Instagram @Week Fourteen

What a long weekend which has come and gone by in a blink of an eye! Hope Week 14 went great for you as well. Here's a recap of what Week 14 looked like for me,

Monday: It has been bucketing with rain for weeks and today was no exception. Such cooling weather. But, it was crazy enough to topple an approx. 50g Jambu plant/tree down and destroyed the fruits it was bearing.

Tuesday: 'The Wedding Letters'  is now available in stores and am so grateful that Mr. L got it for me. Time to be inspired by Jason F. Wright once again.

Wednesday: I declare Wednesdays - Indulgence Day! Who can resist a chocolate cake, what's more, a. double. chocolate. layer cake Mom and I baked?

Thursday: My favorite scene in the movie, 'The Vow' - Paige: "I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, and to have the patience that love demands. To speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they’re not. To agree to disagree on red velvet cake, and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home." Leo: "I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love. I vow to love you, and no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find a way back to each other."

Friday: Does having desserts or ice cream in particular cheer you up when you are feeling down as well? They work for me and ice cream with waffles I had at Udders.

Saturday: Having family and friends over for Easter tea is a blessing. We couldn't be more full with Mom's wonderful Easter tea ring, scones and hot cross buns.

Sunday: Drove to the airport to welcome L. back to humid Singapore. So glad to have her back!

Happy Easter everyone!

God Bless.

A Late Monday Afternoon Lunch: Ice Edge Cafe.

Nestled at a quaint area in the midst of private estates and at the back of condominiums in Kovan, this unpretentious, cosy little cafe is perfect in serving residents around the district. However, it is still pretty much accessible with just a 5-minutes walk from Kovan MRT and a public car park beside the cafe. Ice Edge Cafe is also a great eatery to have a wonderful and relaxing lunch/dinner with your family and friends.

Opened for almost three years, this cafe originally started as a Gelato shop before expanding their menu with the introduction of both Italian and Western cuisines. Price wise, a little on the high side but it boils down to food and service which has made this cafe, a must try! They are currently having a 1-for-1 weekday promotion which we think is really worth it.

With everything on their menu looking so appetizing, we were in a minor dilemma on which we should pick. Our final choices, Calamari Fritti, Buffallo Wings, Beer Battered Fish n' Chips, and Tom Yum Seafood Linguine.

We were a little disappointed that salads and pizzas were not available but we were recommended to Calamari Fritti which I must say was a good choice.

Fresh rings of squid with the option of either Chef's Tomato Sauce or Tom Yum Sauce but the waitress was nice enough to let us have both to try. The Tom Yum sauce was a hit. Sweet, sourish and salty yet not too spicy, this sauce leaves your taste buds yearning for more. The texture of the squids were also tender and not rubbery, coated with their own mixed batter which was done to crisp perfection.

A chicken lover like me, should with no doubt try the well marinated Buffalo Wings. Marinated with their own secret spicy herbs sauce, it's no wonder those wings taste extremely good!

The pastas are also worth trying, and we recommend - Tom Yum Seafood Linguine with fresh prawn, mussel & calamari in Chef’s Special Tom Yam sauce. There's something unique about their Tom Yam sauce which opens your appetite. Thumbs up for Tom Yum Seafood Linguine! 

The Beer Battered Fish n' Chips on the other hand was not the best we had. We prefer the batter to be thinner like those we had in Aussie? Oh we must be spoiled for having the best.

We chanced upon the time to have a pleasant chat with Chef Peter Neo, telling him how excellent the Tom Yum sauce was. Through our conversation, we could tell that he loves experimenting and inventing new recipes/dishes with a unique, one-of-kind touch to each.

Though we had no more room left for desserts, it was nice of Chef Peter  to have introduced the many Gelato flavors that the cafe offers to us while we picked out those we wanted to try a spoon. Some of which were interesting ones like, Salted Egg and Bak Kwa. They also serve two of my favorite alcoholic ice creams - Lychee Martini and Baileys.

Recommended by the Chef himself, we shall try Mao Shan Wang and their mini Lava Cake (Dark Knight) the next time around. Till then, what a hearty lunch we had!
