IMG_5746ed

Fans of the famed Durian Fiesta at Goodwood Park Hotel will be thrilled with its return from 4 March 2016 to 17 July 2016 for its thirty third years. Since 1983, the annual affair has delighted many lovers of the king of fruits with the range of creations. This year the durian fiesta features 13 meticulously handcrafted treasures in total, with 7 brand new creations.

IMG_5748ed

The new creations for 2016 using the premium D24 and Mao Shan Wang durian are Durian Black Sea Salt Caramel Cake, Durian Kueh Lapis, Durian Crunchy Chocolate-Hazelnut Tartlet, Mini Durian Ice Cream Bars, Durian Pudding topped with Osmanthus Jelly and Mao Shan Wang Mousse Cake

Made with the premium D24 durian, Hawaiian black sea salt is used in the luscious cake, adding a feather-light savoury touches to the creamy sweetness. The dark dots on the top layer of the Durian Black Sea Salt Caramel Cake ($13 per slice/ $85 whole cake) are salt crystals.

IMG_5752ed

The classic layered cake is given a new lease of life in the Durian Kueh Lapis ($12 per slice/ $62 whole cake). The magnificent cake is formed by layers of pulpy D24 durian mousse and almond sponge, framed the golden multi-layer cake.

IMG_5747ed

The Durian Crunchy Chocolate Hazelnut Tartlet ($43 for 6pc) is filled with a layer of D24 durian pulp and milk chocolate hazelnut mixture, finished with a delicate gold flakes to give it a touch of elegant.

IMG_5759ed

This is my favourite creation of this year durian fiesta, the Mini D24 Durian Ice Cream Bar ($6 per bar / $30 for a box of six assorted flavours). The dainty ice cream popsicles are painstakingly handmade using pure D24 durian pulp. All together there are six different flavours - original, dark chocolate, white chocolate with rainbow sprinkles, milk chocolate, pink chocolate and milk chocolate with almonds.

Sugalight @ The Rail Mall

IMG_2765ed

One of my greatest weaknesses is towards ice cream. Once I started on a pint tub, I can simply go on and finish it in one go. Leaving me feeling sinfulIy guilty. I first get to know Sugalight back in my early days when I started blogging. Sugalight is a guilt-free ice cream, made without sugar and cream. It is some sort of a reunion with Sugalight as it has moved to the west at The Rail Mall, while I also re-located to West Coast.

IMG_2752ed

Sugalight ice cream is made from a special recipe that does not use sugar. It is sweetened with premium natural sweeteners including Xylitol and Stevia. Xylitol has zero net carbs, prevents tooth decay and does not cause dangerous spikes in diabetic blood glucose. As no cream is used in the recipe, it is naturally low in fat and cholesterol. Compared to other premium ice creams which contains around 17% fat and cholesterol, Sugalight ice cream only has 9%. Lastly it contains beneficial prebiotics to help maintain a healthy digestive system.

IMG_2762ed

At Sugalight, it offers an eclectic selection of more than 21 flavours ranging from standard to premium flavours.

Premium - Bailey's Irish Cream, Italian Hazelnut, Jamaican Rum Raisin, Mao Shan Wang Durian, Strawberry Cheesecake, Valrhona Chocolate

Standard - Cappuccino, Caramel, Chocomint, Coconut, Cookie Monster, Madagascan Vanilla, Mango Sorbet, Marvellous Milo, Matcha Green Tea, Purple Yam, Pulut Hitam, Roasted Black Sesame, Rocky Chocolate, Strawberry Bliss, Very Berry Drizzle

Sugalight has also recently created 4 new flavours in Froyo Vanilla, Champedak, Young Coconut Sorbet and Soy French Dark Chocolate.

IMG_2769ed

So how do I personally find Sugalight? Compared to many other ice cream places, the ice cream at Sugalight is lighter in texture and not as sweet. Without the use of cream, it is not as creamy too. Nevertheless, it seems to bring out the distinct flavour of the ingredient more. Weighting on the health benefit, the difference may be insignificant, especially for diabetic patient.

