Ice Edge Cafe Update 21 November 2016

Today was the submission day for my assignments, so classes ended early so i had lunch with my mum and brother. We ate at the cafè called Ice Edge Cafe, i have already talk about it briefly in the previous blog post before. However, they renovated the place and even change the look of the menu. The overall feels of the place is very comforting, the outside of the cafè has a country side feel or like those cafè along the side walk in paris or uk. The inside have more of a edgy look with metal elements and the whole black theme going on. I have to say the cafe looks better now even the menu looks nicer than before.

 There is actually a lunch special going on, so for their lunch certain items are 1 for 1 so you can mix and match and they will charge the higher price one. I had the seafood glio oilo and it was really good, like on of the best agile oilo i i ever have. The seasonings we just right and you can taste the fragrance of the garlic and the chilli and the spiciness was just nice. They also used fresh prawns instead of frozen prawns, in the spagehetti they also inculde clams and squids.

My brother had the fried chicken breast meat with nacho sauce, the moment he cut into it, the sauce came oozing out and there is also a little cheese in there as when he cut into it, the cheese stretches. The chicken is also well season and goes really well with the sauce.

We also got waffle ice cream for dessert, and the ice cream flavours were tiramisu and ferrero rocher. The waffle is quite big and it is crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I personally prefer the tiramisu as i really like the taste, it taste like burnt caramel to me somehow though but i still like it. For the ferrero rocher one i think it is too much for me, it really taste like ferrero rocher but the flavours are too overpowering, however if people who likes ferrero rocher or who really love chocolate i think they will like it.

After coming here again, it makes me wanna come more times to try out the different food that they offer especially to eat the seafood again oilo again kekekkke.

Xiao Ya Tou 小丫头

So during the holidays, my friend wanted to try out this placed called xiao ya tou as they have this dish called the unagi eggs benedict, so we went all the way to Duxton Hill where it is located to have lunch. The place is quite far it is like located right smack in the middle of tanjong pagar and outram mrt. We took a long time to find the place, however we managed to find it after sometime.

We went in and was immediately attended to by the waitress and cold water was also immediately severed to us together with the menu, the staff was really friendly and even introduce their menu to us, maybe cause there was not many people at that time but their service is really good.

Side dish

Main dish 

They serve fusion chinese food and for their lunch special actually it is not really expensive, one side dish and a main is $22 but considering the location it is at it is still quite okay. We both decided to share as we are going for dessert after that. We ordered the crispy otah as the side and it was really delicious, the otah is wrapped in the spring roll skin and it was fried till golden brown so it was really crispy on the outside. For the main we ordered a soy duck dish, the duck was well marinated in the sauce and the meat is really tender, the sauce also goes really well with the rice making you crave for more rice. The menu actually has many item that you can mix and match for to make your lunch combo.

After lunch we went to bugis and ate the snow white bingsu from Nunsongyee, it is a bingsu with cheese on the outside and horlick powder sprinkled on the shaved milk. It was really nice for the first few mouths but after that it becomes a little too much for us to handle. It was nice cause the salty cheese and the sweet milk was a good combination however if you are not a cheese lover you will get sick of eating it very soon.
