Nearby Treats - Buckaroo's

 

Buckaroo's was a place I had not gone for a long while, probably for a few years, although it was only situated nearby at Andrews Ave. Still remembered the first time I went I was totally impressed by their grilled portobello mushrooms and caesar salad. However, the second time I went their portion reduced drastically and their quality of food went down. That would explain why it took me so long to finally go back again, and I was pleasantly happy I decided to do so as they re-instilled my confidence in their food. Located next to Woody's but I would say they were way better in every way to Woody's.

Garden Slug - Pet friendly!

 

 

 

This is one highly recommended place to dine and be able to do so with your pet's company. They are located along Telok Kurau where you'll find a cluster of pet-related shops. Back to the cafe, their food is as satisfying as how their desserts will put a big smile on your face after finishing everything up.

Nearby treats - Flamingg Mango then Woody's

 

 

 

Ok, there are good food places in the north without having to travel too far sometimes too. Flamingg Mango is one that I always enjoyed, for their tasty food and drinks, friendly service, relaxing ambience and nice music. After that, we proceeded to Woody's not far away too for a drink and some wings. Food and drinks there were not bad, but unfortunately their downfall would have to be their terribly poor service. So, tonight would probably be my last trip there after finishing up my outstanding voucher. Sorry for their lost of a otherwise would-be loyal customer!

Walk at Botanical Gardens

    

 

Brought the furkids for a last-minute short walk at the Botanical Gardens before settling down for dinner there. Although just a brisk walk, I enjoyed myself and believed the kids did so too by the grass and pond.

Casa Verde Dinner

 

 

Dinner at The Botanical Gardens on a Monday could be quite enjoyable without the crowd and the wait to get a table. Disappointed that we could not get to order our longed Buffalo cheese with parma ham dish as they no longer serve it. Damned. So we ordered a salad instead, with parma ham haha! Had their steak again, which was good; and went for their famous pizza. Verdict: Casa Verde definitely lived up to their reputation for good pizza~

Cotton Bleu 3

 

 

 

This was my 3rd dining experience at Cotton Bleu's. Their food still taste good, only regret after a few visits within a short period was that their variety was running in their menu. I also realised there was really no need to stick to their set, ala carte would still fetch around the same price range but with some variation from the usual starter, dessert other with their mains. My next visit would likely be when they feature some nice specials. But yes, I would definitely go back again.

Golden Mooncake

Ok I don't eat durian, but I bought this Phoenix durian mooncake for my family from Home's Favourite, entirely wrapped in gold with some supposed top grade durian inside. Ok it tasted good they say, I'm contented with my photo :)

Xiao Long Bao

Ding Tai Fung serves one of the best Xiao Long Baos in Singapore, at least those at a reasonable price. Every August of the year, you'll find them serving their heavenly chilli crab Xiao Long Bao, yes with the local signature chilli crab sauce. This year, they topped it up with another delicacy - Truffle Xiao Long Bao. Black as it looked when I bit into it, but the strong mushroom aroma of the truffle filled the mouth when the whole thing went into the mouth. Divine~ Pity they were only available for 1 month, and the Truffle one was exlusively at Raffles City and Marina Bay Link Mall branches only.
