It's actually my favourite out of the three mainly because a part of me thinks it's a tad healthier. haha&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Overall, Shokudo is a nice place if you're looking for japanese fusion kind of food. but there isn't a lot of variety to choose from and some of the prices aren't really justifiable for the quality of the food they produce. dear kept saying that they're just using frozen food to cook, which makes it "non-authentic"? a plus point for the neo-print stations in the restaurant, uber cute(:(:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916872578616832541-5095118119716598081?l=thehungrymonster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/feeds/5095118119716598081/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7916872578616832541&amp;postID=5095118119716598081' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/5095118119716598081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/5095118119716598081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/2008/03/shokudo-so-called-japanese-marche-katsu.html' title=''/><author><name>Vinest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06775034538639880467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4j240KIdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VXIwARx4JJ8/S220/Photo0019.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R9OFuFkkXaI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/tiVUULXqAJY/s72-c/20080308_12.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916872578616832541.post-5921690376777846521</id><published>2008-03-03T07:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:58:38.829-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;TOGI KOREAN RESTAURANT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;As usual was prowling katong area for new places for dinner.

First impressions, uh- oh looks like prawn noodle! but to our surprise it was nothing like it at all. Pasta was cooked al dente and lightly tossed in olive oil. Plenty of fresh seafood  too. We opted for the normal *spicy* level, which was already pretty fiery for us. Shiok!! Enjoyed this dish, maybe next time will be more adventurous and try the extra spicy option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173536691431996162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8wYNdVA-wI/AAAAAAAAAJU/IyKX1uJperY/s320/DSC00077.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;view of our seats and the night scene&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916872578616832541-2499765039779936362?l=thehungrymonster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/feeds/2499765039779936362/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7916872578616832541&amp;postID=2499765039779936362' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/2499765039779936362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/2499765039779936362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/2008/03/aglio-olio-bistro-nestled-in-quiet.html' title=''/><author><name>Vinest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06775034538639880467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4j240KIdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VXIwARx4JJ8/S220/Photo0019.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8wXktVA-rI/AAAAAAAAAIs/Ug2bW6bA77M/s72-c/DSC00012.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916872578616832541.post-4415989774986344412</id><published>2008-03-01T06:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:58:40.573-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; Deli Moroccan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;After buying camera , went to hunt for this restaurant which we heard about thru our fav food webbie hungrygowhere.com! This time we were out to savour some turkish fare. After walking round in circles finally found the place, Bussorah Street, just behind the big mosque! Atmosphere was nice , feels different.

The meat was soft and juicy, reminded us of herbal chicken. As for the broth, it had the strong taste of ---- u guessed it, potatos! haha Interesting dish , though i think we should have ordered the koofta tangine or beef tangine, which was without the potatos, and the broth was tomato based.

