It's not quite epicurean, but.. @ 2:03 AM

I have to mention what beautiful weather it was on Sunday (the 5th). So to take advantage of it, Mum brought me out. However, she wouldn't tell me where we were going till we were in the cab.

Well I found out that she was bringing me to one of my favourite places in Singapore..Cold Storage.

I guess those who know me well know how much of a sweet tooth I have. I've been starting to get really addicted to ice-cream these few months, and really, I don't think its a girl thing. Or anything to do with binge eating. I'm just making up for all the chocolate I've been keeping myself away from. And it goes without saying that I like cakes, brownies, chocolate, drinks, spaghetti, pizza, basically any type of food that isn't fatty/or requires you to suck marrow out of it. So Cold Storage meant the ultimate Gestapo of food and drink products; it's like the make-up counters at BHG Bugis Junction, the counters there carry the FUULLLL range of products that you don't see at your neighbourhood Watsons or something.

Through some aisles of CS, I abandoned my sense of discipline and went flying past all the products, because really, CS had that lovely Christmas spirit in the air, and there were tons and tons of every kind of chocolate imaginable lining the shelves = me going high. Oh, and the very entrance of KAP brought back great memories of the Adam Khoo Stadium Camp in March last year. I remembered where everyone used to sit on the steps. I know Olivia was sitting on the bottom step.


I actually drank coffee at the Mac there.
And here are the wonderful things we bought:
Have you seen these at neighbourhood supermarkets? And it's Ghirardelli! *I didn't even know they made brownie mixes.
I will always love this. In whatever form it comes, chocolate thins or individually wrapped.

The last time I ate this was I guess, 2/3 years ago? It was just one piece, and since then I've been trying to get it. :D The raspberry puree is unbelievable.

Mint jelly and mango chutney - my favourites. I wonder if the jelly is the same used at Swensens'.
The cordial (summer berries) is nice too.. Mum and I were practically hacking the neck of the bottle to open the seal, I remember. It's fine with cold water, but much better with icecream soda. There're elderflower, lemon-lime, and ginger-lime-lemongrass flavours as well.
This icecream kinda forces you to taste it like wine.
1st taste you get: Some sort of Indian sweetmeat.
2nd taste : vanilla
3rd taste/aftertaste : Ginger.
