Beard Papa: World's Best Cream Puffs

ABBEY: Wilma was so excited when she saw the ad of Beard Papa offering durian fillings on their puffs.

She bought the original and durian. We both took one puff and she told that it’s not worth it pertaining to the durian hype as the durian taste is lacking. Turned out to be that I got the durian puff. The flavor, taste and smell is strong. Maybe in the future I’ll be friends with durian. We exchanged and she liked it. The cream is subtly sweet and the puff is flaky like croissant.

WILL: I am quite shocked that we do not have Beard Papa’s review! Unbelievable that we missed it out! Oh darn! 

Of all the cream puffs, Beard Papa is my favourite. It has its somewhat crusty/crunchy bite and soft linings of bread inside. The custard is not too sweet and not that bland. The mixture is just right. Love them more when they introduced the Durian Flavour Filling! It is indeed yummy. 

Do not settle for less. Go ahead and treat yourself some Beard Papa’s cream puff!

Famous Amos Cookie Ice Cream

ABBEY: Famous Amos introduced cookie ice cream for Mother’s Day 2019. It is Wife’s day for me and Wilma. A cup costs SGD 3.80. It taste like ChocNut candy we have in Philippines. What they did is mix their cookies with vanilla ice cream. Voila! A cold treat to beat the summer heat.

WILL: There are ice creams and there’s Cookie Ice Cream of Famous Amos! This is in a limited number so get yours now! 

Oh ok. You want to know my takes on this. It is creamier than your ordinary ice cream and it has cookies from your favourite Famous Amos! Do I still need to talk about more on this? Haha! 

If you love Famous Amos, try their ice cream! Oh! It is quite pricey for a small cup! But why fret? Treat yourself! You deserve it!

Easy Falafel In Pita Bread Recipe

ABBEY: I met these vegetarian balls when we ordered on one of the Middle Eastern-restaurant at Clarke Quay. It made to the list of our weekly menu. Preparation will take time more than cooking. But all worth it.

Ingredients:
1 cup of dried chickpeas (soaked for 24 hours)
1 cup fresh parsley 
1 cup fresh cilantro or coriander
2 tsp coriander seeds
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and Cayenne pepper to taste

Pita bread
Sautéd onions

Yogurt sauce
200 ml yogurt
1 clove garlic (minced)
Salt and pepper

Toast coriander and cumin seeds and grind it. Mix all the remaining falafel ingredients in a food processor and have it to almost a paste. The texture will really depend on you if you want it chunky or not.
Put the mixture in the fridge for about an hour.

While waiting, mix all the ingredients for yogurt sauce and put in fridge.

Make falafel balls and fry them. You can also shape them as cakes.

Fill in your pita bread with falafel, onions and yogurt sauce. Enjoy.

VERDICT
WILL: Falafel was at my list since last year. And just last week, we got to remember to have it. As usual, Abbey had done the cooking. Hehe. 

It is amazingly delicious and to know that the main ingredient is a chickpea! Protein and fiber overload! Falafel top with caramelized onion and lemon-spiked yogurt! Yum! Do not forget the soft but chewy texture of pita bread! It is indeed a fulfilling, healthy and happy meal! 

This will be a healthy and cheap option for your diet!