Large portion too probably fills 8-10 small glasses!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Service here was really friendly, had the homey feeling. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;So there, our first experience with mediterranean cuisine! we'll be back for more , to try their mixed kebab , salads , and moroccan apple juice!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;and of course we still got more places to add , altazzag egyptian restaurant and cafe le caire&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916872578616832541-4415989774986344412?l=thehungrymonster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/feeds/4415989774986344412/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7916872578616832541&amp;postID=4415989774986344412' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/4415989774986344412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/4415989774986344412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/2008/03/deli-moroccan-after-buying-camera-went.html' title=''/><author><name>Vinest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06775034538639880467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4j240KIdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VXIwARx4JJ8/S220/Photo0019.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lmltVA-oI/AAAAAAAAAIY/0urJsDmlnTM/s72-c/20080227_9.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916872578616832541.post-3539654139835776448</id><published>2008-03-01T05:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:58:41.691-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MAK'S PLACE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Looking for a place for dinner at night after leaving from my place. Decided to eat somewhere opposite Kembangan station so wasnt left with very much choices. First thing that came to mind was Seafood Cabana ! haha. After walking up and down the street a little searching we decided on this place called Mak's Place. Their tagline was " Restaurant food at hawker price " hence , the "hawkerant". Place was pretty packed , so it couldn be that bad right !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lcbtVA-hI/AAAAAAAAAHk/KrTgJg1jKOg/s1600-h/DSC00035.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172767278105688594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lcbtVA-hI/AAAAAAAAAHk/KrTgJg1jKOg/s320/DSC00035.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Punggol Seafood Mee Goreng&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lbVNVA-eI/AAAAAAAAAHM/ktwld6Y4qVw/s1600-h/DSC00028.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172766066924911074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lbVNVA-eI/AAAAAAAAAHM/ktwld6Y4qVw/s320/DSC00028.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Yum , long time since i ate this. Not really "punggol mee goreng " style, not as red and not as fried. This version was more wet. Me and baby kinda prefer it actually , not so oily and not too dry. There were quite a lot of stuff in it too, fish cake, egg , prawn , sotong. and i liked the accompanying chilli paste too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Seafood Mui Fan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lbVtVA-fI/AAAAAAAAAHU/P4lHeON08J4/s1600-h/DSC00030.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172766075514845682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lbVtVA-fI/AAAAAAAAAHU/P4lHeON08J4/s320/DSC00030.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Wanted something light , but not noodles so we ordered this. Taste-wise nothing really special but sure was above average from kopi tiams. Lots of ingredients too , and the main highlight , the giant prawn on top! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Banana Split&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lbV9VA-gI/AAAAAAAAAHc/SUnV3axJGyA/s1600-h/DSC00037.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172766079809812994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lbV9VA-gI/AAAAAAAAAHc/SUnV3axJGyA/s320/DSC00037.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Baby had ice cream craving so we went fo the banana split. choc . vanilla . strawberry icecream sandwiched between a banana sliced in half. First bite of the waffle ... lao hong one ! couldn bite thru haha, ok bad start. rest was just walls ice cream i presume with bits of ice inside. But then again cant complain since its just $3. anyways it did satisfy our craving =D Thought of the idea of having a stall in hawker centres which sells ice cream. Could have creations like banana split , sundae , waffles, cones, cup , floats , at hawker prices. Quite a change from the usual ice ka chang and hot deserts , feasible ? dont know but if there was such a stall id probably choose it over ice ka chang hee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;anyway we left FULL . Mak's place is quite a nice place for late night munchies with better than kopitiam food at low prices , lives up to its name of being a hawkerant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916872578616832541-3539654139835776448?l=thehungrymonster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/feeds/3539654139835776448/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7916872578616832541&amp;postID=3539654139835776448' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/3539654139835776448'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/3539654139835776448'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/2008/03/maks-place-looking-for-place-for-dinner.html' title=''/><author><name>Vinest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06775034538639880467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4j240KIdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VXIwARx4JJ8/S220/Photo0019.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R8lcbtVA-hI/AAAAAAAAAHk/KrTgJg1jKOg/s72-c/DSC00035.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916872578616832541.post-876100483521391963</id><published>2008-02-15T22:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:58:43.088-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Cafe Del Maar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;22nd bday!

Not a fan of colored rice, reminds me of fish and co's rice or those rice u find at indian chicken briyani. This was way different though. I like the springy texture and they used medium- short grained rice which i prefer. Ingredients were plenty, prawns , scallop, squid, clams, yummy. Fitting for a meal by the sea~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Roasted Spring Chicken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R7aIHD2SbvI/AAAAAAAAAGU/5V9jJ4sjjNs/s1600-h/DSC00034.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167467277327691506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R7aIHD2SbvI/AAAAAAAAAGU/5V9jJ4sjjNs/s320/DSC00034.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Cant really recall the exact name of the dish.

It was my favourite of the day, must-try! loved the sauce which is simmered for 28 days, sweet and light. beef was really tender, and didnt have that ' cowish' taste. heard its a blend of 80% beef 20 % pork. hee anyway yummy!

