Mochi Creamery

Yeaah finally I'm finish posting about Singapore's food review from my trip last year.. And the last post is about Singaporean dessert, Mochi Creamery.. Mochi Creamery is another product line from Beard Papa's Cream Puffs, and they haven't opened any branch yet in Jakarta, I'm so excited to try it..


The store is located adjacent to the Beard Papa's stall, Mochi Creamery has 20 various flavors of mochi ice cream with attractive different colors..


The store display these realistic and colorful mochi ice cream dummies on glass panel and look each model was dusted with artificial white powder, just like a real mochi and so attractive.. So many flavors to choose, make me hard to choose which flavor to eat.. But finally we tried only these several flavors..


The Green Tea Mochi, the mochi skin was evenly dusted with green tea powder, soft, and chewy.. The green tea ice cream had a red bean bits and really blend well with ice cream.. Yummyy..


The Pistachio Mochi, a pale green pistachio flavored ice cream with lovely crushed of pistachio nuts..


E opted the Tiramisu Mochi, the mochi filled with tiramisu flavored coffee ice cream, and dusted with cocoa power..


Next is the Blueberry Mochi, a blueberry ice cream stuffed in chewy mochi.. The ice cream tasted creamy and fruit but not too sweet, it was really refreshing..


We also bought 1 box of it to enjoy it in our hotel, it contains 6 pcs mochi and the box they used is specially design to keep the dry ice on it, so that the ice cream will still be cold for at least 2 hours.. See they also packed it neatly one by one.. And the best way to enjoy your mochi ice cream is to let it thaw for about 5-6 minutes in room temperature before eat it..

All mochi flavors costs SGD 2.00, yup a bit expensive yaa but its really good.. I haven't try all flavors but I'm sure other flavors will taste just as good as I've tried.. The mochi skin has a nice texture and the flavored ice cream is creamy enough, really combined well to give a unique and delicious taste.. So, this post will mark the end of my Singapore's foods post from my trip last year.. Really such a great trip!!

Ichiban Sushi

Thinking of what to eat in Mall Kelapa Gading (MKG) has always been a headache with the overwhelming choices of restaurants.. Wandered around in MKG and finally we find this new restaurant that we have not explored, Ichiban Sushi..


From their name, I assume that they are good in sushi dish.. They served not only a fusion sushi but there also some Japanese dishes.. The menu here is quite various and attractive, it takes some time for us to decide what to order..


The interior is modern with an open kitchen concept and dominated by red color, but it still has a Japanese style and you also can choose to seat in their tatami tables..


Here we go, we started with this fried sushi Cosmoplotitan (25K), a fried sushi filled with beef teriyaki and mozzarella cheese.. This is not a usual sushi I've eaten, but it turn out to be good.. It's crispy outside and the melted cheese goes well with the chewy rice..


And another one is Tiger Fire (32K), a sushi filled with prawn tempura and coated with tuna floss.. The prawn tempura was fresh and crisp, the rice roll was quite thick, and the fish floss was added the sweetish taste.. Such a pretty decent roll..


Not only the sushi we also tried Katsu Yakiudon (27K), fried udon served with deep fried chicken cutlet.. The fried udon was good and the chicken cutlet also crispy, but I think that the portion was on the small side..

Actually we also ordered the Chicken Teppanyaki (30K) but I forgot to take the picture, E finished it so fast haha.. The chicken teppanyaki tasted so so only..

I can say that their Japanese dishes was just ok, their sushi was great, they really creative in their fusion style sushi.. The sushi was various, fresh, and tasty.. And for the price, I think it's still a value for money dish (tax include already in the price).. I will return for their other sushi variations...
