With international brands like Haagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry dominating the ice-cream market, comes along our very own home-grown talents making local ice-cream. Island Creamery is the founder and at the forefront of such local ice cream makers.
After much feedbacks from friends and readers, i’ve decided on moved all the links to a separate page, entitled “Links”
Previously the very long list of blog links to the other foodies, and friends made the whole outlook very messy, i guess by shifting all of the blogroll to a separate page, LIC homepage will have a neater look.
Not the most creative of names, but it do offer the simplicity and allows readers to spot this at once, you can now click on Links which is located at the top of the page, just beside Gourmet Roll
Cheers

The same night of cake adventure hunting before we went to Grand Hyatt’s Mezza9. My secret food partner and i went in to Marriot pastry shop at the lobby to inquire whether they have any promotions for their cakes, but they only have half price for their pastries. And the staff were already packing up, so there’s only a few selections left.
Wessex village, a tranquil and peaceful estate in the leafy Portsdown Road area is no stranger to the art scene in Singapore. Recently, with the entry of some new restaurants, it is slowly becoming the “It” place to be.
This will be good news for my fellow “west-erners” since LIC always lament the fact that the east side has more good food. With Holland Village, Chips Bee garden, Greenwood Avenue, Sunset way, Rochester Park, and now Wessex Village, who says there isn’t good places to chill in the West!
But this may not be music to the ears to some others, people who enjoyed the quaint environment and would rather preferred Wessex Village not to become the next Dempsey, over-rated and over-populated.
Have no fret about that, because currently in Wessex Village, there is only Pietrasanta an Italian restaurant, Laurent’s Cafe & Chocolate Bar, Klee a cocktail bar, and Colbar a very old-school coffee shop.
People always say, never eat cakes after 9.30pm! But who cares about the calories that comes along with the sinful indulgence? LIC says, have your cake and eat it! Especially since premium hotel cakes are going at half price after 9.30pm!
My secret food partner and i decided to go on a cake-hunt as we recalled that some hotels have half price promotions on their cakes after a certain timing. We went to Marriot hotel first, after which we found ourselves at Grand Hyatt, Mezza9.
ladyironchef (LIC) has decided to come up with “See you there!” category. This will be for restaurants or places that LIC been to and will go back again, hence the “see you there”
As most of you will know by now, LIC will not usually repeat a visit to the same restaurant, because the money will otherwise be better well spend trying another new place.
And also LIC does not have any ratings on the food because taste is a very subjective thing, and different people like different food, what LIC prefers, you might not like it.
Therefore the “See you there!” category is for places that LIC will truly revisit again, and this may not just because the food is good. It can be due to reasons like the ambiance of the place, the service of the staff, or the overall package of it.
So do watch out for this new category, lets have a disclaimer first, LIC does not guarantee that the place is excellent, but when it warrents the tag, thats the place LIC will revisit, and SEE YOU THERE!
Island cafe at the Tangs shopping mall at Vivocity. You might find the association of Island cafe and Tangs weird, isn’t Tangs the fashion lifestyle retailer? What does Island cafe has to do with it?
Recently we have seen the rebranding of Tangs, from the old perception of Tangs is a boring place to shop, to the new image of a hip and lifestyle concept retailer store.
Naturally, Tangs wanted its customers to stay longer in its shopping mall, so it came out with Island Cafe for its customers to enjoy a little meal in between their shopping sprees. Tangs is not the first to come out with such ideas by combing food and shopping, think PS cafe and you will get the idea.
