food for thought

went out with qi & sis today to food for thought, which they have been raving about so much... it's this quaint little eatery near bugis junction... u can't help but notice the array of desserts on display when u walk past the window...


i started of with a pasta... i think it's the special of the week... basil pesto chicken pasta... it's really good... the pasta is done just nice (not overcooked like most cafes)... the pesto sauce though herby, is not overpowering... it comes with a side salad and sundried tomatoes (which my sis luuurvveesss)...


qi had the combination for 1, which is choosing 2 of the 3 (salad, soup or sandwich)... she had the slow roasted pull pork sandwich, which is a house sandwich & a chef's recommendations... u have to try it if u go there! it comes with a homemade bbq sauce, but it's tastes different from normal bbq sauce that u eat... it's sweet & not spicy, very easy on the taste buds...


my sis on the other had had the basil pesto chicken sandwich (yes it's the same chicken as my pasta)... both qi & her opted for the chinese chicken caesar salad, which doesn't (as the name suggests) have any caesar sauce! it comes with soya braised eggs & anchovies... really unique!


on to the desserts... i think the picture paints a thousand words! it's chocolate malteser cake... the cake is soft & layered with bananas... there's not a better combination than chocolate & banana! heard from my sis that they always have it there, so be sure to try it!


i had the durian mousse cake... it's not bad... to me, all durian cakes taste almost the same... one thing good about this cake is that the durian is properly infused into the mousse, so u dun cake durian chunks, which i think would really ruin the smoothness of the cake...


my sis had the weekly specials... peach cobbler... as u can see it comes with a huge scoop of ice cream... the vanilla ice cream is a bit too milky for my taste... i think the crust is nice, but there was so little of it! my sis didn't really like it coz it was all fruits, instead of having some pastry in it...

seriously u should go down & try it if u haven't! it's a cafe with a local twist, so even ur grandmas will probably enjoy it haha...

after lunch, while walking back to the mrt station, we noticed this pet shop & guess what? i found what i was looking for all the while (after seeing chmurka)... a hamster leash!


guess who i tried it on? fatter mummy! but she didn't really like it... the first time i tried to put it on her, she actually jumped off the top of her cage! then later with my sis's help (probably about 10 tries later) we managed to get it on...


not very successful though... she kept trying to get it off & biting the leash haha!
