Westgate, at last

One of the places in Singapore that I rarely touched is the west area.
From the area itself, it's the other side of Singapore that is very far from where I stay, and the thought of traveling there just puts me off already.
I mean, sitting through the mrt/bus is boredom and long enough, and to travel both ways, I give up.

So finally when I went to Jurong East after omg so many years, it definitely changed a lot.
And finally to say I have visited JEM and Westgate.
It was a convenience trip there since I ended school late that day, and bf's camp is nearby. Taking the chance that we are already in that area, might as well head there for dinner.

The car ride there was fun, fast & furious and enjoyable.
Maybe to be honest that I enjoyed getting driven around, and at a fast speed. Makes me wonder what kind of driver I would be when I passed my license. Lol.
Windows down, hood open, music blasting and engines roaring, that's the way to go.

Our dinner place was one suggested by my friend, called Osaka Ohsho.

Their dumplings or rather Gyoza is what draws the crowd to their restaurant. Juicy meat inside wrapped with dumplings skin, together with a bit of soy sauce.. Aww, the combination.
The terriyaki chicken set I ordered was definitely filling and I was bloated after the meal. To think 1/4 bowl of rice, chicken, Gyoza and tea was enough to fill my stomach.

After dinner, it was an exploration of the mall, wandering around between the courtyard area and air-conditioned area. Learning that the mall is mainly a food place and with a surprising number of Japanese restaurants inside.

A mini distraction on our exploration for these mini cheesecake. Damn good, soft, and full of flavors. Definitely a must-buy if you're there or anywhere else that you see them.
Now is my challenge if I am able to bake such cheesecake.
But only if cream cheese is on offer. Hahah! A baker on budget, unfortunately.

This waffles place caught bf's eyes when we passed by it. Both savory and sweet waffles offered, mainly a waffles place that put all kinds of ingredients.
We decided to go for the strawberry cheesecake since it's on chef's recommendations and well, it's cheesecake.
It was served in a mini frying pan, definitely a creative way for decoration and pictures as well. Though we were both surprised by the taste, it contained durian mousse inside. Something out of the ordinary since the menu didn't say it would include, confused, we asked the waiter and to find out that the chef had exchanged the contain inside. Though we didn't know why, with a weird language barrier and they didn't understand or explain but asked if we would like a new one instead. *shrug* In the end, bf said it's alright for the flavor, just that it was left wondering why did they add something else for our waffles.
To be honest, it was a nice combination but for a price of $9.50 I don't think I like to return back again to try other flavors/waffles. For that price, I reckon I am able to find bigger and better waffles. Definitely the portion size wasn't worth the money,and it was even smaller than my hand. On the other hand, they were quite generous with the strawberries provided. Perhaps to make up for the price?

One thing I learned is one trip down is enough. The bus ride back home was just too long and on a Friday, eventually we got worn out and tired.
