Middle Road Pork Ribs Prawn Mee (Queen Street)

Middle Road Pork Ribs Prawn Mee is located in Bugis at a (2nd to be precise) coffee shop behind Iluma. It is weird that there is another similar stall located at 16 Sam Leong Road with the same name, dishes, prices and even opening hours. Does anyone know if these 2 stalls are related?
Signboard with Menu
Middle Road Pork Ribs Prawn Mee is located at the corner of the coffee shop. Blocked by a pillar of wall, customers will not spot it unless they walk into the coffee shop.
Looks like this stall has been advertised (endorsed) in the newspapers in the past.
Prawn Pork Rib Noodles $4.00
Ordered the Prawn Pork Rib Noodles for $4.00. Ingredients include noodle, prawns, pork ribs, beansprouts and lard. The prawns small and de-shelled were firm and sweet. The pork ribs despite the many pieces given was hard.

The broth was brown in colour, clear and on the oily end. Likely made from prawn heads and pork bones. It's taste was unique; almost like bak kut teh soup mixed with prawn soup.

Overall, I felt that this bowl of prawn noodles was yummy and unique (broth). It would have been much better if it was less oily.

Island Creamery (Serene Centre)

Island Creamery a ice cream parlour specialises in producing freshly made premium ice creams with local flavours. Premium ingredients are used with no artificial flavours, colourings, preservatives, eggs or gelatine. 
I visited Island Creamery at Serene Centre, located at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Farrer Road. Island Creamery and Tom’s Palette seems to have similar branding. But the key differentiator is that Island Creamery is known for its local flavour ice cream such as Teh Tarik, Pulut Hitam, Pineapple Tart, Holicks and Bandung. The lastest addition they have is Bak Kwa ice cream!

Menu
Another differentiator is that besides Ice Creams, there are Ice Cream Cakes, Baked Alaska and Mudpies.
Fridge full of Ice Cream Cakes, Mudpies and tubs of Ice Cream for take away
Double Scoop Ice Cream [Pulut Hitam (left) & Nutella (right)] $4.50
We ordered the Double Scoop Ice Cream with the 2 flavours Pulut Hitam and Nutella. Pulut Hitam is also know as Black Glutinous Rice. The Pulut Hitam ice cream taste just like the real thing! Whoever though of making this dessert into an ice cream is a genius! The Nutella was good too. I wish that there was more chunks of Nutella in it.
Mud Pie $4.80
Top to bottom layer of ice cream: ReversO, Cookies'n Cream and Burnt Caramel)
The Mud Pie is highly recommended by my sister. The top layer and bottom layer is covered in Oreo crumbs. In the middle, there are 3 layers of ice cream namely; (top to bottom) ReversO, Cookies'n Cream and Burnt Caramel. The Mud Pie was superb! I like their crunchy Oreo crumbs. And it certainty helps that their ice cream is fabulous too! Another must try item!

We decided to buy a tub of ice cream back home, had a hard time deciding what to buy.
Used to pack the ice cream
Tub of Nutella Ice Cream $9.00
Tub of Nutella Ice Cream $9.00
After hesitating for a long time, we decided to buy a tub of Nutella. We were torn between buying Pulut Hitam or Nutella. This time round, I felt that the Nutella taste slightly different from the one I had at Serene Centre. It was more diluted with much even lesser chunks of Nutella. Do note that the ice cream has to be consumed within 3 days as no preservatives were added.

I wish that I live near Island Creamery. However, I am putting up in the north and Serene Centre is located too far away. If not for that, I would frequent this ice cream parlour for its Pulut Hitam Ice Cream! If you are in the area, try the ice cream there!

ps: Readers in Indonesia who happen to read this, Island Creamery has opened a Indonesia (near Jakarta)
