Ice Cream

I like my ice cream without any toppings and garnishes as I think they take away the flavour of the ice cream.

Your Ice Cream Personality is Classic

When it comes to ice cream, you don't need too much fuss. It's good on its own! In fact, you tend to think that too many toppings or weird flavors detract from ice cream's glory. You prefer a scoop or two of the highest quality ice cream. You like a rich texture and just a hint of flavor. For you, a good scoop of ice cream has a good nostalgia factor. You love any ice cream that reminds you of your childhood!

What's Your Ice Cream Personality?

Ice Cream

My favourtie kind of ice cream - green and mint! :)

You Are a Green Ice Cream Cone

You have a fresh approach to the world around you, and you like to think creatively. You're open to new opportunities. You are willing to walk on the wild or weird side in life. You're not going to knock something until you've tried it. You are a bit zany and out there, and people love that about you. You're having too much fun to be normal. Some good ice cream flavors for you include: lime, pistachio, green apple, and mint.

What Color Ice Cream Cone Are You?

Sweetness

Ice cream sandwich given out as dessert during our work place CNY lunch. Yes, sweetness! :)

Earthquake!

At long last, we finally had our Earthquake!

See how happy we are?! :P

It is a long standing tradition of our research team to celebrate each research mile stone with an Earthquake from Swensen's. Even though it is not entirely the same team from 2011 (we have a new member :) now), we work very well together! :)

Free!

After work, I took the train home. As the train was leaving Buona Vista station, I saw the longest queue ever at/ outside Rochester Mall. I wondered what's going on. It was only when I reached home that I realised it was Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day and there is a Ben & Jerry's outlet at Rochester Mall. Remembering how long the queue was, I wondered how long each person has to wait just for a free ice cream cone! I think I would rather pass lol. 

Walk + Ice Cream

It has been a long while since we last went to Tanglin Mall. After dinner, Juliane and I took a slow walk to Tanglin Mall. Marieann decided that she was too lazy to walk there lol. It was breezy so it was a nice and comfortable walk. :) 
We browsed around Tanglin Mall and saw some new shops. Before we walked back home, we had ...

Chocolate chip and Orange custard ice cream

ice cream from Brunetti. :) It was a wonderful end to a lovely evening.

Ice Cream Party

Juliane was invited to yet another birthday party in the afternoon. This time, it is an ice cream party. Quite different from the usual. :) The kids watched how ice cream is made and even participated in the making process. There was also a competition to see who could decorate their ice cream on waffle most creatively with the ingredients provided, e.g., coco pops, fruit loops, gummy bears, wafer, sprinklers, etc. Of course, there were games too for the kids, in between the ice-cream making and ice cream decoration competition. When the kids were digging into their ice cream and waffles, the parents also had some ice cream lol. Most of us tried the alcohol-based ones. :P Juliane and her creation

Private Sale

It's Isetan's Private Sale again. :) Since it is the school holiday, I brought both girls along when I went to the sale in the evening. The crowd wasn't too bad. We all left the sale happy as we each bought things we wanted! :)
After the sale, we went to the Isetan supermarket which is having the Spring Kyushu Fair, 17-28 March. There are so many delicious food! If you like sweets, MUST try: the soft serve ice cream Hiryuga Orange! It is not too sweet and it has bits of orange peel, giving it more texture. :)

What Frozen Treat Are You?

Another Blogthing quiz. :) My responses in blue.

You Are a Dipped Cone

You are dramatic, deep, and even demanding. Is it?? Haha. If you're going to do dessert, you're going to go all out with something super rich. Having dessert? Might as well go for it and be as sinful as possible! Lol. :P People might be surprised to know that you worry about how you're perceived. Well, who is completely NOT worried about how they are being perceived by others? You've got an image to keep up, and you don't ever want to appear weak. Of course, I am Chili Padi. Hahaha. :P

What Frozen Treat Are You?

German Fare at Brotzeit

We went to Vivocity for lunch. After looking at the various restaurants on the 1st level, we settled on Brotzeit again. I miss eating German sausages. Lol.

Marieann had her Kaiseschmarren ($8.90) again - shredded pancakes with raisins soaked in rum, drizzled with custard and sprinkled with icing sugar, together with a glass of plum sauce. Sweet heaven. :P This is supposed to be a dessert but she wanted it as a main, lol. At least, she had a side dish of mashed potatoes to fill her up too.
Juliane had her Huhnerhaxn ($9.50) again - breaded chicken strips with three different sauces to dip into. Both the pics and reviews of Kariseschmarren and Huhnerhaxn can be found in my 8 December 2007 blog post.

The girls' father had a Bauernomelette ($13.50) - omelette with ham, wild mushrooms and onions served with mixed salad and sour cream. The taste was nice, and its portion enough for lunch.


I had Nurnberger ($16.50) - pork bratwurst coarse on mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. Told you, I needed my sausages, lol. The mustard sauces complimented the pork bratwurst very well. The mashed potatoes was beautifully done too, smooth with the rich taste of butter and milk.



After our German lunch, we took a walk around. I looked into a shop but bought nothing. See, I do keep my money, haha. Juliane complained about her shoes being tight so we took her to the kiddy shoe shop that we frequent. Both girls got themselves a new pair of shoes.

After getting the girls' shoes, we had a rest at Haagen-Dazs. It was still a warm day, despite a short respite in the hot weather. (It rained for a little while at Vivocity.) The girls had their ice cream in waffle cones while I had a Berry Cool ($13.90) - raspberry sorbet blended with lemonade and crushed ice, topped with a scoop of strawberry ice cream. It was sourish, sweet, creamy and COLD. Good for a warm day, lol.

We headed for home after our rest. Need to wind down and prepare for tomorrow - school and work. :)
