Brauhaus Restaurant & Pub @United Square

Posted on 27 February 2014 by lendeliz

We have always walked past this place but never got the chance to try the food. It’s either the place was crowded, or we were attracted by something else along the way 😛

Today, after getting disappointed by a new place (why invite us to try and not bothering to inform in advanced that half the food choices are sold out?), we decided to come here since there was no crowd.. Haha!

Live music started at 8pm, so we got to enjoy some music while we waited for our food. It’s quite a nice place to chill, and the singer tonight had a rather soothing and pleasant voice. This place boosts of the longest beer menu in Asia with more than 150 brands from all over the world, ranging from Asia to Europe to US. However, we weren’t in the drinking mood today 🙂

Cucina @Holland Village

Posted on 8 February 2014 by lendeliz

I think we are running out of food options at Holland Village! Despite us attempting to eat healthier because we were nursing not-so-good tummies from last night’s dinner, we ended up at Cucina Authentic Italian Restaurant for pasta…. Because we have tried almost all other food options along this stretch :p

This address seems to be for Amici Italian Restaurant, and hubby did saw the word ‘AMICI’ on the chef’s apron. Whatever it is, the place looks cosy enough with soft lighting and an earthly feel with rough bricks lining the wall. Not too many seats but comfortable enough to let guests mingle around. The kitchen has a glass window and we can see the chefs preparing the food from our seats.

Wild Honey @Mandarin Galleria

Busy Orchard Road outside

Busy Orchard Road outside

Went to run errands in town and found a breakfast place! The queue system was similar to Grub @ Bishan, and hubby was pleasantly surprised that the system knew his name after he keyed in his mobile number to join the queue. Turns out that both Wild Honey and Grub are under the same management!

Once Upon a Thyme @Square 2

Delicious pasta

Delicious pasta

Couldn’t quite make up my mind on what to grab for lunch and was just passing by the takeaway stalls at basement of Square 2. The pasta here seemed more appealing than the rest and without a queue, so that was how I decided on lunch 😛

The seafood pasta was cooked within minutes and still remained pipping hot in the takeaway container by the time I reached office.

The pasta was surprisingly delicious! The tomato based sauce was full of flavour and the herbs tasted refreshing. The generous amount of ingredients (about 3 pieces of fish and prawns each, and quite a few squid rings) and the al-dente spaghetti was quite filling, despite the seemingly small portion. It was a great lunch!

Ramen Keisuke Tori King @100AM

Very prominent noren

Very prominent noren

Since we were around the area, having just had coffee at Group Therapy, we decided to go check out that very famous Teppei restaurant in Orchid Hotel that we failed to make reservations for… The restaurant had opened up dinner reservation slots earlier on 2 Jan 2014 and the phone line was jammed up on the very first day with all slots from Mar 2014 to Jun 2014 taken up by the end of first day!

We were quite surprised by the number of Japanese restaurants in the area, and at Orchid Hotel, there were also a ramen place and gyoza place that had super long queues! There was no queue at Teppei, because you had to make reservations for dinner at the 21-seater… Haha! So we were just looking at the menu and a very friendly lady sitting outside the restaurant was giving us recommendations on where else to check out, and that we should come queue for lunch instead.

Since we weren’t hungry yet, we decided to heed the lady’s advice and stroll to 100AM next to Amara Hotel to check out Ramen Keisuke Tori King… Which also had a long queue… Pengz!

Group Therapy @Duxton

Interesting sign board

Interesting sign board

Ended work today around 4pm at Clarke Quay area and went over to Chinatown to meet up with hubby to enjoy the buzz of the festive season with only 2 more weeks to Chinese New Year! 🙂 We walked till our legs were aching and got ourselves 1.8kg worth of Taiwanese fruit jelly. Together with a laptop, they were too heavy and we decided that we needed some coffee therapy!

Did a quick search of cafés nearby on our Foursquare app and decided on Group Therapy. This cafe was tugged on the second floor along a long stretch of restored shop houses along Duxton Road, and we almost missed the small entrance had it not been a tip on Foursquare :p The door knob was actually an ice cream scoop nailed to the door… Haha!

The deco is very cafe-like, with some corners tugged with sofas and big tall tables lining up in the middle of the premise. Ambiance is cosy with soft music playing in the background, and the soothing lighting, together with sunlight from the windows made the place a very nice place for small gatherings.

Maxwell Food Centre @Chinatown

Posted on 27 December 2013 by lendeliz

We were in Chinatown this evening and decided to go Maxwell Food Centre for dinner. The place was still buzzing with people having dinner/supper and whatever in between. The queue at Lao Ban Beancurd though was not to be found. Guess everyone has outgrown dou hua already?

It’s Christmas Eve and we had lunch with my parents 🙂

Gotta say the ribs were still as good as ever, especially the Dragon Bone or 龙骨! It was not the soft soft nua nua type; rather, it was slightly firm to bite, we loved the texture! The free top-up of soup was also a great plus point! We love the soup here as it was not so overpowering with pepper.

The pig’s trotter was very soft today and the meat was literally falling off the bone, and this was quite different from our previous experience, where the meat was so tough! Dad said that we should request for the fatty type, otherwise, we would be given the lean type and the meat would be very tough. Now we know how to order the next time 🙂

Bhutan Day 10 – Paro to Singapore

[Here is the photostream of Bhutan 2013 Day 10, for those who prefer pictures to tell a story. 🙂]

Packed breakfast

Packed breakfast

We woke up at 04:00 in the morning to prepare for check out… I was feeling so cold and couldn’t get out of the bed, as usual 😛 So we had a super quick and hot shower, and I remembered to heat up all my clothes before wearing them (that’s about the only usefulness of the electric heater that was located so far away from the bed), so it was all good.

By the time we left our room past 05:20, Dorji and Milan were already waiting for us, with our packed breakfast 🙂

Bhutan Day 9 – Paro Tiger’s Nest

Posted on 20 December 2013 by lendeliz

[Here is the photostream of Bhutan 2013 Day 9, for those who prefer pictures to tell a story. 🙂]

We were super excited this morning as we would be spending the day in our attempt to reach Tiger’s Nest at an altitude of 3120m! The minute we stepped out of our room, we saw snow!!! First snow in the valley of Paro for the year! We wondered if this was an omen? Today, we used up 6 heat packs in total – 2 each for the 3 of us 😛
