Before Sok Min goes to Switzerland, we had a list of restaurants-to-visit. One of them was Penang laksa from Penang Recipe at Upper Thompson Road. I have never tried Penang laksa before and since Sok Min kept raving about how delicious it was, I was quite looking forward to try it.
Looking at the picture alone makes my mouth watery
Though Sok Min said that it wasn't as tasty as she first tried it, I still think it tasted quite good. Not really good at taking spicy food, I still managed to finish up all the laksa soup. Even when writing this entry now, I am still reminiscing the taste. It costs around $5 to $6.50 per bowl, I can't really remember. Most of the people in the shop all ordered the laksa so I guess it should be quite popular.
After dinner, headed straight to our next to-visit-restaurants which was Max Brenner at Esplanade for desserts.
We ordered three dishes to share. We attracted quite a few stares from
people probably because it made us looked like gluttons and we were
taking pictures excessively acting like some food bloggers or critics.

Chocolate Surprise Tiramisu
Espresso soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, red berries & a layer of chocolate truffle
I didn't taste any ladyfingers at all. This doesn't really taste as good as what I've imagined as it has too much cream.
Chocolate Chunks Pizza
Crunchy hazelnut bits, banana, peanut butter or roasted marshmallows.
We ordered the the half size chocolate pizza. You can either select 2 toppings which I have listed above or "The Works" which is to mix all the toppings. Being a calculative shopper, of course we ordered to "The Works" to taste all the toppings just by paying an additional 50cents. I would say that it taste pretty good. With banana and hazelnut bits, it really did balance the taste by not making the pizza too sweet to handle.
The Melting Chocolate Truffle Heart Cake and Shake
Milk and chocolate heart cake served with creamy vanilla ice-cream, red berries and an iced milk chocolate shot
Did my research from Ladyironchef's blog that Max Brenner served the best chocolate souffle in Singapore hence we definitely would not missed out this dish. To our disappointment, it tasted too sweet even without pouring the chocolate sauce. Maybe I'm do not know how to appreciate good food or that everything tasted sweet after we finished the chocolate pizza.
Tea Infusion
Choice of Earl grey, blue berries, lemongrass or mix all three.
Sok Min asked for the mixture of all three flavors. The taste is not too strong and the fragrance of the tea smells great. What impressed us was the way of pouring the tea. Just by placing the pot above the cup, tea will be automatically released from the bottom of the pot. The waitress was laughing at us when she saw our amazed faces and we kept playing with the tea trying to figure out how it worked.
After some observations, I realised there was a sort of push-button at the bottom of the pot. Just by adding pressure to the bottom would push the base inside and dispense tea. I thought there was some kind of sensor or something, I felt stupid at that moment and understood why the waitress laughed at us. lols.
Golden Latte
Passionfruit, yogurt, honey, orange juice blended with ice
It tasted quite okay and a little bit creamy. If it was much more ice cold, I think it would taste much better.
Sok Min.
Me.
Total bill was slightly less than $80, each person paid around $40. Quite expensive to me but thats quite a atas restaurant considering the atmosphere, location and presentation of the desserts. It will be more worth it to ask more people to share the food and cost together.
Strolled from Esplanade to Marina Bay Sands as we were too full from all the good food.
Nice wallpapers
camwhore in the toilet
Thanks Sok Min for driving me around to eat all these good food! I think after she goes to Switzerland, I'll live like a pauper. No good food. LOLS!
