Island Creamery

After dinner, we headed to this ice-cream place for desserts as I saw the comments were quite good.
Each of us ordered our dessert. Compare to other local homemade ice-cream chains, Island Creamery has more local flavor. 


 Friend A had a single scoop of the Nutella ice-cream ($3.20). Nutella is a success, tasted good. 


Friend B got banana split ($7.50). I suppose he can choose 3 type of ice cream normally but strangely they din ask him to choose. So he got the by default flavors, cookies and cream, all berries and chocolate.  All tasted ok except cookies and cream. May be I dun like the ice cream tasted to be a bit oily, therefore I dun really like cookies and cream.



I ordered ice-cream with waffle ($5.80), with the soursop flavour. I saw some red stuff in the ice-cream and the staff told me they added in pomegranate seed. Ice cream is nice but forget about the waffle.  The waffle is not done freshly and it was just toasted up in toaster. The waffle is not soft and not crispy, may be not my liking. One special is, they gave you kaya to go with it.

La Petite Cuisine

I found this restaurant while finding a better venue for me and my friend, one north and one west so I was thinking Botanical Garden station will be good for both of us. So I targeted the restaurant there.

A blur photo for the La Letite Cuisine taken at night. Sorry for the quality. They have another branch at Upper Thomson Road. There isn't any service charges and GST, so what you see is what you pay for.


This is the menu for all the starter, entrees and main course. Back side is the desserts and drink which I forgot to take a picture.

While waiting for me, my friend ordered a 4 kind of French Cheese with Crackers($13), it comes with 4 types of cheese(Roblecuon,Polybek, Camoyek, Goat Milk) biscuits and bun. I tried hard to get the staff to tell me what is the cheese and even wrote on the paper but I failed to recognize the handwriting and they said pronunciation is hard for French. I feel not good to disturb them long so I just walked away with what I have. I tried googled the French Cheese but doesn't really match from what I got. May be you can figure out what is the cheese from the picture below.


This came in complimentary, the bun tasted quite nice while served warm.


Filet of chicken w/cepes and Rice($13) - tasted the chicken tender and I like the sauce. looks healthy.


Choucroute Alsacienne(a dish with pork cutlet/sausage/ham/pork belly and fremented cabbage)($19.50) - the cutlet and sausage is nice but I can't really appreciate the rest. It is a huge portion which I think it can be shared by two if you are not a big eater.


Confit de canard with gratin potatoes($17) - I feel I made the correct choice to go with duck, I dun usually take duck, but my impression like French food always have this cuisines on the menu. For last French Cuisine experience, I feel the confit tasted quite good, so I ordered this time. Tasted quite different from what I had previously but this has its own great taste. I like it and the gratin potatoes tasted great too.


The chef behind, he seems come out one a while to check with the customer on how the food is. So I grabbed him for a photo.
