chinese food and cows met up with qi at westmall after her work. it'll probably be one of the rare times meeting up in the west, as her attachment will be ending tomorrow. it's amazing that she has been working in bukit batok for the past three months and has yet patronise any restaurants in westmall. for that very reason, sis and i decided to bring her to mayim to try their wonderful lamian.  it was about six in the evening when we got there, so it wasn't very crowded. this worked out for qi as she was starving and we didn't have to wait very long for our food to be served.  qi's jasmine tea with rose buds and sis's pu er tea with chrysanthemum. they felt that the teas were bitter, but attributed the fact to soaking the teas too long.  qi's spiced and sour minced meat lamian. most noodles come in either dry or soup versions. qi chose the dry one. she like the sauce and how the pork went with the noodles.   sis's roasted duck lamian (top) and my honey bbq pork lamian (bottom). she didn't like the soup at all, whereas i loved it. however, i believe that roasted meats should be eaten dry because the soup ruins the glaze of the meats. the sad thing is that they don't serve soup with the noodles if you order it dry and i missed their soup a lot, so it was a no brainer for me.  qi and sis shared the fried chicken in chef's special sweet sauce. i used to love this dish until they had this promotion a few months back which entitled you this as a free dish when you spent a certain amount. my dad kept forcing me to finish the dish because chicken is my staple food. after a couple of times, i was so sick of it that until now, it just doesn't stimulate my digestive juices  red bean paste pancake with banana. it's yummy but was slightly overcooked this time. the red bean paste and banana are sweet and it's only $3.50! after dinner, we had dessert at udders! it's a singapore born and bred company and they create high quality ice creams. what's unique about them is that they have many local as well as liquor flavoured ice creams such as mao san wang (type of durians) and orange choc bitters. natural ingredients in homemade ice creams, what more can you ask for?  their ice creams are separated into three categories and prices. classic at $3.20/scoop, premium at $3.90/scoop and connoisseur at $5.30/scoop.  the concept of the place is just so cute! all their tables have funny illustrations with cows, such as dogs mistaking udders for sausages and in the picture above, an earthworm falling in love with the udders. we got strawberry fields, bailey's & bourbon and kopi-c estacy. all were rich and original, definitely worth a try. other than westmall, udders has outlets at lorong kilat and novena. for more information, check out their website. |
