Food Recommendations: Mark & Spencer

Quote of the day: A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.

-Albert Einstein

If you happen to stop by at a local Mark & Spencer store, then you simply cannot miss these amazing cookies. They come in a few flavours: Cranberry and Orange, Blueberry and Oats, Pistachio and Almonds, Chocolate and Fruity Flapjack(It's just apricots and sultanas!). I favourite cookie is the Cranberry and Orange one. It's soft, crumbly and chewy with huge chunks of cranberries and hints of oranges. The blueberry one has blueberry pieces in it with the rich texture of oats and fragrance. I haven't tried the Pistachio and Almond one yet, but I think it's pretty good! Although the chocolate cookie is a little too sweet for my liking, it has a deep chocolaty fragrance and is perfect over a cup of hot tea and a good book.

Food Recommendations: ION

Quote of the day: Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
-Albert Einstein
I only been to ION once, but I know the food there is pretty good-and expensive-here are my top picks(I never really tried them,but they look quite good on the Internet, give me feedback if you have tried these food.) :
1) Taste Paradise on the 4th floor of ION-original outlet in Mosque St. Chinatown has great-modern Cantonese food. (And great fried carrot cake!!)
2) Canton-i on the 3rd floor of ION-this is the latest outlet from a very popular Hong Kong-Malaysian restaurant chain. They have at least a dozen outlets in KL and Penang under the Dragon-i(Shanghainese cuisine) and Canton-i(Cantonese cuisine) branding, but I suppose this is their first Singapore outlet.
3) The B4 food court is a treasure chest. Here are some:
Arinco King, bakery from Japan offering super moist, soft Swiss rolls filled with fresh creme. They come in 3 flavours- Salty Caramel, Matcha green tea and Vanilla. Don't miss the salty caramel one! (Special recommendation!)
R Burger-steamed mantou, with fresh beef patty, avocado and cheese. Interesting, although you'll have to have patients,the service is a bit slow.
