Last week, my fellow colleagues indirectly coerced our boss into giving us a treat as we had hit our sales target.We found ourselves at Borshch Steakhouse, located in one of Singapore’s famous food palces Serangoon Gardens. From the appearance of Borshch, it seems to be a family-owned business and the interior decor is rather simple and reminiscence of a 80’s feel. The Russian restaurant (run by a Hainanese) appears to be quiet but there is a steady flow of customers, many of which who appears to be repeat customers.

That was where I saw the most unusual cake. It was called Alaska. The menu states it ‘serves two’, but personally I feel it was more of a serving for four.

The icing is actually foamy egg whites. The waitress surprised us by lighting a small container of rum and then pouring the burning liquid all over the cake. Notice the size of the cake using the drinks glass as a comparison in this picture.

The interior of the cake is actually made up of two thin sponge cake slices and scoops of vanilla ice-cream. The texture is light and sweet, with the occasional bitter taste of the rum. If it weren’t for the existence of such a cake, I would have classified Borshch Steakhouse as a normal eating place with poor ventilation.

Borshch Steakhouse is located at: 58 Serangoon Garden Way

I just remembered that a certain Shopping Spree organizer that we did a review on send an email to Cyrene, asking her to remove our review on them. Yes, for those who guessed it, the review is a negative one. It is just the way it is, if you cannot afford to have negative comments or reviews, then don’t render out below average services. It is common sense, I would say. Therefore, I told Cyrene to reply the spree organizer that our review and opinion stands and will not be deleted. Better shopping spree organizers deserved to be praised while lousy ones need to be criticized. I don’t really care even if they don’t want to give me a backlink. It is just not right to mislead my readers with misconceptions.

If you can’t take the criticisms, then don’t give us the chance to do that!

Another thing worth mentioning will be that, Orinity will focus more on Online Shopping rather than Making Money Online. I feel that leaving that to John Chow and Shoemoney seem to be more appropriate.

Cocoa products – read: CHOCOLATES, that is.

The previous times I spend on a whole lot of chocolates was as a welcome gift for Blue whom I had introduced to work in my current company and for my other darling Angie for a basic cheering up gift. This time, I spent the highest amount of chocolates – for myself.

I don’t know why I bear to spend so much on such ‘luxurious goods’ on myself, but I can guess the reason: I wasn’t in the best of moods a couple of weeks ago and chocolates seemed to be the immediate perk-up solution to whatever crap I was facing.

And so it goes, I spent about S$40 at Candy Empire (2nd outlet at: http://www.yebber.com/review/candy-empire-vivocity/) outlet at Millennia Walk.

The dark chocolate is slightly bitter but the milk chocolate centre is nothing to rave about. Basically, it didn’t even taste like milk chocolate but a texture more like praline. And this box (of 16 pieces) costs me S$13++! Expensive for a box of not-so-fantastic chocolates.

This box bundle from Trefin tastes more appealing (and price appealing) as compared to Cadburry’s Eden! Box of 3 (I finished the box of chocolate hearts) for S$7++. A pity that each box only has 6 pieces which makes it kind of difficult to share around a big group of colleagues.

I was kind of disappointed to see that the packaging had changed from a box to this kind of wrapper that reminds me of potato chips’ packaging. The change was probably made to make the contents of the chocolates more as I notice a significance increase in price too *rolls eyes*. About $8.60.This would be my second pack of Pods. The first time was when my girlfriends bought for me to try and I ended up aggravating my sensitive teeth. There are other flavours like Pods with Mars Bar and Pods with chocolate mint, but I still prefer the Snickers flavour because I love chocolate with peanut butter.. Which brings me to this..

My absolute love! A manager bought a pack for us to share when she came back from America. I was in heaven! There’s another brand which my girlfriend bought. However, this Palmers’ Peanut Butter Cups are only brought in by Jason’s Supermarket specially for events such as Halloween. Back to this Reeves brand – 2 buttercups for a hefty S$2.80. Blue says she saw caucasians buy them by the whole box! 2 boxes even!

For webmasters, Google PageRank is a mean to give a ranking their websites based on Google’s point system. My other website, AnimeArk, is a PR4 website. Orinity is still relatively new so we are still a PR0 for the time being. Every few months, Google will update their PageRank systems accordingly. However, the latest update caused quite a big commotion in the webmastering and blogging circle. Apparently, many established bloggers and webmasters got slapped in the face by Google with drops in their PageRank. John Chow‘s blog dropped from PR6 to PR4 and Mubin Ahmed‘s got dropped from Google’s search results which is even more puzzling. I would say that Google PageRank system is almost rendered to the point of being as useless as Alexa’s traffic ranking.

UPDATE: It seems that Google made a mistake with Mubin Ahmed‘s blog so he is back on Google’s search results.
