but I prefer just rocking to a rock ‘n’ roll band
cliff richard, high class baby.
today for lunch, 9 of us walked around for a good half an hour before finding a suitable place for lunch.
first it was holland village market.
too hot shouchen chirped
then burger king.
aircon broke down, too stuffy anton chirped.
then crystal jade.
expensive lah, ian chirped.
then crappy hor fun place.
no place leh, melissa chirped.
the village nomads finally found their home. at hot, stuffy, expensive, squeezy marmalade pantry. it was everything we didn't want.
but it was good.
i've heard many wonderful reviews of marmalade pantry, from the main courses to their tantalising desserts. today, i understand why.
i had a very filling chicken pot pie which was a hefty $14++. but it was totally worth every chunky piece of chicken.
the pastry was buttery and light but thick and solid enough to provide the carbo to fill u up. the creamy chicken soup inside was just the perfect texture and the chicken was juicy and sweet with a quick shot of pepper. the veggies were not soggy like i thought it might be.
and suprisingly, the side salad went very well with the dish too.
lunch was the prelude to a scrumptious cold rock ice-cream and the discovery of a new dessert bar at chip bee gardens.
Dolci is a dessert bar by dao paulo, the good people who brought you gastronomia. located just next to gastro, dolci serves up shots of your favourite italian desserts.
just look at that clinical bar of handmade desserts. the kitchen was already closed at that time so we couldn't see the process.
i couldn't resist but try the biscotti verona chocolate, this flaky biscotti pastry dipped in verona chocolate, only $2.50 for a big piece.
and it was sex.
literally melt in your mouth, sliding luxuriously down your throat kind of good. it was just the right combi of bitter choc with sweet sugar pastry.
dean had some choc pastry that was puffed with choc cream and slathered with chocolate sauce.
so innocent but so sinful.
and of course, we couldn't help but be us.
lynda may be pretty but she's damn unglam.
Dolci is located at Chip Bee Gardens, Holland Village. Next to gastronomia.
Marmalade Pantry is located at Holland Village, opp Subway.
seems like all mass commers are part of the marmalade pantry gang.
