Annie's Peanut Ice Kachang

2008-03-22T22:00:00.002+08:00

This is a must try! $1.50 for shaved ice decorated with red bean paste, corn, bandung syrup and the most important, PEANUTS! A simple yet delicious desert. The last time I came here to eat ice-kachang was a few years ago.

Mr Prata

2008-03-09T12:57:00.004+08:00

I wondered how we ended up at this Prata shop. We actually walked from Botanic Gardens but we lost our way and spotted this Prata shop.

Mr Prata

The famous Italian Prata Pizza which consist of cheese, mutton, onions, tomatoe. $6 for two to share.

I wonder how did this simple prata became so famous? Anyway, it does taste good and most important, it is freshly made.

As for the ambience wise, do not expect the restaurant to be sparkling clean. Like people always say, "you find good food in dirty places".

Kuriya Market and Restaurant

2008-03-01T22:50:00.000+08:00

A Japanese style Marche (Kuriya Market and Restaurant) is in town. Wahomy & I decided to check it out after our photography outing.

At the entrance, you are presented with this chip that says "reserved". This is for you to place on the table when you go around to buy your food.

The table reservation chip. This is an innovative idea!

We ordered California Sushi. 8 pieces cost $6.80

The eel with egg on hotplate was terribly salty.

There are many other dishes in the restaurant. I guess I will check it out the next time. Lastly, I forgot to mention a cup of tea bag Ocha cost you $1.50. I wonder if we can refill the hot water? :)

2008-02-22T22:39:00.001+08:00

A place with nice ambience however an expensive place to dine in. They do have set dinner promotions like 3 course for $40 and 2 course for $35 to lessen your wallet damage. The service was good though...

Nice table layout.

Nice ambience

Caesar Salad

Prawn with Bacon. Timbre's serve better prawns. Bigger than what is shown in the picture above.

Maple Pork

Cherry Dessert. Its too sweet!

Brownie with ice cream. The brownie taste kinda fake. However, it does come with Häagen-Dazs ice cream.

Outback Steakhouse

2008-02-17T15:24:00.000+08:00

We celebrated my dad's post birthday meal at Outback Steakhouse.

Chocolate Thunder from Down Under
Its my dad's birthday but however because he is not a Citibank credit card holder, he is not entitled to 25% off his course. However, the nice waitress added a birthday candle on the brownie ice cream that comes free with spending above $75. Nice initiative!

Aussie Cheese Fries
Bacon, Cheese goes well with the fries. Thick and juicy.

Bushman Shrooms
"Shrooms" is what they called it. It is actually flour coated fresh mushroom deep fried. I actually like this dish. It is not oily and the mushrooms are fresh and juicy!

Ribs

Aussie Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenders made from chicken breast meat. Nothing fanciful.

Seafood sphagetti
Nothing fanciful.

Timbre @ The Substation - "Music Oasis within the City"

2008-02-14T21:00:00.001+08:00

It is Valentine's Day. I have made a reservation at this place 1 week ago. Nice ambience, good food, Timbre @ The Substation definitely has to be the best place.

Reservation via their website was easy and convenient. I got an almost immediate email confirmation for my reservation. Nice!

1 for 1 Erdinger during happy hours
What else can I say? Value for money! :)

Prawn
This was under the side order in the menu. I ordered this dish again. I simply love it because the prawns are fat and juicy. The bacon was fried till crispy but not oily.

Cajun Fries
Fries definitely goes well with beer, especially the thick ones like those shown above!

Four cheese pizza
If you are a cheese lover, go for this.

Timbre @ The Substation - "Music Oasis within the City"

2008-02-05T21:00:00.000+08:00

After a CNY photography trip at Chinatown, we pop by Timbre @ The Substation for a late dinner. Its a nice place and I definitely will drop by again the next time.

Timbre @ The Substation

Nice Ambience

Prawns wrapped with Bacon!
I get excited over this dish. The prawn is fat and juicy and the bacon was crispy. A great combination!

Thin Crust Pizza
Timbre's signature dish, thin crust pizza, was excellent! Well sliced and the cheese was toasted until crispy!

Muddy Murphy's Irish Pub

2008-02-02T23:53:00.001+08:00

It is time for a small gathering before Chinese New Year. Three of us Chang Yew, Huili and me. Muddy Murphy's Irish Pub was a nice place with good ambience.

Fish and Chips
The fish and chips lived up to its name. Meat was tender and juicy.

Spicey Drumlets
Nothing fancy about the drumlets. But its a all times favourite finger food.

Singapore Sling
Can't compared to the one I had at Raffles Hotel. It doesn't taste the same.

The Sweet Potato Place 地瓜村 (Suntec)

2008-02-02T23:47:00.000+08:00

Sweet Potato

I sampled the fried sweet potato. At first bite, it taste good but you get sick of the taste after taking a second bite. Wahomy went for the steam potato which is sold based on its weight. $4++ for the size of the potato shown above.

Superdog (VivoCity)

2008-02-01T18:52:00.000+08:00

SuperDog (Pork) $7.50
I love the bacon, cheese and sausage. A great combination.

