Udders Ice Cream

I love ice cream. Especially from B&J and U.d.d.e.r.s! What I love about U.d.d.e.r.s is that their ice cream do not melt easily and that the texture of the ice cream is chewy! I dislike ice cream that melts super fast after like a few seconds they are in the cup or cone. But for U.d.d.e.r.s ice cream... you literally can bite the ice cream in your mouth before it melts.

Love their U logo hehehe
Really cute and funny table top comics
Saw another one that has an animal asking the cow: "(Pointing at the udders) Is that your six pack?" Lol...

Really cute cover!
The three styles of flavours: Classic, Premium, Connoisseur
I wonder why they think Gila Melaka is a good name.
Clockwise from top left, Chocolatey Kit Kat, Gila Melaka, Hazel's Nuts, Snickers Mars Honeycomb Vanilla
Because I love chocolate alot, Hazel's Nuts is my favourite flavour out of all the others! Taste like nutella with chocolate coated hazelnut biscuits mixed in! So awesome! Snickers Mars flavour was really special and very sinful too! I like Gula Melaka and I thought their Gila Melaka could be sweeter and stronger. They added bits of attap chee in too but because it was frozen, it was stoney hard. Same goes for their kit kat in Chocolatey Kit Kat.

Clockwise from top left, Italiano Pistachio, Rum Rum Raisin, Orange Choc Bitters, Bailey's and Bourbon
Italiano Pistachio was alright. Just grounded pistachio with milk. Rum Rum Raisin was so strong that even one scoop is hard to finish. Good for those who loves Rum I guess. Orange Choc Bitters has sinfully dark and awesome chocolate flavour but because it has a bitter taste to it, Makan Boy didn't like it. Bailey's and Boubon tasted alright but nothing too special.

I also tried their Mao Shan Wang and D24 durian flavours which were very rich and tasty! They recently introduced new flavour called Cowfee (coffee ice cream) which was decent too.

So far I have been to this outlet at West Mall, Novena, East Coast (which is nicer to chill at) and the service standard has been consistent. Friendly and approachable young crew. Considering how much alcohol and quality they put into the ice cream, the price is reasonable.

And just recently, there was the first ever ice-cream bash, "I Scream for Ice Cream" held at Central and the highlight of the event was to find the local ice cream flavour that goes best with some of the Singaporean cuisines, including satay, sambal stingray, laksa, chicken biryani and chilli crab. Turns out the winner for Chilli crab is bandung with attap chee (from Scoop Of Art) and grape Calpis sherbet (from Latte e Miele).

Personally, I think ice cream is still best eaten on its own!

QQ rice

Instead of economic rice, fried rice, chicken rice or nasi padang, there is now the option to eat QQ rice!

The rice magician
Crazy for rice~
QQ Rice believes and actively promote on the health benefits of the rice less commonly consumed such as - Brown Rice, Purple Rice, Wheat Germ Brown Rice, Red Rice, Mixed Grain and Wheat Five. Each rice has different properties that can help boost the immune system. They have all the info on each rice in the stall to help you decide what to "boost".

Comparing the health benefits and value of their rice to white rice
The menu
You get to choose 5 fillings along with the type of rice chosen under self customize but certain ingredient requires a top up fee of $0.30. Will try their Healthy Porridge soon! Looks very homelicious! Their drinks and dessert doesn't look very appealing though..

Getting the rice onto the plastic!
The "rice magicians" wear gloves and places the piping hot rice onto the plastic before adding your selected ingredients, (kinda like sushi) before rolling and wrapping it all up. It's just like eating a bowl of rice with the dishes spread out in front of you except theirs is rolled up.

Giant capsule of goodness!
Tadah!
I chosed the mixed grain rice and it tasted pretty interesting. Some grains were crunchy and pretty hard. The rice itself has no taste but the ingredients were quite flavourful which helped me in finishing the rice roll!

For just a snack in the afternoon, you can also get ready packed ones like these!

Snack rolls and breakfast roll!
Chili Ikan Bilis Breakfast Roll ($2.60)
The chili ikan bilis breakfast roll have the similar ingredients to nasi lemak with peanuts, ikan bilis and fishcake! Wasn't too bad but I still prefer them with the fragrant coconut rice and crispy fried chicken wing!

Smoke Duck Snack Roll ($2)
I really like their Smoke duck snack roll! Their smoke duck tasted great and the cole slaw complemented it well. The added crisp of the seaweed makes the snack roll more fragrant as well. =)

Bak Kwa Snack Roll ($2)
The Bak Kwa snack roll was ordinary. Didn't really think it was suitable to be sandwiched in rice.

For the many visits at QQ rice, I have to say the smoked duck and emperor vegetable are my favourite ingredients! Emperor vegetable is this really crunchy chopped vegetable which taste like those canned cabbage! Truly unique!

They have a few other branches too so do check out their FB page for more details!

Noo Cheng Adam Road Prawn Mee

We ended our food trip at Zion Food Centre with Noo Cheng Adam Road Prawn Noodle! I fell in love with their prawn Noodle when Makan Boy first brought me to try it at their Clementi outlet - which they closed about a month ago due to shortage in manpower. 

Stallfront
Highly recommended.. indeed!
Yes that's the boss smiling =D
Big Prawn Noodle ($8)
We decided to go big and ordered the $8 prawn noodle which has 5 king size prawns and the soup is still as heavenly and great. Can't stop drinking it!

The prawns may be bigger but considering how there's not much of a difference in the freshness and texture of the prawn, I think the $5 serving is good enough. Save that $3 can buy another plate of Fried Kway Teow a few stalls away muahahaha!

Xin Fei Fei Wanton Mee

When there is a long queue for a stall, it always stirs interest in me and Makan Boy to check the stall out. Naturally, we will be asking "Wa, is this stall also famous and very good?". Naturally, the next thing we will say is "Try already then will know lor".

That's what food adventure is all about so we bought what many were queuing to buy muahaha.

We observed that their queue didn't stop for at least 1 hour.
There wasn't any accolades or testimonial on their stallfront so what's great about their Wanton mee that got so many people queuing?

They sell satay as well. Mmm..
Wanton Mee ($3)
The moment I tried to stir the noodles, I could instantly tell something's not right. It was too dry for me to mix! When I tried to slurp the noodles it was like trying to slurp fried beehoon. In fact I think fried beehoon also easier to slurp lol.

Ingredients were good
However, the fried dumpling is very crispy and the meat fillings were tasty. Char siew was thick, tender and sweet! Enjoyed it! The soup might be fully loaded with MSG but at least it tasted good with the dumplings. 

If the noodles had been wetter, I'm sure it is very much worth the queue. Somemore, $3 very good value! Maybe this time round, they miss one round of sauce.. No harm having it again on my next visit!

Chong Pang Huat

Putting away the calorie and cholesterol calculator, Makan Boy and I continued indulging ourselves with yummy food at Zion Food Centre!

Chong Pang Huat Chicken Wings and Satay
Just beside the Fried Kway Teow stall, this is the true No.18 stall. Since their signature is their chicken wings, we decided to skip the satay.

Golden and tempting me
Oh me.. bliss.
On its own, the chicken wing is great. Fragrant, hot and very appetizing. With the chili, it is good. With the lime, it is heavenly!

I mean, who can resist barbequed shiny crispy chicken wings that is juicy at the same time? So good I tell you.
