Gelatissimo; It's Italian's Name...

Gelatissimo, the real taste of Italia... They're specializing in Gelato or what is easily to be known as ice-cream. Normally, Gelato is neither too sweet or too milky and they're emphasizing on using natural ingredients for the ice.

After a satisfying meal, Attila and I have decided to have the Gelato as our desserts. I've decided to try the Macadamia Nuts while my boyfriend has chosen the Pistachio Nuts. I'm not good in differentiating a good or bad ice but I'm happy with the natural taste of the nuts inside and the ice is not too sweet either.

I like both Gelato or Ice-Cream as long as it's not too sweet. Gelatissimo doesn't impress me much but the Gelato is somehow a good idea of an after-meal dessert.

An American Legacy of Great Food; Where? Chicago Rib House

Time to write about the food that I've had before my trip to Regensburg...

Attila and I are hunger for some western food while we're shopping in Gurney Plaza and we've decided to give it a first try at the Chicago Rib House. Without disappointment, my boyfriend is happy to find pork ribs in their menu. We've ordered a St. Louis Pork Ribs with the Grilled Shrimps as sharing. The Pork Ribs is garnished with the sweet and sour sauce on top. It's very appetizing and the taste is just nice with the balanced sweetness and sourness. Besides, the Pork Ribs is so succulent, tender and juicy that the meat will jult melt in my mouth. We find it very delicious that we start to regret to order the platter type with Shrimps together. I barely eat the Shrimps because they're not fresh and the meat is too soft.

Additionally, I've ordered a Ceasar Salad with the Grilled Chicken Meat. We both like the dish as well except that I think the Chicken Meat is quite tasteless and they're not tender enough.

If you ask me for opinions of places for Pork Ribs, I'll not hesistate to recommend Chicago Rib House as a choice.

Soya King or King Soya?

皇豆Soya King is located at the lower ground of Queensbay Mall. 'Refreshing. healthy lifestyle', this is what they're holding on to produce the freshly made Soy Bean Milk豆奶 and Taufu Fah豆腐花.

I've chosen to try their Taufu Fah or what is easily to be known to us as bean curd. Taufu Fah is the solidified soy milk that comes in the soft, smooth yet firm texture. I've asked for the Taufu Fah with the Ginger Brown Sugar. The ginger has in fact neutralized the sweetness while still maintaining the aroma of the brown sugar. I like the idea of bringing ginger into the brown sugar that has balanced up the taste in my mouth; neither too sweet nor too dilute.
I'm not the expert of Taufu Fah or Soy Bean Milk but I do like the soy bean's taste and smell that I've had here. May have been more experts out there and I'm waiting for your suggestions ;)

Imported Soy Beans & Freshly Made at Qbean

Freshly made from soy beans at Qbean, this is where people queue up daily for their healthy soy products. Qbean is located at the North zone of Queensbay Mall and they're specialized in soy products that range from soy milk, ice cream till pancake. It has been operating since June 2010 and their customers are growing more each day...

'Love It Fresh!', the original healthy soy milk is made daily here to ensure that each customers enjoy the most original taste of the soy beans without coloring, flavouring and preservatives. I've decided to try out their Natural Soy Ice Cream. Although this is my first experience but I do love the thick soy beans' taste in the ice cream. It tastes a little bit weird but each spoon is very refreshing and not as sweet as any ordinary ice cream.

I've indeed enjoy the nice aroma of the soy beans in the air whenever I pass by Qbean. I guess you'll enjoy the healthy and original soy products that are served here, as how I've...

Here You Smell the Durian... At Balik Pulau!

June is our monthly eating trip to Durian orchard. Here we're heading to Balik Pulau, lead by CK.

Can you differentiate the species of each Durian? We've 'Gourd'葫芦, 'Red Prawn'红虾 and 'Lin Feng Jiao'林凤娇; these are the special names of each Durian species. 葫芦 and 红虾 are more towards sweetness while 林凤娇 is having a little bitterness at the end of tongue. For myself personally, I prefer sweet Durian 葫芦 because the meat is more compact. Anyway, some people may prefer 林凤娇 for its bitterness and a little of 'alcoholic' taste?!!

A special drink in this Durian orchard is the Nutmeg Juice. It's a great pleasure to enjoy the cold nutmeg drink while eating the 'heaty' Durian. The nutmeg juice here is not so 'pure' as it has been mixed with plenty of sour plum. Anyway, for someone alike me whom dislike the strong nutmeg's aroma, you'll enjoy the taste. Besides, the Rambutan红毛丹 here is FOC (Free of Charge). What you need is only the skill of plucking by yourself...

I'm not so fancy about Durian but my boyfriend is. It's funny to see him laze around after a satisfying Durian's lunch...
