Maybe the owner's surname is Lim?

The weather is a bit too hot for you to handle? How about a dessert or two to beat the heat?

'Beancurd' Though they are selling the sweet and smooth beancurd over here, but that isn't the most interesting point about the dessert over here.

'Grass Jelly with Gingko Nuts' Dessert wise, they are only selling a few different types. But on top of the basic deliverable, you can top up several other types of ingredients to it. There's stuff like 'gingko nuts', 'ginger', 'attap seeds', etc... Though I loved the bitter taste 'Grass Jelly', but I don't mind adding a few other types of ingredients and add an additional taste to it.

So where can you give the desserts over here a good try?

The name of this stall would be "Uncle Lim's Beverages". This is located inside 'Beo Crescent Market and Food Centre'.

Not just Honey...

I still can remember the length of the queue when they have opened the first outlet in Singapore. The queue outside the first outlet just doesn't seems to go away...

'Pandan Gula Melaka' This reminds me of the Mr. Softee that one can get from a 7-Eleven in the early days. However, this has a far more creamier and smooth taste.

For a start, the soft serve is in pale green, which reminds me more of the lime-green color more than the shades of 'Pandan', though the taste do comes with the taste of 'Pandan'. Besides for the tube of 'Melaka' syrup that is sticking out of the soft serve, there's interesting ingredients like 'Crunchy Puffed Rice', 'Attap Chee Seeds'(Palm Tree Seeds) and 'Coconut Shavings' that goes around it. As I mixed all the ingredients together, there's a nice mix of milky and crunchy sensation. On top of that, despite of the amount of 'Melaka' syrup that goes around it, the amount of sweetness that I'm getting is still pretty acceptable. :P

'Cereal Milk' The name of this has pretty much given one a rough idea of the ingredients that might be used in this soft server. And that would be 'Cereal'. Almost every single bite comes with the nice crunchy bits of cornflakes, which kinda reminds me of the nice 'Parfait' that I have tasted in Japan. :D

So where can you give these 'Soft Serve' a good try?

The name of this place would be 'Honey Creme'. They currently have a few outlets in Singapore and this is their first outlet in Singapore, which is located on level 1 of '313 Somerset'.

Queueing for Michael....

Nope I don't think that I will queue up for the tickets to a concert, but I am willing to spend a bit of time and queue up for food. :D

'Michael Jackson' This is also known as a 'Michael Jackson', which is a mixture of 'Soya Bean Drink' and 'Grass Jelly Drink'. As for the drink itself, it isn't too sweet and there's lots of 'Grass Jelly Strips' inside the cup of 'Michael'. On top of that, though it comes with a moderate portion of ice, but it tastes pretty good too. There's a nice mix of both bitter and sweet taste, which is a (+)

So where can you give this drink a good try?

The name of this stall would be 'He Le, Soya Bean Drink Grass Jelly Drink'(和樂豆花水仙草水). It's located inside 'West Coast Market Square', which is located opposite, 'West Coast Plaza'.

1 dessert 2 variation

As far as I can tell, this stall owner really have guts. Though it's a stall selling desserts, but they are selling not 10, not 5, but 1 type of dessert only...

'Ching Teng'(清湯) They are preparing and selling this only. Though it comes in 2 variation (Hot or Cold), but it's still 'Ching Teng'. So what's so special about it? The brownish looking bowl of 'Ching Teng' might appear to be pretty boring, but it does comes with a big variety of ingredients. As I scoop out and savor the bowl of 'Ching Teng', I have spotted ingredients like 'Gingko Nuts', 'White Fungus', 'Barley', 'Dry Longans', 'dry persimmon strips', etc... Regardless of the number of ingredients added, there's a good mix of 'sweet' ingredients, which really helps one to beat the crazy hot temperature.

So where can you give this dessert a good try?

The name of this stall would be 'Four Seasons Ching Teng'(四季清湯). It's hidden inside 'Clementi Market and Food Centre'.

Another crazy Ice Kacang stall...

When one has no luck with a rainy day, one tend to turn to a good bowl of dessert for a chilling sensation. But this is a bit too....

'Coconut Ice Kacang'(椰糖红豆冰) One might ask, what makes this different from ordinary 'Ice Kacang'? Let me get this straight. They are covering the layer of ice with 'Gula Melaka'(Palm Sugar). And I have listed this dessert as one of those that I would only be having once a month. The extremely POWERFUL sweet taste is a bit too much for me.... TT.TT Besides of overloading the consumer with a complete sweetness, the ingredients that are hidden beneath the Ice Mountain isn't that bad too. Not too bad for a dessert stall.

So where can you give the desserts a good try?

