Happy Quarter-Century Old to CP!
Had so much food to blog about!!! Haven't been updating on what sinful stuff I've been eating! Let's start with the earliest...
Goldmine at NYDC - We orderd the combo set that comes with flowing thick chocolate that we poured over the whole thingy. OMG! It's heavenly! Can't remember what is the dessert on the right hand side called... but it's equally heavenly!
Then it's the fondue at Haagen Dazs!!! It's quite a big serving. Five of us were sharing it after dinner and couldn't really finish it. We were hoping there were more fruits to balance the sweetness of the chocolate fondue. One chocolate is Hazelnut chocolate and I loved it! You have to start with the ice-cream first. Dip into the chocolate, and let it harden. Then bite into it. OH MAN!
However the drinks are not so good. Quite disappointing. So just order ice water.
I went to Sushi Tei and tried their soba. My friend recommended to me saying it's the best soba he has eaten. I've never thought how cold noodles could be so tasty. And I never ordered because I love hot noodles too much. How delicious can it get if it's cold? Nevertheless, I ordered and it was not as bad as I thought!! Go try it!
I went New York New York to eat on Thursday evening. Surprisingly after many bad comments about it, I found the food there delicious! They even have free-flow of green apple-flavoured candy floss that you can make on your own! I had Spagetti with the white sauce (Carbonara?) with roasted half spring chicken. The chicken was very well-done. The breast meat wasn't tough that will give you goose pimples when you chew. It was a pity it was a hasty meal because we were rushing to SSO's Conrad Classics: Silver Screen Spectacular at Esplanade Concert Hall. The concert was good. Some reminiscence when they played E.T. and Harry Potter. They are just so GOOD.
Then yesterday was CP's 25th Birthday. We went to Juju Hokkaido Hot Pot Restaurant at Paradiz Centre. It has both al fresco and indoor dining areas. The al fresco area wasn't hot because the cool air reached us whenever the glass doors to Paradiz Centre opened. Furthermore there is live singing from 730 - 930pm. The price was very reasonable. Each set meal was only $24.90++. Don't gasp yet. Read on and you will feel that the money you're paying is worth it.
We ordered each set each. When the set came on a "ship" 3D tray, we were taken aback as the "ship" was really big! And the servings are big!! We had "ma la" and chicken stock soup to go with the steamboat.
Firstly we were served with appetizer. It's a 70% cooked egg. The waitress showed us how we should eat it. Put the egg onto the dish, use chopsticks to divide into two. Then pour the Japanese soya sauce over it, and EAT. The egg is so nicely done. The white is cooked leaving only part of the yolk liquid. The two sides are kimchi and seaweed.
Then food came and had a small bag of dough we could squeeze out into the soup that will turn into noodles. The waitress showed us how we could do it.
JH and tasty yummy food!!
CP's fish set is a whole fish!!!
Lotsa good food - crab, prawn, octopus, fish!!! The prawn is super nice!
Yvonne and her soba!
While eating halfway, we were served with this plum cold icy juice that was said to help us in digestion. It's very nice and I wished it was refillable!
At the end, it was dessert. This is called Pearl Harbour - mango, sago and aloe vera. Very nice!!!
Actually the set meal comes with the main dish:
Choose from mutton, beef, fish, seafood, pork.
Side dish:
Choose from soba, rice, vermicille. (I ordered soba and it wasn't nice. Maybe it could have tasted better if it was icy-cold.)
Desserts:
Choose from Pearl Harbour, Green Tea Fantasy, Ice-cream.
At the end the waitress even pealed open the wet tissue for us. Full marks for service!!!!! Their service is really commendable!
Lastly posing for the final group picture... A waiter (we suspected he's the manager) volunteered to help us take a group photo without us asking.
Drooling? Call 6336 6689 to make reservations today!!!
Besides the food, we could make song dedications. However they only sang 1 piece from our choices. Most probably they don't have the scores. And we also got them to sing a Birthday song for CP! The restaurant even gave a complimentary ice-cream for CP together with a candle!! Oh-man! He should be glad to have us as friends!! HAHA!
