Ben & Jerry's, Dempsey

We stopped by Ben & Jerry's for some post-dinner desserts. It may be overflowing with kids galore, but the ice-cream flavours are staggeringly awesome. You can pack a whole array of flavours exclusive to its brick-and-mortar shop, which are unavailable retailed in the supermarkets. 

The Salted Caramel Blondie ($6.50) was my favourite, even if some of my friends thought it too saccharine. Sweet cream ice-cream that was like a salt-enhanced vanilla base, a salted caramel swirl, and blonde brownies was just perfection in a cup. Disclaimer: I'm nutters over salted caramel so I'm totally biased in favour of anything salted caramel.

For those who prefer something light, the Mango Mango ($6.50) was tempered sweetness, with a fruity twist.

Inspired by the banana split waffle cup, a friend got the Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz ($10.50 for regular), a base of coffee ice-cream mottled with espresso bean fudge chunks, and topped with bananas, fudge, and peanuts.

Janggut Laksa vs 328 Katong Laksa, Queensway Shopping Centre

Image
Queensway Shopping Centre , where locals flock to for all things sports and optical-related, is also known for good laksa. There are 2 laksa stalls, within a stone's throw of each other, both claiming to serve up the best. Both tout to be affiliates of world-famous Katong ones, and the accolades, writeups and publicity plastered all the utilitarian facades will attest to the fierce competition. Seating at both eateries is cramped and constrained, so dining is really a touch-and-go affair. Both are manned by efficient, if a little curt, bevy of staff, and so turnover is high. Good news for the 5-minute-on-average long line of diners waiting their turn. The menu is similarly limited, with laksa being the primary dish of choice, and its fixins' like otah and lime juice as regular side orders. Curry chicken, Chinese-style, is also a popular option. Janggut Laksa  The Laksa ($3.50 for small) here was disappointingly lackluster. It was insipid, and the milk had obviously cur...

Good Manners...gone the way of the dinosaurs?

If you'll indulge me a little, let me share a recent experience at one of our favourite restaurants that left me fuming. No, it's not the restaurant that pissed me off, but rather, an inconsiderately disgusting patron. So, the restaurant was really crowded. Like really really really crowded. From the packed-like-sardines table configuration to the meant-for-skinny-people walkway between the tables, it was full to the gills. I was seated behind an SPG with waist-long locks. We were back-to-back and I was already pushed right up to my table to give her a little wriggle room. And that's when it happened. She flicked her hair. You know, that flirty flip of the hair off your face that signals your attraction to whomever you're flirting with? Yes, that hair flip. And because her hair was so long, my head was engulfed with her hair. The first time she did that, I apologetically informed her that I was behind her. Yes, I was contrite because some women are vapid enoug...

Tambuah Mas Indonesian Restaurant, Paragon

Image
We met up with my youngest brother and his girlfriend over the weekend for our monthly meet-up at Paragon. Although we don't live under the same roof, we try to keep in touch by making it a point to meet up at least once a month. It's all about effort. Since my mom passed on early, I've stepped in as a surrogate mother of sorts to my younger brothers. And while our relationship has evolved from being that of a surrogate mother to that of a buddy-like older sister, I do want to remain a relevant ( and important ) part of my brothers' lives. So, we make the effort to meet up regularly and share in our lives. Of course, it helps loads that the Hubs gets along fabulously with my brothers so meeting up with them is always a hoot and a half. Paragon over the weekend, as with any other mall in Singapore, is unbelieveably crowded, (our little island really is suffering from the effects of overcrowding stemming from a poorly thought-out immigration policy). Despit...
