Sugalight @ The Rail Mall

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

5 Little Monkeys Cafe @ PICO Creative Centre

When I heard about the 5 Little Monkeys Cafe, my first thought is that it is another hipster cafe serving the usual mircowave heat up food and supplier sourced cakes and pastries. I am glad that my curiosity just like the monkeys, brought me to the cafe located on the eleventh floor of an office building in Lavender. Taking up the whole floor on the eleventh level, the cafe is huge and spacious, with a great unblock city view.

Gourmet Hamburger 3.5/5

The menu at 5 Little Monkeys Cafe is quite extensive, offering items from Western Delights to Peranakan cuisine. We started with the Gourmet Hamburger ($11.80) with fries and salad from the Western Delights menu. It was quite a good burger which was moist and juicy. There are other western fares such as pizzas, sandwiches and wraps on the menu too.

Kueh Pie Tee 3/5

For some small bites, we had the Kueh Pie Tee ($3.8 for 3pc / $6 for 5pc). I felt that the pie tee cups was a bit too thick in textures, not allowing me to appreciate the spicy and sweet mixture of thinly sliced vegetables and prawn.

Sambal Prawn with Petai 4/5

The surprise discovery at 5 Little Monkeys Cafe is their Peranakan dishes. The Sambal Prawn with Petai ($6.50) comes with a good spicy kick, well coated around the sweetness of the crunchy prawns.

Beef Rendang 4.2/5

The scrumptious Beef Rendang ($10,80) was one of my favourite among the dishes I tried. The succulent beef cooked in a rich and aromatic rempah is bursting with the robust flavour with every bite of it.

Chap Chye 4/5

There are many interpretation of the Chap Chye ($5) and I would say the version by Chef Goh is unlike what I have eaten before. The mixed vegetable stew is cooked to a crunchy instead of softness. It also is not as sweet as most chap chye elsewhere.

Fish Maw Soup 3.8/5

I really appreciate the effort of the chef in the Fish Maw Soup ($10.80). He made the effort to stuffed the fish maw with minced chicken meat. The soup was clear with mild sweetness of the cabbage. Chef also added a dash of Chinese wine to bring up the flavour.

Assam Fish Head Curry 4.5/5

The highlight of the night has to be the Assam Fish Head Curry ($35). I could not resist ordering a plate of rice to soak up the delicious curry that has a mix of spiciness, tanginess and creaminess. The huge fish head is good to serve 3 to 4 pax. As only limited quantities is available each day, it is best to pre-order it. Do also allow 20-30 minutes of waiting time.

I personally think 5 Little Monkeys Cafe is a hidden gem serving good Peranakan cuisine, especially the Assam Fish Head Curry. Furthermore, who would expect to find a cafe on the eleventh floor of an office building. I am glad that my curiosity brought me to discover this little gem in Lavender.
