Grilled Turkey and Mushroom Sandwich @ Simply Bread
Was introduced to Simply Bread at Guthrie House.. It's quite a gem I think, or perhaps it's just the nostalgia washing over me as I gaze longingly at the assortment of Potato Breads, Ciabatta etc. Prices seem rather reasonable too, a loaf of bread typically goes for about 5 bucks plus, which is around the amount you would have to pay for a similar one after conversion from Euros to SGD. We ordered a Special of the Day, which was a grilled Turkey and Mushroom sandwich. It came with a coleslaw, which was nothing to rave about but could be better if it were slightly wetter to counter the dryness of the breads. The bread came with 'grill streaks' which seem rather authentic, and was quite nice, though it might have been sweet if we could choose the type of bread for our sandwich. The fillings were adequate, and the melted cheese was on the generous side, awesome...

Chocolate Souffle @ Bakerzin
Went to Bakerzin for more Molten Chocolate Cake before the promotion ends hee... Got to try their Chocolate Souffle at long last too! We were initially hesitant about the portions as it looked quite puny in the photo in the menu, but we had pleasant surprise when we were served with this rather gigantic souffle and a scoop of capuccino ice cream to boot! Was quite heavenly, with a slightly crunchy crust and light warm insides. Though I would still choose the Molten Choc Cake over it anyday! =P

Ivan and I about to pig out on ice cream at Icekimo's! It's tucked into this row of shophouses at Sin Ming Ave (or is it Road?) somewhere around Upper Thompson, would never have found it or chanced upon it if not for him knowing about it and bringing me there. More homemade ice cream goodness! (There's more than Island Creamery now woohoo..)

Blueberry cheesecake, Teh Tarik and Nutella ice cream in chocolate waffle @ Icekimo
We tried the blueberry cheesecake, teh tarik and nutella. Blueberry cheesecake was nice, albeit not exactly a very local flavour. ;) The teh tarik didn't seem to have as strong a flavour of tea as what I remember of its counterpart at Island Creamery. Think I still prefer more swirls of nutella that Island Creamery does to theirs too... The ice cream seemed to melt at a slower rate at least. =) Was generally very satisfying though!
