Mandarin Court Dim Sum Buffet

 

Gotta thanks PJJ for this great ala carte buffet treat at the Meritus Mandarin. Especially enjoyed the Peking Duck amongst all the other good tasting dim sum.

Graze-d

Read a bit about this place, just below One Caramel at Rochester Park, so we thought it's a must-try. Tried the Pork Shoulder Sandwich and Atlanta Scallops. The menu variety was rather limited, and these two were just alright for us, although the price was quite high we thought. And so we thought, this would be one of those places we grazed and not come back again LOL

High Tea with Beautiful Touch of Colours

 

 

The decor at The Barracks impressed me more than its buffet spread. I appreciated the every little details put into colouring the place with flowers, vintage books and English tea cups that made it felt like in the home of some English family.

Vintage High Tea @ Barracks

 

 

The high tea buffet at The Barracks was something I had always wanted to try and I finally got to do it today while enjoying my relax Friday at the beautiful cafe. It was a raining afternoon while we were there between 3 to 5pm. Initial impression was that "there are a lot on the spread" but soon after 1 round of the items we ran out of choices pretty early. Partly because some of the items such as chocolate cakes and cream cupcakes were things you would not take more than 1; while some more popular ones depleted fast on the tables and were not replenished timely. On the whole, I would consider it a "tick on my box" for this while I would still say that it was not too bad.

如 Caffé

 

Just the way she is, Caffé never fails to melt my heart even when make me angry sometimes.

Rakuzen Tampines

 

 

Always enjoyed my visits to Rakuzen at Millennia and it was a good news that they opened a new outlet at Tampines near the central. Quiet spot and good for me to enjoy dinner!

"Little Part 1"

 

If not for online food reviews, we would not had discovered this short stretch of shophouses amongst the private residential area next to Thomson Plaza. Situated at Adelphi Park Road, a Little Part 1 Cafe was the only cafe along that stretch, offering a cosy laid-back place to eat, drink and relax. While their food would not be considered outstanding, but they would be popular more for their selection of beer choices. For a person not so into beer, it would just be a tiny little part of my food adventure.

KU DÉ TA Singapore

 

 

Enjoying the view from 57th storey skypark was memorable, but dining up there was certainly even better. For a cost, the Tasting Menu at KU DÉ TA was a splendid way to enjoy some of the best of their cuisines at the top of Singapore.

City in Black and White

 

 

 

The contrast of the city lights against the dark night could be quite a sight too.

Night Scene from MBS

 

 

Not only the building of the MBS was iconic, the view of the city landscape was breathe-taking too from its skypark at 57-storey. One could truly bask in the city lights from its surrounding.

Black Velvet

Had gone to Classic Cakes to get its Mille Crepe but ended up choosing this instead as the former was sold out. Was impressed with it as the cake was moist and spongy while its cheese cream was smooth and light.

Flowers

 

 

Just everyday flowers we can find along the roads of Singapore. Wonderful subjects with vibrant colours.

Awfully Overdose of Chocolate

 

Had always wanted to try their desserts and tonight we got to do so. Ordered its Cold Poached Chocolate with Kahlua Cream as well as its Super Stack Cake with 黑 Ice Cream. The former was a really a thick slab of rich chocolate while the latter was good for the moist sponging cake, although the dark chocolate ice cream would no longer be a novelty as there were many others of such around nowadays. However, I felt overdosed with chocolate as there was nothing else but chocolate on the plates and simply too much of it. I had to say it was good but too much would be awfully unbearable too.

Treats?

The one thing that would bring Milo and Caffe together without fail, although I couldn't say always without conflict - treats. That would be when both of them were focused on the treats in front of them instead of each other's proximity. Wished they would learn to do so without the treats.

Lamps - 4 elements

 

 

Lamps or ceiling lights taken at 4 different restaurants, of 4 different elements: metal, crystal, glass, paper.

Megumi

 

 

 

Decided to dine at Siglap tonight and started reading up on what could be good there. Narrowed down to Megumi Japanese Restaurant had received numerous good reviews. Comparatively, it was indeed the most crowded place along the immediate stretch of restaurants. Their sashimi was fresh and cut was thick and generous. The seafood Maki was recommended, being warm and crunchy when served. Best of the dinner would be the Suki Yaki with Hokubee beef. The soup was sweet and tasty while the beef tender with its fine marble texture. Overall, it was a good dinner although the price a bit on the high side and I would compare it to Shinyu which served Japanese ala carte buffet for a more competitive price.
