Olio Cafe @ Compass Point

I was at Compass Point Shopping Mall the other day and decided to check out Olio Cafe. I tried the Thai Grilled Beef Salad and Mixed Grilled Lamb.

The salad was fresh and refreshing. The beef was not over cooked and it gave the salad some proteins.

Thai Grilled Beef Salad 4/5

The lamb had a different texture which was nicely cooked and tasted pretty good.

Mixed Grilled Lamb 4/5

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.
