After raving to my sis about the ice cream here last night, sis wanted to try it too. So, in less than 24 hours, I'm back to bust my calories on ice cream again! This time, I didn't want anything sweet so I went for Coffee and Chocolate Stout ($2.50 for a small cup). The coffee flavour was really strong! I love the bittersweet coffee bean that was embedded in the ice cream.

Sis chose Rum & Raisins and Granny's Favourite, which was a good combination with strong contrasting flavours.

Eunice, the owner, was really friendly and offered us water when we decided to have our ice cream in the small parlor. When I asked her why did the ice cream melt so quickly, she explained that that was due to the absence of stabiliser as she wanted to use ingredients that were as natural as possible. Service here was really fabulous! Combined that with great ice cream, this is really a winner!

WELCOME!

In ancient Greek mythology, sirens are creatures which have the body of a bird and the head of a woman. They have such sweet voices that sailors who heard their songs were lured into grounding their boats on the rocks on which the nymphs sang.

To me, food are like the sirens in so many ways. Intoxicating, wonderful, beautiful and yet, so very deadly if you let them get the better of you. Food is a big part of my life and it’s meant to be appreciated and savored slowly. I admit that I am extremely particular about what I eat. If it’s not something I want to put in my body, I’d rather not eat. Some people eat to live while others live to eat. I’ve yet to discover which side of the camp I’m in… What about you?

I hope that you will enjoy reading about my food adventures as much as I like writing them. And many thanks to my family and friends who always wait patiently for me to take photos before digging in!
