Ci Gusta!

After lunch, my friend suddenly feel something missing. She craved for desserts and recommended me here. An Italian concept gelato shop which is healthier than normal ice-cream. They have 2 shops in Singapore now, one at Lot 1, another at Anchorpoint, Alexandra Road.

I was 1st attracted by the waffles but we were too full for that. So only ice-cream this time. You can found quite a few flavours they have, I asked the staff which one is the recommended one. He said:"The one with bigger container is all the popular item." The good things here is you can mix 2 flavours of gelato at single price. We chose mint chocolate chip and toasted almond, both also not from the bigger container. The gelato was refreshing and good. Another choice of dessert if you are at Lot One Shopper Mall.

MOF@Izakaya

I seldom being to CCK area so not sure what is nice there. I met a friend to get my backpack from her and we had dinner together at MOF. I had been to the one at Bugis Junction many years ago.

Left: Choice A-Seafood Moyashi Itame($7.80++). Right: Choice B - Unagi Toji($14.80++), we took the set which you can choose anything from choice A + B and make it a set. it comes with rice, pickles and a cup of tea(very tiny cute tea). With that you can top up with any desserts under $6.80 or below at $5. The set of food tasted average, the bean sprout a bit raw and taste can be improved. Unagi is standard.

Macho IMO($5++) - with the set we order, original is $6.80. I like the sweet potato desserts. It is very good but too sweet for me. With the ice-cream and red bean paste, it is even sweeter. Good for sharing, too heavy to have it alone for me.

Paradise Dynasty 2

I had been to the one at ION Orchard but didn't know they actually opened another at CCK area. Is this the 2nd outlet that why it is named as Paradise Dynasty 2? I was here for tea break as we just wanted to find a place sit down and had a chat. I happened to feel a bit hungry so decided to come here. If you been to the one at ION, you should know the signature is the colorful xiao long bao. They serve the same at the dynasty 2 but only 4 flavors. The original, cheese, crab roe and foes gras. I had tried this before so not a fan of this 4 types flavor. I prefer the truffle one.

I got myself vegetables pork dumplings and a XiChuan sour and spicy soup. I like the soup but it is quite pricy for a bowl of soup costing me $5+ and it is only for 1 person. We ordered the desserts and that is really nice. We started to think how it actually made, soft and fluffy.
