Bengawan Solo @ West Mall

You can find Bengawan Solo almost everywhere in Singapore.

So, what's so special about this branch of Bengawan Solo?
It has a sitting area where you can try the kueh-kueh muih-muih that's on sale.

I found out a few days ago from my aunt, that many people come here to have their Cendol.



So I came here with my Uncle and Aunty to have cendol after doing some grocery shopping. (Bengawan Solo in West Mall is just in front of Shop N Save)

Dessert photos are difficult to take. Things are all hidden under the ice shavings.

What you can see here is that the shaved ice's topped with gula melaka that looks so rich and sweet. To add a hint of old times, they are using those olden style metal spoons too!

The Cendol's $2.50.



Depending on your style of eating. Some people like to mix the whole bowl up immediately. Others like to slowly 'discover' the treasure inside. They nibble bits of ice shavings slowly.

We like slowly digging the ice and revealing the cendol slowly. Here you see some cendol appearing....



There's also a new dessert that's on promotion. Ice Avocado. $2.80 (on promo price)
The ice shaving's covered with chocolate sauce and bandung.



The hidden treasures below the ice shavings are:
- chunks of avocado
- pieces of nangka
- plus other stuff that I forgot. LOL..



Not sure if other Bengawan Solo stalls have Cendol.
But this branch at West Mall has. Anyone knows other branches that have it?

Mayim @ West Mall

You might have heard the phrase, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" So, sis and I wondered, can anything good come out in West Mall? (oops, sorry to people who stay in Bukit Batok, it's just a joke)

But it seems there is! We who are living all over this tiny island, met up in West Mall so that we could have a birthday celebration dinner at Mayim. At a 'forever there's a queue' restaurant in West Mall called Mayim.

You get modern zen crockery. Cups that alternate between "fat and short" with "tall and slim". Plates that are not round, but triangular.



Also, condiments on the table that are quite unique and tasty.
(Sorry for the blur photos, came out today with a camera that has no more battery juice, you turn it on, the cameras turn itself off after the no power icon comes out, so no time to focus and quickly snap haha)



The Beef Tendon dish. It's quite delicious.



The soy sauce chicken. Usually you have this cold right? This one comes warm.



Family's favourite. Spicy aubergine with mince meat.
(Sorry, the word aubergine stuck to my mind after only 2 weeks in UK, I finally remember it as brinjal. LOL)



Fruity Fish.



Another dish that we like that makes your rice in your bowl just disappear!
Deep fried long beans with mince.



Tofu and mushroom dish.
Be very careful. It burns your tongue. It's very very hot!



Very tender beef with tao pok and cabbage.



This was unusual. Xiao long bao that comes in little cups.



We ended the meal with an ice cream cake from Swensen's from next door.
The kind management allowed us to bring in a cake. :-)
