Ice Cream Chefs - Not so value for $$

We were on our way to Werner's (see separate review) when we passed by this little ice cream palour. I was wondering if any one knew of it since it seems to be quite off the beaten track.

After failing to purchase anything at Werner's (it was alose to 9pm at night), we decided that we could do with a little consolation - ice cream and returned to this ice cream palour.
Upon taking a closer look, the sign board "Ice Cream Chefs" stared back into my face. I then recalled having read about it in HGW and the Straits Times some time ago.

We were greeted by 4 service staff upon entering the store and contrary to my initial thought, it is actually pretty crowded.

Stepping up to the display area to choose the flavours that we would be tasting for the night.
1 of the staff took the initiative to ask if I wanted to test any of the flavours and so I tried the blueberry - quite creamy but a little lacking in berry taste and a little too sweet for my liking.

We did not go for any mix-in as we wanted to taste the real ice cream flavour.In the end, we ended up with
1. Strawberry - milky but lacking in strawberry taste
2. Hazel nut - loads of milk, again lacking in hazel nut taste
3. Green tea - the only flavour that I will have again. It has got real green tea taste with just the right amount of milk and sweetness.

Kinda of disappointing esp since the price here is somwhat on the high side compared to other competitors and the servings are also not as generous as I would like it to be.

Must Tries: Green tea ice cream

Werner's Oven - Contented Bread Lover

After reading good reviews of this place coupled with the latest episode featuring SG's best bread bakery, how can I a self professed bread lover give this a miss?

So we decided to try our luck on Friday night to see if we can still catch any bread for the following day's breakfast.
TO our disappointment, there were no bread left by the time we got there (well, it was close to 9pm and if there is still a wide selection of bread left, then I will seriously doubt it's popularity).

Anyway, I did a quick check with someone who appears to be the lady boss on it's operating hours and made a mental note to come here early in the morning so that
1. we can make sure we have bread fresh from the oven
2. pick from a wide selection of bread/pastry.

So we returned at 8.30am on Sat morning to buy our breakfast. I could hardly contain my excitment as we drive to Siglap.

Fast-forward to our enterance to Werner's. Greeted by a selection of bread and pastry. I was a little disappointed that the shopfront is not fully populated yet (I think we are too early, some items are still not ready).

Nontheless, we busied ourselves picking items that appeals to us.Finally, we checked out our purchase totalled at $24.We bought
1. Pretzels - Kind of tasteless except for some salty taste due to the presence of salt.
2. Chicken pie - Chicken chunks with peas and potato in rich creamy sauce. It was still warm when we put it to our mouth - yummy.
3. Banana donut - Soft dough with fine texture together with sweet fat banana. This taste exceptional!
4. Pretzel donut - Tasty, not too sweet with soft and fine dough.
5. Donut with colour sugar balls - as above but a little oily.
6. Muesli stick - Rye bread roll with raisins and sesame seed. Not too sweet and crunchy with every bite.
Definately recommended!
And also not forgetting friendly staff to make your visit a pleasant one.
