Heartlander Macaroonsssss

Macaroons is a cross between cookies and confectionary, and originated from Italy.

According to legend, the macaroon was invented in an Italian monastery in 1792. Later, two Carmelite nuns, hiding in the town of Nancy during the French Revolution, baked and sold macaroons to cover their expenses. They became known as the "Macaroon Sisters." The cookie recipe was supposedly passed on to the Jewish community in France, who subsequently made it a staple of Passover baking. - Wikipedia

Enough of stories about macaroons! Bought a box of Macaroons from a shop in Toa Payoh ( near the station) ! A heartlander shop selling macaroons?! yes..its true and its good! The exterior is sugar coated, the Middle layer is chewy, and the butter cream is not too sweet, perfect! However, not all 5 flavours are fantastic.

Strawberry, Orange, Chocolate, Almond, Kiwi Flavoured?

MyFavourite to least Fav---> Chocolate, Almond, Strawberry, Orange, Kiwi---->

One-bite! and half is gone! Chocolate Best! more macaroonsssssss...

gourmet chocolate

Gourmet Dark Chocolates from Royal Plaza on Scotts
2 pieces chomped off by me before i can even take a photo of it! Its Dark Chocolate with nuts and mandarin orange... taste-wise, its very unique, but it would be better if the dark chocolate is perhaps 85%? i guess this is around 70% dark. Can you see the gold glitterings in the middle of the chocolate bar??? yeah... that's gold dust! so basically you are paying extra just for the aesthetic value of the chocolate... but still its worth the money...bcos its only $8.55 incl 7% GST! more ex than normal cadbury, but definitely worth trying!

Little India - Mustafa

The smell was over-whelming! Fusion of the curry, spices, incense and humpz. But it was a fruitful trip! First Stop - Lil Ind'

Their Kuehs - Anyone knows if Indian "Kuehs" uses Goat's milk or Coconut milk?

First Sight of Mustafa!

** something irrelevant** The Boss trains at Khatib gym!

Damage at Mustafa
1. Chilli Beans (unlike the usual baked beans in tomato)
2. Palak Paneer (Spinach with Indian Cottage Cheese, to be dipped with Naan, Chapati or Papadoms)
3. Papadoms! (Heat and Eat pack)

4. and other miscellanous items - cookies, biscuits, pop tarts that are not indi! not in pic!

Garlic Naan @ some shop - Pakistani and North Indian Tandoori?

The Tandoori Chicken - Its very juicy and sprinkled with herb and spices, with peppermint dips!
