Dessert Crepe~

Do you crave for something warm yet cold? Sweet and sour? Crispy and soft? Refreshing yet fulfilling? Haha, why not hope down to The Vila'ge @ the heeren for a dessert crepe with a scoop of movenpick passion fruit & mango ice cream?
~*Crepe with Passion fruit & Mango Ice cream @ $7.70+*~
The crepe is crispy at the edge, nice and soft at the center with sweet and smooth custard fillings, topped with refreshing scoop of passion fruit & mango ice cream to add a'lil sourish tinge...

La Pizzaiola~

This place was recommended on ieatishootipost's blog, the italian pizzas looked sooo~ good, hence i decided to check the place out last evening. i wasn't exactly blown away by their pizza, on the contrary, it was just average, not that i'd roll back to the place any time soon...
The pictures shown below are single slice servings which costs $4. They were preheated before serving, hence there wasn't the cheesy-stretchy mozeralla effect. It would be better to go for a full pizza as they will be freshly baked after the order is made.
~*Verdure*~
Mozarella cheese, rich tomato puree sauce and vegetable (olives, pickles...)
~*American Minced Beef*~
Mozarella cheese, rich tomato puree sauce and seasoned minced beef

Kimchi Chige Soup~

Have you experienced food that tasted so bad that it just spoilt your day? This Kimchi Chige Soup was one such example. i was at the food court in cineleisure this afternoon and came across this korean food stall (which looked quite promising) and decided to give it a try... (Deh~ bad decision...).
Firstly, the appearance looked un-appetizing, the kimchi looked as though it has been left out in the open for too long and looked somewhat dehydrated...

Next the glass noodle was gooey and eeky, and there were quite a number of sliced cabbage stalk that should have been discarded instead of adding 'em to the soup. i also didn't like the way they included luncheon meat cubes into the soup.
I ended up fishing out the cabbage and tofu and avoided the rest. The only good thing about it was that the soup was very spicy and that's just about it...

Classic Bittersweet Brownie*~

Craving for rich chocolate brownies? This would definitely satisfy that craving of yours.
~*Classic Bittersweet Brownies*~

Rich, moist, and super chocolatie...

The Alice Medrich's Classic Bitter sweet recipe was taken off "she bakes and she cooks" blog.

Romankan Yokohama~

A simple and quick jap meal, anyone? If you adore katsu, you'd definitely have to check out Romankan Yokohama! It's a small eatery located at Takashimaya basement 1 makan place, somewhere beside the escalator.
It is a small eatery with a seating capacity of about 25-30 and katsu bento or fillet katsu sandwich are their main speciality.
~*Homemade Fillet Katsu Sandwich*~
i simply lurrvvve this sandwich, yummie-tasty pork fillet katsu with special sauce and jap mayo, tomato slices and buttercup lettuce, packed in a cute 'lil plastic wrapper. Although it is tagged at $3 per sandwich, it's definitely value for money.

~*Katsu Curry Set @$14*~

Katsu served with boiled vegetables, wedges and rice, with a choice of soup or salad, curry sauce and a drink. The curry is unique as it contained tender, finely sliced meat that gave the japanese curry the added oomph~

~*Chicken Fillet*~

If a set is simply too much for you to handle, could simply just order the katsu. Besides pork fillet katsu there are ebi, chicken fillet and pork-loin katsu. The katsu was deep fried to perfection; juicy katsu within the golden brown crunchy breaded layer. Best of all, it was not too oily.

Besides dining-in, they do offer take-away orders too. i liked their nice, friendly and warm service. Will certainly be back for more katsu :p~

Korean Minimart*~

This dedicated mini mart sells a wide array of korean products. If you can't find what you're looking for here, most probably you'd have to get it from korea...i think...
~*76% Dark chocholate (No sugar added)*~
Well, it's not exactly sugarfree, there's still some amount of white sugar content in the chocolate (just sufficient to mast the ultra bitter cocoa taste).

p.s. lotte chocolate fans can get their lotte chocolate fix from this mini mart too~

This korean minimart is located at Burlington Square, along the mainroad, directly opposite the bustop.
