After the long and tiring and stressful week, the weekend was extremely stress-free. To the point that I almost deceived myself into believing that exams are over. I have been in such a slack mode, suffice to say that there was not much studying done. I had a wonderful treat from dad yesterday night, I guess it was his way of rewarding me after a long week. Dinner(I get to choose) was at Fish and Co, I was craving badly for some unhealthy, deep fried stuff, and I got it..hahah..I chose the Fish & Chips without any hesitation. Dad chose the New york Fish&Chips, which was new on the menu, its like the original one, just with additional cheese stuffing. Aunt Aubrey had the baked salmon.

After our food came, apart from the swapping of food, silence reigned. We were all busy enjoying our food to talk much, especially me. I slowly savoured every mouthful of the lovely battered fish, deliciously light and crispy batter, with fresh and tender fish inside, with generous tartare sauce. It was total enjoyment for me. I had the buttered rice instead of the fries as I don't really fancy fries much, the rice is so much nicer, flavourful and fragrant. After trying Dad's NY fish and chips, I decided that the original one is still nicer. Cheese is undeniably nice(think cheese prata, pizza, cottage pie, quiche), but I just prefer the unadulterated flavour of the original fish and chips, plain and simple and nice. The baked salmon was a healthier alternative to all the fried stuff, complete with omega 3 and all that, but topped with a lovely mushroom cream sauce, I suspect its just as nice...hahah.

After dinner, Dad drove all the way to this little hideaway in Siglap called the Cheesecake Cafe. Guess you can tell from the name the specialty..hahah.. Dad and Aunt Aub discovered this place some time back, and dad was raving about their chocolate cheesecake, and I have been begging to try,so I finally got my wish...woohoo. As it was chilly, we sat outside. The place is so perfect for chilling out, and I guess it has already established quite a reputation cos there was non-stop flow of people. We had the chocolate cheesecake(of course) and a walnut cheesecake. I must say the walnut cheesecake needed more walnuts in it and lacked the creaminess of Bakerzin's one, but I found no faults with the chocolate cheesecake. It was bliss at first mouth. Rich and decadent, but not overly sweet. Its the stuff of every chocoholic and cheesecake lover's fantasy. After that, as I went inside to go to the toilet,I passed by the counter. Just a small digression, the place only has one unisex toilet,so yeah, queing for it can quite pretty unpleasant, especially if your bladder is full. Back to the display counter, i saw more wonderful stuff. There was blueberry cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake, Strawberry oreo cheesecake, rum and raisin cheesecake, very yummy looking peanut butter cheesecake, peach cheesecake...etc. Other offerings included chocolate truffle, tiramisu and chocolate banana cake.. oh man, temptation abounds in there. The interior of the restaurant is really lovely, dimmed lighting and filled with cosy couches. Really nice ambience, I can just forsee myself spending a lazy afternoon there chilling out...hahah..
