Tom's Palette @ Shaw Leisure Gallery

After our restaurant week's lunch at Gunther's French Modern Cuisine, Nicole, Kimberley and me took a leisure stroll over to Tom's Palette at Shaw Leisure Gallery to have some ice cream. Kimberley is rather excited because she has always wanted to check out this place. I am happy that I brought them to Tom's Palette and I also can't wait to try the Salted Egg Yolk ice cream again since my last visit back in July 2012.

We went for a cup each with 2 flavours. This is the small size cup and I realized the price has increased by 20 cents since my last visit. A small size cup costs $3.20 now while the medium is $4.20 and large at $5.20. Do check with them or visit their website for the 10% discount given to selected tertiary students, you just need to flash your student card at the point of payment.

Salted Egg Yolk and Milk 4/5

All of us ordered the Salted Egg Yolk and another flavour of our liking. The salted egg yolk ice cream was still as good, loving that grainy texture that comes along with the familiar salt egg yolk taste. Besides the salted egg yolk flavour, I had the Milk flavour which I didn't get to try in my previous visit. The Milk flavour was pretty normal but I enjoyed the chocolate chunks and nuts to give the ice cream an enjoyable bites to it.

Salted Egg Yolk and Candy Crush

There are many innovative flavours at Tom's Palette and each month it will also features an unique flavours. One of the unique flavor. Nicole tried was the Candy Crush flavour. It is actually lemon sorbet ice cream with crushed candies. A unique light and refreshing with crushed candies bites.

Azur @ Crowne Plaza Changi Airport

My previous visit to Azur was a couple of years ago for a corporate lunch when Crowne Plaza Changi Airport was newly built. I remembered the buffet spread was quite extensive showcasing some of the best local favourites. I am back at the Azur at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport to try out their new Weekend Changi Brunch menu. Azur has brought together the best of the East and West in a refreshed menu of the popular Weekend Changi Brunch featuring local and international cuisines.

German Sausages with Juniper Berry Sauerkraut and Beef Jus 4.5/5

One of the memorable items I tried at the brunch buffet is the German Sausages with Juniper Berry Sauerkraut and Beef Jus. The highlight for me is the sauerkraut, this is a must have combination for eating sausages. Some restaurants only served sausages with mustard. I am delight that Azur took the effort to prepare the juniper berry sauerkraut.

Baked Mussels with Aioli Herb 4.2/5

You will have to try the Baked Mussels with Aioli Herb. They were big and juicy, baked with the flavoursome aioli herb.

Pan Seared Fish Fillet with Yuzu Orange Sauce 3/5

The Pan Seared Fish Fillet was cooked in a delectable Yuzu Orange Sauce. The moist fish was further lifted and enhanced by the tangy sauce.

Roasted Chicken with Homemade Chilli Sauce 3/5

The Roasted Chicken with Homemade Chilli Sauce was pretty good, succulent and flavourful. Oh the chilli sauce was not spicy at all so need not worry if you can't take spicy.

Marinated Philippines Clams with White Wine and Shallots 4/5

I have always like Philippines Clams because they are quite sweet. Love the version by Azur marinated with white wine and shallots which was very addictive.

Rojak 4/5

For a taste of the local hawker favourites, one can Do-It-Yourself at the Rojak counter adding in the eclectic mix of ingredients and mixed it up with the pungent shrimp paste and topped with grounded peanuts.

Prawn Noodles 3/5

The installment of the of Weekend Changi Brunch also features the Prawn Noodles from the Local Delight Noodles Bar. A good change from the usual Laksa but I still thought the latter is still a better representation of the local favourite.

Cold Dishes

I love the array of Asian and Western food at Azur Weekend Changi Brunch but I don't have a huge stomach for all the delectable food. I went for 3 rounds only while the others were shared with my dining partners. Started with some cold dishes and my favourite on the plate was the oysters and crab.

Cooked Food

From the cooked food selections, my favourite went to the German sausages, Baked Mussels and Steak.

Dessert

Definitely we need to wrap up the sumptuous lunch with a round of sweetness from the dessert section.

If you like the local version of dessert, you can try creating your own icy version of Ice Kachang and pile it with your favourite condiments, syrups and carnation milk for a decadent sweet treat.
