Sinful supper at Holland Village

It was very late at night already and we still have not eaten. We were watching seven swords (七剑) on TV, earnestly waiting for the final battle to commence. Suddenly, they tell us there is a mole and they have to hide in the caves first. Oh dear, how can they treat us like that! Just hurry up and get into battle! We have waited for too long and we cannot wait any longer - we must eat.

Holland Village comes straight to our mind when we think about happening night scenes where we can have our dinner cum supper, really sinfully. A stroll along the road takes you from fine dining restaurants to chic cafe to bars and pubs, but all too expensive for the two of us.

We have recently busted our pockets from so many consecutive days of luxury food and it's not even NYD yet! So our plan tonight goes like this: we will have a humble meal at the hawker centre first, then indulge in Cold Rock ice creams later on.

I'm already feeling fat. But there was like nothing left opened there except for the western food and carrot cake stalls. I had Fish Fried Rice and L had Pork Chop and they were dry and not very nice. Luckily the Carrot Cake was very well done with big chunks of juicy omelette. It was prepared unusually with chill powder and grinded peanuts. I really think it's one of the better Carrot Cakes you can get value for money.

It was now time for desserts! The way Cold Rock goes is this:

step 1: Choose your cup size (choose how much you wanna pay)
step 2: Choose your ice cream flavor (from a choice of about 20? I don't know, I didn't count)
step 3: Choose your toppings ($1 per topping from nuts to Mars and Snicker bars. Crazy.)
step 4: See them mix and mash your ice cream into a cold chunk on their "cold rock".

Now this is the final product L got. Aussie Vanilla and Macademia Ice-cream with Chips ahoy and oreo cookies as toppings!

And this is mine: large size, lemon sorbet plus mango ice cream, and raspberry and bayenberry (forgot the spelling) topping.

Incidently, we were able to take a video clip of their advertising roll just displayed outside through the glass walls. You can see roughly how they mix 'em up.
