New York Cheesecake II~

Adapted from Allrecipes.com - Chantal's New York Cheesecake.
This recipe has over a thousand plus positive reviews and even entered the Allrecipes.com Hall of fame - 2003. It's definitely the best New York Cheesecake recipe i've ever attempted.

~*Chantal's New York Cheesecake*~

It's really rich, smooth and creamy, simply divine :p~ So wonderful on its own! But if you prefer it with toppings, some strawberry sauce, fruits or melted semi-sweet chocolate should complete the marvelous experience~

p.s. i was about to transfer the cake into a plastic container when i realised i haven't captured it on picture! So ...keke... sorry for the messy pictures.

A perfect wine to go along with the wonderful sashimi/sushi lunch~
~*Rosemount Estate Show Reserve Chardonnay 2006 (Australian)*~

Take-away Japanese Lunch~

Shopping for lunch @ Meidi-ya.
Freshly prepared salmon sashimi, inari, tamago sushi, crab salad sushi, seasoned scallop wings and crab meat to go~ i brought a cooler box (with an ice pack) along to keep the food chilled while they were transported home :p

Haato Gelato~

i was on mi way to Meidi-Ya at Liang Court to do some marketing when i spotted Haato Gelato. Haato (formerly known as Gelato Di Crema) has been around for 16 years yet this was my first Haato experience :x
~*Green Tea with Red Bean*~
It's creamy and moderately sweet, i liked the taste of the green tea ice cream and the mouth-feel of the red beans. Oh! It's free from artificial colouring and preservatives. It's now one of my favourite gelato place~ i'd be rolling back for more soon~ :p

Cold Rock Creamery @ Holland Village~

~*Rum & Raisin *~
A kiddish size rum & raisin ice cream without mix-ins @ $4.50: Disappointing... Sweet and very rich buttery flavour but i couldn't taste the rum at all...

NYDC @ Holland Village~

Holland village used to be a usual hangout during my growing up years when i was still living in the western part of singapore... the place had changed quite abit over the years...

Lerk Thai @ Marina Square~

Lerk Thai serves pretty good thai food~ With their decent variety of thai cuisine and all at relatively affordable prices, it's no wonder the place is usually packed with the lunch/dinner crowd. They're currently having a GSS (Great Singapore Sale) lunch time promotion, for every 2 set lunches ordered, the third set lunch is on the house~ The set lunch include steamed rice, tom yum soup and a main dish on the set lunch menu.
~*Tom Yum Soup*~
The soup's mildly spicy with a decent serving of fish, prawns, straw mushrooms and cuttlefish.
~*Green Curry Chicken*~
Tasty chicken in coconut milk green curry.
~*Lemon Chicken*~
The crispy chicken was over fried and alittle too dehydrated, but the sweet and sour lemon sauce was really good.
~*Sweet & Sour Fish*~
Fried fresh fish fillet topped with wonderful sweet and sour sauce~
~* Som Tham Thai*~
This was a separate a-la-carte order, Green Papaya with prawns. i thoroughly enjoyed the refreshing taste of the green papaya with ground peanuts and the spicy-kick from chilli padi~ This was my favourite dish amongst the rest~
