U.d.d.e.r.s Ice Cream

Hey guys! How has your Sunday been going so far? The days are passing by so fast don't you think? Had a pretty hectic week but I'm guessing next week will be even worse. With deadlines for project submissions and exams coming, I don't even have time to go on my food adventures. 
But don't worry! I got it covered for this week! It's going to be a quickie! That means I'll be reviewing a place that only serves a specific item they specialise in!

For today, its ICE CREAM! I mean like who doesn't love ice cream?!

This is the outlet I went to! :

Novena Outlet
Udders Novena conveniently located near Novena MRT.
To find us, stand at the Starbucks which is in front of United Square. We are a stone's throw away.

Address: 155 Thomson Road, Singapore 307608
Tel/Fax: 62546629

Milking hours:
Sunday to Thursday: 12 noon to 11pm
Friday, Saturday and eve of PH: 12 noon to 1am


2 Of my friends and I decided to share a sundae that had the flavours we wanted! And the name of the sundae is super adorable!

Om-nom-nom :)) $11+

Yes, $11 for an ice cream sundae is pretty cray. But let me tell you that is not just an ordinary sundae! OMG just look at it. I'm craving for it now and this is bad.

It basically had 3 scoops of ice cream. The flavours were:
- Snickers Mars Honeycomb Vanilla
- Chocolatey Kit Kat
- Cookies & Cream

Its also had like tons of toppings like sliced almonds, crushed oreo cookies, mini maltesers, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce and to top it all of, a cigar waffle stick.


I'm literally dying now. I want it so bad. Argh. Its pretty heavy so I wouldn't recommend you to have this on your own. I shared this with 2 others and found it perfect. :)



Ok so you don't have to pay for service cos you just order it and take a seat.
 If you order something that might take sometime to prepare like  a waffle or a sundae,
 they will pass this to you and when it rings you have to collect it at the counter.









I think the outlet at Thompson Road sells pancakes with like beef and chicken! Might want to go give that a try soon!! But for now I shall do some ratings! The food(sundae/ice cream) gets 4.5 stars!!






Ambiance wise, it was pretty cosy and nice. The walls have like this black board with like colourful random drawings and writings. They also have a water cooler if you need some water to wash down the ice cream. The chairs we were sitting on were too cute!! 






So I will give ambiance 4 stars!

Yea, so I guess that's it from me this week! Hope you guys liked this quickie review of Udders Ice cream. If you're wondering if this place is halal, its not.. Cos they do sell ice cream flavours with alcohol in them. Do stay tuned for my posts every Sunday! I'm trying my best to have a variety of posts here. Hope you guys have a great week ahead! Bye! :-*

The Living Cafe

Are you guys ready for another CAFE review?! 
If you've been following my blog religiously, you should know how I love to venture around when it comes to food!
 I'm never afraid to try something new! Which brings us to today's cafe.

Located at 779 Bukit Timah Road, Singapore 269758 

I was pretty surprised when quite a number of taxis I hailed didn't know how to get there until I got this one taxi driver who was really nice and friendly and said its not that hard to find. Don't you just love it when you get an awesome taxi driver?

Anyways, coming back to my point, my cousin sister was already there, waiting for me with her family. I recommended this cafe to her since she loves eating clean and healthy. This cafe is all about that. Their main focus, is serving raw food. Like none of the ingredients used have been chemically altered, processed and even cooked above 45 degree celsius. 

"We use specially selected and sourced organic ingredients where possible and thoughtfully combine them to achieve optimum flavour for our healthy raw food cafe." from their website, http://www.balancedlivingasia.com/living-cafe-and-deli/

So this is how the place looked like:


Pictures taken from 2nd level :)

At the 2nd level they sell their very own products! Ranging from organic supplements to their cocoa powder! :)

Personally, I was sooooo in love with the whole setting of the place. Like it gave you a cosy and laid back feel! So I will wholeheartedly give Ambience 4.5 stars

Now on to the food! By the time I got there my sister and her family was almost done with their food! :)) 

Luckily, they took some pictures of what they ordered. :)

STARTERS:

Guacamole + Flaxseed chips $6 
MAINS:

Homemade Salmon Burger with Sweet Potato Wedges $18

Salmon Mango Brown Rice Terrine $22
A pot of Hibiscus Tea $5.50

So I had the Salmon Mango Brown Rice Terrine! I had a shock of my life when the waitress placed this monster on my table. Actually I knew I wanted to try their breakfast burrito. But I've never had brown rice before and knowing my love for salmon, I was wondering if I should give it a try. The friendly waitress was telling me how great this dish was so I had to give in! 

This dish is served at a pretty low temperature. Like it was cold when I took a spoonful. There was so many flavours going on and I was actually able to pick them up well. Basically its just brown rice burger with cucumber, avocado, smoked salmon, seaweed  and mango piled up in the middle. It was all so fresh and exquisite! I also took a bite of the salmon burger and was blown away. The level of freshness was unbelievable! 

I only had about 2 and half pieces of my terrain and I was just too full to even think about desserts! But I did snap a few pictures of the desserts they had on display!

I really want to try this!! 

Amazing right? 

So lets just say I'm definitely coming back to this place for the breakfast burrito and their DESSERTS! Really enjoyed the different approach to food. Felt so much more energetic and just had an overall good feeling in me. So Food get 4 stars from me!

Now, for service.. I found them really welcoming and friendly. In terms of efficiency, hmm lets just say we had to call them a few times to clear our table so it wasn't so messy since it was pretty small. However, this place does not charge service! They do have a tip box at the counter though.. So I won't be rating their service this week! :)

For my muslim readers, if you guys are wondering if this place is Halal, its not. HOWEVER, they do not serve any red meats, cow dairy, preservatives, additives and artificial colouring. You can always go for the vegan menu they have. :) 

For more information of this cafe please do visit them at their website listed above. They are opened everyday! So if you want to make reservations or have enquiries you can contact them at: +65 6468 4482





So thats it from me this week! 
I hope you enjoyed reading my review on this awesome cafe!
