In short, we both agree that this gave a totally different perspective of the lemon meringue. Soft pastry skin rather than the crispy tart crust, not-so-sour lemon paste and creamy meringue. For those who dislike the sourness of lemon, this is a good reason to like a lemon meringue pie.
Lastly, nothing to rave about the ice-cream. Although the vanilla fragrance is sufficient, the ice-crystals present in the centre of the scoop was quite a let-down.

oh yes it looks flat as a pancake alright hehe. i was at double bay few weeks ago but didn't try any of their desserts. i'm going back for the scallops & the lemon meringue pie nx time!!
Maybe that is the difference between tart and pie? I am not sure...
You know wat, I saw double bay was striked off from your blog's foodie list and I have been anticipating your entry... Later I can't wait and told Yuan I want to eat fish =)
The scallops are so expensive... If my memory didn't fail me, it is close to $20++.
yep i still hv so many backlogs and i dunno when i'm gonna clear them. i havent even blogged abt bistro senso! r u going for brad's outing? i will be! the tapas look good and 23 bucks is just too good 2b missed =)
the scallops are 20+? thought it was 16 or something haha.
I thought the scallops were 17? ahha. oh well. I thought the lemon meringue pie was really good. But I'm qite sure that was a tart shell, somewhat a sable dough. As it lackd the airy crunch and buttery pores of a normal pie crust. But still, the base was good. And yes, I have to agree that the porportions made it such that the overall wasn't that sour. I thought all was good except for the icecream too!
I'm still thinking about the outing though... hmph..
Evan: Take your time, we enjoy reading whatever you post... Oh yah, Bistro Sense, I recalled the photos on flickr... Now they have a $12 set lunch on weekdays...
Brad's outing sounds good but I can only confirm on Sat... Yuan's dad's birthday is next week... so we have to be sure that there is no clashes... Hopefully, that one will be a dinner... I want to go to Brad's outing too... The tapas sure looks tempting and reasonable...
Sihan: Yea, I checked your HGW review but my vague impression is that it is close to $20, not too sure but I can't resist the desserts so scallops will be on my next visit... Moreover, Yuan is not a scallop lover, hai... basically, he doesn't like seafood...
I thought tart shells are crunchy while pies are softer, no? Anyway, for the base, I thought it would be better crispy since the meringue is soft, the filling is smooth... with a crispy base, the texture will stand out better... Guess its individual preference...
Yea, hopefully we can meet at Brad's outing... Really miss u guys...
