Old Chang Kee & Starbucks, United Square
The morning started off with OCK and Starbucks. I had an espresso frappa, along with porridge, Curry-O and soybean. Mum and Dad joined us for breakfast and CB did her own thing for the morning. After breakfast and a "quick" shop at Cold Storage, we headed to the MRT, where Dad went to Orchard, and the rest (except CB) went to HarbourFront.
Beard Papa, VivoCity Upon arrival at VivoCity, basement 2 was full of eateries and food stores. One was Beard Papa, where I tried a chocolate puff with vanilla custard filling. I much prefer the normal puff without the chocolate, and the pastry to be not so crisp.
Yong Tau Foo store at Banquet Food Court, VivoCity For lunch, I went for Yong Tau Foo. I picked 7 pieces, selected rice noodles and received everything in a slightly salty stock. It was pretty good, although the stuffed chilli I had was blazing hot, and so I only ate a little. I would of loved an egg to be cooked through the soup but the way they cook Yong Tau Foo kinda works against it.
After lunch, we proceeded to look at the shops, level by level. On the second level, I stopped for:
Haagendaaz, VivoCity
I don't believe I've had Haagendaaz before so I thought I'd give it a try. I chose my favourite icecream flavour of course, macadamia nut. This icecream was very creamy and delicious. The only problem was the $6.70 pricetag.
Dong Dae Mun, VivoCity
I thought I'd give this korean store a try, where they sold fried chicken thighs for $3.50. The chicken was chopped and put into a bag, along with a couple of satay sticks for poking. This chicken was quite tasty, the seasoning had a ginger element which was nice.
Afterwards, we headed to Marina Square for more bowling with Mum. She bowled for the first time and even got a strike!
Pariss Intenational Buffet, Marina Square
Since we were in the area, we decided to have Pariss for dinner. I had a total of 16 small plates, and consisted of:
Sharks Fin soup. It wasn't bad, but I've had a lot tastier.
Smoked salmon, two different types of scallop and grilled fish. The scallops seemed to be overdone.
Some lunch dim sum items.
Baked scallops. Scallops which are covered in a cheesey sauce.
Steak with pepper sauce. Whilst I do enjoy pepper steak, this one was just OK. I much prefer their previous occasions where they serve it with just salt and pepper on the side.
Chicken thigh. The chicken dishes are served with a sweet chilli sauce which has a decent kick.
Lamb with pepper sauce. This wasn't bad, but nothing to rave about.
Salmon with mayonnaise. Prefer it without the mayonnaise.
Dory Fillet. The fish was cooked well, but as before, it was drenched in chilli sauce.
Another chicken thigh. Mmmmmm.
Mutton satay. This did not have the strong mutton taste. This was quite tasty, along with the chicken version...
Dessert plate 1. Various cakes and a durian puff. This puff wasn't as good as Ang Mo Kio's durian pastry store.
Another plate for desserts.
Mango and vanilla icecream. Not bad, however the mango icecream was not sweet enough for me.
Chicken wings and prawn crackers to get rid of the sweetness from dessert.