R.I.P...... :P

It rhymes. And the post today has something to do with the word R.I.P. And it's actually not one but many many R.I.P... lol

They have populated the walls over here with lots of posters that consist of all these interesting pick up lines. I was pretty amused with some of the posters hanging on the wall over here. :D

Most of the customers over here are going for the ...

'Ribs'...

more 'Ribs'...

so many 'Ribs'... They are not only preparing 1 type of ribs. There's actually 5 different types of 'Ribs' that one can try over here. And I have given all 5 different types of 'Ribs' a good try already. :D 'Signature Hickory BBQ Sticky Bones' If you are into thick smoked 'Ribs', this is the thing for you. Not only it's coated with this thick BBQ sauce, the overall taste of the 'Ribs' are pretty solid too. And frankly speaking, the sauce itself is a bit too thick for me and in fact it's so thick that I think I will have problem finishing 1/2 a slab of this.... :| 'Garlic BBQ Spare Ribs' Out of all the 5 different flavors that they are offering over here, I guess this is the easiest to be accepted by everyone. And I don't find it spicier and as funky as the other flavors that they are offering over here. 'Tuscan Baked Spicy Spare Rib' This is the most funkiest version of 'Ribs' that I have ever tried till date. Probably because I myself isn't a big fan of Tomatoes for a start. But as compared to the taste of the 'Ribs' the taste of the 'Tomatoes' are far too overpowering, which to a certain extent makes me wonder what am I eating? A chewy 'Tomatoes' or ...? 'Spicy Asian BBQ Spare Ribs' Though it might look fiery but the appearance can be deceiving. I'm getting the nice sweet taste of the BBQ sauce but I'm not getting the fiery sensation that I'm expecting. Pretty disappointing for a 'Spicy Asian BBQ Spare Ribs'. Last but not least would be my favorite, which is... 'Smoked Peppercorn Spare Ribs' The 'Ribs' comes with this nice blend of both sweet and spicy taste, topped with a very nice aroma too. Personally, I find this the best out of all 5 flavors. It's giving the nice spicy sensation that I like, topped with a moderate level of sweetness, which makes this a pretty big (+). The texture of all the 'Ribs' over here are pretty tender and not forgetting the juicy and chewy meat that goes around the bones. In fact, probably it's due to the fact that I'm ordering 1/4 slab at a time, therefore I don't have any difficulty ripping the meat and the bones apart since they are served 'fresh' too. :D

All the 'Ribs' sums up to a 'Boney Hill'...

'Red Skin Mashed Potato' If you are hoping that this would ended up to be pretty much similar to those that you are getting out there, you will be so so disappointed. Slightly a bit more dry than those that comes with a sauce, the ones over here has a thicker texture and it's much more thicker in taste too. And not forgetting much more filling too. =.="" But it comes with the skin too, which makes this pretty indulging.

'Corn Bread' They should categorize this as a 'Muffin' rather than a bread. The fluffy texture that goes on top and the nice sweet fillings that rest at the bottom, simply makes this a pretty interesting combination. Not too bad for a 'Bread'. :D

'Soup of the Day' Seems like a rich vegetable soup to me, but I personally find the next soup to be far more superior than this. And superior over here doesn't mean that it's richer in taste, I find the texture to be much more better too.

'Mushroom Soup' The creamy soup that comes with a rich mushroom taste simply makes every single scoop better and better. I wanted to go for a second helping but unfortunately this is the last few bowls of the day, which is kinda sad. :(

'Coleslaw' I wanted something refreshing and cooling to act as a full stop to my pleasant dining experience over here and this has fit in perfectly. Though this still couldn't replace a scoop of ice cream completely, but it isn't that bad either. :)

So where can you give all these delicious mains and sides a good try?

The heaven of Skewered Food?

I love to eat Japanese Food. Therefore, from time to time, I will keep a lookout for new Japanese restaurants to try, and once I have the time, I will give some of them a good try. Therefore as for today...

'Cabbage with Japanese salt dressing' The cabbage slices over here are not only salty, they are pretty crunchy too. Not too bad for a start.

'Fried Garlic' The size of these 'Fried Garlic' reminds me of sweets. And this is the taste that guys would probably like. It's bitter and as you started chewing away, there will be a nice fragrance bursting inside your mouth.

Besides for the appetizers that are listed on their menu, there's also an interesting list of side dishes too. For example, there's 'Karaage' (Deep Fried Chicken), 'Chawanmushi', 'Gyoza', 'Hiyayakko'(Cold Tofu), etc... And the specialities over here are...

'Tsukune' It's not the 'Tsukune' but the... (However, the rounded-shape 'Tsukune' balls are pretty delicious. Hidden inside a layer of sweet sauce, are the juicy and chewy meat, which is worth a big (+).)

