Supprette

Finally gotta meet the bestie for dinner after some ahem, nagging. Thank goodness for my friendly walkie talkie GPS friends to find Supprette at Kam Leng Hotel. Gotta say the decor was rather boutique hotelish, though the exterior screams sleaze. Even the restaurant screams of an up class coffee shop.

Scallops and mushrooms.

Am a fan of the juicy burger 

Even with the second serving of fries that came with this grilled vegetables and mushrooms burger, we ordered a third serving of fries. I must say best friends and fries is the ultimate combination ;-)

The Skirt wagyu burger

Thursday two in one celebration for dad at Skirt, W Hotel at Sentosa. ;) we were given a table right in front of their open kitchen so we were initially browsing quayside isle for more( the fish place looks worth a try), but still came back.would love to try the outdoor area (now open for dining) to chill at - kinda packed with standing guests.

The open face wagyu burger. Rather juicy piece of patty.

Awesome sides of spinach and cheese, garlic fries and earth mushrooms x2.

Grilled mixed vegetables. 

By the way each of the French horns in the stack is fake :p gotta love the avande garde furniture here still !

B@Rochester

Met C after an early day at ot :-) finally dated the girl out - picked her from moe and we headed to Rochester ( love the free p) before the dear girl heads to our neighboring country.

Love the quiet surroundings of Rochester ( just with j at Starbucks on mon). Fusion menu - Japanese at B.

Garlic white bait.

Black cod

Lobster soumen - half share :-)

Love the flavors of the food - not overwhelming at all and had a great balance. Quiet place too , many couples having dates... Was hosted well by the service staff there too... Will be back !

C tennis soon !

Goto Japanese Restaurant

First kaiseki meal with mummy on my second day of leave and the first spent locally :p
Highlight of the first course is prob the uber smooth and dense sesame tofu. The sashimi was divine - my tops was the scallop, mummy's was conch ( with plum sauce ). There was also tuna, flatfish, amberjack and squid.
Next was the highlight for me - striped jack it was very sweet ... Amazing . Prob the best slab of fish for me ever...
The other dishes of tofu and winter melon soup, grilled onigiri was pretty unremarkable.1

Dessert was a trio of sorbet, English tea mousse and fruit.
Doing nails together and having a great set lunch .. Can't wait for more mommy time ;) maybe shinji next time.

Black sesame tofu ,fried salmon, conch, lotus root

Assortment of sashimi
Yello tail, flat fish, Tuna, conch with plum sauce , (the most amazing) scallop and squid.

Striped jack- amazingly sweet

Mushrooms soup with egg tofu 

Grilled onigiri

English milk tea mousse, fruits, raspberry sorbet 

Omakase burger

We need to upsize the BURGER ! We had them mushrooms and cheese. uber juicy patties ! with truffle fries and sweet potato fries.
Will be back to try the others ;) and 'twas the day we discovered giant sold yummy Taiwanese fruit beers - we had the white grape and lychee ones after we froze them momentarily at J's house.

Now to try the Morton's burger and the Daniel boulard monster......

Strangers reunion

Brunch two weekends in a row at the same place, in scrubs. Respite outside is always great, especially when two is company and three is a welcome crowd;) thanks for being a sport y'all;)
Magic first weekend, soy mocha second weekend and I'm a new fan of the eggs royale here ( after the yoghurt which has sadly lost its bulk of the granola). If you order eggs here, you should come in groups of two for they only have two stoves in their tiny kitchen ! Everything is tiny weeny here, their chairs (or rather stools ...) , tables etc... Can't wait for them to expand :)

French ladle

Scopes am/asc pm, finished on time and for once, full attendance on the dot at dinner place , French Ladle at Pandan Valley condo. Love the convenience here- near home , free parking right in front of the restaurant.

Excellent warm and cosy atmosphere, felt like I was being hosted for a dinner at someone's home. Lots of magazines to browse too, am sure it will be nice to hang around post brunch on a weekend. We shared the truffle fries ( with lots of Parmesan cheese ) and French onion soup. ( lots of sweetened onions ). I had the board special- the barramundi which came with mash and butter. Ended up koping most of xuans fries and salad after she was done with her steak:p Pek had a mushroom risotto.

Enjoyed our convos about human behavior and food webs haha. Can't wait for our next French date (prob at toots or shelter in the woods!)/dirty dancing.

Hatched

Slept in on Vesak and managed to roll out for breakfast /brunch/lunch / tea at a grand time of 3 pm. The late night at music matters was quite a killer:p

We went to Hatched at Holland Village - after we thought that the Park menu was too tiny( but I will still try that place sometime ). I had my usual eggs royale and j had a burger with eggs. I ordered a portabello mushroom and eggplants thinking it was an appetizer but it turned out to be a main-
Burger style. Kinda overkill before Tennis but thank goodness it was not another killer. Thanks garmaine for having us over, we didn't make it to Boyce in the end :p

Saveur

Today was supposed to be discovery centre iron man with the boys but dad couldn't snag tickets so we are here at the second outlet of Saveur at Far East Plaza, where Mei has been wanting to try for some time.

Thanks to the bro for coming early to snag the table ;) ordered many appetizers - doubled the salmon confit and mushroom cappuccino, and I had the sea bass, mom had the cod( realised I only took photos of the fish -.-) j had the duck confit and the other side of the family also shared another duck confit in addition to their individual. My dad enjoyed his beef loads. Can't believe I met m here ( with a half sized a !!) who couldn't make it to sushi bar. It was nice catching up that wee bit.

Thanks J for coming with mom and me to shop! Knew you were pretty knocked out from your half call :p

Can't wait to try le bisrot at stadium !

Foodbar Dada

Rabbit hole- one chooses to hoard memories and the other erases memories to cope with the grief of a lost loved one- will God be the answer to unite the couple in this process ?

Post rabbit hole, us four went to Foodbar Dada at Robertson Quay-made a reservation at 1015 pm and they very kindly kept the corner 4 seats for us. Just found out that the Prive group owns this very buzzing tapas bar.... Love the energy of the chefs and the patrons here- so reminiscent of Lolla's( J and I prefer the more sensual music at the latter though)

Started with the free crostinis, then we had the fried croquet balls. The best dish of the night has gotta be the grilled octopus and the black Mediterranean rice ... Now I'm a fan of octopus can't wait to try the sous vide version at Spathe ! The squid didn't quite match up to the smokey octopus.

The mushrooms with truffle and egg was also good , though not as earthy as Culina's. The duck burger was just wee too tiny for me to appreciate.

Had dessert at Laurents prior to the play with J where he had his first soufflé (it was after 8) - will prob try the rum and raisin one sometime !

Yay catalunya tonight !!

Jewel Coffee ( Rangoon Road)

Date with short after the meadows party with Chongs with atb and Marcus Schultz - my second breakkie food after macs ( and an awesome massage at Tang Dynasty out first 24 hour parlor visit )

Gotta love the soy mocha here ( Chongs !! Our soy coffee saga will continue here !) . Truffle mushroom soup was also great - will be better with bread.

Love the gratinated hollandaise sauce with my eggs florentine, had a nice crisp. Nat clearly enjoyed her capellini and we actually wanted to try the Octopoke salad ( which she eventually did and sent me the what's app photo which I very enviously put up cos it's so gorgeously plated!)

Revisit coming up soon. Such a meddie gathering , saw 2 mos( and H whom I bumped into at the one shenton outlet - we are big fans of jewel) and one retired fellow colleague. Admire the guts to drop a pre set path for a untrodden one to chase her dreams. All the best, join ya one day :-)

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!
