Goodies Review cuatro- B & J and Marina Food Loft
Haha, that's our empty cups, we can't wait to eat. Of cos' the dirtier one belongs to Star.
We've been to Ben & Jerry's
Dim Sum :)
Went to Bugis food junction for lunch on 29th Mar with Star. I ate satay bee hoon (4 bucks) and it tasted simply plain. Bad, despite the generous ingredient the uncle gave me, but I believed the main character of the dish is le gravy. It just failed in the taste of the gravy. Hai.. I would hafta give 2 hmmms for it.
I realised Star has been staying on the sky for too long. Hence, I brought him around Bugis to check it out the street fashion. In the end, he bought a diamond stud. Good attempt to change. :)
Walked to Suntec despite the dizzling. As we waited at the traffic opposite Shaw Leisure Gallery at Beach Road, we stood under the shelter. Aha! Just then we met my "friend", this guy asked his friends whether they will melt in the small rain. Aha! again, what a person! Reminded me when I told Star I will melt in the rain for about 100 times when it rains recently.
Strolled through Suntec and stopped by Spectacles Hut, then off we went to the arcade like a sis bringing a bro ( though he's 18 year old). I suddenly thought of Ben and Jerry's! Yeah! Finally I'm able to try the ice cream. I don't care whether it's a sinner or not, whatever! We went for it... Just like a sis bringing a bro again. Haha..
Alrite, and so both of us got a small cup. Let's see.. I got a Dublin Mudslide (Irish Cream Liqueur Ice Cream with Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Coffee Fudge Swirl) and Chunky Monkey ( Banana Ice Cream with Fudge Chunks & Walnuts). Yummy!
In fact, the Dublin Mudslide taste like butter scotch, it's very sweet too. The chunky monkey has a mild banana flavour, the taste is not overwhelming. Hmmm, so it's not a very nice combination for this 2 flavours.
Star had Strawberry and some chocolate ice cream. He had the right combination. :) However, somehow, the flavours he chose are not adventuous enough. haha... Both cups cost bout SGD 10, expensive but filling too. The ice cream are thick and rich in ingredients. I can just say they are the best ice cream I ever tried so far. Cool!
Hence, Ben and Jerry's did a good job, they really earned 4.5 hmmms from me. :) Must try!
Haha.. I chose the wrong time to try B & J's, it was less than an hour before we had our dinner. haha.. In the end, we went to Marina Food Loft. I believed there is more variety of food compared to other places. Hehe.. We can't eat.. Really. Star could feel the ice cream inside him. The taste is not gone yet. Sama sama. We had no choice but to look for "lighter" meal.
Star was bright that day, he bought dim sum. Haha.. There is har gow, Siew mai, spring roll and zhu chang fen topped with char siew. The har gow was regular, the prawns in it are rather small and the skin is thick.
For the siew mai, it is still acceptable. Similar as har gow, it is small (smaller than yum cha and fortunate yum cha). I advise everyone to eat the dim sum 1st whenever it's served, when it's cold, it tasted not as nice.
I didn't try the spring roll, but from Star, he said there's some mushroom, minced meat in it. Wondered if it's crispy and nice, gotta ask Star too.
The zhu chang fen lacked of silkiness. The skin is too thick and hard for zhu chang fen but I can understand, handmade Zhu Chang Fen is always the best! The char siew taste a bit like chili minced meat. haha..
Hmmm... I gotta give the har gow 2.5 hmmms, siew mai 3.5 hmmms, Spring rolls ???, and lastly zhu chang fen 3 hmmms ( because I got to finish it all ;))
