Desserting @ Ajisen, IMM

Oh, the temporary insanity we had about snacking after lunch did not stop with what you saw yesterday. The menu tempted us with the following:

Macha Sundae $4. With corn flakes below too.




The Zenzai (Red Bean Dessert). $6.20
Ice cream, dango and red bean paste.



Oh, this pickle goes with the above. Savoury & the sweet stuff above. Quite good!



The Macha Sundae Anmitsu $6.80
Red bean paste + little cubes of jelly + a cup of black honey to go with it.



The was eaten on Sunday, and on the next day, I hopefully have burnt off the calories in the Body Combat class. Any one here also attends Body Combat classes? As I am typing this, I am still have aches all over from Monday's class.

Sigh, want to eat, so have to exercise. Is it a waste of time and energy? LOL...

Gelatissimo @ The Singapore Flyer

Momo and I had gelato at the Singapore Flyer yesterday.



It was very tempting to see their freshly made ice cream. You can see the fruits or sweets or cups or even chilly that represent the flavour.



There are more flavours, but these two photos should be enough to tempt any gelato lovers.



We had one scoop of Green Tea with another scoop of (i think it was) Original Chocolate.
It was a good combination. The Green Tea really gives you the fragrant green tea flavour and its slight bitterness goes very well with the sweet chocolate.



Ooo. It's yummy!

That reminds me, my ice cream maker at home is sitting on the shelf being lazy! I should make some ice cream soon.

Even if you have no ice cream maker, you can easily make ice cream at home. Pop over to my friend Camemberu's blog and follow her simple No-Churn Rum and Raisin Ice Cream recipe.

Mr Bean Ice Cream @ NUH

A few colleagues had the urge for chicken feet for lunch today. A nearby, cheap and decent chicken feet would be the Kopitiam at NUH Kent Ridge Wing. But alas, the 'auntie' that we used to buy from said, they are not selling it anymore! There goes our staff discounted pricing of $1.60 per steamer chicken feet . Where in Singapore can you get chicken feet for that price? Arrghhh....

NUH is becoming more and more like a shopping mall! We actually did some shopping at the pharmacies! (Both at the Kent Ridge Wing Pharmacy and also the Main Building Pharmacy.) It was as if the Great Singapore Sale is in the pharmacy!

It was raining, so while waiting for the rain to stop, a colleague 'almond jelly' asked if we wanted to try the Soya Bean Ice Cream? Ooo.. we did not know that Mr Bean sells ice cream now!



It's like soya bean milk! Very smooth as well. Not too sweet and texture is good too. We like it! Oh ya, notice the cone? It's the sugar cone or what some people call the 'aladdin cone', and not the KFC/Macs kind.



It says reduced sugar, reduced fat. So, eat without guilt! (It's 4.79g of fat per serving!)



$1.20 a cone. (If you happen to have a NUH, NUS staff card, you get 10% off)

Ben & Jerry @ Vivocity

Oh no.. Ice cream post again. haha.. It seems once you start you can't stop. This was
taken on Apr 30. Why? Apr 29 was the Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day. We did not want to queue for it. There's just too many people queuing. So the next day, we all came to have our Ben & Jerry outing day. haha...




One colleague had a single cone.
Another colleague ordered this. Cookies with ice cream.



Three other guys, we shared this 3 scoop thingy. With colourful toppings!



Yumm.....
Did anyone queue for the Ben & Jerry Free Cone Day?

MOF Japanese Gelato @ Raffles City Shopping Centre

Sis was in an ice cream mood. Remember the Jap food posted two days ago? She wanted something sweet and light after the meal. We actually walked past Canele and wanted to go in, but after waiting for 10 mins in front of the 'Please wait to be seated' sign, we walked away. (A few friends commented that that sign is meant to be ignored. Everyone just walks in they want a place if you want to get a seat. aiyo!)

Anyway, we walked past the Ministry of Food (MOF) kiosk that sells gelato. It says trans-fat free, preservative free enough to tempt sis. haha..



The Azuki Bean gelato she had on a waffle cone.



Mine's on a cup. Very light tasting melon flavour.



Sis colleague - Ms S, had the Japanese Tea and Red Bean on a cone.



Looks yummy right? Sorry not sure about the price, Thanks for Ms S for the gelato. She insisted on paying after I paid for dinner. hehe..

Cold Rock Ice Cremery @ Holland Village

Some of you should know that I love to ice cream / gelato!
Finally got to taste the ice cream from Cold Rock few days ago. It's also one of those that you pick your ice cream, choose some toppings and they mix them all up on a cold surface.

Cold Rock's from Australia and I remember eating it in the middle of winter in Brisbane! I think ice cream taste extremely good in winter and it does not melt!

Cousin picked the flavours and toppings.



More of the mixing up...



Yes, it's ready!



You want some? This is sweetish and sourish because we picked berries and chocolate.



Yummy! Do you like ice cream? Or do you make ice cream?
I have been experimenting with home made ice cream too. ;-)

Cold Rock is located in Holland Village, right opposite Haagan Dazs.

Raffles Creamery @ Raffles Hotel

If you have been following the last few day's photos, right after dinner, we had ice cream. Raffles Creamery is just outside the door of Seah St Deli, in the courtyard.

Save me explaining, you can read it here:




The next few photos are smaller photos (for quicker loading) of the process of 'tepanyaki-ing' the ice cream.

Our friend ordered a triple scoop, so 3 scoops of ice cream here.



