Piping hot with a scoop of home made salted caramel ice cream
This cafe is known to be a specialist in freshly baked tarts, making them from scratch daily on the premises. I have been here quite a few times since it opened a couple of years ago. On my most recent visit, I noticed they now offer even more tempting choices. One of which is this Dark Chocolate Banana Tart.
The chocolate element begins from the bottom with a crisp, dark chocolate biscuit type of base. Next came a thin layer of dark, semi-sweet chocolate ganache. Piled higgledy-piggledy on top of that are big chunks of bananas. These have been rolled around in the same gorgeous thick, dark chocolate ganache prior, so they're absolutely divine. A heavy sprinkle of cocoa powder adds the final touch to this awesome dessert.
About a week old :) yummy waffles and homemade ice cream! Be sure to try their honey scotch ice cream!
Generous, tender portions of beef on a bed of soft kway teow and gravy. This famous store rivals it's uncle's just across the street at Mongkok Dim Sum on Lorong 8, as the feud continues over who owns the original recipe. Whatever the truth, we're just grateful that there are not one, but two awesome beef kway teows in one place.
Probably the largest Thai eatery housed in Golden Mile Complex, Diandin Leluk has gained quite a following over the years. Start with the Fried Catfish Salad or maybe the Thai Chicken Feet Salad; both are really good. Get the Hotplate Omelette with Oyster alongside, brimming with umami, juicy and plump oysters, and lots of egg. The Basil Minced Pork here is excellent if you want a simple one dish supper. They also operate a stall opposite the restaurant that sells Thai street snacks, like skewers of grilled meats, and desserts.
Hotpots are not typically associated with supper grub. Here's the million dollar question though... why not? Huay Kwang Thai Kitchen opens from 6pm-6am daily at their Townshend Road outlet (Jalan Besar), and from 5pm-2am on Fridays to Saturdays at their other outlet at Upper Thompson Road. The combination of BBQ and steamboat (moo ka ta) makes for a unique and fun supper experience for groups!
The Miam Miam French Toast did live up to it's snobbish description "don't ask, just order it". Perfectly toasted bread was light and fluffy, without being eggy and wet common with bad French toast, with a dollop of light cream to counter the heaviness of bread. Definitely recommend to try!
