Culina

Post call post cycle we finally had our first dinner date post trips..... Steak craving plus a recommendation and we were here for the ord treat. For a start ( and a very good one at that ) we had the quinoa, goat cheese, roasted pumpkin and hazelnut salad - great idea for something at home next time ! J totally digged his Kobe rib eye while my steak tartare tasted like a cross between bibimbap and a bk burger patty( when eaten with onions). The mixed wild mushrooms rocked out boat too, truffle fries will be for the next time we are back for the prime rib!

Artistry

Art gallery cum cafe serving Liberty coffee, we love the ambience here, feeling very at home with the folks here playing very good hosts. They are just starting their sandwich menu so no actual physical one ( they just rattle it off) so we had a roast beef sandwich - the ciabatta was amazingly airy and crisp, roast beef tasted awesome with the cranberry jam.

Cakes - some made in house like this awesome red velvet cake with coconut frills ( kels you will love this ! ) and pies courtesy of window sills pies- the chocolate mint one tasted vaguely of lemon curd and they very kindly gave us an amazing sea salt banana chocolate cake - that did us in it was amazingly smooth and dense. Loved the bits of sea salt.

Picked up accessories from Soon Lee - and one for kels too ;)

Off to dinner with J's gran!

Balzac

Sun brunch with the French trio- Pek picked me and we got lost finding the car park entrance to Rendezvous Hotel ( it's along Prinsep street ) and so did Xx so we ended up being much later but the icing on the cake was when Pek had to go back :( xx and i had the very awesome bread ( we ordered a second basket for another 5 bucks) and the truffled veal sausage salad whilst waiting.

Then the French onion soup ( sweet ! ) and the set came - croque, foie gras and the truffled mushroom omelette. The steak frites came soon after ( love the skinny fries). Desserts was of deconstructed apple crumble, chocolate creme brûlée and vanilla bean ice cream.

We loved the ambience of this place - the sexy French cafe music and the lighting of the high ceiling. Lovely place to catch up at. Thereafter we headed for nails at holland v before dinner at J's bro.