'Skewered Food' Besides for the 'Tsukune', they have also listed a big variety of 'Skewered Food'. There's vegetables choices, seafood choices and most importantly, there's a big selections of 'Skewered Food', which is made up of meaty and vegetables ingredients. On top of that, the fatty chunks of chewy meat and pretty good too. :P

'Fuwa Fuwa Nabeyaki Udon' The creamy Fluffy texture of the 'Udon' noodles are a (+), but if you are thinking of eating more 'Skewered Food', I would strongly encourage you not to order this dish. Especially when the portion of this dish is slightly a bit too big and filling.

After giving so many dishes a good try, it's time to give the 'Desserts' a good try. And the sweet ice cream would be one of the best choices listed on their menu.

The name of this restaurant would be 'Sumire Yakitori House'. It's located on level 1 of 'Icon Village'.

Ice Cream Buffet !?!?!?!?!

These few days the hot and humid weather is simple getting from bad to worst. And I just simply couldn't get rid of the idea of eating scoops of ice cream out of my mind.

'Ice Cream Buffet' And the search for 'Ice Cream Buffet' begins. They have pop in more than 10 different flavors of ice cream over here and taste wise, there's the common flavors like 'Strawberry', 'Vanilla', 'Chocolate', they also have special flavors like 'Lychee', 'Coconut', etc... On top of that, the texture of the ice cream varies too, which makes this far too good for a 'Ice Cream Buffet'.

So where can you give the 'Ice Cream Buffet' a good try?

Dining with the unexpected...

I don't really mind stepping into a restaurant full of decorative elements. And it can get pretty interesting when there's....

Since I have a big appetite, I decided to give the buffet menu a good try, so that I can keep the damage to my wallet to the minimum... 'Starters' Since most of the starters looked pretty interesting, I ended up trying quite a lot of them.

'Seasoned Baby Octopus'(日式章魚仔) Nicely seasoned, this is one of the favorites in the Japanese gourmet world. And they have prepared it nicely. :D Not too bad for a start.

'Seasoned Jellyfish'(日式涼拌海蜇) This is equally good as compared to the octopus. The chewy sensation are simply too superb.

'Mouth-watering Chicken'(重慶口水雞) Time to spice things up a bit. The chilled slices of spicy chicken can really spice up my life?.

'Crispy Fish Skin with Salt & Pepper'(瑚盐魚皮) Not getting the salty and pepperish touch, these crispy fish slices are pretty nice in texture but pretty bland in taste.

'Fried Tofu with Sweet Chilli Sauce'(泰式炸豆腐) Not too stingy with the ingredients, the taste is pretty normal but the the portion is definitely there. In fact, most of the starters over here comes with a pretty generous portion and great taste. In fact, I could simply just stick to the starters only.

'Skewered food'('Satay'/'Yakitori'/'串烧') Most of the 'skewered food' over here are pretty up to standards. Not only it's chewy, the succulent meat chunks are simply irresistible, especially those that are marked with a Japanese/local symbol on the menu. In terms of the texture, those that are marker with the Chinese symbol isn't that bad, it's just that they have covered those sticks with a layer of overpowering pepper & salt, which makes it pretty disturbing.... =.=""

Top: 'Enoki Mushroom'(金针菇) Middle: 'Eggplant with Minced Garlic'(蒜香茄子) Bottom: 'Butter Pumpkin'(牛油烤南瓜) For the health-conscious, they also have a good selection of vegetables dishes. Not too outstanding, but the taste isn't that bad either. :D

'Saba with Miso'(味噌烤鲭鱼) Flooded with lots of tiny bones, but the sweet taste of the fish is there. Just need to be extra careful with the bones. :P

'Japanese Udon'(日式乌冬面) For the hard core eaters, there's always the Rice and Noodles alternative too. Though I have given the Udon noodles a try but the use of ingredients are pretty funky. Not that the taste is bad, it just that it seems to be more of a Udon version of 'yakisoba'.

Time to make preparations for the last few dishes. Doesn't seems to work
as a Japanese Miso soup. But luckily I have placed orders for the...

'Miso Soup'(日式味噌汤)

Top: 'Coconut Creme Brulee'(椰香蛋塔) Bottom: 'Cheese Cake'(豆腐芝士蛋糕) After all the heaty stuff, time to work on the chilly stuff. The smooth texture of these sweet desserts are pretty nice. I should have set aside a bigger portion of my stomach for these desserts.

Here's a few photos of their menu. The buffet includes most of the stuff except for the 'Premium' and the 'Beverages'.

The whole place is decorated with all these interesting action figures and toys that are the 'in' thing in the past. I wonder how much effort is needed to prevent people from stealing them.

So where can you give these dishes a good try?

The name of this place would be 'taan Charcoal Grilled Skewers Beer'(炭烤串烧啤酒). It's hidden in one of the shop houses located along 'Liang Seah Street'.
