02 Nov Clinic work & Ice3 Cafe

At work JP Clinic
my usual Barley Beancurd
look at the abundance of barley!
Jesus, thank You for always blessing me with aunties that will give me a lot, alot of barley. also thank You Jesus for blessing me with bread & Pringles during work.
Pringles are so addictive Jesus. But i thank You for controlling me =)


ended work at 9.45pm, took train over to Gombak, walked to BBDC, waited for Shawn to end work.
Been ages since i last went to BBDC and i'm filled with overwhelming sense of gratitude & praises for You Heavenly Father.
Our Father in Heaven,
i thank You for the grace & mercy You have shown me in the name of Jesus.
because of You Heavenly Father, i have passed my driving test.
because of You the awesome God, all my theory test & practical tests are passed in one time.
i know it is not me, but by Your grace & mercy.
Thank You Heavenly Father,
in the name of Jesus i give thanks,
Amen.


Initial plans were to go Geylang to try the famous taiwan stall there but Praise Lord, through discussions here & there, we decided to go over to the ICE3 cafe at Upper Thomson Road.
Reason for praising Lord?
because after eating at ice3, we went over to Geyland to find that stall so that i can buy back dau sar pastry for my parents but either the stall was either closed or we were too blind.

Jesus, tell me how can i stop thanking You?
how can i stop loving You?
how can i stop praising You?
thank You Heavenly Father for Your love, Your blessing in the name of Jesus Christ =)

Upper Thomson Road has 2 stretch of road, right & left.
The net says its between TongShui & Oishi so by right should be spotted easily but no no, cannot find.
after U-Turn in hope to find that ice3, was feeling kind of dismay so just prayed and asked Jesus for help and yes HALLELUJAH!
Praise You Jesus, thank You for opening up my eyes to manage to spot the Oishi stall! =)

With the blessing from Jesus, Shawn & i found places to park the car and off we went to Ice3 cafe.

the ambiance is good!
the lighting is good!
warm, cosy, delightful!
and best of all when we reached around 11.30pm, there is no one inside, the rest of the customers are sitting outside.
Picked a table for 6 though there is only 2 person.

shawn looking at the menu


HUNGRY JASLYN quickly browsed through the menu and was stumped by all the TEMPTATIONS available!
settled on 2 main course, after ordering, went ard the cafe taking photos
the cute little spot at the counter

ice3 poster

their kitchen is on e 2nd floor, transparent!
isn't this special? kitchen people can see customers, vice versa


climbed up and asked the supervisor - Suresh how long is required for the main course to be served.
15 minutes - HORROR!
i am so so so hungry so is Shawn and so i decided to order desserts - mudpie first to fill up my stomach since the waiting time is only 5 mins.
decided on this after recommending by Suresh


while waiting for the mudpie to be served,
i simply can't resist not cam-whoring.
and so here i go.. ..


the last photo at bottom right is a candid shot.
i was looking at the arrival of this!

Alcoholics' Anonymous $10.90
Rum & raisin ice cream on oreo crust, toppings of raisins and almond toppings and butterscotch syrup & poured over with butterscoth syrup


there are posters around the cafe and so i supposed those are on the walls are their specialities and famous.
This is on the walls! =)

another dish ordered is also found on the walls!


shan't write it again,
reviews on food are found here

Arrival of main course
Seafood Platter $14.90
Softshell crab, calamari, fish bites & prawn dippers served with tartar sauce

preparing to 开动 with all the sauces i want and the utensils!

the very smelly softshell crab


Arrival of 2nd main course
Chicken & Cheese $13.90
chicken fillet topped with melted nacho cheese & mushroom & served with a side of potato wedges & sauteed vegetables


both the main course taste so SO normal & disappointing!!
the softshell crab was super super smelly & i feedbacked to Suresh,
he assured me that the crab used is fresh by showing me their crabs in the storeroom & explained to me the prepatory & cooking method.
and blessing from Jesus, Suresh told me that he will waived off the seafood platter from our bill.
The melted nacho cheese on the chicken tasted watery, not cheesy enough. BUT the wedges is good!!! real good! =)

not full, but with the scare from the 2 main course, we decided to fill our stomach with desserts instead.
After cracking my head with ALL THE VERY NICE CHOICES available,
(p/s click here to look at their menu, but be prepared to salivate!)
Rainbow Delight $12.90
Stacks of Strawberry, Blueberry, Mango ice cream with fresh strawberries, peach slices, chocolate coated seeds, strawberry syrup,whipped cream, maraschino cherry & a wafer pan ALL in a tall parfait glass.


shawn want to eat the waffles and so here we go
Waffle w Fruits $7.90 + Ice Cream $2.50
Waffles are freshly baked upon order

evidence of how YUMMY their desserts is!
i finished this tall parfait all by MYSELF!
(sickening shawn, everytime let me finished all cuz he wants to feed me FAT!)



The bill came up to $52 plus after deduction of seafood platter. For 1 main course & 3 desserts, its worth it.
This cafe is definitely a MUST VISIT for desserts, sweet lovers. Services are good there, friendly & attentive staffs!
Another bonus is they only have 10% GST, no service charge!
EXCELLENT desserts, comfy ambience, good service, this is one place i will definitely frequent if i have the car. Best of alll, it closes at 1am! ^^

Reflection of Shawn & me



after walking, headed back to car.
drove to Geylang,
drove around aimlessly,
till i realized,
we were at East Coast!!!
He could see that i was very sleepy,
and so decided to head back home.

Changed over for me to take the wheels,
and SHIOK!
just simply drove all the way on the expressway from east to west, highest speed went to 140km/h.
Jesus, thank YOU for Your blessing.
that there is no TP around.
for i do not have P-plate with me and i was speeding.
so thank You Jesus.
i promised You that i will not speed again.

Silly shawn gave me something.

opened up

a pretty pink cup!


and yes Jesus, i love You!
the cup reminded me of this
"the emptier my cup is, the more space there is to fill You"
and yes Jesus,
in all circumstances i will give thanks,
in all circumstances i will see You.
=)
