[[Of recent dessert indulgence]]

With little time to bake, I've been getting my sweet tooth fix at Canele. I've tried about every cake at Canele. =) heh.

After our lunches, we went to Canele to "da bao" desserts back for the family- got a New York Cheesecake ( Really like this one coz it isnt too heavy), the Le Royal (I still think it's among the best of what they have) and the almond profiterole (so-so. Not a big fan of cream or profiteroles.)

One day, I should get my lazy ass to walk to the end of Mohammad Sultan Rd to try out The Patisserie.

[[Of a simple dinner]]

My family and I headed to eat at Kam Boat at Shaw Lido. We are really used to the food there and we get warm and friendly service so it's a good place for a simple meal.

We ordered the drunken live prawns( really like it coz the prawns were fresh and I like the taste of the hua xing jiu and hong zhao, red dates), the 3 mushrooms and toufu in a claypot (so-so), sweet and sour pork(for my sis), "gu lei choi", and "la mei fan", and ended off with bird nest in almond cream (Hearts).

Hmm, I should really pick up chinese cooking someday.
