Jellyhearts(:
I have been a fan of Jellyhearts ever since Claire introduced it to us in JC. She bought a few boxes for one of our classmate's bday celebration and i have been hooked ever since!
Jellyhearts are home-made! so you have to pick it up from the seller's house. I used to buy from someone who stayed just opposite KKH, but now for convenience sake, I purchase my jellyhearts from Downtown East!
The seller used to run her business from home somewhere really near bf's house, but Downtown East is pretty convenient too(:
First purchased from her 2-3years ago, I remember then the cream cheese later was much thicker, I bought a few boxes as my 21st bday cake (yes that's how much I love jellyhearts), the cream cheese layer has become significantly thinner unfortunately:/

As you can see, the jelly layer is really thick, which is great if you love jelly i guess.
Look at how thin the cream cheese is now:/
Used to be much thicker
So usually when i'm lazy (which happens alot), I just buy them, but when I have the time, I prefer to make them myself!
Recipe courtesy of Pravin
I like the tweak the recipe alittle, for example I don't add sugar to the digestive biscuit base and I use strawberry instead of raspberry jelly
Tips if you're making your own jellyhearts:
1) Use good quality butter: personally I like President or Lurpak. Creamy butter will make alot of difference
2) don't add sugar to your cookie base
3) baking your cookie base is important!
4) I add more whipped cream/cream than stated in the recipe-makes it more yummy(: but more unhealthy too:/
5) Cutting strawberries into heart shapes is way tedious, I just line the entire layer with sliced strawberries
6) Let each layer set well before going on to the next!
If anyone wants the jellyhearts recipe let me know(:
have you made your own jellyhearts before?

OOTD for Saveur (again) on 7 Feb
Had a sudden craving for duck confit on Friday after gymming
so we decided to head down to Saveur for dinner
In the end i had the beef bourginon instead and boyf had the pork belly!
We both had the same desserts though-salted caramel fondant cake for him and tofu cheesecake for me!
Today they decorated the tofu cheesecake really prettily though!
Pork belly
the beans look kinda scary but boyf said it kinda goes with the pork belly
my beef bourginon!
not alot of pieces
but really tender
would be nice if i had more gravy though
I love saveur's mashed potato
it's super buttery and creamy, i think i said this before haha
the gratin is really tasty, they put like cream and garlic in it so it's pretty yummy..but nth beats the mashed potato(:
see!
my tofu cheesecake decorated so prettily!!

Chock Full Of Beans
Chock Full Of Beans
Decided to visit this cafe after recommendations from Rachael/Miaoqin.
And it's relatively convenient for us as the boyfriend lives just 5 mins drive away
Located at: Blk 4 Changi village road #01-2090, Singapore
It was pretty crowded on a Sunday at about 215pm.
We waited about 15mins for a table
Crazy hot day so i opted for a strawberry lemonade mocktail at SGD7
after stirring it up
really refreshing!
We both decided to have omelettes.
Comes with 3 toppings of your choice: i chose ham/swiss cheese and mushrooms
felt that there wasn't enough ingredients in it, especially the cheese.could barely taste it.
Latte art that this cafe is famous for!
Mad cute(:
Bf was super reluctant to drink it cos that would destroy the art lol
spent about $40 which was okay.
would probably try the big breakfast next time.
Apparently they also have pizzas/sandwiches here! will aim to try that next time(:

Wah Lok at Carlton Hotel
I love good dimsum!
Crystal Jade dimsum sucks-took one bite of their egg tart and spat it out cos it was so gross. The egg part was stuck onto my upper palette due to poor quality margarine used:/ and they don't have scallop cheong fun. So yes, i'm very particular about my dim sum and I only dine at good quality ones.
Favourite dimsum places (that I can think of at the moment):
Taste Paradise
Imperial Treasure at Ion
Royal China at Raffles
Peach Garden
Wah Lok at Carlton hotel
Asia Grand at Odeon Towers
Lei Garden
Proper egg tarts
Custard was just right, not too sweet
pastry was served warm, flaky and buttery
Char siew pao!
kinda like the tim ho wan one
char siew used was lean and not fatty (to those who are particular)
Fish porridge
My absolute must-have liu sha bao!
I found that this one wasn't buttery and tasty enough:/
some beancurd dish that was pretty yummy
Usual Har Gow
(prawn dumplings)
Scallop Cheong Fun
Another dish I love and must-have
some places only have prawn or char siew cheong fun>:/
daddy's fav: glutinous rice in lotus leaf
quite tasty(:
I LOVE glutinous rice with vanilla ice cream
it's such a simple dessert but tastes absolutely heavenly(:
Dad's walnut cream or sth
eew, not a fan of such desserts haha

My favourite base are the cream based ones!
I find the clear ones abit too bland:/

Disgruntled Chef at Dempsey 31 Jan 2014
Fried Salmon Skin
This was light, nice and crispy and went really well with the vinegar served
Yuzu Elxr
40% cocktail that was citrus and refreshing
One of my favourite cocktails
Scallops
This was not too impressive, scallop was tender but sauce was average.
served with slices of crispy bacon
Crayfish Macaroni and Cheese
Again, not too impressive, not much crayfish in this dish
Steak Tartare with truffle hash brown
This has got to be my favourite, the smell of truffle was tantalising!
Steak Tartare was really good!
Bone marrow
Dad loves this. It was not bad. Went well with the bread and pesto sauce at the side
Total bill: about SGD140
