Ben & Jerry's Singapore Core Line-Up - (Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Core / Brownie Batter Core)

ABBEY: Ben & Jerry's have two new flavors for their core series : brownie batter and cookies & cream cheesecake. First time I saw them, I planned to get them for Wilma. After spoiling her night, nothing beats two pints of ice cream to say sorry. 

They were delicious. But I like the brownie batter more. It is gooey and chocolatey. Every spoonfol of that sweety goodness is an indulgence. Make sure to drink water after. 

Worth every calorie. Haha.



WILL: I am well-known to be notorious in delaying gratification but Abbey is all out on spoiling me. Here ye! Here ye! After almost a year of my "next time..next time" Abbey bought this Ben & Jerry's Core Line. 

I do not like the cheesecake core. The taste is not close to cheesecake. The brownie batter core is way too sweet (Abbey loves it). 

This Ice Cream Line is of course more expensive than the simple flavours, but I rather go for simplicity. 

Anyways, thanks Abbey for letting me try this!

VERDICT
WILL: When we were at the Banana Leaf Apolo, I saw one dish at their menu and because we may not finish all what we ordered, I just requested Abbey to cook it for our next week’s dinner. That is the Chicken Liver Curry.

Abbey surprised me with basmati rice and papadum on the side. Well, what can you expect on Abbey’s cooking? Yummy! Our house was filled of curry’s aroma! 

Try to cook it too!

VERDICT
WILL: Sheng Shiong gave us a free item! Yey! A pack of rice vermicelli! Then an idea came to me why not use it to cook Sotanghon. I suggested it to Abbey and on instance, he made it for me to satisfy my cravings. 

How good it is? It is like home! Chicken broth surfaced and gave a magnificent taste in totality. Tasty! 

Now I am wondering, is there any food my husband cannot cook for me? Hmmm...
