Healthier desserts for the sweet tooth!
Craving for ice-cream? Ever tried frozen yogurt? If you do like frozen yogurt, try the one from Yigloo! Its located at Vivo City! So far its the best I have ever tried in terms of flavour (they always have different flavours like green tea, cookies and cream, mixed berries, chocolate, strawberry cheesecake, natural and list goes on and on..) The "surprise" is that always when I go there, there would be different/ new flavours! And the best thing? Toppings (FOC) as much as you want, from fruit to nuts to cereals to chocolate chips! There's about 20 different types of toppings so you can spam as much as you want! :D
Avoiding ice cream because its high contents of fat and sugar? Or dislike yogurt due to its tartness? Try this! Tested and proven, well liked by people who does not like yogurt (few of my friends)!
Mine..? I like to load it with strawberries and seeds like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds (remember its good for health as mentioned in the previous post? hee), walnuts, some random chocolate chips my friend "dumped" into the giant tub of frozen yogurt that is shared among me and my other two friends!
Satisfied faces! (: By the way, always when I go to Vivo City, I wouldn't miss out this full-of-goodness frozen yogurt shop! (: LOVED!

The rumbling stomach!
My second food review! Japanese cuisine!
Last week, to celebrate my friends' birthday, me and my fellow friends hopped into a Japanese Restaurant, Itacho Sushi at Ion. Many recommended this place for sushi, so how did they fair?
Just getting ready for food to be served!
Salmon rolls. Definitely a must for people who loves sashimi! But it was rather acceptable for someone who doesn't fancy sashimi!
Prawn tempura hand roll! I love the generous servings of prawns (:
Salmon sushi!
Crab meat steamed egg (chawanmushi). Silky and flavourful!
The so-normal crab meat salad (surimi crab stick and not crab meat) ):
Soba, just the right taste! (:
Salmon mayo wrapped in beancurd skin. Good flavours! (:
Food: 4/5
Service: 2/5
Ambience: 4/5
Money-worth: 3/5
Reviews: I was totally not satisfied with the service, miss orders and asking to wait too frequently. There wasn't any one at the front desk to bring the customers into the restaurant, so that's a minus for this restaurant. However, the ingredients were rather fresh, nice and cozy place to dine at.

Eye for goodies @ Bakerzin!
How the appearance of the food we eat influence our choices and appetite? Garnishes, plating? Yes, they sure influence your what you want and what you choose!
As the picture suggest, Visual Memories; Bakerzin, a place where my mum loves to visit! (and I love it too!) Eve and I went to Bakerzin for some afternoon sweet snack!
Pictures taken from the menu, just see how pictures on the menu can influence our thought of choosing what we're going to eat!
& more goodies from Bakerzin!
My pick of the day! Warm chocolate cake with ice cream! (who doesn't love chocolate?) I was pretty impressed with the appearance when it arrived on my table - SATISFACTION! W-H-Y?
Comparing it the the photo on the menu, it's like 99% similar! Which I feel that not all restaurants are like that because the pictures on the menu always looked so nice and when it comes to your table you go "???" it didn't look like this in the menu! Its like deceiving the customers! :x
Garnishes can come in a few forms, from plating using sauces to drizzle over the plate, using fruits, mint leaves (for desserts) and cut fruits, it enhances the overall presentation and gives it more colour to the dish.
On a whole I like the warm-and-cold combination and the sweetness is just right, and for those who have not tried this famous dessert from Bakerzin, you ought to try it! There's even a piece of candied orange (or something like that) at the bottom of the chocolate cake!
Eve got herself waffles with ice cream, and isn't the presentation special too? They got the waffles cut and "elevated" the whole look of it!
