The Ice Cream Gallery

We had ice cream at ice cream gallery....



waffle with maple syrup topped with vanilla ice cream..



the waffle was ok but not comparable to gerlare's.

3 scoops of ice cream...



we had strawberry cheesecake, rum and raisin and sea salt caramel. the strawberry cheesecake is ok but ben and jerry's is much much nicer. the sea salt caramel is quite unique. the rum and raisin was not bad .. has a relatively strong alcohol taste but i kinda prefer andersen's rum and raisin.

Scotts Lounge

Our Seafoodies September meet up was to do high tea at Hyatt's Scotts Lounge.

their selection today is fabulous!

there was some chicken thingy....



ratatouille...



cod fish!!



roots...



super duper yummilious mashed potato topped with cheese.....



everyone loved it and was going for second, third and fourth helpings! its SOOoooo good!

stewed beef.....



nice sauce but the veal was a bit tough.

scones....



it is undeniably the BEST scones i've had so far. Not that i've had many but it really is the best in terms of texture. even the jam and cream that came with it was fabulous! Its really really GOOD!

some of the cold cuts....



sushi...



cold cuts.... they have ROCKETS!! you can imagine how ecstatic i was.. hehe...



prawns... very fresh prawns....



steak.....



very nice yummy steak! done medium rare! oh so goooooood!!

the desserts section...



bread butter pudding...



macaroons!





their macaroons were a bit too sweet for my liking though.

chocolate fondue!



with extension dippers! i think yan will love this! i love love love the cherries!



and its funny.. we agreed the cherries remind us of my cherry earrings. haha

ice cream and sorberts...



cheese selection...



they have bleu cheese!

the other reason why i love Scotts Lounge's high tea is because of their tea selection. Aside from the common english breakfast (which i like), earl grey and camomile, they also have other selection. I love their vanilla something tea. their shanghai rice is also good!



over all, the food selection today is very good. even clammy ate a lot. we've never seen her eat so much.

Ben & Jerry's

they generally liked the strawberry though i found it very sour. didnt quite like the mango though. LOVE LOVE LOVE the strawberry cheesecake! its so good! got crumbs of cookie like things in between. Darn good!

Margarita's

dinner was at Margarita's at Dempsey.

they all had passion fruit margaritas. i had strawberry margarita. i love their margaritas.... its so yummy! cold and tasty!



food wise, seriously i cannot tell one thing from another. i know there was soft taco, chimichanga, quesilidas and khahitas or something (probably all spelt wrongly)

serene's order...



xinhui's order...



ken's order...



ken's order was some pork something that was very nice! the hot favourite for tonight!

chimichanga!



it was good but both xinying and myself felt that the chimichanga from Blu Jazz is nicer.

my beef soft taco...



i like it. i think its pretty good. i also like the rice dat came along wif it.

Xinhui treated, thank cute babe!

MOS Burger

our lunch...



the butterfly prawns were pretty good. rather oriental taste though.

the vegetable beef burger was good. love the sauce. but it was messy.

the mos chicken is not nice.. breast meat and not much of taste. i was upset dat i even finished it. haha

the nuggets were ok! very chickeedee~ if u know what that means. haha

Hock Lam Beef Noodles

did lunch with crabby at the Hock Lam beef noodle place...



the beef balls were ok, the soup was relatively tasty but the beef slices were not exactly tender. too thinly sliced to find it tender.

Ah Wang HK Cafe

Leoie brought me to the Ah Wang Hk cafe. Sooooo interesting their items! i kept going.. " wow... wow... woah " until Leoie was asking me.. " u wow finish already a not? " hahha



they really haf a lot of quite interesting items! too bad i was not hungry! i wana come back!!

ah wang specially recommend one summore!



leoie had wanted to order a ice horlicks but i 'mocked' at him for being boring so he end up ordering some pineapple drink...



was very nice!

i ordered a rose syrup and yam ice cream drink...



the rose syrup wasnt the sweet kind, rather its a bit sour, quite interesting.

i refused to order any food coz i was not hungry. Leoie ordered a macau pork burger and i suspect he ordered coz he heard me wow-ing yet refusing to order so he ordered. haha...



the bun was not bad. the pork fillet wasnt wonderful but was quite tender.

Leoie treated, thank cute!

Xin Yuan Ji

Brought Leoie to Xin Yuan Ji for fish soup....



its squiddy's favourite! Leoie found the soup pretty good as well.

Picotine

fChipmunk's birthday celebration at Picotin. We got there pretty early so we walked around a bit...



was telling him about pony rides and i showed him to this area where there were 2 ponies...



den we noticed how there were 2 ponies who were pretty smart, they could actually move out of the area. den we found the pony charging towards us!! initially it was charging towards us and kicking sand onto us... den it charged towards us again and got out of the area! i was in SHOCK! it just never occurred to me that that could happen! Also, given my experience in the polo club, there never was a big issue when the horses walked around me.. but i duno why this pony is just a really angry pony today and we were chased by the pony.....



thank god, no harm done but really quite a funny experience.

we walked back to Picotin for our dinner. When chipmunk asked me to suggest a place, i immediately thought of Picotin where baby joshua had his full month celebration. When i saw this area of Picotin the last time i was here, it was almost love at first sight.....







the whole place just has a very non-singaporean feel. It reminds me of europe, of Perth.. i love it. the only thing about this place is probably the fact that its got lotsa flies and mosquitoes flying around.

we were first served the complimentary bread...



comes with raisins.

service was very good btw.... the staffs were really nice, friendly and attentive.

for starters, chipmunk chose the onion soup...



which was ok.

the foie gras...



3 pieces in all! in terms of portion i'd say its really good. but in terms of taste, it is just ok. it feels like the exterior is actually over cooked resulting in it looking somewhat wrinkled.



for mains, i had the beef stew....



and its ohh-so-GOOD! the beef is so so tender and the portion is good. i love it! it has got the wow factor on me. hehe

chipmunk went for the roast chicken thinking it would just be a small spring chicken only to realise its a huge chicken!



the roast chicken came wif a wine like sauce which was really good! went very well with their mashed potato as well! yum yum!

we were actually pretty full for desserts but went ahead to order coz the servers recommended it.

the creme brulee...



the sticky date pudding...



the creme brulee is a little different from the typical creme brulee i've tried. I.. prefer the typical creme brulee served else where. this one seems to be more like a cake and texture is not like custard.

the sticky date was ok but i conclude that my favourite sticky date pudding is still from Broth. I like how Broth used caramel and sour cream to make wonders. This one from Picotin uses toffee like Marmalade Pantry which i don't really fancy.

all in all, the experience at Picotin proved to be a good one...



we also saw michelle chia! she was so pretty! big hair and long white dress.... beautiful. totally blends in wif the picotin's decor.
