Creamz @ Clementi Road

Went for some dessert at this little unassuming corner shop, Creamz, along the end of Clementi Road nearer to West Coast Park. We ordered the waffle + 2 scoops of icecream. The Sea Salt Caramel and Cookies and cream. Totally, absolutely loved the icecream. The waffle was a very well done crispy and melt in the mouth goodness, paired with rich and yummy icecream drenched in chocolate sauce. I practically wolfed the entire thing down and bought another tub of icecream home. The above cost us around $9.

They also have interesting flavors like Kaya. Go have a taste and see what fancies you. Well worth every single calorie I must say, will definitely be back to try the other flavors.

F&J Cafeteria Hot Pot @ Bugis

One of my favorite hotpot joints is the F&J Cafeteria @ Bugis / Joo Chiat. They are my favorite for 2 things - the sauce counter which has this epic peanut butter and sesame sauce to pick from as well as they have this uber large cockle like the size of the palm of your hand which I don't see from other places. $20/head for an all you can eat buffet.

As I grow older, it seems like I can no longer stuff food like before. I get filled up pretty quickly and end up eating only a few items at buffets. A sign of aging lol? Anyway if you guys are planning to pick a hotpot joint along Bugis street, why not check out F&J. They are always crowded so be early though :)

PS they also have this 2 hour eating rule that you can't sit for longer than 2 hours if I'm not wrong.. do watch out for that. 

Korean Kwakwaja

Friend bought me this really pretty box of Kwakwaja during his trip to Korea. It has only a short shelf life of 5 days and it needs to be refrigerated. they are like a mix between moochi and mooncake. The correct way to eat it as described in the little printout - is to slice the Kwakwaja into thin slices and enjoy it with a cup of tea. 

It was indeed a very intricate experience biting and tasting this exquisite food. It probably packs as much calories as a mooncake. But it is too pretty to skip out on :P

Mad Jacks at Simpang Bedok

Decided to check out Mad Jacks finally after procrastinating for so long. We visited the branch at Simpang Bedok. Was kinda surprised that it wasn't too crowded, probably because the prices aren't exactly very very cheap compared to the other food around. We ordered the broccoli salad above, a ribeye and grilled chicken + 2 drinks. The bill came up to S$40+.

One thing to note when going to Mad Jacks - they don't have service staff, so you basically fill up a form that you can get from the table and note the table number. Then you go order over the counter and pay up first. They will then send the food over. 

I felt like a noob when I tried getting the attention of the servers until eventually they explained that I had to go to the counter to order. I'm like perfectly fine with it, but it will be cool if they had bigger signs explaining the process and not make me feel stupid. 

Food wise, pretty good quality. Although I thought the broccoli salad had way too much yoghurt in it and smelled a bit funny. But I'm not picky. We were very full after the meal. The rib-eye was kinda medium rare bordering on medium but still passable. It's the kind where you know it is in between. Not rare enough to be there and not cooked enough to be medium lol. 

I'm not too sure if I'll be back though but my tummy was satisfied at least :)

Brotzeit Sausage Platter @ Vivocity

Loving Brotzeit. We walked past the Vivocity's branch and decided to have tea there as they were having some sort of Oktoberfest celebrations. Ordered the sausage platter. Pretty yummy as there was a generous serving of sauerkraut and 5 types of sausages if I wasn't wrong. I have absolutely no idea what were in the sausages but my tea date and I concluded that we both loved the white coloured sausage. Am so going to order it the next time round. 

Didn't feel as greased out after having the platter. Will definitely be back. 

(And btw, we weren't too impressed with the german pretzel, so it wasn't pictured here.)
