Tom's Palatte - Excellent Service Crew and Creamy Ice-cream

First good goes to the staff at Tom's palette. They are very friendly and take the trouble to talk you thru the different flavours if you cannot make up your mind which flavours to choose. They are also very keen to have you sample the ice-cream to help you make the right choice.We arrived at about 830pm at night and there aren't that many flavours left. We tried1. Oreo cheese - very creamy and rich2. Chocolate - fantastic rich chocolate. Absolute must try!3. Cherry & almond - strong almond taste but a little too sweet for my liking.
4. Sweet21 (mix of lots of sweet stuff - peanut butter, horlicks...can't rmb the rest) - also a little too sweet for me.In general, the servings are generous and the staff take great pride in their products and are attentive to your needs.

YY Kafei Dian - Great Tasting Kaya Buns

We paid a visit to YY Kafei Dian after our little ice-cream treat at Tom's Palette since it is just a stone's throw away and we heard some good things about the kaya buns they offered.

It was pretty late at night (~9pm) and I was quite worried that there would be no more buns since this is more of a breakfast thingy. But lucky me, they do! So me and Mr HB ordered 2 buns and coffee and tea. It's just like having breakfast items for supper.With great anticipation, I waited while watching them toast the buns.After a short wait, we were served piping hot coffee/tea and freshly toasted kaya buns.

Without further adieu, I grab one of them and sink my teeth into it.The bun is cripsy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sinking my teeth in further, the kaya and butter simply melts in my mouth. One word to sum it up - heavenly!Mr HB then commented that the kaya reminds him of the kaya his grandma used to make.

I can't wait to go back for breakfast this coming weekend.

Hock Lam Street Popular Beef Kway Teow - Get your Beef Noodle fix here

We were wandering along purvis street wondering what to eat late on a Friday night when we chanced upon this little shop which reads "Hock Lam Street Popular Beef Kway Teow".The word "Popular" definately leaves us wondering if they are really good enough to have it on their sign board.Curiousity got the better of us and we found ourselves sitting down on an empty table in no time.Mr Hubby ordered the soup version while I the dry version.Something that caught my eye was the crashed peanuts. This is the first beef kway teow that has peanuts as a condiment.The beef kway teow came with generous serving of kway teow, beef slices and beef balls (4 i think). The beef is juicy and thick and beef balls "springy". The gravy is thick and delectable. All for the price of $5.Definately worth a try for beef kway teow/noodle lovers.
