Dim sum and chocolate ice-cream

Okay, so it's not your typical combination of foods. It's also probably a good thing that we didn't try to consume them together. Anyway.

Dim sum: Victor's Kitchen
J was craving for dim sum, so we went to try Victor's Kitchen at Sunshine Plaza for lunch. Located inside the building on the ground floor, the place isn't very big at all. We had to wait for one of the tables lining the corridor outside the shop.

The oyster sauce char siew pau was filled with a pretty decent portion of chunky meat, only downside is that you get two buns per order (instead of three at most dim sum places).

I liked the lor mai kai (one per order), and the carrot cake was particularly good. Didn't really think much of the har gao and siew mai, but then again, I'm not a huge fan of those either. Didn't order the custard bun recommended by ChubbyHubby.

Overall a good first impression, marred only by the kids at the next table who almost knocked our table over and didn't bother to apologize. Brats. And what's the point in parents telling their kids to say sorry and then not following up when they don't?

Chocolate ice-cream: Awfully Chocolate
Took rien's suggestion and dropped by the Awfully Chocolate outlet in Katong Mall to try out one scoop of their chocolate ice-cream.

It's served in a small, kitschy-but-cute pseudo-chinese-takeout paper bucket. The chocolate taste is intense; rien called it "orgasmic". Very good stuff - J was sorely tempted to get another scoop. Heard good things about their chocolate cakes too, so we'll come back to check it out another time.
