Icy Present!

Today, I met up with Ming Jie at Bishan Interchange to buy some presents for our Boss. First, we need to fill our stomach and we settled down at Crystal Jade Kitchen for our lunch. He ordered Wanton noodles (which is the world's heaviest noodles ever because it weighs one ton...!), and I ordered Prawn dumplings noodles, and another bowl of congee to be shared between the 2 of us. The noodles are so Q, and the prawns taste extremely fresh as you could taste the crunchiness when you take a bite! As for the congee, you could taste as if it was cooked with super high class soup base. Just one spoonful and you could feel all sorts of wonderful flavours enriching your taste buds. Haha. Really enjoyed my first meal at Crystal Jade.
 
Next, we took a bus to an Ice Cream Parlour situated at a rather weird place. The parlour called Icekimo! (Isn't that name sounds cute?) You would not identify the shop right away because the building where the shop is located is under renovation, so you will think that the shop has closed down. You need to step into the "Under Construction" building to find the ice cream parlour.

The shop is amazingly cold. It is really a good spot to rest especially in such a hot weather season. The parlour offers many creative flavours of ice cream such as Horlick Maltese and Teh Tarik. I tried the Horlick flavour and it really tastes great! It is not too sweet, tastes just right, so you would not feel sick after taking a few bites. There are also a variety of desserts such as waffle ice cream, crepe ice cream, ice cream cakes, and spaghetti made of ice cream! The environment is also very situable for studying. So students can show support to the shop more often!

I called up to reserve Cempadak (Jackfruit) ice cream yesterday, and I collected it right after I finished my dessert. The tub is actually made up of styrofoam! How thoughtful! People will not be so worried if the ice cream will melt on their way back, since that material can keep heat away from the ice cream! The ice cream will be the present we prepared for our boss since I heard Yang saying that he used to be called Cempedak. Haha.

We headed back Bishan immediately to buy a small cake for him. Then, we also thinking of buying him a Garfield!!! But I couldn't find it anywhere at Tampines, there are only Pooh Bears all over... But still hope our Boss will like the ice cream...
