food trail and ah long

Just reached home after a day with amanda! Hmm, didnt get to take as many pictures as i'd like to. but nvm la, at least got some pictures. so.. relaxing on the eyes! haa.

We went on a food trail! basically both of us came up with a list of things we wanted to eat.. like our food cravings. Then we planned out a route and then proceeded to have those items =) hee. so.. here we go.


1) Chicken Pie @ dao hui stall in Serangoon

We met at dao hui stall in Serangoon, and she wanted to eat the chicken pie there. It's not really that nice.. too small too. Not sure of the price cos she bought it and i just took some bites of it.
The notebook behind is my list, the paper on the right is hers. Haha yes she brought a travel map.

2) Fried Carrot Cake and Sugar Cane juice @ foodcourt in AMK ( $3 and $1.20)
Photobucket
We were actually in AMK looking for some goreng pisang which was on amanda's list.. but the shops were closed! so sad can. all closed to go bai nian or sth. zz. so in the end i suggested we just eat something there or else it's a wasted trip.. so i bought the carrot cake and she ordered sugar cane.
I dont like sugar cane for a particular reason. But i just drank until left abit, then i told amanda why. and she got slightly disgusted too. wahaha.

3) Twister Fries and McFlurry @ McDonalds ($3? and.. $2? ugh forgot)
Photobucket
dont they look delicious!? I LOVE twister fries =)

There was too little oreo in the Mcflurry! there should be moreee.
i was telling amanda that Oreo is super useful. It's used in like so many things la! mcflurry.. oreo cheesecake.. even those bubble tea shops have a special Oreo menu of the various blends. The creator of Oreo must be pretty rich if he patented it.


4) Pretty-looking Doughnut @ Missy Donut ($1.40)
Photobucket
Amanda wanted a pretty -looking donut, just for the visual. When i saw this i suddenly had a craving for it, cos last time bestie gave me a donut that had white chocolate like this on top and chocolate filling inside that was really nice, so i thought of that (in fact, is it the same one? hmm)
It's so pretty right! Doesn't look like a donut does it. Was delicious =)


5) Rock Melon @ Foodcourt in PS ($1.60)
Photobucket
Ok repeat after me: RIIIIP OFFFF!
omg $1.60 for one small slice of fruit? It's alot smaller than it looks. Even if it was imported from the tropical islands of Hawaii and vacuum sealed to preserve its freshness.... it's kinda expensive aint it??
Amanda who wanted it was suddenly deterred when she saw the price.. but i insisted we still get it cos i kinda wanted it too. The upside was that it was sweet and nice. But still! $$$!

6) Pasta Shrimp Cheeze @ KFC ($3.00)
Photobucket
Kinda nice but i don't think it's worth 3 bucks. The taste of the floury crispy deep-fried exterior is too overwhelming too - takes away the shrimp/pasta/cheese taste on the inside.

7) Oreo Cheesecake @ Cafe Cartel ($4.60 [$4.90 after GST -_-] )
Photobucket
The cheesecake part was a tad too lemony tasting and I couldn't taste the oreo. was still nice overall, but i prefer the plain cheesecake taste and.. more oreo plstnx. They asked me if i had student pass. =) I still look like a student :p

8) Mudpie with IceCream @ New York New York ($6.90 [$8.00 after service charge + GST])
Photobucket
This is so freaking delicious. I couldn't resist and took like two bites of it then remembered that we hadn't taken a photo of it. But seriously! The chocolate part is the richest chocolate you'll ever taste, and the chocolatey sauce on top (which amanda insists is milo powder + abit of water) accents the effect. The vanilla icecream allows your tastebuds to switch to a blander but still nice flavour so that you wont get overwhelmed by the richness of the chocolate, but allows a delicate balance of delicious chocolatey-dessert.
Nicest dessert ever! Well worth the money, go try it !

a shot taken with flash and at a different angle. Man.. i wanna eat it again.


9) Mushroom Soup @ Soup Spoon ($7.10)

Their soups are really nice and tasty. But amanda ordered a grande one .. which is like medium size. Which i thought was a little too much. The mushroom taste just got a little stifling after awhile. I liked it up to the point when i was feeling too.. overwhelmed by the mushroom taste. She finished the rest.
I think i preferred the soup we had the last time we were there.. i can't rem what's it's called. i think beef sth. i'm not sure.


Photobucket
and that concludes our food trail! i wish we had more food on the list though. I wanna go food trail again! hehe. see how.
(if you're really observant, you'll figure out that this photo obviously wasn't taken today. we forgot to take a pic :/ ugh. ) (well actually we did but mandyy thought she looked weird so she deleted -_- )

~~

we also watched Ah Long Pte Ltd.. which seriously isn't very good. There is no real plot, the flow isn't there. It has its funny moments, but.. it's so NOT a family show. It's.. riddled with sexual connotations. Like almost the whole thing. tsktsk.
shouldve watched the jaychou bball movie. ugh.

oh well, time to bookin tmr. happy valentine's day in advance to all. and happy A level results collection too. :/ the next time i come out will be.. 23rd Feb. holy cow that's long. :(

bye~

p.s. i tried to color code the food names to differentiate which were chosen by amanda and which were chosen by me.. but blogger seriously f---s up everything and after 10 mins of trying to fix it i've given up, hence some blue some black some pink. Items 1, 2b, 4, 5 were picked by amanda, the rest by me. yup.
