And so, F1 weekend was extremely crowded with tourists from all over and we decided to hang out at the fringe of the town area. This time round, we had to satisfy my ridiculous craving for Naan, it's starting to get on my nerves haha cos I can't seem to satisfy that particular craving this month.
Initially, we wanted to go Zam Zam but didn't see any Naan on their menu, so we walked a little further down and there's Al-Tasneem with Naan! We were too hungry to think much of it so up we went, there was a 2nd floor seating with aircon though not much, but still it was better than nothing.
There were 5 of us so we could order a little bit more to share yay! :)
Teh Tarik ($1.20) - I personally love my Teh Tarik not too sweet and this was good!
L ordered tandoori chicken with Naan set ($6.50), haha she was influenced by my ridiculous craving as well :p
Here's my Butter Chicken with Naan set ($7.50). The butter chicken was creamy but not overpowering, I love how the spicyness comes later after you have tasted the flavour of the food. Love this!
This was shared among us, the mutton murtabak ($5) was an unusually big portion, very value for money!
The mutton bone soup ($6) was kinda lacking in flavour, me thinks it's a waste of calories.
The awesome company who gave in to my Naan craving :)
That's J from the left, then E, then IR and then L on the right. I am obviously behind the camera lol.
So after having an awesome dinner, we decided to end the night with awesome desserts too. Since it was really an almost impossible task to find a parking lot around this area, I suggested going to Maison Ikkoku (walking distance away) after reading several reviews on it, not to mention it's on my never ending cafe list for the longest time lol.
They have this special 2nd Anniversary All Benedict Menu which looks really interesting, I'm a Benedict person, OF COURSE it will look interesting to me!
In whichever cafe that we go to, L ALWAYS orders Cafe Mocha ($7), I swear she's going to conquer every Cafe Mocha available in Singapore someday lol! On a not so serious note, this cafe mocha is a little expensive but given the area and the quality, it's still passable. I'm not really a coffee person, so the caffeine taste was a little too strong for me. L doesn't really like it either.
My usual Lemon Chamomile Tea ($5), fragrant and smooth, definitely my all time favourite type of tea.
The cute swan latte art on this Flat White ($5) is quite impressive, well at least to me. IR and E ordered this and commented that it's smooth but lacks the WOW factor.
J had her English Breakfast Tea ($5).
S'more Pie ($7) is good for sharing. Let me explain. Unless you are a self confessed dark chocolate addict, you will probably have to share this with another. The burnt marshmallow on top was a really nice combination with the dark chocolate tart and the biscuit crumbles in between. The dark chocolate will tend to be increasingly overwhelming after a while. That is why this needs to be shared so that it remains a fond memory.
Special request of L, this Tiramisu ($8) is homemade and has a strong alcohol taste.
Remember to have a coffee break, whenever and wherever.
On the 2nd level, from 11am - 8pm it's a retail space (SALE!!) but after 8pm it's converted into a bar, which looks really cool as we walked up the stairs to check it out. The bartender was beckoning us in but it was running late so we gave it a miss.
What's left to do after having alcoholic desserts and dark chocolate? Cam whore of course!
That's E trying to convince people to have a coffee break, I'm pretty sure it's going to be infused with alcohol with that "slutty" wannabe face of hers lol.
Till next time.
