After a good long rest today, I am back again writing part 2 of my post on the RWS food that I have tried.



In every meal, the usual sequence of dishes would be as follows: Appetizers, Main Courses and finally, desserts. As the curtains are drawn over my RWS staycation, I shall share a dessert place to wrap up my time at Hotel Michael like how you would wrap up a meal.

This place is called," Just Like It!"

Location:

26 Sentosa Gateway
01-201
Singapore 098269

Ambience:


This peculiar looking stall that originated from Australia right smack at the front of the stretch with Hard Rock Cafe has an appearance that provides a blast to the past for adults and even students alike.


Chemistry equations and scribblings against a cosmic like background provides an interesting backdrop that attracts locals and tourists to pay the stall a visit. Trying out an ice cream can be a relaxing and enjoying experience as the place can be quiet apart from the machineries that rumbles when it is used to create the ice cream dishes for the customers.


Interestingly enough, the ice creams are made with nitrogen based gas which would make the ice creams cold and long lasting. Where would you even be able to spot something like that around often?


To add on, the family in charge of the stall is quite adorable and they kind of brighten up your mood when you order the ice cream from them. Plus points and more plus points.

But behold, because what I am referring and describing up till this moment is the AMBIENCE of this place and not the food quality or the price of this place. Ambience wise, is still quite decent but food wise, I do have my reservations over it.

Food:


What my family wanted to try out initially was this King Durian Ice Cream as my Dad loves this particular flavour. I wouldn't mind trying that flavour of ice cream as I do like Durian Ice creams to a certain extent. However, by the time we were there, all of that ice cream were already sold out so we had to make do with the Vanilla Oreo Ice Cream.

It was really quite shiok to try out that ice cream especially towards the end of my trip. Sitting there, not thinking about anything, and just simply enjoying this moment of serenity. Yes, it's true. I am writing as if I am in some beach resort or in some sauna but that was really how I felt then. Liberation and freedom. No phone calls from the office, no work to worry about. Everything is pointing towards one thing - That is to Enjoy yourself.


As I have said, the ice cream is quite shiok but I think they might have made a mistake. Vanilla Oreo felt more like chocolate oreo instead. From start to finish, what I tasted was only the chocolate flavour and I did not manage to taste the vanilla flavour at all. The thick chocolate flavour is commendable but that was not exactly what I asked for.

I.
Wanted.
Vanilla.

Full stop. End of story.

Pricing:


Crazy Exorbitant pricing for an ice cream and the ice cream quality wasn't even that outstanding. The pricings can be seen from the picture above.

Ultimately, a great experience at Just Like It but it was only because of the ambience and not the food. The ice cream might be shiok to a certain extent, but it wasn't enough to satisfy me.



So with that, Peanut has left a marker on another food place.

Stay tuned for more adventures!

Time flies when you're having fun. That is always the case isn't it..?

It's almost 2am and I am still up doing this post and revelling in this state of relaxation and enjoyment. I am indeed feeling pensive at this point in time. The million dollar question I would usually ask myself after every event is this - Do I have any takeaways from it?


 You sure bet I do for this Resorts World Sentosa Staycation.

That is why I have decided to cover 2 food places in this area over 2 posts. The first of which encapsulates plenty of flavour from our geographical neighbour - The Malaysian Food Street.


After trying out the food at Malaysian food street situated not too far away from Hotel Michael, I do have my top 5 favorites that I would like to share.



So Without further ado...I shall commence!


Penang Hokkien Mee:

Unlike the eye catchy yellow noodle persona that the usual hokkien mee has, the Penang hokkien mee is coated with a deep black colour that has no intention of catching your attention. As the saying goes," you don't judge a book by its cover."



It's appearance holds no semblance as to how the noodles actually taste when they get in contact with your tastebuds. Add on the chilli to the noodles and you will get a flavourful experience that will definitely not disappoint.



Waiting time for this dish can be long during the peak timings of lunch and dinner but it is well worth a try.



Satay:



"Do you know the satay man, the satay man, the satay man?" Well in this case, I obviously don't but the person who served my family when we purchased the food was a really friendly individual.


The minimum amount of satay sticks one can order is 10 and $0.80 per stick is still reasonable considering the venue probably has got high rental rates. Probably my second favorite dish behind the hokkien mee, I would give the Satays a thumbs up for the deliciousness it offers.




Rojak:



The stall selling rojak in Malaysia Food Street is severely undermanned. But despite the lack of manpower, take nothing away from the rojak this stall serves to its customers.



Fresh tasting fruits and the extremely scrumptious you tiao coated with the delicious rojak sauce is the perfect appetizer to a meal there.

Fritters:



I have always loved the idea of putting aside many different food ingredients separately and trying their original taste one by one. Fritters are one of the best way to do so as you have the option of trying the food solely with its original taste or you can dip it with the sauce prepared from the stall.

Sauce wise and food wise, this stall doesn't match up to the one found in Maxwell Food Market. Even price wise, it is slightly more expensive than the one at Maxwell stall. In spite of that, the fritters are freshly prepared and I would still go for it. This stall is located right beside the Prawn Mee stall which I am going to talk about next.




Prawn mee:



I had a hard time deciding between putting the Prawn Mee or the Bak Kut Teh on my list but eventually, my heart just had to tell me that it's the prawn mee.
