Cornetto + McFlurry....... What a Taste !

Yesterday, I was in Tesco, cup and I agreed to indulge ourselves with McFlurry Oreo, which is cup's favourite flavor. When we reached the counter, I was attracted to a new Cornetto McFlurry. I must admit I am a fan of Cornetto, so I persuaded cup to try this new perfect match - Cornetto + McFlurry combination.

the result? :( cup didn't want to make a move on the decision and insisted on her McFlurry Oreo, so we ended up getting one each for each of us, haih..... (sigh) what a stubborn head !!


McDonalds has introduced Cornetto McFlurry, claimed to offer crunchy sweetness of crushed Cornetto cones mixed with mouth-watering chocolate chips. It is either served with chocolate or strawberry topping, it's a totally new and delicious way to enjoy Cornetto in one cup.

Anyway, my comment on this new flavor is fairly good, all I remembered is its sweetness !! So, if you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely for you. It has the crunchy cones and chocolate chips in it, as claimed and they are totally visible to your tongue. Another thing is that it is absolutely stickier and creamier compared to other flavor because of the chocolate syrup.

So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead, get one and give yourself a try, especially if you're a Cornetto freak like me ! :p

Glorious steak, lamb and beyond...

It was the 3rd of October, marking the special day of my birthday! Time really flies... Before I know it, I'm a quarter of a century old now.. *sob*sob* And in order to make me feel a wee bit better, sweet dear Saucer brought me out for dinner. *yay* We went to Victoria Station in Penang Island, some place that I have never been to before.

Inside the restaurant, there was a coach built-in, not unlike a train coach. Ooo... exciting! Of course we chose to sit inside the coach, to make it seem like we're really having our dinner in a train. The service was friendly and attentive... We ordered our dinner and shortly after, were served with bread and butter. Then, my drink came... it was a Chocolate milkshake, which, at RM4.90, was really cheap! Tasted wonderful as well!

Then came Saucer's main course, which was a Sizzling steak. It smelled glorious and the sizzle took quite a long time to subside. The taste was fantabulous! I loved how the steak was marinated beforehand, and how it was sizzling hot when it went into my mouth. The accompanying sauce was also done perfectly. I would definitely order this again next time... :)

A closer look (RM32.90)

Next came my order, which was a grilled lamb cutlet with mint sauce (RM29.90). The presentation itself was already pretty. Aside from the fatty part of the meat, the lamb was delicious as well. It was grilled just right and portion was huge.

After the main courses, we were both full to the brim... however, we still had the dessert to conquer! We ordered the Bombe Alaska (if I remember the name correctly) and when we saw it coming, we were surprised at how huge it was! At that point of time, we were both cursing each other for ordering such a dessert. The best part, however, was the presentation!
My camera could not capture it very nicely, but the dessert was literally on fire! When the waiters were at the side of our table, one of them was pouring rum on the dessert plate and then he lit it up! The second waiter who was holding the dessert plate then continuously scoop the rum from the plate and pour it all over the dessert, while maintaining the fire burning. It was the first time I saw something unique like this... and it was really cute.
After the fire subsided, the waited cut the dessert into half and served it on our plates. One serving (half of the dessert)looks exactly like this:
There was a scoop if ice-cream on top of a piece of swiss roll, with the combination covered in sweet whipped cream and topped with crispy meringue. Nope, we did not finish the dessert... but I definitely finished my ice-cream! Lovely dinner, lovely atmosphere and most importantly... lovely company... :) Thank you so much!

XOXO,
Cup
