow-ness was the result of a yellow soup on a yellow table with flash)
for mains, i had the chicken ballotine, which was oven-baked chicken thigh stuffed with shitake mushrooms in a mushroom sauce accompanied by roasted potatoes and veges.
most of it was ok, juz dat the chicken was prob too over-cooked such dat it came out hard n dry.
next time shld try their pastas.
the OH had the garlic-crusted dory. the dory was pretty smooth, like the 'can-slide-down-ur-throat' kind, and was topped with someting which tasted like spicy fried garlic crumbs, with the same accompaniment as mine.
dessert was a scoop of choc ice-cream. nothing very special, so no pics.
overall, the cafe is quite cute, food is ok and i like it dat they automatically give each table a jug of ice water without us having to ask. and on a sidenote, they only accept cash.
brought the OH to My Secret Garden for dessert to fufil one of the wishes.
had only 2 desserts to share coz we were pretty full by den. (the pics look pretty weird coz the OH said it didnt turn out nice enough in normal mode, so it was changed to sepia or dunno-wat mode)
the 1st dessert was a brownie. pretty std and normal, warm brownie with choc and nuts in itand covered in choc sauce. tried to coax the OH to order a slightly more special brownie called Sinful Love (or sumting like dat) but failed. oh well.
i had the sticky toffee date pudding which was pretty good. even the OH tinks so, and couldnt resist pinching at my cake. lol.
its prob slightly diff from marmalade pantry's in terms of taste and presentation, but juz as good.
prices are restaurant-std, but once a mth shld be no prob.
the ambience is pretty nice, good for pple who like to have a quiet, romantic meal.
this next place was specifically requested by the OH to be inserted in here.
the OH was at clarke quay with frenz, and came across this famous ice-cream shop from japan, and tried their ice-cream.
after which, it was all good ravings, and specifically gave it a 4/5 rating. lol.
prob i shld try it for myself 1 day.
the ice-cream in question: red bean matcha with milk tea. (wheres the red bean though?)
lastly, the strawberry cheesecake from rocky master while slacking.
pretty good for a cafe cheesecake i would say.
the cheese taste is very smooth and "gao (hokkien for rich)"
and look at the dripping strawberry sauce man! *slurp*
need i say more?
ok, dats all i have for now.
one who tinks he has climbed the highest, will fall the greatest.
