Gelato First, Thai Feast Later: My Orchard Road Food Stop

Friday The 13th at Orchard My husband and I were in the Orchard area for The Friends Experience at the Fever Exhibition Hall, and instead of eating first, we decided to enjoy the experience before thinking about food. After the exhibition, the warm evening left us a little thirsty, so we looked for something refreshing nearby. That’s when we spotted Gelatissimo , a small kiosk just outside Shaw House. We grabbed a couple of scoops of gelato and enjoyed them at the al-fresco seating while people-watching along the always lively Orchard Road. After that, we took a leisure walk through ION Orchard before making our way to Far East Plaza, where we ended the evening with a comforting Thai dinner at Nana Original Thai Food Restaurant in the basement. Gelatissimo outside Shaw House First Stop: Gelatissimo Our first food stop was at Gelatissimo, where we decided to share two scoops of gelato as a refreshing treat after the exhibition. We picked a mix of Dragonfruit Sorbet and Raspberry Gelat...

Food Tasting | Paradise Dynasty

If you have read my previous post on Mother's/Father's Day Special at Paradise Dynasty, you will be familiar with Paradise Dynasty's May/June 2014 special and that is the Tribute Basket of Love - Dang Gui 当归 and Shi Quan 十全 Xiao Long Bao for this Mother's/Father's Day! Have you brought your folks to try? Is it nice? To me is awesome! And your folks will love it!

Thank you Paradise Group for the opportunity to be one of their many Brand Ambassadors for 2014. Really grateful for that. So now let me do the 2nd part of this food tasting at Paradise Dynasty, Vivo City. Don't get me wrong that I went for XLB only. There is also a menu of main course appetizer and fried dish. You should have seen it on my Instagram (if you are following me) but I'm gonna show it big and nice here!


Let me show you in a glance what I have chosen from their menu.
  1. La Mian with Poached Marbled Beef in Szechuan Style (La Mian)
  2. Shredded Potatoes with Capsicum (Appetizer)
  3. Sautéed French Bean with Minced Meat (Fried Dish)
La Mian with Poached Marbled Beef in Szechuan Style $13.80
Don't you ever judge by its look and come asking me where is the beef? Please wait up! Don't gan cheong!

Ta-da... As seen in my Instagram. The beef is hiding beneath. Oh man... I love the chewy, tender beef! It has been long since I had beef and I'm so ecstatic about it and finished every piece in the bowl.

 For the soup, it was satisfying as the spiciness coming from the soup is at my comfort level and have not hit the max. As you know Sze Chuan cuisine is known for its spiciness. 
Let me teach you my silly trick. Beef on your soup spoon and chopsticks ready on your hand to pick your noodles up. 一口牛肉，一口面，辣中带有一点甜。Geddit? Rhyme not? But anyway, some craps from me to spice up this post. Haha...

Shredded Potatoes with Capsicum (back) $4.20, Sautéed French Bean with Minced Meat (front) $11.80
Some common dishes that you can find on Chinese dining restaurants. But then I just can't help having every mouthful of french bean and potatoes. They seriously are those must have side dishes/appetizer when you dine in. Both are crunchy and esp when you saute food, it tastes so good (according to my own taste bud). Cos I like sauteed mushrooms. Or should I say I love all different types of mushrooms! You name it, I love it!

Lastly, let me end this post with the Tribute Basket of Love again!
