Haegan Dazs New Creation

I was very fortunate to be invited by Haegan Dazs to taste their new Sushi Platter ice cream creation. And what I have to say that this is one of the best creation I have seen so far. I find this idea is brilliant. I think if you like Sushi and Ice Cream, then you will definitely enjoy this.



Basically there are 4 different types of sushi ice cream flavour and a green tea ice cream which sorts of represents wasabi. And the apples are just some decoration. But I have to say that the apples goes really well with the sushi ice cream. *yummy*....

Just look at the menu and you will get to read about what are the different types of flavour of sushi ice cream. You have got to try it. But this has got be shared. It's too much to savour this on your own. Guess what, I had all this to myself for my dinner and I felt like a big kid. I totally enjoyed it. Hehe... I think it's every kids dream to be savouring delicious yummy ice cream for dinner. hehe...



Just look at the tamago ice cream. It looks so real and the taste is great.



My favourite has got to be Strawberry Gunkan and Mango Sorbet Sushi... Now I feel like having more. *lol*


Doesn't this looks tempting...

I was told that the shops are not selling many of these sushi platter every day. They only have about 5-6 sets in a day. So better go early to try it before it is sold out.

Besides the sushi platter ice cream, I was also given a chance to taste their new Sweet Romance cake which is not out in the market yet. It's a long lasting memory of Haegan Dazs ice cream with strawberries, white chocolate shaving and whipped cream. The taste is nice but not something you can have a lot as it's too sweet. I myself personally feel that if the white chocolate is replaced with dark chocolate shaving would have been better. Anyway, you can always choose a different flavour of ice cream. I think it's a great birthday cake. I wouldn't mind if someone buy this cake to celebrate my birthday. *hint hint*

Overall I enjoyed my Haegan Dazs ice cream tasting session. It was absolutely amazing and I guess it was a great relaxing night with great dessert after a long day at work. I still somehow feel that they serve the best ice cream.

Oh ya, they had also revamped their menu. Doesn't the menu looks like a recipe book. Haha.. It looks much better and I think the food stylist for Haegan Dazs did a great job as the photos in it looks absolutely amazing. Just pay a visit to any of the Haegan Dazs outlet near you and you can admire the pictures in it. You will want to order every single item in the menu as it looks superbly tempting especially Paradise.

Hope you enjoy this and don't forget to go try the new Sushi Platter Ice Cream. Once again thanks Haegan Dazs and Pat Lin Communications.

Sweet Desserts

Cutie has been very happy lately and life has been great for me. I had a great but tiring week but it's all worthwhile. =) Anyway, since it's such a sweet week for me, let me share with you some desserts.

Panna cotta is an Italian classic dessert which is very simple to make. It's made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar mixing with the gelating and leaving it in the fridge to cool until set. It's an Italian expression which literally means "cooked cream". However, doesn't that already give you the idea that this dessert is heavenly sinful. Well, I just gotta say yes and it's not a dessert you can have it daily.

So I was interested in looking for an alternative in preparing this delicious dessert. Then I thought of an idea, instead of using cream, why don't I use yogurt. Yup, yogurt can be used and in fact it's not sinful and pretty delicious as well. However, I would recommend to use fruit yogurt and not plain one to give it more flavour. These can be served with berry sauce or fruits.



Here is a simple recipe for you to try out in preparing these healthy panna cotta dessert.

2 tsp unflavoured gelatin
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp honey
160gm flavoured yogurt
Fresh strawberries

In a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/2 cup milk. Let stand until the gelatin is softened about 5 minutes. After gelatin is softened, heat the mixture and stire to make sure the gelatin is dissolved.

Remove from heat and gently whisk in yogurt, honey into the milk mixture. Then pour the mixture into 4 ramekins. Place it in the fridge to cool for at least 1 hour.

To unmould, carefully run a whin knife around the edge of each ramekin to loosen it from the inside of the bowl. Invert the ramekin onto the plate and carefully lift off ramekin once the panna cotta is release. Garnish with fresh fruits and/or fruit puree of your choice.

Here is also another dessert picture of sticky toffee pudding which I had prepared. These pudding was prepared in advance and can be kept in the freezer for about a month. So you can have it anytime you want.

These warm pudding is always best to serve it with cold vanilla ice cream topped with toffee sauce. *drool*

That's all for dessert at the moment. A little too much sugar for me now. hehe... Gotta work it all out this weekend. 'lol' Anyway, got a marathon to run on Sunday so I guess it shouldn't be a problem to burn it off.

Have a great weekend. Cutie hopes next week will be a happy week for me again. I love this feeling. =)

Chili Con Carne

It's been a busy week for me. What a way to start the New Year. I haven't been getting enough sleep and I'm pretty tired most of the time. And what more this weekend I have a packed schedule. Guess I won't be able to catch up with my sleep. Hopefully I don't become a grumpy cutie. That will definitely not be cute. *lol*



Anyway, during that Christmas night, besides fajitas, I also made Chili Con Carne. It's a spicy stew dish made with beef, garlic, onions, cumin and chili peppers. I had never try it before and I heard about this dish. So being a little adventorous, I just gotta try preparing it.



I find that preparing this dish is actually kinda easy to prepare. Basically you just throw everything into the pot and slowly stew it for about 30 minutes and it's ready to serve. Top it with tons of cheese while it's still hot so that the cheese will melt. And then scoop a big dollop of sour cream to be served with it. Yummy!!!



It's a flavourful dish and you can serve it with rice, tortilla, bread or even with chachos chips. I personally love to snack on this dish with chachos while sitting comfortably on my couch watching my favourite telly. What an excellent way to enjoy life?





Anyway, I guess it's time for me to go sleep and catch some rest. Take care to all my dear readers and have a lovely weekend. I know I definitely will as I have something to look forward for. =)
