fArt tArtz Cafe @Expo

Country feel

Country feel

We don’t normally venture so far out to the East. But wifey was working (yes, on National Day somemore 😦 ) at Expo and since its National Day and I have nothing to do at home, I ventured all the way here to nua at fArt tArtz while waiting for her. 🙂

This is a cozy little cafe right opposite Coffee Beans on Level 2 foyer of Expo Hall 1. The seats are quite spread out and can easily occupy 60-70 people. Sofa seats are plenty and the beautiful decorations create a very country feel to this corner of the exhibition halls.

Many students can be seen studying here (and at Coffee Beans too). They are probably from ITE, which is just opposite, and schools in the Eastern area. I wouldn’t mind studying here too (but that era has long past me 🙂 ) with the nice ambience and high ceilings to drive the heat away. That is when there isn’t a high-volume trade show going on at the same time. 😉

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.

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!

Complimentary!

Complimentary!

The month is ending and so is our Ichiban Rewards Card, so we are here at nex to spend it away at Kabe no Ana!

This Japanese pasta and pizza restaurant is part of the RE&S Group of restaurants and this outlet at nex is part of its Japanese Food Street called Shokutsu 10. The restaurants/cafes here in the food street are Green Pumpkin Japanese Bakery, Green Pumpkin Japanese Bakery Café, Kabe no Ana Japanese Pasta, Tontei Pork Restaurant, Shimbashi Soba, Ichiban Boshi Japanese Restaurant, Men-Ichi Japanese Ramen, Yaki Yaki Bo Teppanyaki Restaurant, and Kuriya Japanese Fresh Fish Market. We often had a hard time deciding which one to try.

Today we let the complimentary items in our Ichiban Rewards Card decide and those on offer at Kabe no Ana looked more pleasing to us at this moment. 🙂

Chef at salad station

We were back in this vicinity again! This time we were at Gardens by the Bay and decided to go Marina Bay Sands for dinner. It does seem like we are trying to conquer all the Celebrity Chef restaurants huh? 😛

We ended up at Osteria Mozza today! Chefs Nancy Silverton, Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich (the botak judge from MasterChef) meld their prodigious talents to bring Pizzeria Mozza and Osteria Mozza to the heart of Singapore, and this is one of the 2 Mozzas in the world.

Only the counter seats were available tonight, but it was quite fun to watch the chefs in action actually 🙂 The waiter recommended that we try a 3-course meal and suggested to split up one portion of pasta into two instead of ordering two portions. What a good idea!

Table Manners @Changi City Point

Posted on 27 September 2013 by lendeliz
Perfect place for dinner

Perfect place for dinner

Happened to attend a conference at Expo today, so we planned to drop by Changi City Point to check it out.

Decided to try out this place coz hubby read that the burger is good! It was pretty crowded at 7+pm on a Friday, so reservations may be a good idea.

The restaurant is divided into a small indoor area and a bigger alfresco dining area. The tables are lined up into one long curved stretch rather than individually island-ed,  and diners sit on both sides of the long table, very much like in a canteen. This gives the diners a very communal friendly ambience and everyone feels like we could be friends instantly!

Chef On Wheels @Singapore Night Festival

Posted on 24 August 2013 by lendeliz

It’s our first time to the Singapore Night Festival (SNF)!

The areas were spread between Dhoby Ghaut and Cityhall MRT stations, so we decided to get off at Cityhall MRT and made our way up. We first walked past a street of food stalls, abit like a upmarket pasar malam, where food prices were very upmarket too 😛 Nothing caught our fancy, and it was also quite quiet… so we decided to continue on, hoping for better food options, while quietly keeping a lookout for restaurants along the way… haha!

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 =)
