After a good night's sleep, a late night conversation, no recriminations, just quiet understanding. I suddenly feel inexplicably foolish and ashamed for making such a mountain out of the molehill.

Anyway, I mentioned a heavy lunch right, it was actually Brennan, after dithering between spageddies, nydc and coffee club, we finally settled on coffee club at ngee ann city for its ambience and newly launched baked rice set. We ordered the mushroom and parmesan baked rice, honey mustard chicken sandwich and a muddy mud pie( of course). The baked rice wasn't all that great and I suspected they used a campbell based sauce for the rice. The sandwich was better than the rice, I thought, with juicy chicken chunks and creamy honey mustard dressing.

Last but not least was the dessert. The towering mudpie came replete with generous dose of chocolate sauce and oreo crumbs and definitely did not disappoint. The dessert that came with the set lunch was an interesting berry compote with mascarpone and sable tart. It was refreshingly tart, though without the kick that only chocolate can bring.

Eating slowly and just savouring everybit of it, and soaking in the atmosphere, it was luxurious in a way, no more of that when school starts and hectic life begins.

Oh, and I tried my hand at making konnyaku Jelly. It was pretty idiot proof, though very sticky and messy affair. It turned out nicely chewy, though a little too sweet. I forsee that I would be making lots of it, since its one of my favourite none chocolate dessert, maybe experimenting with different fillings.

I also baked brownies, taking advantage of the fact that mum wasn't at hme...hee. The brownie was near perfect, one of the feel times it wasn't too underdone nor overdone, with a really soft and moist and chocolatey taste, with a melt in the mouth texture. Its near perfect because I prefer a fudgier brownies. But my last attempt at fudgie brownie tasted great, but looked horrible..hahah..I hope the feedback is good..hee