Mashing and chopping....



More violently as it goes...



Is it mixed well yet? Not quite... Add in the toppings....



Spread it all on the freezer pan to cool the mixture, and to mix is well.



Hmmm with the scrapper that the person is using, wonder if he had prior experience in the cement industry.



More chopping! And rounding it up into a lump.



The lump is then scoop into the cup.



The butterscotch wet topping on top to finish it up.




Here's a video of them making the one I had.
Some exotic vanilla, gummy bears and granola cereal as toppings. I think it's a good job for those who likes to vent their anger! haha..





Yes, all of us ate inside the Deli, it was just too warm outside.




Not the best ice cream you can get, but the fun / wah! factor is there.

The Daily Scoop @ Clementi Arcade

My colleagues are on an ice cream binge! The last two weeks or is it three, we have been going to ice cream places! It's good that we work not too far from all these boutique ice cream places..

Today someone suggested we head to Sunset Way to check out the place. OK, the food we ate here maybe tomorrow, but since we were in Sunset Way, someone said.... so so nearby there's the ice cream place that we have not been for so so so long.



We walked in the hot afternoon sun, 1 driver is on course, the other did not drive today. Anyway, it was a short walk along Sunset Way. You will reach Clementi Arcade. If you are wondering what's here, nothing much except for The Daily Scoop we are after. It's shown in the photo (spot the white arrow, haha).



5 of us today, we had 2 double scoops.
This is the Avocado (on the right) and Green Tea & Red Bean (on the left).
Maybe it's our tongue, but we think Avocado should be renamed Ciku. It really taste so similar to ciku! We are not complaining :-) We like it.




The white one is Coconut! Which taste quite like the real thing.
The brownish one is Baileys and Choc Chips.



One thing though, this place serves ice cream in real cold ceramic bowls. Not plastic or paper cups. So it scores a few points if you are into counting carbon credits :-)

And also... no students studying, wonder why... But it's full though, with working people all eating ice cream.

Island Cremery @ Serene Centre

It seems when you start eating ice cream, you get addicted to it. The day before we went to Venezia, then yesterday, we ended up at Island Cremery at Serene Centre. Oh no... calories are loading up!

Just like yesterday's venue, this place is also a student's haunt, especially 'little girls' from a school nearby. You should know which school. haha..

The logo, which you can find on the containers when you have a tub takeaway.



No need to ask how much, just look at the board :-)



There were 4 of us yesterday, one colleague who loves this place was on half day.
Anyway, this place is unique and it has unique flavours too. This is Bandung. It taste quite bandungy. haha...



For me, I had Nutella. Slurp!



Another colleague prefer the cone, so he had not sure which chocolate he had :-p



Another colleague eat very little for lunch, so that she can have this! Err, I forgot to ask her what flavour too. But it looks good eh?



We all, add up our ages more than 120 years old, when saw photos posted up, we also did the same! Haha... Since we had a digital camera, and this place provides a photo printer to print!!

We printed it out, scribble something, and then we stuck it up on the wall immediately. (though we think its suppose to be done by staff of this place :-p )



Fun right? Maybe we should go back there and see if our photo is still there, and try out more flavours!

Gelateria Venezia @ Guthrie House, off Sixth Avenue

Colleagues and I, we had lunch yesterday at Turf City, and after that we wanted some Ice Cream. Since we were nearby Guthrie House, we went there to pay Venezia a visit.

At this time of the year, you can see students studying everywhere, this place has more than half the tables filled with very hardworking students. Wishing them all the best in their exams!

What did we have?
Those who like Durian, they shared this double scoop of Durian Gelato.




For the rest of who do not like, we shared a waffle with 3 scoops of ice cream.
Yummy! Mango Sorbet, Tiramisu and forgot the name of the chocolate.



It was good! Our stomachs have this compartment reserved for ice cream at anytime. Venezia is one of the pioneer of the made in Singapore 'boutique' ice cream shops. If I am not mistaken around the year 2000.

Any of you are also lovers of ice cream or gelato?

Ice3 (Ice Cube) @ Serangoon Gardens

After the big meal the other day at Ming Kee, we think we are cows and have different stomachs! We always have space reserved for drinks and desserts.

We made our way to Serangoon Gardens. The 'di dou sher' (local head snake, ie, pple staying there) said there's this place to go called Ice3 (ice cube). Game! Let's go...

The people there were quite helpful and arranged a long huge table that can fit so so so many of us. Thanks Ice3 staff.

How it looks outside.



You know, I usually dont post faces of my makan kakis, unless it is blurred or taken from the back like this. haha... The place looks cosy ya.



We started ordering and desserts came. Ice cream with waffles.



We have a NLB librarian amongst us. She just systematically cut up all the cubes to make it easier for us all to share! (hmm i am wondering.. the prev pic did not have a cherry, where did this one come from??)



This is called "make own crepe with nuts and toppings".



This is the Hawaii-5-0



This is quite famous here. The Mud Pie! Oh so yummy... It's called "Eyes Wide Open".



The more choc and oreo ice cream! It's called "Volcanic Eruption".



We also this which is called "Ring of Fire". Cool eh? I tell you, all of us devoured this ring so quickly. See all the different flavours? Any ice cream fan will love this!



We also had other drinks and common things, so not posting them up here.

Something I realise is that you noticed the ice cream is served not melted? Some places we go to the ice cream is already partially melted which really irritates!
