Baileys and softserve at Honey Creme

Came here for a quick dessert after dinner.
They had new softserve flavours, this time they had softserve with Baileys and the Baileys expresso tiramisu.

Tried the Baileys which had a shot of Baileys poured on top garnished with almond slices.

It was really nice because the strong alcoholic taste of the Baileys was toned down by the softserve and the almonds gave it a nutty savoury taste.

The best lobster brunch at Opera House Italian

This was my second visit because I enjoyed the food so much!!
I am going to go again very soon but it will have to be next year sob sob!!

On this visit, they had lasagne and chocolate cake which was not there before.

Lasagne:

Chocolate cake:

Here was what I had:
Started with this springy delicious lobster.

Tried the lobster benedict which had thick and delicious runny yolk in the middle.

Then I had some pasta which was al-dente in tangy tomato sauce:

The steak here was really good too, it was juicy and sweet.

The lobster broth was rich:

Next I had my favourite creamy burrata which had runny cheese in the middle.

To finish off I had the pistachio gelato which was amazing with natrual pistachio taste.

The lobster panna cotta was interesting and different because the lobster was sweet.

Coming back again very very soon!!
At the back, there is a kids room where they can play!!

Green tea thickshake from Yo Yo SHAKE

Last time tried the taro thickshake so this time went for the Green tea.
I really liked it because the vanilla taste was strong but the green tea flavour was still there.

Again I requested it to be less sweet and it was exactly how I wanted it to be.

Will be back soon.

Hoji tea cookies from Kaorisabo

Thanks to Ivy for these lovely Japanese style cookies.
They came in a lovely gift bag.

There are three flavours: Matcha, Hoji tea and black bean.

Tried the hoji-tea flavour which had a strong roasted smell and taste with pieces of tea leaves in it.
The bitterness of the tea flavour in the cookie was balanced nicely by the butteryness of the cookies.

Noodles again at Min Max 1950

Went here ages ago and had some noodles.

The style is still the same, you have to order the noodles electronically and pay by octopus.

Egg noodles with luncheon meat:

The broth was not strong hence the noodles were tasteless and the luncheon ham was weird and different to the ones I have had before because it had lots of dark red bits and looked scarily unappetizing.

Christmas at JACOMAX's Pizzeria

Had a lovely Christmas gathering here and tried some new items.

Pizza Burger $498:
This was huge!! It looked like a British meat pie and tasted like a meat pie!
