I was out again one afternoon with Melissa and my missus and we headed to this now-very-familiar place in town…
I tried their new matcha mille crepe…
Well, it isn’t exactly new – they had that flavour, the green tea one, before and I did not really fancy it then because I was quite put off by the green tea smell. This time around, it certainly looks nicer with the top layer of green tea powder. Unfortunately, I still do not think it is all that great. They have toned down the green tea flavour so much so that it tastes more or less like their vanilla – which is a whole lot cheaper. My favourite is still their rum and raisin and I love their double chocolate but it is a lot sweeter so I would usually try to avoid ordering that.
This has been around for a while now – their cheese spicy chicken kompia…
…but I have not ordered it before. For one thing, I did not get to hear any rave reviews of it so I have been quite reluctant especially when considering that it is a lot more expensive than the rest.
Well, don’t say that I did not give it a chance, so I tried it that day…
It was all right. The chicken wasn’t spicy, not at all…and I’ve never liked the batter they use to fry their chicken, for instance, when I had it with the nasi lemak there. All in all, it tasted like chicken with cheese in garlic bread – it did not feel like I was eating kompia at all…so very frankly, I think I would just stick to the usual that I find a lot nicer and they are cheaper too!
Melissa wanted some of her favourites – their dry-fried chicken dumplings (jian jiao)…
…and their deep-fried salt & pepper calamari…
…and my missus loved their Chocolate Godzilla a lot…
After that scrumptious tea, we went around town just to look around and I spotted these “sweet” Christmas trees in front of some blocks of shops along one of the streets…
…with lollipops and all…
…but I would think they should have more tinsel and glitter at least as they look kind of bare. Perhaps they look better at night when they switch on all the lights.
After that, we went for a walk in the park at the river front…
…before calling it a day.
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
