Ice Bowl - Original Taiwanese Desserts @ SS2, Petaling Jaya

There's another new "dessert" kid in town - desserts being the latest food fad for now.  Ice Bowl in SS2 has turned this row of shop houses into an even more enticing area.

Ice Bowl, SS2

Entering this less than a week old premise, you get the "Snowflake" outlet feel. Much has been written about Snowflake, so much so, though I have eaten at the outlet in Kota Damansara often - I didn't feel the need to add on to all the accolades this dessert was already getting. From what I can see, the menu at Ice Bowl and Snowflake are almost identical (well, not really...read on).  So, one can't help but to compare Ice Bowl's line up with Snowflake's.  We all know how packed Snowflake can get.  Ice Bowl was packed too and just as noisy but not overspilling at the the order counter (like Snowflake's) when I was there.  Just about two customers lining up each time I checked while I was eating there.  They have the same modus operandi : Order and pay at the counter, take your "beeper" and wait till the initial dormant beeper goes into "techno" mode. Collect your desserts at the pick up counter.

Welcome!

Friday Quick Bites - Teriyaki Pork Burger @ Kissaten, Jaya One Petaling Jaya


(NON-HALAL)


Just as I am recovering from my Phuket holiday and getting back to routine, the weekend's here again (Yay!) and come next week, I'm off again for another mini holiday ...

It's Friday (no more jokes/parodies about Rebecca Black's hit, please!), here's another Friday Quick Bites series ... presenting Kissaten @ Jaya One.  I had previously blogged on Kissaten for another Friday Quick Bites post too.  Check it out it HERE.

Kissaten Teriyaki Pork Burger

One of my faves along with the usual order of Teriyaki Chicken Onsen Tamago Pizza from Kissaten (in Jaya One, though I quite like the outlet at IOI Boulevard too).  Served sans the usual potato wedges/french fries ... this beauty is quite substantial size serving and can definitely fill one's tummy!  I love the mix of runny egg yolk & the teriyaki sauce along with the moist meat pattie. The burger bun is comes with generous amount of sesame seeds too.  I normally 1) cut this into half, 2) remove the top bun and 3) eat this part by part with my fork & knife else there will be messy hands and maybe traces of meal evidence on my Ts! Hahaha....

Both outlets are open from 11am till 12 midnight on weekdays and till 2am on weekends! Woo Hoo! I've asked before, apparently kitchen closes at 1am (if my memory doesn't fail me).  Fancy having a Teriyaki Pork Burger at such an hour :o)?

I would rather be having a burger and beers with my mates but I can't do that when I know I've got to dance

Charismatic Canada - Ottawa Sights Part Six

Just got back a few hours ago from a mini holiday .... am hitting the sack soon. Meanwhile, here are some sights from Ottawa (another post on the Canadian series).  Good night folks...and have a good week ahead!


Parliment Buildings Sound & Light show
Sound & Light show - a 30 minute show where the history and culture of Canada is projected onto the Parliament Buildings, usually on nightly from July-September each year.


Street Artist
Our visit to Ottawa was interesting as it was International Busker Festival where artists from around the world showed off their skills on the streets of Ottawa...

Fire Play
We particularly enjoyed this "fiery" troupe that got us mesmerized with their fire handling skills backed by fast tempo music...

Cute Lemonade Stall
While this pic has nothing to do with buskers, I found this Lemonade stall so amusing!  Literally a Lemonade stall!


Hope that last pic put a smile on your face!  Okay, now to bed....

To Be Continued ...
