Changing Appetites

I realized that I always dine here with the same group of friends and the Frankenstein Mudpie is a must have whenever we eat here.

Frankenstein Mudpie

Nutty Vampire Mudpie

Ice Edge Cafe

This pizza is really good! The edge was crispy and the center had a chewy texture. Love thin crust pizza! I can't remember what is it called though. Pizza romana?

Pistachio Ice Cream
If you love pistachio, you got to have this!

My eyes lit up when I saw these exciting flavours! Super cheap thrill but this is one reason why I love grocery shopping at Mustafa.

nutella chocolate chip cookies

Today is the start of my one week study break before the exams but I refuse to study (as always) so I decided to bake. I really love nutella and thought it would be nice to have it in cookies, which I've not tried before. Anyway nothing can go wrong with nutella! Ok I'm bias.


The cookies were so good that I had 8 at one go! Had to stop eating if not there wouldn't be enough for the friends and family.

My dad bought 12 packs of this! I love the lychee flavour the best and lucky 8 out of 12 are lychee! Random note but I think this is the first time my dad bought candy home.

I have a sudden craving for something sweet. If only I can teleport..

This place is really pretty and it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.


Frozen Hot Chocolate
I think the name is so cute because it's so ironic. Definitely one of the best chocolate drink I've ever had!

Cheesecake Sundae
This is what I really need now to satisfy my craving. A big slice of cheesecake with scoops of strawberry and raspberry ice cream topped with whipped cream and strawberry sauce!

Cafe Divine

My first meal in SF after a long drive from LA. The actual plan was to visit Mama's but sadly it wasn't open. Chanced upon this cafe and we decided to try it out since we were hungry and needed proper breakfast after eating lots of junk food during the drive. The food didn't disappoint and it was good enough to satisfy our stomach.