German Bratwurst ($5.80)
I chose the spicy italian with onion toppings. The taste of the mustard and onions is too strong for me.

Fries
I love the fries. They are thick and lightly salted.

Most of the items they serve at Superdog contains beef. I can't try the Chilli Fries because the sauce contains beef and I do not eat beef! However, they do have a few choices that are Pork.

Pasta de Waraku (Marina Square)

2008-01-30T19:30:00.000+08:00

Calamari
Appetizer.

Umeh-Shu Soda
I love this drink! 8 bucks for this small glass.

Pasta with corn and butter

Seafood Curry
The gravy is thick and consists of squid, scallop and prawns. The aroma of the curry can awake your senses!

Herb spiced grilled chicken
Another great appetizer. Well spiced.

The overall dinning experience was good because of the food. As for service wise, I just cannot stand the waitress kept clearing our plates away when we just finished our food. The dinning table was also too small for all our dishes to be served at one shot.

Sungei Road Laksa

2008-01-12T14:00:00.000+08:00

This has got to be one of the best laksa around. You can drink the soup and lick the bowl dry. They cook the laksa using charcoal and not over the modern stove.

The price still remains at $2 per bowl.

Crystal Jade Kitchen 翡翠小厨 (Plaza Singapura)

2008-01-05T20:00:00.000+08:00

Garoupa fish

Diced Chicken cubes with cashew nuts in salad sauce

I had a bad dining experience at this Crystal Jade Kitchen outlet.

The waitress was 'pushy'. She kept recommending the expensive dishes.

We ordered 3 dishes which is fish, chicken and vegetables. Normally, the fish or chicken should be served first. However, the vegetables was served first. When we already finished most of the vegetables and rice, the other two dishes were not served.

The garoupa fish we ordered was terribly salty. The meat was tough and not tender at all.

Is this what we expect of Crystal Jade Kitchen?

Movenpick Marche Restaurant

2007-12-31T13:23:00.000+08:00

Today is New Year's Eve. Dining at Marche reminds me of its Rosti and grilled sausages. This is the usual I always had when Marche was still at Heeren. Swedish dining style. Great for gatherings.

Hidden in the food court at the basement of Parkway Parade Shopping Center, you will not notice this stall. They have been selling Mee Rebus, Mee Siam, Chin Chow and Soya Beancurd for more than 10 years in the premises of Parkway Parade food court.

Olive Tree Mediterranean Restaurant

2007-12-18T23:36:00.000+08:00

Wahomy bought me and my girlfriend dinner. Its a post celebration of my girlfriend's birthday.

Salmon

Prawn and Clams

Chocolate Fondue

Pastry decorated with Chocolate beads and a sprinkle of gold. The cake is average pandan cake. I ate all the chocolate beads leaving only the cake.

Crab, prawn seafood rice
The rice is extremely salty and the crab is not fresh.

Nice Coffee (Buffet includes free flow of tea and coffee)

Biscuit and Cheese

Mango Pastries and Cheese Cake

Mango and Chocolate Pastries (Include Traditional Christmas Cake)
Guess which one is the traditional christmas cake? Its baked hot with a bit of caramel sauce.

One good thing about Olive Tree Mediterranean Restaurant is that they serve great pastries. The rest of the dishes are lousy. They are salty and non appetizing. And the worst is that the seafood is not fresh.

Crystal Jade Kitchen 翡翠小厨 (Parkway Parade)

2007-12-09T15:00:00.000+08:00

Its my girlfriend's upcoming birthday and my parents suggested we have a meal together at Crystal Jade Kitchen.

Chicken Feet

Siew Mai

Char Siew Pau
I think Crystal Jade Kitchen is one of the restaurants that make great Char Siew Pau. The skin of the "Pau" is soft and tender. The char siew sauce inside the "Pau" is also well made. It is recommended to eat it immediately when served since it is freshly steamed out of the oven.

French Toast

The french toast is one item that is not on the menu. I spotted another family having this and I ordered one too. I simply love the thick toasted bread soaked in butter and honey!

Malan Noodle

2007-11-30T23:32:00.000+08:00

Had dinner at Malan after visting Sitex 2007 and John Little Sale.

Pumpkin Prawn Dumpling
Although the pumpkin prawn dumpling is steamed, I am surprise that the dumpling is very dry. Also, the skin is too thick.

Steam Pork Dumplings
Acceptable for my tastebud except as usual the skin is too dry.

Prawn Dumpling with Scallop

Went to have the hi-tea buffet with my parents and girlfriend. I find it quite value for money with the UOB credit card promotion going on. 1 adult dines free with 3 paying adults. $20.80 each. The buffet starts at 3pm and ends at 5pm.

Although it is a buffet, they still maintain a certain good quality in terms of the food they serve.

Jones The Grocer

2007-10-12T20:41:00.000+08:00

Sausage
Too dry and I cannot make out what meat is it.

Chicken salad

Lamb skewers
I prefer lamb cutlets to lamb skewers. Only the biscuit taste good in this dish.

Cafe Latte
They said they make the best coffee. Well, it is definitely one of the best coffee I had.