Came across this stall selling pretty unqiue deserts. It looked pretty much like tau huay, but was termed as egg milkcurd! It came in a variety of flavours - original , almond , chocolate, mango and more. We tried the mango flavoured one this time upon reccomendation by the owner. Texture-wise it was in between a mango pudding and a soya beancurd. Nothing really fantastic i'd say, but was a pretty interesting dessert to try and something refreshing to chow on during a hot day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seafood Cabana&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;We were looking for food pretty late at night near my place so we just went opposite Kembagan MRT to grab a late dinner. Settled down at Seng Kee Black Chicken Soup Restaurant, but left eventually since the menu was pretty limited and kind of difficult to order for 2 pax. Seafood Cabana caught our attention with its beach themed decor and we thus decided to have meal there. The walls, the signboard, the chairs and flooring and tables are all made of wood, like something u'd see at the beach. And even better just an arm's reach away was the monsoon drain, acting as a substitute for the sea? haha&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162072864371895154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R6Nd65mR63I/AAAAAAAAAFM/t7utxnymh8g/s320/Picture0323.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Crackers+nuts and lime juices. think this would be a pretty nice hangout for late night soccer matches in a more comfortable setting, compared to the other coffee shops around &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162079225218460546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R6NjtJmR64I/AAAAAAAAAFU/yskukSpx8y4/s320/Picture0322.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Hokkien Mee (M)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162072847192025938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R6Nd55mR61I/AAAAAAAAAE8/tz5I0WoNqus/s320/Picture0320.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;boy was this huge! barely managed to finish even though we shared. Felt like i stuffed a lot of mee down my tummy ! its been a while since ive eaten hokkien mee ( black kind ) so i pretty much enjoyed this. Came with quite a bit of sotong, fish cake , pork slices, prawn, vegetables as well. But after u've eaten 5++ bowls of it ,it gets sickening=s . anyways at $5.50 , super value for money! cheaper than what u get at hawker for that quantity,roar! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Claypot Tofu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R6Nd6ZmR62I/AAAAAAAAAFE/3diGMp5vVbY/s1600-h/Picture0321.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162072855781960546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R6Nd6ZmR62I/AAAAAAAAAFE/3diGMp5vVbY/s320/Picture0321.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I was expecting the dark sauce kind of claypot tofu actually, but this version turns out pretty good. Pretty light which im really glad since i really wouldn't want to add to the calorie-guilt from the hokkien mee! Ate quite a lot of veges from here! One thing to comment is that they should deep fry the tofu before cooking with the other ingredients to give it that slight crisp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916872578616832541-8830740215403604912?l=thehungrymonster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/feeds/8830740215403604912/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7916872578616832541&amp;postID=8830740215403604912' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/8830740215403604912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/8830740215403604912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/2008/02/chinatown-food-street-dim-sum-was-from.html' title=''/><author><name>Vinest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06775034538639880467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4j240KIdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VXIwARx4JJ8/S220/Photo0019.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R6Nd45mR6zI/AAAAAAAAAEs/6MF5W90SNxQ/s72-c/Picture0254.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916872578616832541.post-45260578634237187</id><published>2008-01-24T21:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:58:45.720-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Canele&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Patisserie&lt;/span&gt; Chocolaterie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We visited the newly opened branch at Raffles City basement. The dining area was situated on the circumference of a dancing fountain :D Managed to find a quiet corner with big plush cushion seats. They offer set meals (some comes without mains) and they also offer breakfast sets. But since we already had a very filling dinner at The Asian Kitchen, we decided to settle down with some desserts to satisfy our sweet &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;toothies&lt;/span&gt;. Girl girl was looking for her L' Amour cake which was unfortunately out of production, thus we settled for the following cakes below.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Le &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Royale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159294501567720226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5l_A5mR6yI/AAAAAAAAAEk/JVoXnRkoXQ8/s320/wwww.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5l3I5mR6vI/AAAAAAAAAEM/4DXYOkQVUkc/s1600-h/Picture0207.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;64% dark chocolate mousse, hazelnut &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;feullitine&lt;/span&gt;, almond success and chocolate &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;genoise&lt;/span&gt; with rum. absolute heaven! one thing i noticed are that the cakes here &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;aren&lt;/span&gt;;t too sweet, which appeals to the health conscious us! the base reminded us of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;potechi&lt;/span&gt; chocolate crunch, with little bits of biscuit-like crumbs embedded into the creamy mousse. Must- try!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Tiramisu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5l3JZmR6wI/AAAAAAAAAEU/ERWlzba4xEs/s1600-h/Picture0212.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159294492977785618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5l_AZmR6xI/AAAAAAAAAEc/BsysYz-gYJ4/s320/ssss.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Wanted to try this as it was one of the 'cuter' looking cakes on the display shelf. I thought that the stripes design on the cake made it unique because not many &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Tiramisus&lt;/span&gt; are designed in this way. The cake wasn't really special upon first bite, the taste grows richer as we continue eating. There was a top layer of jelly-like-thing which tasted a bit like rum. We also tasted a tinge of coffee and brandy. A classic choice for people who loves rum! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We'll definitely be back for more, to try the L'Amour ice cream and the other unique flavoured confectionery that they offer !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916872578616832541-45260578634237187?l=thehungrymonster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/feeds/45260578634237187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7916872578616832541&amp;postID=45260578634237187' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/45260578634237187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/45260578634237187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/2008/01/canele-patisserie-chocolaterie-we.html' title=''/><author><name>Vinest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06775034538639880467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4j240KIdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VXIwARx4JJ8/S220/Photo0019.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5l_A5mR6yI/AAAAAAAAAEk/JVoXnRkoXQ8/s72-c/wwww.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916872578616832541.post-876483729525784325</id><published>2008-01-21T08:53:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:58:46.324-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Asian Kitchen at Vivocity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ended up with a Chinese food fare again! haha, i love Crystal Jade's ramen  ♥ But this time, it was Asian Kitchen's ramen.

Personally, i think these were &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;better&lt;/span&gt; than Crystal Jade's. It was way juicier and fresher!

The cheesecake was light and smooth. Loved the chocolate banana too! chunks of banana at the crust matched perfectly with the layers of chocolate mousse/ cake. yummy. cam whored while we slowly ate, liked the ambience, nice fat cushioned seats and romantic lighting.Staff informed us of another of their stupid regulations- no taking pictures of the cafe. Anyway nice place to spend late nights, with good food in a cozy setting : ) hope they change their stupid rules though  lala&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916872578616832541-1770312826513899247?l=thehungrymonster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/feeds/1770312826513899247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7916872578616832541&amp;postID=1770312826513899247' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/1770312826513899247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/1770312826513899247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/2008/01/sin-ma-live-seafood-restaurant-looks.html' title=''/><author><name>Vinest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06775034538639880467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4j240KIdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VXIwARx4JJ8/S220/Photo0019.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IOOUKIdUI/AAAAAAAAACs/A5za1wtvdBU/s72-c/Picture0083.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916872578616832541.post-3302148850331283302</id><published>2008-01-19T06:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:58:48.004-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;East Coast Ba Chor Mee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a seemingly endless torturing walk in search for a simple dinner,we stumbled upon this famous ba chor mee restaurant at changi road ! Ordered 1x ba chor mee , 1x pork chop mee , 1 x water dog soup , 1x waterchestnut tofu. Tofu was out of stock and &lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;shui jiao&lt;/span&gt; tang didn come, staff must have &lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;shui jiao&lt;/span&gt; qu le.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IGsEKIdQI/AAAAAAAAACM/UdWGeElI2pg/s1600-h/Picture0184.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157191877392889090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IGsEKIdQI/AAAAAAAAACM/UdWGeElI2pg/s320/Picture0184.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IGskKIdRI/AAAAAAAAACU/q85ka7j8060/s1600-h/Picture0185.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157191885982823698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IGskKIdRI/AAAAAAAAACU/q85ka7j8060/s320/Picture0185.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; yum! this must be one of the best ba chor/pork chop noodles ive eaten, not oily like most ba chor me stalls out there. noodle was springy and ingredients were plenty! cheap too only 3 bux/bowl. sure to be back in the future to try the tofu and other stuffs : D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hong Kong Cafe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IGs0KIdSI/AAAAAAAAACc/lrzyyFEFpb4/s1600-h/Picture0187.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157191890277791010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IGs0KIdSI/AAAAAAAAACc/lrzyyFEFpb4/s320/Picture0187.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Stopped by to grab some dessert/drinks. I had a 1x mango/pomelo ice blend , dear had 1x glutinous rice + vanilla ice cream float. Mango/pomelo was refreshing with bits of fruits inside to chew on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YOGURU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After ANOTHER super long walk , managed to find the elusive Kallang leisure park ! Went to try out Yoguru yogurts which we had previously seen on an internet review.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IGtEKIdTI/AAAAAAAAACk/2xPaymxPmik/s1600-h/Picture0193.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157191894572758322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IGtEKIdTI/AAAAAAAAACk/2xPaymxPmik/s320/Picture0193.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 1x YoguBliss + Granola toppings&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;YoguBliss consisted of the original flavoured frozen yogurt blended with dragon fruit and pomegranade. It had a very smooth texture; sweet with a hint of sourness in the right proportions. yummy! one thing we noticed was that the yogurt doesnt melt like yami yogurt or any other ice cream, which is another plus point; enabled us to slowly enjoy our dessert while we rest our &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;tired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; legs. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;later on went around to look at other shops, came by to&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; The Yogurt Place ,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;tried samples of their mango yogurt and berry yogurt. Both of us agreed that it didn taste quite as good, pretty much what you can get at supermarket yogurt + fruits. preferred the frozen yogurt offered at yoguru.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the top floor found the japanese restaurants offering 99c/ plate sushi and pretty cheap set meals , eg $3.99 terriyaki chicken don. Not too sure abt the quality of food but anyways will make plans to pay them a visit and make a verdict. &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Kallang Leisure Park&lt;/span&gt; we'll be back!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916872578616832541-3302148850331283302?l=thehungrymonster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/feeds/3302148850331283302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7916872578616832541&amp;postID=3302148850331283302' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/3302148850331283302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/3302148850331283302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/2008/01/east-coast-ba-chor-mee-after-seemingly.html' title=''/><author><name>Vinest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06775034538639880467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4j240KIdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VXIwARx4JJ8/S220/Photo0019.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5IGsEKIdQI/AAAAAAAAACM/UdWGeElI2pg/s72-c/Picture0184.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916872578616832541.post-4636479978369393581</id><published>2008-01-15T05:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:58:49.100-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-size:180%;" &gt;Segar Restaurant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4y650KIdLI/AAAAAAAAABk/ZNCmDBBNGS4/s1600-h/Picture0072.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155701175848826034" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4y650KIdLI/AAAAAAAAABk/ZNCmDBBNGS4/s320/Picture0072.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Thai Iced Tea and Bandung.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Well what can i say, felt like i was drinking syrup. wayyyyy too sweet!!

It doesn't have much pastries, in fact, the main highlights of the cafe were the cakes. We've walked past Obolo a couple of times late in the night usually after dinner, and the cafe would be closed. This time round, we specifically went down to Joo Chiat a little earlier just to give this cafe that is said to be using French, European and Japanese pastries as inspiration for stylish and comtemporary presentation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we first stepped into the store, one glance and we were able to oversee the entire cafe. They do have seats and tables, but the place is relatively small if you were to compare it with local pastry joints like Bakerzin and Coffee Bean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it was our first time there, we went with the usual impromptu question - what are the recommended cakes? The girl at the counter was quite friendly and she went along to introduce us some of the store's "best sellers". She mentioned the Nosiette and Mango Passion. Nosiette would be the chocolote mousse cake while Mango Passion was a cheesecake based.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Vinest thought that the staff was rather "unprofessional" as she wasn't really sure of which cake to introduce because her first line was "all the cakes are very good". haha which i would love to believe and try every single one of them! sadly, our stomachs could only take so much that day as we were just opting for appetizers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After much raving about which cheesecake to try, we settled down for the chocolate cheesecake.

The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;ambience&lt;/span&gt; and setting was pretty well done, it's a nice place for mini gatherings and mini birthday celebrations.&lt;br /&gt;The staff there are nice as well, though the waitresses were a tad bit blur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x202/edgycaesar/Photo0529.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x202/edgycaesar/Photo0529.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x202/edgycaesar/Photo0527.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x202/edgycaesar/Photo0527.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main courses were above average, i love the sauce that goes with the chicken and the salmon for the pasta was fresh. Portions were just right though they look really huge. I wanted to order the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Clay fish&lt;/span&gt; Pasta which was intro on the set of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Makan&lt;/span&gt; King, but i couldn't find it anywhere on the menu. And the staff had no clue about it too. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;hmm&lt;/span&gt;, weird huh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x202/edgycaesar/Photo0530.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x202/edgycaesar/Photo0530.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now to the desserts. As everyone knows, i am a dessert person! However, it was disappointing. The waffles are soggy and anyone who has eaten waffles before could tell that these waffles are obviously frozen ones taken out from the freezer and left to heat ten minutes before. the ice cream was so-so, i mean i don't expect much but at least serve us with better crispier waffles? Even regular restaurants that are not specialized in waffles like Cartel and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Swensens&lt;/span&gt; have no qualms in producing better quality desserts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a little weird to have a puny slice of grape to match along with the strawberry too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Owell&lt;/span&gt;, perhaps there are more worth while desserts to try in their menu, but the waffle ice cream was definitely a disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, Miss You will be a place that i will miss. Will most probably come back some day to try out the other stuff on the menu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x202/edgycaesar/Photo0527.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916872578616832541-4277757646154025298?l=thehungrymonster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/feeds/4277757646154025298/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7916872578616832541&amp;postID=4277757646154025298' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/4277757646154025298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7916872578616832541/posts/default/4277757646154025298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thehungrymonster.blogspot.com/2008/01/miss-u-cafe-miss-you-that-was-wacky-tag.html' title=''/><author><name>Vinest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06775034538639880467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R4j240KIdDI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VXIwARx4JJ8/S220/Photo0019.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916872578616832541.post-5862756478747015379</id><published>2007-12-20T20:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T01:58:49.520-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;"&gt;A Christmas Story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5V0bkKIdeI/AAAAAAAAAD8/hbq3NEsGjZE/s1600-h/Photo0038.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5V0bkKIdeI/AAAAAAAAAD8/hbq3NEsGjZE/s320/Photo0038.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158156965134235106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5V0bkKIdfI/AAAAAAAAAEE/cJZ_SRxTvik/s1600-h/Photo0045.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7SyW3Kaq2Wk/R5V0bkKIdfI/AAAAAAAAAEE/cJZ_SRxTvik/s320/Photo0045.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158156965134235122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;baked these lovelies for the people i love! i love decorating the cakes, experimenting with different toppings.
