Say Cheezecake

Having a slice of cheesecake is one ultimate enjoyment for me, be it for tea, supper or an after-meal indulge. Let's talk about variety- you would probably have seen enough of oreo, blueberry and new york cheese, but how does durian, pulut hitam or black sesame sounds? Absolutely absurd but alluring!



The range at Say Cheezecake does not just end here, creations like rum & raisin, cookie monster, mango and over 15 other choices is enough to pamper you with. Simply take your pick at the counter, tuck into refreshingly-coloured sofas and wait to be served.


Strawberry Fields ($6.50)

My encounter with lusciously glazed strawberries proved to be a delight. Bearing a pinkish hint brought a mild strawberry flavour, accompanied with fine silken cheese with every bite.


Apple Tumble ($6.50)

Dad's green apple version with a handful of crumble crust was yet another innovative addtion to the cheesy wellness. yum.

Until the rising of another competent establishment, this cheesecake specialisation would currently hold a safe position after The Cheesecake Cafe. Many more flavours are smiling wide at me! (:

Prawn, Baby Spinach & Anchovy in Garlic Sauce ($15.80)

The anchovy broth came unexpected, since my first thought of anchovies were generally ikan billis. No doubt it was tasty but the excessive coarse sediments and sodium content pulled down the bliss. Stingy halved prawns spinach were another letdown as well.

What appeared most wonderful had to be those smooth al dente pasta perfectly cooked with resilience. Only Barilla is used here, assuring premium spaghetti well-absorbed with the soup base.


Bacon and Musroom in Garlic Sauce ($13.80)

Although the pastas took quite a while to arrive, each one is done with quality uncompromised. I can sense sincere efforts in the cooking, really!

Surf 'N' Turf

After our cross-country event, Samantha & i tucked in for a quick lunch. It was after much contemplation (Suntec offered so many choices!) before i came to a conclusion that the "Off the Lip Grilled Salmon" Set Lunch was what i had in mind. She went ala carte with a $4 set upgrade.


Minestrone Soup

Standard tomato broth chunked with vegetables and a drip of basil pesto to lift the fragrance.


Creamy Clam Chowder


Grilled Salmon with Herbs Butter ($14.90)

The serving shook my anticipation a bit, but without nitpicking on those lifeless fries and soggy buttered vegetables, this fish dish fared above expectation. A well-seasoned body seemingly seared before grilling, or the sides wouldn't have been crispy.


Marinara Spaghetti ($17.90)

Calamari ring replaced the mini crayfish lobsters due to a stock shortage. Quite a normal-tasting sauce in a filling portion.


Tea

My main course comes with an after-meal tea, as usual served with milk and sugar. Alright, the food did not fail but i had no intentions to revisit anytime soon.

Bakerzin Tea-Time 2

Mango Mousse Cake

Dad and i returned for more tea-time treats. This time i picked a simple slice featuring light mango mousse and mango jelly between layers of cake sponge. The center is wet and leaves a sweetish tang in the mouth.


Mille-fetuille

Something new on the shelve didn't escape his eyes. This alternate layering of puff pastry and custard cream actually required a knife to slice apart.

Rose Buds Tea for me again.

Pasta de Waraku

50% off promotional vouchers! *(for selected dishes) how can we resist them? This was a planned dinner with my parents to to utilise our set of vouchers on hand.


Salmon, Tofu & Avocado Salad ($12.80)

Our salad to start off with contained little pieces of raw salmon, tofu and avocado. Balsamic dresssing was greasy but tasty.


Squid & Octopus Wafu Spaghetti ($16.80)

I think they did some fine-tuning to their pasta. My wafu squid and octopus featured al dente strands in an appropriate portion. More ingredients please!


Asari Soup-style Spaghetti ($16.80)


Cod Roe Wafu Spaghetti ($12.80)

Mum attempted the soup style pasta with littleneck clams while dad grabbed his usual tarako dish. The service here improved too.

Jerry's BBQ & Grill

Settled in its unpretentious location in Jalan Kayu, this all american restaurant becomes a convenient alternative if you get sick of pratas. Splurging a little more satisfied my western food fetish on an acceptable note.

This place had a typical setup on the inside, small with a few tables laid with red-checked tablecloths. Airplane memorabilias filled the area and i even noticed a food lift to transport dishes from the kitchen below! how interesting.


Deep Fried Mushrooms ($10.95)

A signature at Jerry's. Huge batter-dipped button mushrooms are deep-fried to a piping hot starter served with tartar sauce. Do not expect those extreme flowing of juices, it didn't quite come through.


Grilled Salmon Fish Fillet ($21.95)

Served with fragrant dill rice, steamed vegetables and a spicy thai sauce on the side. The sauce had no link to the style of cuisine but salmon-wise, the dish did pass the mark. Not very cheap though.


Memphis Style Hickory-Smoked Barbeque Pork Ribs ($19.95)

Half-slab with french fries and coleslaw. That long name sure made, the ribs were thoroughly flavoured but just too measly.


Pecan Pie with Icecream ($6.95)

Ending the meal with a pecan pie was sure an ideal thought for me. Their warm round pie comes with vanilla icecream and lots of strawberry sauce- too much to the extent of a sugar overdose. Even the pie itself contained a ton of syrup.

The Yogurt Place

Mango ($2.80), Mixed Berries Yogurt ($3.30)

I must admit it; these things make a decent prebiotic boost admist your shopping trips. There was absolutely no need to grab them off the supermarket shelves when here's a healthier alternative with less sugar and a bliss of mixed berries and walnut toppings.
