Cendol @ Amy Heritage Nyonya Cuisine
This was the best cendol we have ever had, hands down!!!
It was almost the perfect cendol - the right blend of coconut milk and Gula Melaka. The Gula Melaka was so so so good. Well, should not be surprised since we were at Melaka!
If i would want to complain, it would be that the ice was not shaved fine enough. But that doesn't stop it from being a wonderful dessert!

Gelato @ il Gelato di Bruno
We stopped by this place at the City-Link mall (next to Hershey's) for some gelato. It was pretty good! We took 2 scoops on the waffle thingy. =P

Fruit rojak @ The Stadium in Ipoh
This is the chinese style rojak with fruits. The one served here does not come with prawn crackers but instead it comes with yau char kwai.
Nice! The sauce was god and the peanut sprinkles added to the taste.

Tiramisu @ Delicious, Bangsar
The food at delicious is good - but that's another post. I'm blogging about the desert.
I was told their tiramisu was pretty good. So i gave it a try.
It came in a glass and i was pleasantly surprised! Nice, nice! the pics speaks for themselves.
It was tasty - right blend of ingredients, not too overpowering nor too sweet, wasn't dry. It was cold too which made it nicer - for me anyways!
As a little postscript, these pics were taken a few years ago when i went there for the first time. Recently, i went back there again and din really like again - there was this sour taste to it. Maybe it has gone bad?

White Lady @ Taman Hui Sing, Kuching
The last time i was at Kuching, me mate, Ru, took me to an open air food court near to the Kuching International Airport and i finally tried it. To be precise, it was at the Hui Sing Hawker Centre, Lorong Taman Hui Sing 3.
It was actually there that she suggested i start this food blog.
It was also there that i had White Lady! According to the Wikitravel page on Kuching, the stall that serves it is 'Ah Meng's Stall'. Evaporated milk with syrup and fruit base. Very nice, very refreshing!

Coconut Ice Cream @ Bach Dang, HCMC
Wow! Has it been that long??? 4 months!!!!!
OK. I'm back. With some vengeance!
It was the last day at Ho Chi Minh City - and many things were left undone. But there was one sight that we just could not miss! So while the students did their last minute shopping, Carol and I went off searching for the famous Coconut Ice Cream!
It is at this place called Bach Dang. Where is it? Hhmmm.... if you go out of BenThanh Market and the huge roundabout is across the road, you just head towards yr left. Keep walking and you'll arrive there.
Sori but we were in such a rush that i cannot remember how long it took. Suffice to say, i've never seen Carol walked that fast before!!!!
So was it all worth it?
Here it is:-
It was topped with local fruits - watermelon, dragon fruit, dessicated cocunut, and some other fruit! Personally, i thought that the fruits did not add anything to it. But Carol thought otherwise.
What is more important was the ice cream itself. Below the fresh fruits.
And it was REALLY GOOD!!!!!
The ice cream was smoooooooth! Like Rob Thomas and Santana! It was of high quality! I just had Baskin Robbins last nite and was disappointed to find tiny pieces of ice in the ice cream. You will not find such things here.
The taste was good too! But then again, there is no reference point for comparisons since you seldom get cocunut flavoured ice cream. But it tasted good, it wasn't too sweet and the coconut taste was pretty authentic! How more authentic can it get when it was served in a coconut shell itself - after finishing the ice cream, you can still scrape the coconut flesh off the shell and enjoy it.
Excellent stuff! the weather there just complements it. It is so hot and humid and the coolness and refreshing taste of the ice cream just melts the heat away.
And what a better way to round it off than by having a cup of real Vietnamese drip coffee? I love the coffee there! :-)

Deep fried Mars Bar @ Chippy, Raffles City shopping centre
This has to be the ULTIMATE comfort food!!!!
Super unhealthy? Four small pieces of Mars Bar - choc with caremel inside, deep fried! Crunchy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside! Top it with vanilla ice cream AND chocolate syrup!

Mille crêpe @ Food Foundry, PJ
After a spot of filming we did on our chapel grounds, Michelle, Samuel and i headed off for tea. Sam recommended we try Mille crêpe nearby. Michelle has heard about it and was game. I had no objections.
What is Mille crêpe? Well, let's turn to Wiki for help:-
The food? It was not too bad. We tried the normal one (vanilla), a strawberry one and a chocolate one.
We all concluded that the best was the cheapest one - the vanilla one. It taste exactly like how it is - layers of thin pancake with the flavoured filling.
Not too bad. The place was nice too - when we were there, it was rather breezy.

Mille crêpe is a French cake made of many crêpe layers. "Mille" ("mil") means "a thousand," implying the many layers of crêpe.The place is Food Foundry, a corner lot on the ground floor of the flats nearby my church grounds.

French fine dining @ Lemon Grass, PJ
I believe the name of the restaurant is Lemon Grass. It is actually part of the Taylor's School of Hospitality and Tourism. The students run the place and get practical training.
They were hosting the dinner at the end of the National Rounds of the LawAsia Moot Competition 2008. We weretired exhausted and just wanted to be fed and go home and sleep. Yeah, we were sore losers! Lol!
The table set-up. Looks good-eh?
We started off with some finger food. Nothing to shout about and the baguette base wasn't nice - 'lau foong' edi!
We had some not impressive mock-tails to quench our thirst too. I went for fruit juice after this and even that wasn't very nice.
I was ambivalent about this. Scallops were nice. It however din go too well with the watermelon.
The main course - cod fillet on a bed of mash potatoes
I thought the fish was a bit... fishy (in cantonese, 'sang') but the rest din think so. Still, it was nice and fresh.
The best part tho was the mash potatoes. Lovely!
The mousse cake was too sour for the guys and too sweet for the girls!!!
The remaining two were winners to all of us! Yup, end off on a high note. Only small complaint wiil be that they were too small!!! A good complaint, dun u think?

Here's our menu for the night:-
Appetizer - Paprika oil seared scallops on yellow watermelon with coriander pesto, alfalfa sprouts and coconut lime foam.
I was ambivalent about this. Scallops were nice. It however din go too well with the watermelon.
This was followed by pumpkin soup (for details, refer to the menu above). No one around me liked the soup at all!

And finally, the desert! Mango and Passion fruit mousse cake, chocolate macaroon and citrus crème brûlée (burnt cream!).
