[closed] Shin Yeh Bistro @Square 2

Posted on 21 August 2013 by lendeliz

Note: Shin Yeh Bistro has ceased operations at this location.

We were actually thinking of having dinner at Zhou’s Kitchen at Novena but it has been replaced by Shin Yeh Bistro! Since it’s also by Tung Lok, and we did enjoy Shin Yeh Restaurant at Liang Court, we decided to give it a try…

Claypot Soon Hock

Hubby was enticed by the claypot fish that was served to the table next to us, but we couldn’t find the item in the menu… Finally we asked the waitress and that’s when we were told that there were special items not included in the menu, including the Claypot Fish and Three Cup Chicken. Huh? Why so special? Anyway, the claypot fish is seasonal price and ranges from $5 to $9 per 100g of fish, so ask for the price before ordering!

The whole soon hock was deep fried and very delicious! There were also slices of beancurd, eggplant and mushroom, so this dish was actually quite filling.

No service charge, No GST, No tap water

No service charge, No GST, No tap water

It was a quiet Monday evening and we were the only diners indoors. Got a couple of Caucasians outdoors, so we practically had the entire place to ourselves.

Western, Thai and Indian cuisines are served here, so we ended up ordering a beef Phad Thai, Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer and some garlic naans. There was a beer promotion, so we ordered a glass of Kronenbourg 1664 to share (mineral water costs $1 nett per bottle).

A simple place for meals

A simple place for meals

It’s a Monday evening and I had just finished a walk/jog from workplace to Botanic Gardens, and met hubby at Botanic Gardens for a meal at Cluny Court just beside Botanic Gardens.

Incidentally, Cluny Court is a 2-storey old building located just next to Botanic Gardens MRT, the French Embassy, Serene Centre, and across the road from Adam Rd Hawker Centre. This beautiful building houses a variety of shops, including Cold Storage, da Paolo Gastronomia, Brill, Bar Bar Black Sheep, Simply Bread, and of course relish by Wildrocket!

Bacon and Toast Cup Egg

Posted on 11 August 2013 by weiming

So it’s the super long weekend with 2 public holidays, Hari Raya Puasa and National Day on Thursday and Friday followed by the weekends! We had intended to go somewhere to chill but we were too late to book anything plus it’s super expensive. What’s the next best thing to do? Have a BBQ party of course!

Presenting Bacon and Toast Cup Egg!

I invited our SSEAYP friends over on Thursday and we had a ‘BBQ with a Twist’ party. One of the ‘twist’ to the party was this Bacon and Toast Cup Egg that I have seen on TV and friends’ parties that we thought we should give it a try. It turned out yummy-licious as you can see from the picture on the right!

Let me give you the break-down of the steps with detail pictures.

First trip to Geylang Serai!

Posted on 7 August 2013 by lendeliz

We finally made it to Geyland Serai after talking about it for a rather long time 😛 We brought our niece along since she has never been there before too! We were initially quite worried about the crowd, especially since it was just a couple of days before Hari Raya Puasa, and after reading that people had to walk in single file in order to move around during the weekend o_O

Many stalls at Haig Road Market and Cooked Food Centre

We managed to reach Paya Lebar MRT before 7pm and basically just followed to the crowd to walk to… the largest pasar malam that we have ever seen…! Perhaps we were too early, or we must have gone to the less popular area, so it was actually quite quiet… which was good for us, since we could enjoy a leisure stroll. Ended up having dinner at Haig Road Market & Cooked Food Centre, and getting some snacks from the pasar malam after that.

La Ristrettos Coffee Boutique

Posted on 6 August 2013 by lendeliz

Little hide-out in Novena Medical Centre

This is a little hide-out on the 8th floor of Novena Medical Centre, with limited indoor and outdoor seating. Its actually quite lovely to sit outdoors with the huge overhead umbrella and greenery surrounding you when the weather is not too hot.

This little joint serves sandwiches and pasta, and of course, coffee! Heard that the coffee is excellent, but since I’m a tea-drinker, can’t comment on this =p

Crab and Angel Hair Pasta

Had the crab and angel hair pasta today. Tangy with a little heat from the small chillies, and hint of alcohol from the white wine sauce, it was a very delicious meal, worth the 20-min wait… it certainly brightened up my day =)

Our first blog post!

Us

Our friends are pretty amazed at the amount of food we eat as a couple… It’s not really that amazing if you noticed our very much expanded waistline… ok, mine more expanded than his =x His photos make people hungry! And we are beginning to forget some of the places we have visited, and the foods that we have tried… So finally, after 4.5 years of procrastination, we have finally set up a blog! Our blog on our little explorations… What we eat wherever we walk… Hope to capture our thoughts and memories for the many years ahead =)
