new york new york

new york new york at city link mall. lime green sofa seats everywhere! :) at the back are square "cubicle"-like dining spaces and where we sat was a u-shaped table with u-shaped seats of course. COMFY! no one really sits on the round little apple seats :(

the menu. my turkey and cranberry sandwich with foccacia bread. though the innards look messed up and mushed here, it's actually quite nice. the bread was done almost perfect, grilled and crunchy. but the bottom white part of the bread was a little soggy.

note that you should not order drinks unless you are in a spending money mood. because drinks are priced almost equally as the meals themselves. $6.90/$7.90 for a drink alone is ripoff.(that was how much my sandwich cost)

for the vege people, there are diet-friendly meals but those are usually the un-meat and full of vegetables/mushrooms.

but i don't mind going there again to try more stuff on the menu :)

marks and spencers. milk chcolate eclairs to share among everyone in the group, percy pigs for study company, sour cream and onion pretzels for fun.

icecream

6 tubs of icecream and 2 tubs of yoghurt. dairy overdose. yes i have that in my fridge now though the rum raisin and black cherry yoghurt's gone. i never had so much icecream in the freezer before.

haagen daz is by far the best icecream. it's true that the 'mouthfeel' is better than other brands. i figured why. haagen daz icecream is more, shall i say, compact. most icecreams have a soft fluffy texture caused by air bubbles. but this is different, this is smooth. i've also learnt if food chem that the improved 'mouthfeel' can be attributed to the extra fats. fats improve texture. but there's not much difference if you compare. the summer berries and cream is the new flavour on the block and it's yummy, it's like the sweeter version of yoghurt. :) due to miscommunication, strawberry cheesecake flavour is absent. :(

sorbet story is well, sorbet-like and refreshing too bad they don't have the peach one. try the stick version of peach and white tea. sorbet story is good because it has 0g fats and is fruity!

dreyer's icecream is good for the mega sweet tooths. it's sweet and had sinful flavours like "french vanilla fudge cake" and chocolate cake. chocolate cake is my favourite. french vanilla fudge is just cookies and cream plus fudge swirls. no big deal.
