Chocolate Pear Pudding~

i was watching Nigella Express on tv when Nigella Lawson whipped up this super easy to make and yummi-licious pudding~ It's so simple, i could even recall the ingredients and method after the show. Nevertheless, you could check out food network.com for her recipe.

SLICE~

Hurrr~ sweet SLICE of life! Just the place for exciting, cool and refreshing flavoured sliced ice desserts! They serve several interesting fruity, classic and special combos, besides that customers can also mix and match their favourite sliced ice, toppings and sprinkles.

~*Holy Matrimony*~

Matcha flavoured sliced ice served with giant red beans and grounded peanut.

Just one word to describe my sliced ice experience, 'SATISFYING'! I mean, what more can one ask for other than a chilled dessert on a hot and sunny day.

The thinly sliced matcha infused ice is so smooth, it melts almost instantly with each mouthful, accompanied with the crunchy ground peanuts and giant red beans... what a fantastic mouth-feel!

~*Hot Chick (almost!)*~

This is similar to hot chick just minus the caramel sauce. Milk flavoured sliced ice served with fresh bananas and topped with luscious chocolate sauce and grounded peanuts.

Milk + chocolate + bananas + peanuts, this is so much more enjoyable and healthier than the regular banana split :p

~*Mix * Match*~

Luscious milk "slice" with fresh mangoes & strawberries.

Fruity and refreshingly good on it's own~

~*First Date (minus the blueberry puree)*~

Fruity champagne grape "slice" with 2 servings of aloe vera pulp.

~*Crazy Love*~

Peanut "slice" with giant red beans topped with matcha powder.

A relatively nutritious dessert.

Swensen's @ Compasspoint~

When i was a kid, having a meal with my family at swensen's was considered a lavish treat... the crispy and fresh breaded fish, large golden fries and rich tartar sauce, and not forgetting to end off on a cheery note with a ice cream sundae dessert.

However the dinner at swensen's last evening apart from the prompt and friendly service, the food was a far cry from how it used to be before...

~*Grilled Chicken Salad*~

Fresh greens served with thinly sliced grilled chicken, almond nibs and creamy mayonnaise sauce.

~*Pesto Salmon*~

Pan-fried salmon served with mixed vegetables, mashed potato and diluted cream sauce.

Is it just us or have they reduced the serving proportions of their main courses?

~*Breaded Chicken*~

Deep-fried breaded chicken served with fries and coleslaw.

~*Sirloin Steak*~

Sirloin steak served with mixed vegetables. My dad prefers his steak to be fully well done.
