Went to Liang Court to view HD TV ( Audio House) on one of the Saturday and saw Xiang Yun, Edmund Chen & family at the basement supermarket! OMG, Xiang Yun really talked like a DJ, her Chinese was so 标准 ( fluent)! Keke..

Oh, a bit side-tracked liao. Anyway, we went to Tampopo since we were there and my fren recommended the place to me before. The place was quite packed despite of the poor location ( Liang Court basement). The food there was kinda pricey also. Juz to have a better gauge, I took a few pictures of the menu ( me prof one, okie >.<) ....

Prego

Guess wat? I got.... FREE voucher again!! It was a $65 cash voucher and we can choose one from the 6 cafe/resturants at Swissotel stated in the voucher. HAHAHAHAHAA.... ^__^





Anyway, we had a hard time deciding which one to choose. Either not yet opened or closed for dinner or too expensive ( i.e prolly need to top up another $100 to satisfy my hunger) or just not worth to use the voucher.. -__-" We got no other better choice and so ended up at Prego. Anyway got free voucher mah, so no further complaints!


Well, this was the 2nd time I went to Prego. The first time I went, tink I had pasta, nothing fantastic considering that the price was not cheap. But the tirumisu was good and so I definitely got to order the tirumisu again! Keke



Typical of an Italian resturant, we were again been fed bread but with NO BUTTER!! Grrrr... I always like to have LOTZA butter on my bread and now I was deprived of such an enjoyment! Humpt.. free one how to complain?? Anyway, they gave us some spaghetti /tomato alike cold sauce to go along with the bread. It was actually quite weird at first but guess it was something different. And I must admit freshly baked bread was just too good and we finished everything in no time.

This bottle was quite interesting leh. It was in fact a bottle ( black vinegar) within a bottle (olive oil). Hmm, wondering where did they get this?


Back to main topic => FOOD!!


Now proudly presenting, our 2 main dish......


Salmon with foam-alike sauce ($30+)


What can I say? Normal salmon with weird foam sauce.... cant exactly say it was not nice to eat. Just so-so lor....



Pork with mashed potato ($30+)


Pork was kinda juicy, but after few bites I started to feel "exhausting". Ya know lah, pork was not as tender compared to chicken. I can felt my jaws under pressure and I dont have the mood to finish everything. That can be consider one of the Wonders liao, as usually I would polish my plate clean one lor...


Finally.. Tirumisu!!!!!




Layers of mascapone cheese & liqueur soaked sponge fingers. Topped it off with coffee/ cocoa powder.....MmmmMMM.. Marvelicious ( Marvelous + Delicious)!!

The whole bill came up to around $90+, including free bread, 2 main course and 1 dessert. The service was definitely good, ambience was homely ( because a lot of families gathering there?). Worth it? Well, I'm not sure... but I just feel that I could pay for similar stuff at a lower price. Haha... in any case, we just paid around $30 after utilising the voucher and so we were very very happy..

Showcase time!! Huh, what?? My photograhy skills lah! DUBZ....




Familiar flower pot? Aiya... same one as 2nd photo mah... scroll up to see lor....

Nectarie_Le'Dessert Patisserie

I passed by this shop at Clarke Quay when I went Liang Court recently. It's a dessert shop located somewhere near The Clinic, that sell the standard stuff like waffles , cakes & ice-cream. So what's so special huh, u ask me?

Ah-Ha, they have home-made icecream like Lavender Honey, Jack Daniels & ....... I forgot wat else. This is of coz, on top, of the normal flavour you can find in other ice-cream shops which I shall not elaborate. I ordered the Lavendar Honey ( one scoop at $4) and found it delightfully unique. Well, for some people, they might find themselves seemed to be eating soap or body lotion. So dun say I never warn hor... try it if you are sick of the normal mocha, black sesame and blah blah ice-cream!
Anyway, I dint take any picture of the ice-cream, nothing special with some vanilla-look alike scoop in a cup. BUT of coz, being a considerable blogger, I have instead attached some photo of a lavendar farm I visited at Perth ( Margaret River) few years ago... =p
