Palate Pleasers N Tummy Teasers

A post of indulgence, where food covered with metal lids are presented with a flourish followed by a brief explanation of the goodness (that is the ingredients) that goes into each morsel.
Presenting Forlino’s “Gourmet” Menu:
Complimentary Serving of Homemade Sweetbread
Tastebud Tickler: Grilled Squid
Mushrooms with Ricotta Cheese
Parsley Tagliolini with Clams and Sundried Tomatoes
Halibut Filet with Orange Caramel, Green Asparagus and Martini Vermouth Sauce
Or
Wagyu Beef Cheek Braised with Marsala Wine and Herb Mashed Potatoes
Molten Lava Chocolate Cake with Banana Gelato and Rum Sauce
Coffee & Petit Fours
$98
True to the description of Forlino’s food as “timeless cuisine”, it was clear in every dish presented that the freshness and quality of ingredients used were never compromised. Even a simple dish of Tagliolini pasta dressed in olive oil, green peppers and parsley was nothing short of stellar. I could wax lyrical about each and every dish, but short of extending this post to 2 pages long, I can only say that the next time a special occasion comes around that calls for food as fantastic as the ambience, there is no doubt where I’ll be placing my reservations for a table

Makan Post-it (10) - Udderly good ice-cream!
Comments
I’ve been wanting to share this gem of an ice-cream parlour with all you dear readers for the longest time, but every trip I made was coincidentally in the absence of our photographer-boy X. Not until one hot and sticky morning of activity after, where a trip to Udders was warranted
This has got to be the best use of mall space! Setting up a seating area ‘alfresco’ style, in an open space that would otherwise be a (too) wide pathway for shoppers. Sure beats having everyone holed up in a tiny shop. Hey, a mass congregation of human bodies = a rise in surrounding temperature = ice-cream melting faster 
I’ve had people asking me, “After reviewing so many ice-cream places, aren’t you guys sick of the stuff already??” Not when it’s ice-cream of such quality and intensity! Freshly made of course, so even their comparably less exciting variety don’t bother me as much. At least they’re Masters of the flavours they do 
As someone who’s neither a fan of caramel nor sea salt, I must say their medley of both is quite Kick-S For an elaboration on their alcoholic concoctions, please read on…
Down an entire scoop of Orange Choc Bitters, or any of their liqueur flavours for that matter, and you may possibly fail the breathalyzer. DRIVERS’ ALERT: Not to be consumed at night! Don’t say papilles didn’t warn you if you can’t get past the next roadblock 
(Yes. They are that generous with the booze.)
Fans of local fruits - their Mao Shan Wang Durian ice-cream is to-die-for! A seedless durian. That’s how I’d describe it. Any better and you’ll have to open the thorny husk yourself! (Also available in D24). Other Singaporean-familiar flavours include Cempedak, Kopi-C and Gula Melaka+Attap Chee. Their full list of flavours can be found here.
