Changing Appetites


The heavenly scent of freshly-made warm waffles beckons even before you enter this restaurant on the first floor of Marina Square. This is definitely the place to chill and hang out till late while waiting for your midnight movie.
The Choc-A-Lot mudpie was a real treat, with rich vanilla and chocolate layers, and generously drenched in thick chocolate sauce and choc chips.


Top it of with a cup of delicious warm mocha. Yumz!

Sweeet factor: 4/5

More New Year goodies


Been totally gorging myself with goodies every day(and not exercising cos of the rainy weather), it's been too sinful for words!
Anyway, Dad came home with more pineapple tarts (thanks!), and other goodies from Puteri Mas and Harry Nonya Kueh today.
Pity he didn't get the love letters and Kueh bangkit from Harry's cos I heard they were divine, but the cookies were not bad too. The prawn crackers and cashew nut cookies were especially fresh and crunchy.
I have to complain about the sesame cookies from Puteri Mas though. Mom and I both had bits of sand in our cookies. Leaves much to be desired in terms of cleanliness.
Guess they should stick to what they do best - durian puffs.

Borders bistro


The crowd in a restaurant is very telling. While the rest of the eateries at Wheelock Place were packed, the Borders Bistro was not even half full.
But I went against common sense and stepped in for drinks and dessert anyway.
The champagne cake I ordered tasted nothing like champagne, and was dry and tasteless - a huge disappointment.
The Chai tea was not too bad though. The spices were fragrant, though the cookie which accompanied the drink was soft and stale.

Sweeet factor: 2/5