IMG_2770ed

If you are planning any corporate function/event, party or charity event, Sugalight can setup ice cream booth complete with friendly scoopers to cater for your requirement. For more details, please contact Sugalight.

IMG_2776ed

If you find that Sugalight located at The Railway Mall is too far to travel to, worry not as Sugalight has setup an Online Home Delivery Service. Free home delivery for purchase above $60. The home delivery comes in 2 sizes, pints and 100ml cups. The standard pints - $10.50, premium pints - $13 and 100ml cups - $3.00/3.80.

I am those that needs my caffeine intakes everyday. I can drink up to 4 cups of coffee a day. Recently I got a capsule coffee machine, then did I realize how expensive drinking coffee can be, especially purchasing these capsules. Not anymore when I get to know about The Capsule Co. by Kaaas Enterprise, a local company which imported 100% Nespresso compatible capsules. This is a saving around 30% to 40%.

IMG_1219ed

Although it is 100% Nespresso compatible but how is the quality? The Capsule Co. collaborates with Punto Italia to deliver branded coffee which are roasted according to traditional style of Italian coffee roasting. Instead of the commercial quick roast process of 7 mins at very high temperature, Punto Italia Espresso uses the artisan process of lower temperature and slow roasting of 20 mins to develop and bring out the best properties of the premium coffee beans. A true Italian espresso should not taste 1 dimensional, charred and acidic, but instead it should taste strong yet mellow and with a long lasting aftertaste. The Punto Italia Espresso capsules come with 16% more coffee compared to traditional Nespresso capsules. This allows one to enjoy a richer aroma and velvety crema for the ultimate pleasure of a perfect coffee.

ESPRESSO DECAFFEINATO: Punto Italia Espresso Decaffeinato is obtained through a natural decaffeination process using inert gases that guarantee a product without caffeine but with all the flavor of the authentic Italian espresso. A blend of refined coffees with a delicate aroma and the particular sweetness of the South-Central American Arabica, make the blend of Punto Italia Espresso Decaffeinato particularly pleasing. Contains less than 0.1% caffeine. Contains 90% Arabica and 10% Robusta.

The Whole New OpenSnap App by OpenRice

OpenSnapLogo

I have been using the OpenSnap App to post some of food pictures for a while now and I am really quite excited with its latest update. The all new OpenSnap App is cleaner, sexier and more navigation user friendly. On top of that, it has also added some new and useful features. Finding the best restaurants and dishes in Singapore is just a few taps away with the new OpenSnap.

OpenSnap1

Many times we may just want to eat a particular dish or have a craving for a particular food item. Most of the app out there only gives you a listing of the restaurants but not the dish. With the all new OpenSnap, this is so easy now. It allows one to find a restaurant by the rating of a dish. For example, you are craving for a good bowl of bak ku teh. All you need to do is launch the OpenSnap app, go to Singaporean > Bak Kut Teh.

OpenSnap2

The app will show a list of Bak Kut Teh from various restaurants with their different ratings. There is also a Filter Function button for you to further specific the different search criteria. This new feature is really brilliant in my option. Instead of browsing through the long listing of restaurants to find the particular food you want to eat.  We can now go straight to the dish and find which restaurant serves the best of it.

OpenSnap3

In the new OpenSnap app, it has also included a new Offers feature which has attractive dining offers in Singapore. The eclectic listing of 700 dining offers over 450 unique restaurants in Singapore. Users will be spoilt of choices. Imagine the amount of savings too.

OpenSnap4

My personal favourite is the Nearby feature of the new OpenSnap app. How many times have been been to a place and ask ourselves, What to eat around here? What is good around here? Let OpenSnap solves your headache with just a simple tap on the nearby feature and a list of restaurants around the vicinity will be displayed on your smartphone.

OpenSnap5

The new updated OpenSnap has definitely made it more user friendly with its cleaner look and simple navigation. Thoughts have also been given to the new features catering to the modern needs of the society bringing food guide and directory to the palm. Find where to eat in Singapore has gotten easier with OpenSnap.

OpenSnap can be downloaded for free on iTunes and Google Play app store:
