High Tea at The Landing Point (The Fullerton Bay Hotel)

A splendid afternoon spent over a traditional English Afternoon Tea with the buddies. 

We took the seats inside the building to enjoy the aircon while having a great view. (the weather was too hot to bear). An open concept where anyone and everyone could walk past. Nonetheless, it was still a nice place to immerse in.

Come, enjoy a (flask) cup of nice tea to start the afternoon tea session.

Choose from a list of tea or coffee

The afternoon tea was served on a three-tier stand and it made every food item on it look so delicate and yummy. 

A range of pastry from sweet to savory, from English to local, from cakes to pastry to sandwiches made me full by the time I had the last few bites. A sip of tea goes pretty well with the food while chatting and catching up with each other's life. 

Did i mention, they also some free-flow food items at the side which you can have many servings in the event that you simply love it or you have a great appetite! 

Our tiers of happiness
A nice place and great food for gathering and chatting over a cup of tea!

Modern Asian Fusion food @ Froth Singapore

We had always wanted to visit Froth for the longest time but was never able to find a time for it. Located at the CBD, it was never a convenient place for us to meet up since we don't work there, neither do we live near there. 

Finally, one fine Saturday, today, we decided to make it there after visiting the National Gallery. A short walk from Raffles Place MRT and there we went. 

Truffle Fries was never out of sight on the table when we sighted it on the food menu. And here we eat:
Truffle fries

What's for soup - Duck Kut Teh. Sounds special that we ordered to try. The broth tasted similar to the traditional Bak Kut Teh but the red dates used made it a little sweeter. Topped with a churro-look-alike yu tiao makes the presentation of the dish looks nice! Drink it while it's warm!

Duck Kut Teh 

My main dish was the Seafood Tom Yum Risotto. The tom yum taste was not very strong which made the main a nice one to start with. The creamy and tom-yummy rice was complemented with the  grilled prawns, flower clams and squid. Not stingy with the quality of the seafood made this dish a must-order! A satisfying dish !

Seafood Tom Yum Risotto 


Like I always say or agree to it, our stomach always has a special and dedicated compartment for desserts. Ending off the dinner with Taro Waffles topped with a scope of Earl Grey ice cream. The waffles were dense, and the earl grey ice cream was not overly sweet which, well, rounded up the fantastic dinner for us.

[Closed] Dim Sum at Tak Po (Smith Street)

Family day at Tak Po Dim Sum to enjoy some niceeeee food.

Best to savour the Dim sum when they were piping hot - no time for individual shots. Overall, the Dim Sum here tasted great.

Dinning at Prego


1-for-1 promotion brought us to this place before 6pm. We always welcome early dinner so that we can eat more later at night. 

Well, I ordered the Clam Vongole which was nice. Generous in the Clams and the linguine was cooked to my liking.

G7 Sin Ma Live Seafood Restaurant

After a nearby hike, we came to this place to enjoy the fruitful "exercise" day. 

We ordered the Dry Chilli Bullfrog (Buy 3 get 2 free) and sambal Kang Kong to share. 

Hot bubbling clay pots of yummmz and smooth porridge was great to enjoy after a long walk. Satisfying tender bullfrog meat together with the nice gravy and top them on a spoon of porridge really sealed it off.

With the downtown line, it is easy to get to this place.

8 E!IGHT korean bbq @ Clark Quay Central

Come, the 3rd time at this wonderful Korean BBQ place. Choose from the 8 flavours of Mangalitza Hog and wait to be served.

we only managed 4!

The service crew will help to bbq and cut the meat into bite size for us to indulge in. Kimchi and bean sprouts are served unlimited to go with the bbq meat. Well, they shared the same sizzling plate. Next to the bbq, we ordered a tofu stew. It was nice too.

Will I be back? Definitely.

SALUTE coffeeshop @ ALEXANDRA

Found a heartland eatery - Atas food choice but at affordable price. So off we went to Salute Coffee Shop @ Alexandra - near to Ikea and Queensways Shopping Centre. 

As the setting goes as a Coffee shop, this place contains many uprising (in my humble opinion) food eateries coming together. 

We managed to try out 3 stalls there. Well, when there's food on the table, photos seems to be less. Reason being, (1) I want to start eating straight away. (2) You got to try it out yourself!

1. Two Wings
Because one just isn't enough. 
Actually I have not really heard from my friends so that day was really the first day I get to know about this stall. So with no reviews in my head, I tried out the wings. Well, the wing tasted okay to me. It does not taste oily though it was deep fried. The crust was a little less flavour. Okay, one is enough for me! 
2. Stew Kuche

Ordered the Aglio Olio as we wanted to have some carbos for the night. Had a pork sausage as well. The aglio olio was al dente and flavorful. Paired up with the pork sausage was great. The pork sausage was juicy but a little oily. Okay, I think this place is more for its Pork knuckles and so, well, I will be back to try it out the next time! 

3. Sea Salt - The Seafood Place

Mussels was at the top of our mind when we saw this place. As we ordered the Vino mussels. This was quite disappointing as we had tried better ones. Not much of the white wine taste and aroma and the whole dish tasted quite bland. 

Next up is the Garlic Cream Prawns In A Pot. This was much better as the sauce was tastier. Dip the the complimentary baguette in it and it tasted great. The prawn was fresh and juicy. So thumbs up to this dish!

Last on the table went the Deep Fried Sea Bass with Mango Sauce. This is served with potato salad and broccoli on the side. No photo of it as we were busy eating away. The sea bass, I have to say, is really fresh. There is no 'muddy' taste and the mango sauce supplemented it well.

Will I be back? Definitely to try out other stalls!

Ice Cream Shack @ Bukit Merah Central

Bukit Merah Central is getting more and more happening with more eateries gathering at the town. First is Pan Delights, follows by The Bakery Chef. Tonight, we were at Ice Cream Shack enjoying some waffles and ice creams. 

There is a wide range of ice-cream flavours to choose form at the display counter. You can get to try the different flavours before deciding on your chase. Interesting flavours like Lychee Rose, Sarsi Float, Sea Salt Caramel is on the menu. Not forgetting the usual favourite flavours like Cookies N Cream, Chocolate, Mango and D24 Durian. 

The Gelato Ice Cream is mentioned to be handmade, low fat and low sugar. So less guilt having more scoops of ice cream topped with waffles. The waffles are crispy. Real crispy. You cn hear the crispy-ness when you cut through the waffle.

We had the Cookies N cream and Hazelnut. Will be back for more!

The Refinery Singapore @ Jalan Besar

The Refinery Singapore is at an "Industrial" area at Jalan Besar. I google my way but still felt a bit lost when trying to hunt for the place. Wasn't too bad when their address is hugely displayed on the wall of the building. Okay, cannot really spot the name of the shop as it is printed on the OIl barrel container. 

Enough said of the location and name of shop, the service there is great. The service crew would pop by the table to ask if we need to order more drinks, more food. They are not those pushy kind but I think they just wanted us to enjoy our night out. Take note that they do not have service charge but tipping is appreciated. 

Alright, time for some food review. We ordered:

1. Agedashi Tofu ($10)
A 4-piece tofu which is housemade according to the meu. They were crispy on the outside but smooth on the inside. The accompanying dashi stock complemented the whole dish. It was not too salty and good to have after the grilled skewers as it was light and less oily.

2. Dry Ramen ($6)
Dry Bar Chor Mee -kia as proclaimed by my friend. That is the local delight of minced pork with thin yellow noodle. Okay, just share this small bowl with your friends. A couple of bites was fine but not to the whole bowl to myself. It was too oily in my opinion. The pulled char siew was not too bad. 

3. The Refinery Sampler ($36)
It consists of  4 skewers of  Chicken Thigh, 2 skewers of  “Shiok Bak” (a.k.a roasted pork),  2 of Shishamo and 2 of Shiitake mushrooms. It took quite some time before this plate of sampler reached our table after the order. The Chicken thigh was too salty to my liking. I'm not sure if it was the sauce or the marination. I quite like the "shiok bak' and the Shisahamo. The roasted pork was tender and the shisahamo was great but to my opinion, a little over grilled. The shiitake mushroom was not 'juicy and a little salty. 

4. Seaweed Fries ($12)
What can go wrong with french fries. This reminds me of the seaweed shaker fries that McDonald's's offers from time to time. I guess the special thing to it is the Wasabi Mayo Dip. Not too strong that will choke us but it compliments the fries. 

Agedashi Tofu, Dry Ramen, The Refinery Sampler, Seaweed Fries, Asahi Black Pint

This place serves quite a variety of alcoholic drinks. Non-alcoholic drinks were minimal. For coffee-lovers, sorry, this place does not serve coffee at all. Maybe coffee does not go well with grills? But maybe, who knows, in future, they might offer that. So, just wait and see!

Waffles @ Craftsmen Specialty Coffee

Coffee cafes are really brewing in Singapore. Was out in the Eastern part of Singapore and found Craftsmen Specialty Coffee quietly tucked in a corner. I guess I will never notice its existence if not that I passed by on the other side of the road. 

Weekday is really the best time for cafe hopping as it is not especially crowded. You get to choose seats, you get to people watch and you get the time to slowly take your order. 

Finally I decided to go for the waffles as they were not serving the croissants that day. "Sunshine" is the name to the waffles where yogurt and berries added to the taste. Wasn't really the fluffy kind of waffles but the healthier choice of yogurt and berries made the overall experience a nice one.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do - so at a coffee cafe, drink a cup of coffee? Well, I did not. Blame it on the hot weather outside, I seriously needed a cold smoothie - sweet and cold to ease the hotness and stickiness!

Okay, will I be back? Definitely, to try out their coffee and did I mentioned, they do sell craft beer too. A beer and a brunch, how good does that sound? Be there, soon, I hope!

New Menu @ TCC

TCC once again. I guess this is a place where I can visit many times in a year and not really sick of the food? Not sure why, but my friends seems to like it there for a casual meal. 

Good thing about TCC, they do change and update their food and drink menu. This time round, we got to see the new menu. But well, not every item that were removed from the menu were not popular. My friend was looking out for her Salmon Mentaiko Pasta but it was being phased out this time round. I wonder what did TCC base on to update their menu. 

Okay, in my opinion, I sort of think that there are lesser food items in the new menu, not sure where, but just have a feel. Maybe this helps the ingredient procurement process and help to reduce cost? 

So, I took the step to try out the new item - Clack & Clams Crayfish pasta. Not too bad, but the gravy seems too much for the spaghetti. It was more like a 'soupy' pasta. But overall, the taste was good. The clams and crayfish servings was generous. Maybe, TCC should give a side plate for patrons to put the shell. Good customer service goes a long way!

Roti Prata and Milk Tea @ Casuarina Curry

Off to Upper Thomson for prata and there we were at Casuarina Curry. 

Since we were at a prata shop, we went for plain roti prata (aka roti prata kosong). This is the best way to find out the standard of the chef. Not the best prata I had, but it was not too bad. It was crispy on the outside but not that fluffy inside. Dipped into the curry to taste better. Added a milk tea to the meal to complete it. 

Roti Prata & Milk Tea @ Casuraina Curry 

Anyway, besides prata, Casuarina Curry also offers a large range of other Indian food such as Briyani, Murtabak as well as plenty of drinks. Everything is all priced very reasonably!

Will I be back? Yes, maybe for the other Indian food and maybe for the tidbits shop that is next door!

Cendol Melaka @ Changi Villge Road

Ice cold dessert is the best remedy on a hot afternoon.

Was at Changi Village food centre for nasi lemak and there was a banner in front of a shop located directly opposite Mizzy’s Nasi Lemak stall (at the food centre). It totally attracted my attention where it stated traditional cendol at $.150. Traditional from Malacca. I have been to Malacca once and I have tried the cendol too. It's really nice and so, I told myself to head over after lunch.

For the $1.50 version comes the basic version with only cendol, gula melaka and coconut milk. With additional cost, there will be toppings like red bean and even durian. 

Okay, at a glance, I can't see any shaved ice and it seems that there was too much coconut milk. Gave it a few stirs and the thick of gula melaka and shaved ice was mixed with the green jelly flour. The jelly was really smooth. The cendol was not very sweet to my liking. 

If you happen to be around the area, no harm popping by to have this dessert!

Nasi Lemak @ Changi Village Food Centre

Heard so much about the nasi lemak at Changi Village Hawker Centre but it was too out of the way for me to head there for just nasi lemak. 

So happen that my job gave me the chance to pop by the area and there I headed to find the famous nasi lemak. Basically I googled and Mizzy corner appeared a couple of times and so, that's it. I looked for the stall and okay, no queue for me. 

Well, I was a little disappointed. Not that it is lousy but after all the hype that I heard of, this really does not live up to my expectation.

First, the rice was normal. The egg was normal. 

The chicken wings was not bad, served ho and crispy. 

The ikan bilis was a little too salty. 

Well, the chili was the best - spicy and sweet.

But sometimes I wondered, why does a plate of nasi lemak with a chicken wing, an egg and ikan bilis cost so much?

Hoshino Coffee 星乃珈琲屋

Not the first time to Hoshino Coffee 星乃珈琲屋 at Plaza Singapura and the queue was normally long. I reckon is the waiting time for the food to be cooked and served to the table. I always have this mindset that Hoshino would prepare the food only when they received the order. Thus, it will always take more than 15 minutes for the food to be served. Thus, let's do some maths. If we took 5-10 minutes to decide what to order, than another 15 minutes for the food to be prepared, it will be 20-25 minutes before we started to eat. With another 15-20 minutes of eating and maybe another 10 minutes to dilly-dally a bit, it will be 35-45 minutes before the table can be freed up for the next diner. Woooow... 

Anyway, I always forget that the curry base served in Hoshino is cooked with beef. Thus, if you do not eat beef, then skip the rice section. I like the fact that the serving crew makes the effort (without fail) to remind diner of this clause - very responsible!

So in the end, the curry rice order became void and I ordered the Lobster Bisque Soup Spaghetti. So basically, drink the soup and eat the spaghetti. It's 2-in-1 dish, worth the $16. The spaghetti was simply al dente and went well with the bisque soup. With ingredients like tofu and prawns, this pasta simply makes it to one of the top place in my Japaneses pasta list. 

Desserts is simply a love-hate dish in this world. Chocolate Fondant cake with softee - a heavenly combination of the chocolate lava cake with ice cream! This lava cake took real long to be served - more than 15 minutes since we ordered it. I wondered if they actually started preparing only after the main course is being served or when we were half way through the meal. 

Cut the cake into half and see the chocolate flows out. Eat together with the soffee and it was marvelous. The portion was not that big, but was well enough for us to indulge in it. A nice way to end the meal.

I simply love the service received at Hoshino Coffee - the crews were attentive. Will be back if the queue is short!

Marusui Fish Market @ Vivocity

A small shop with limited sitting capacity but mind me, the menu is very extensive. It takes up a big blackboard of items ranging from ramen to rice bowls to fresh sashimi. 

Had the Black pork ramen as recommended by Roomie -  choose the soup base from three flavours - Kimchi, Paitan and Shoyu. I had the Shoyu soup based. 

Before the food arrived, I thought the black pork will be cooked together with the ramen and served with the ramen in a bowl. To my surprise, it was served separately. I have to say, the food is really yummy. The black pork is very tender and well-flavoured. Give me more plates and I have no doubts that I can just finished them in minutes. As for the ramen, it was springy and well-cooked to my liking. They are quite generous in giving the seaweed and mushrooms to go with the ramen. This combination is really fantastic! For SGD15, I confirm this is really worth your money!

I will be back, for more!

Dim Sum Breakfast at Chinatown

Woke up early for a dim sum breakfast at Chinatown Complex Market. We opt for 香味香港点心 as 旺角点心 is not opened at 9a.m. Okay, both are located just a few stalls away, so if you are heading there for lunch, I think you can try both to see which is better. 

Located on the second floor of Chinatown Complex Market, some might find it a little warm to eat without the aircon. But for the affordable price you are paying for, just bear with the temperature. It is self-service and once you order, they are quite fast in preparing and serving you the food. 

I am not sure how the queue will be formed if the other dim sum stall is opened for business, but there is quite a reasonable long queue at certain intervals - not continuous long queue, if you get what I mean. 

There aren't many dim sum items from the stall but the typical popular dim sum are on the menu. Each item costs $2.20 (Yes, just $2.20) which is really affordable and the freshness of the dim sum is not compromised in any way.

Here's what we ordered - those served in plates are from other stalls - mainly because Mummy thinks they are good! 

Dim Sum- Yummy

The dim sums are served piping hot! For the Har Gow (the dumpling in white with prawn fillings), each plate serves three pieces and it was fantastic. The thickness of the skin was just right and the prawn was fresh and crunchy. Good. For the Siew Mai (the dumpling in yellow), it comes in four. The crunchiness of the dumpling was from the water chestnuts and it complements the fresh pork fillings. Each bite was great! 

For those who like savoury food, can try the chicken feet, the pork ribs and the bean curb skin . For the three items, they are really well-marinated though I found the bean curb skin a little too salty. 

For those who likes fried food, you can tried the fried dumpling. I did not try it so I could not comment further. 

Alright, jumping off to the next stall, we ordered the glutinous rice and the yam cake from 佳记美食. The queue is continuously long. But they are really fast in preparing the orders. Both items are not too bad though I thought they would be more generous in the ingredients. Not every bite of the glutinous rice is completed with peanuts and for the yam cake, I tried better ones elsewhere. 

Last but not least, coffee time! There is a queue in front of the stall - 五十年代. We just joined the queue. Not bad a cup of milk tea which was better than yakun and well, cheaper at $1.

Introbar @ Swissôtel The Stamford

Friday the 13th!! Another gathering with the Randoms and beer is not out of the menu. First time for me at Introbar - Swissotel The Stamford. 

The ambiance here is pretty good and the way they place the sofa seats are great. It is very spacious and you have a personal space just for the group. The whole environment was pretty relaxing, the music was not that loud that you have to shout across the table. A pretty nice place to chill out on a Friday night. 

It does serve food here, so no worries about not having dinner before you head over. Everyone has to order at least a drink, it is okay that you do not drink alcohol. They do serve tea, coffee and soft cocktail. 

Here, the happy hour is from 3pm to 9pm and all the beer are half price. If you are a sports fan or now, being the World Cup season, Introbar do have ‘live’ screening of World Cup 2014 now and of course at other times, 'live' screening of other sports program. 

Alright, I ordered the Corona Lager. As recommended, it was a pretty light beer. Fresh lime is served together in the neck of the bottle to add tartness and flavor. And I learnt something new - it was said that Corona is bottled in clear glass where light can 'reach' the beer easily. Thus the lime helps to mask the altered taste resulted from the exposure to light by the virtue of their packaging. Quite interesting. But for me, the lime simply gave a refreshing taste to the beer. There is complimentary snacks (chips, pretzels and olives) which is free flow. So good for sports fan. Watch and eat and drink at the same time, definitely being kept awake all the time.

Food is the main thing I look forward to. We ordered burgers - If you do not eat beef, well, there is only 2 choices - namely the El Mexicano (Chicken) and other vegetarian burger. I had the chicken burger. It is served with french fries, coleslaw and pickles. 

Here's the pictures of our burgers. 

