Yo! What a good thickshake!

Saw this listed but I wasn't motivated to go but then my dearest LLWL showed me pics so I decided to go there!
I got it for half price because they have just opened and I hope to make another trip there soon to try the other flavours.

Basically you choose a flavour, then you pick milkshake style or thickshake style.

If you choose the milkshake style, there are more options to choose from such as adding topping and a scoop of icecream to it!

The toppings are shown on the train.

Icecream selection:

I went for thickshake because there's nothing like a good American style thickshake with icecream blended in.

The thickshake arrived surprisingly fast and they were able to make it less sweet as requested.

I had the Taro thickshake and it tasted amazing because it was real thick blended with sweet icecream in it with a hint of Taro.
I really appreciated the colour because most taro flavours are lilac which means the taro flavouring here has no colouring :)

Anyway, hope to try the Green Tea thickshake next.

The menu was a bit difficult to see though because it is below the freezer cabinet, so you have to crouch down and read it or read it from a distance if your not short sighted!!
Anyway, fear not, they have menus at the counter.

Leave with Joy after having desserts at Joyful

Before I went in, there were so many desserteries nearby so competition is tough.
I have already tried Next Station so went here.

The place was relaxing and comfortable.



There were stylish things here and there.

Huge mug!!

Here was what we had.

Green tea rolls:

I loved the green tea sheets which were rolled with cream and red beans inside.
The texture was like firm jelly with a fragrant green tea taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Uji matcha iceberg:


This was a lovely scoop of green tea icecream on a bed of red beans topped with egg white souffle on top.
I loved the souffle and icecream.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate fondue:
The chocolate fondue is probably the best dessert fondue I have had because they have paired it with the right fruits.
In Hong Kong, some places don't serve it right because they give you Asian fruits such as melon and other weird items which don't go with chocolate.

Both the strawberries and bananas were delicious dipped in hot chocolate.

The portion was really good too, there was quite a fair bit of strawberries and bananas.

Grilled saury fish t 板長壽司

Got the grilled saury fish set which came with soup, salad and rice.

Unfortunately, the fish seemed like it had been in an accident because every bone was broken which made it difficult to eat because you had to spit out shards of bones in every mouthful.

Cute NY style food truck spotted at Festival Walk

When I first heard of this joint I wasn't sure what it was because the name The Lobintan sounded strange.

After seeing photos from fellow foodies, I realized it was a food truck.

The truck is brightly coloured in black and yellow which reminds me of New York and the food boxes are the same style as the US Chinese takeaway boxes with the cute handle.

It was a cold day so I had the mock sharks fin soup and fried fish shaomai.
The fish shaoai was really impressive because they were fried with an airfryer which makes them healthy as only a drop of oil is needed.
The Shaomai was really crispy and delicious.

After that, had the mock sharks fin soup which was really nice especially with the vinegar, white pepper and sesame oil.

The black fungus and tofu skin were really filling.

This is a really good joint for street snacks in a clean and air conditioned environment served in clean dishes with a neat seating area.

Rice and peas at Mandy's Caribbean Bar and Restaurant

Had a craving for rice and peas so went to Mandy's for a quick fix.
The rice was soft and fluffy with so much fragrant Thyme and starchy Kidney beans.

The rice is tasty on its own or best with Mandy's curry or Jerk chicken.

Huge Jammie dodgers!!

If your British then you should be very familiar with the Jammie Dodger biscuit.

"Jammie Dodgers are a popular British biscuit, made from shortbread with a raspberry flavoured jam filling. They are currently produced by Burton's Biscuit Company at its factory in Llantarnam. In 2009, Jammie Dodgers were the most popular children's sweet biscuit brand in the United Kingdom, with 40% of the years' sales consumed by adults." quoted from Wiki.

Anyway, I walked past this Chinese cafe and saw these oversized Jammie Dodgers and Palmiers!!!!


If you see the size of the JD on my hand, then you can imagine how big that Palmier was!!

Chinese Jammie Dodger:

I didn't expect it to taste nice but it was fun eating it!!

The Chinese version had apricot jam in the middle but between the biscuit there was not enough jam so it was a bit tasteless.
If would also taste nice if they used Malt sugar syrup because it is sweet and chewy which would go well with the tasteless biscuit but it was good that it wasn't buttery.
Apart from that, I really liked it and I wished I got the huge palmier too.

Quick drink at RBTea

Went here for a quick drink.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sparkling oolong tea:

Had my favourite sparkling oolong tea which had icecream on top and refreshing oolong tea jelly at the bottom.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Broccoli and sausage pizza:

The pizza was thin as a cracker so it was nice and light topped with broccoli florets and sausages.
It would be good if it was Western sausages and not Asian style sausages.
