Chinese New Year Gathering 2011

Chinese New Year this year was special to me. I get to know a wonderful group of friends on twitter. I was invited to a Chinese New Year gathering with my foodies and twitter friends at Susan's place.

Like every tradition Chinese New Year dinner, we had Lo Hei (bought from Sakae Sushi). Hope it brings prosperity, luck and good health to everyone.

Susan has prepared a lot of food for the group. For cooked food, we had Fried Beehon, Curry Chicken and Chilli Crab. They were all very yummy! A big thanks to the wonderful cooks in Susan's family for dishing out the wondering dinner.



Besides the cooked food, the lovely host also prepared steamboat for us. We were presented with a great selection of fresh food for the steamboat.

Dinner did not just stop here. We have desserts waiting for us. There were Bobo Cha Cha (prepared by Susan's mum), Chocolate Fondue and Durian Puff (brought from Durian King at Northpoint).

One of our friends, Rae also brought some homemade ice-cream made by her aunt. She brought us 4 different delightful flavours (Durian, Milo, Ginger and Rum & Raisin). My favourite was the Durian. It was creamy and flavouring with the Durian aroma.

If you would like to try out these homemade ice-cream, you can refer to their website HERE (http://www.jessdesserts.sg/).

Lastly a very big THANK YOU to Susan for the great hospitality and to each and everyone that made the gathering possible.

Ice Edge Cafe @ Kovan Road

The stretch of roads around Simon Road and Kovan Road has been slowly and in a way quietly developing into a food street. The Ice Edge Cafe is a cozy cafe located at the quiet stretch of Kovan Road. The cafe offers a wide variety of Gelato Flavors.

I ordered a Root Beer with ice cream which is known as black cow on the menu. For the ice cream flavor, I went for Lychee Martini. I thought I made a bad choice. Should have gone for something more creamy and sweet without alcohol.

The waffle was crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The ice creams were Mao Shan Wang (a type of durian breed), Snickers and Strawberry Cheesecake which were very flavoring too.
