Swensens with Mom

I applauded Swensen's ability to maintain food and service standard in every of their numerous branches! 1st time at their IMM outlet today, and things had been going fine too :)

Deciding on their Fish & Chips for Mom. And other than the Beef Lasagna i had with Ric previously, we are having the Seafood Lasagna today.

Seafood Lasagna ($13.90++)

Regular Shrimps and Crabsticks between the layers of Pasta, accompanied with generous splashes of creamy Spinach sauce and golden fried Potato sticks.

Mom enjoys her first Lasagna.

Fish & Chips ($13.90++)

Golden-fried fillet of Fish and U.S. Fries served hot from the fryer, chilled refreshing Coleslaw as side.

Congratulations, Swensens!
You have delivered!
And we're going to miss your 1-for-1 Mains promotion when it's gone.

Good Morning Nanyang!

Just as Mom forewarn, Heng Kee's Curry Noodle certainly had me dehydrated miserably. Desperately needing a Coffee to my rescue.

The adjacent 'Morning Nanyang Coffee' in Chinatown Point is a saver.

Coffee C ($1.30), Coffee Black ($1.10), Ciabatti Bread ($2.20)

8 months had passed since we were here the last time, and food standard had been good and consistent so far!

But securing a table at this well-liked cozy establishment is a challenge.

Crisp toasted Ciabatti Bread spread on with thick layer of warmly melted Kaya & Butter.

Mmmm... their Signature.

Heng Kee Curry Noodle

Being a little early today, i could afford to join the 10 man queue at Hong Lim's Heng Kee (#01-1271), the most advocated Curry Chicken Noodle stall in Singapore!?

Curry Chicken Noodle ($4)

A few sips of its 'powerful' gravy and Mom surrendered. "You're gotten thirst after this bowl..." She warned.

Sure enough, she was right.

And we couldn't get across the constant popularity this stall enjoys throughout the year; being featured in Singapore Tour Guide Books was their other bonus.

Their minimum $4 serving portion would not do for an average male. And for juicer Chicken meat, i would vote for the nearby PingPing stall (level 2) anytime.

Modesto's Italian

Promptly ushered to our reserved table, chairs pull out; laying of napkins on our laps once we are seated. Simple orders for their Mad Monday Promotion ($9.95++ for selected Classic Pasta & Mini Pizza) were taken attentively and warm water with Lemon slice served swiftly.

A waitress etiquette no lacking in Modesto's Restaurant Vivo.

Complimentary warmly toasted Focaccia bread with dipping Olive Oil & Vinegar for my hunger pangs. Could i ask for a refill?

Wood-Fired Pizza - Mini Mediterranea ($16.50++)

Mediterranea styled in Tomato, Cheese, Black Kalamata, Olives, Garlic and Oregano. A Wood-Fired tasting Pizza no doubt! A Mini Pizza that's by no means mini; it's at least a 10 inches.

I do love its Pizza that's an in-between of paper-thin crust from Waraku and customary thick crust from Pizza Hut.

Classic Pasta - Carbonara ($20++)

Ever a Classic, the Carbonara Spaghetti with Pork Bacon, Egg Yolk and Parmesan Cheese in Cream sauce. Pity about not seeing the "yellow sun rise" here; the Egg Yolk :(

Pasta de Waraku could have done the Carbonara as good if not better, but at a smaller price tag.

标记，Piew Kee Cuttlefish

If you are in the vicinity of Blk 11 North Bridge Road Market and had a craving for Cuttlefish, turn in to its stall #01-91.

None comparable to Meng Kee Satay Bee Hoon or Mei Qi Kangkong Cuttlefish at the East Coast Park Food Centre but it does curb the craving a little :)

Satay Bee Hoon ($3)

Kangkong Cuttlefish ($3)

This stall also had Satay that's sold for 30 cents per stick only! But we much prefer the ones here.

Bakerzin - 50% Off Desserts!

Yes! Themed the sweetest deal ever at Bakerzin, their monthly promotion for August takes 50% off their Classic Desserts.

Coupe Cheesecake ($9.80++)

A Fruit Tart of sort, assembled with 3 scoopfuls of rich Cheese Ice cream topped with Strawberry and Raspberry wedges.

No doubt a dessert that would make very girl beams with delight, but certainly not me - this sourish tasting Dessert a definite no no.

Bailey's Irish Cream Souffle ($8.80++)

I love my Souffle!

This is such a perfect after-meal dessert; you could equate it as a comforting Caffeine experience.

Was taught by the server to make a hole on the cake and pour the Espresso Vanilla Sauce within. The ultra light and eggy Puff soaks up the Espresso - and all was gone in 60 sec.

I love this little Caffeine bitterness in my dessert.
And experiencing all new things with Ric - Priceless...