Introbar Swissotel The Stamford
The 4 burgers chosen from 6 on the menu - each come with fries, coleslaw and pickles

Here's my burger close up. Personally, I find that the chicken is too tough to my liking. Not the best I had, but seems that it is the only item on the menu for me. The chipotle sauce was not that much to cater for every mouth of the burger.  It is a little spicy , so do take note of that. They should be more generous with the lettuce though. However, for the burgers, there are some add ons, so do take a look to make it a more appetizing burger.

Best of this place, I guess Introbar might not have reached out to many people yet and thus, is a less crowded place in the area now. I hope it stays this way, for my sake! I will definitely come back again, maybe after a well-deserved dinner for a drink!

:pluck @ Club Street

Friday nights out with the Survivors.... After a change of plan, we decided to head down to :pluck at Club street. This place serves food in Tapas style where people come together to eat, drink and mingle instead of focusing on one's food!. Indoor seats are just by the bar where there is an open-concept kitchen and bar. But we chose to sit outside for the relaxation!

Food are served in three different sizes - small, medium and (For Two or More) sharing. Well, though it is of different sizes, the dishes in each category are different. 

From the small category, we had the Seared Scallops, Roasted Apples & Hazelnuts. There are only three pan-seared scallops with roasted apples and hazelnuts. The scallops were tender and were perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the apples. The portion was really relatively smaller. 

For the medium category, we ordered the Whole grilled squid with a crisp block of Whole Grilled Squid, Saffron Rice. The squid was thinly sliced and was very much tendered rather than chewy. The saffron rice was quite special, crispy and nice. But it got soaked in the gravy and lost its crispiness at the end. 

Next up was the Roasted Rump of Lamb with Spiced Chickpeas ($28), which came with a watercress and pickled shallot salad. The lamb was quite tender, not those super chewy nor tough. It was very well flavoured and the chickpeas gave the taste a twist in its own way. 

Finally for this category was the Braised Pork belly with roasted potato and asparagus. A very well-balanced dish with both meat and vegetables. The Pork belly was not that sinful afterall. It was very well marinated and the potato and asparagus really completed the dish. 

Last but not least, we ordered a smoked salmon dish under the sharing category. The salmon was very well 'smoked' and when you cut it, it simply falls into pieces. Very well done for salmon!

For the drink, we went for the Signature Cocktail - The Concubine. Noted that it is a sweet vodka-based drink with Cointreau, five-spice syrup and Kaffir lime leaves. But I find it quite bland. Not sure if the plenty of ice has diluted the drink, I did not really like this drink. Well, maybe a beer would never go wrong at times!

Total damage for not-a-very-full dinner was around $230 for three persons. Will I come back again? Yes for the lamb and salmon, but not in near future!

TCC Time!

Had wanted to try TCC's breakfast but we did not know that TCC Vivocity does not serve breakfast. What a waste. Thus, we had to go for the usual menu which I have tried many of the dishes. 

So today, for a change, I ordered the Scallop and Baby Crayfish Baked Rice. It was served fast, way faster than the pastas which the rest ordered. I almost finished my dish before theirs were served to the table. Well, this baked rice was not bad. TCC is quite generous with the ingredients. Every mouth was almost completed with the japanese rice, the scallops, the baby crayfish and the shimeji mushrooms. The seafood was relatively fresh. But I guess, the salad garnish could have been more so that it will neturalise the cheese taste after half the bowl was down the stomach! Not a bad dish, should try!

Sis chose the Prawn Cheese-a-toast to share among us. I did not much impression of me having this dish previously. It was really a seafood treat for the day. The baguette slice formed the based on this baked dish topped with prawns and cheese. I thought the baguette slice could have been crispier. The prawn was almost the size of the baguette which I thought was great!

Last but not least, a drink to complete the meal. I chose the Litchi Raspberry Duet which is a smoothie blended with raspberry and lychee. And to make it better, they decorated the drink with the fresh fruits as well. You get to drink and eat them. It was a little bland, I thought. 

I really would like to try the breakfast someday though!
