What a day to spend my time~! Alright, i had to admit that this aren't that rosy to start up with. Being woke up by someone at 8+ am to know that she forgotten to bring my HDD to work. I was supposed to meet her for dinner. Then came another sms from the person that i am suppose to buy an used textbook for my Uni. What a great start~! I cooled off in having a dip in the pool & get '
heated' up again under the sun. Yes, i went for a short swim and a tan. Last 2 days of gym still left my arm & chest-muscle aching. Hence, reduce the exercise load seems to be the logical idea for me... (or simply finding excuse) Despite not able to get my HDD, i still met up with her for a dinner. What do we have for dinner? Its
Shin Kushiya @Vivo City. 2nd time in a Japanese restaurant in a week. I was at
Ministry Of Food @Marina Square on Wednesday. Both serves good food. But honestly, i prefer the latter. Maybe due to the food we ordered? I wasn't into BBQ food but i like Japanese curry, which i ordered in
MOF. I also had a dessert at
MOF. Their Matcha Shake was superbly delicious. Its more thick compared to Bishan Library's Green Tea Peppermint Moo. The taste of
Matcha was strong, the texture was smooth & thick... it topped up with Ice-cream. Upon drinking it, you will be wanting for more...
Before leaving
Vivo City, we visited
Chocolat Factory. And, yes, from the name of the store, you won't get any prize of guessing right what was selling there. C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E-S! Alright, to those ladies out there, the guy tending the shop wasn't bad looking, well-groomed, speak fluently english & chinese. May not be hunk, but after looking a while, pretty cute. So
Xinyi, there isn't a need to take back your words. *laugh* Anyway, I was eye-ing on this particular item they are selling.
The Pocket Tube. It came in 3 flavors. Guess what, i got all 3 of them. Once a while, i guess its alright to let spoil myself.

Not satisfied with the
Pocket Tubes, i was attracted to the variety of chocolates they are offering. Of course, normal chocolate will not tempt me that much. I like to try new things. They offer 9 choices of chocolates that actually contains alcohol. You read me right. A-L-C-O-H-O-L. It may not be special with chocolates with alcohol. But hey, i seldom get to buy this type of chocolates, not to say having 9 types at one go. There i go again, i bought all 9 pieces (it was sold in terms of grams). I spent about 70+ in that shop. I will try the chocolate tomorrow since its way too late to have any chocolates at this time. Not after a sinful outing today.

Leaving the Vivo City, how can we end our day without desserts. No, i did not have it in
Shin Kushiya, despite the fact that i wanted to try on their black sesame flavored ice-cream. So we ended up on
Ice3 (pronounce as ice cube) instead. If you are a follower of my blog, i mentioned it before. Today, i tried on 2 new flavors ice-cream mud-pies & a few new flavors of ice-cream in scoop form. Its not new offering, but for me, first time taste them.
Eyes Wide Open Mudpie
Mocha ice cream drenched with chocolate fudge & dusted with Milo® powder & chocolate chips. Its a little bitter for those sweet-tooth. That's largely due to the powder i supposed. It doesn't taste totally like Milo powder, or maybe i did not really try to eat it at home like that. The powder seems to be of abit of coffee-bitterness & Milo-sweetness combinations. Overall taste? Not bad
Alcoholics' Anonymous Mud Pie®
You must really go try this if you ever step into one of the
Ice3 stores in Singapore. Read the description of the website:
"The best mudpie in Singapore.
The only mudpie awarded platinum rating in Sweetest Things, Singapore's Best desserts
Jam deliriously delicious Rum & Raisin ic cream on an Oreo® crust, squash it with a tonne of raisins & almond flakes, & then pour over with butterscotch syrup for a euphoric indulgence that's barely within legal limits!"
Its no wonder why they were awarded the platinum rating. The taste is REALLY good. I fall in love with raisins (those with rum). It is a heavenly combination. No wonder, Rum N' Raisin is a hit in Singapore. This is the first time i really taste it in Singapore.
Swensen's now offer a HALAL flavor, hence i doubt it project the real taste.
Ice3's offering really make me begs for more. I totally forgotten about my exercise when i ate it. Its been a long time since an ice-cream make me go
ga-ga. In short, don't trust my words, go taste it yourself. You will not be disappointed.
