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.

Butterflies

 

Had lunch at Din Tai Fung at the Marina Bay Link Mall today and took notice of their decor next to the entrance - strings of paper butterflies hanging that brought a feel of spring to the place. Must say I enjoyed the food as much as taking these butterflies.

Handburger's Duck and Lamb

 

For a change, we decided to try the duck confit and lamb burgers at Handburger. The verdict, either you'll love it or hate it. The duck burger, paired with orange marmalade, was sweet but not unusual. For the latter, you'll love it if you are into that distinct taste of lamb. So go for them if you want to surprise your taste bud.
