Rider Cafe @ Bukit Timah

This post was also from last month. We had our post Xmas and new year celebration together due to our busy schedule. We went to one of the popular cafe, rider cafe,  in town. It was rather inaccessible by public transport and more convenient if you go there by car. Reservation is highly recommended if not you will be waiting at least an hour on a weekend. It was alfresco style dining. The whole ambience was great on a new year day. We were really excited looking at the menu. And we decided to order the short rib hash, salmon benedict (special during new year day), pacific benedict, the usual and portobello burger for our mains. As for dessert, we had the chocolate cake, lemon posset, scones and the caramel brioche. As for the drinks, mocha float, summer fizz, lime cooler and a hot pot of chamomile tea. The pacific benedict was really good as blue swimmer crab was used and the meat were really fresh and goes well with the bread. The mains were really good. Next, the caramel brioche and lemon posset was my favourite. I feel the chocolate syrup on the chocolate cake was too thick for me and I am not a scone person and luckily the comments on the scone was nothing fantastic. We were really full and we proceed to our gift exchange session and I received a black t-shirt. Nice. It was really a nice place for brunch and I will go back again. 

Highly recommended.

Pappasan @ Dorsett Hotel

Last month, I bought a Groupon voucher for spanish food in Dorsett hotel. The place is called PappaSan. Interesting name right. The place was not crowded. We had some cold appetiser which was not bad. However, the seafood paella was rather disappointing. We did not manage to finish it. However, the fries and fried onion taste much better. Perhaps is due to the groupon voucher, the food served was nothing fantastic. There were some dishes on the menu which was rather tempting. Please go there for their ala carte if you want a less crowded place for dinner, otherwise do not buy their groupon voucher. 

Schneeballen @ Takashimaya

This post is to introduce one of the German dessert selling at the basement of Takashimaya Shopping centre.  I was walking around to search for some special gift and chanced upon this snow ball liked food. There were a lot of flavours to choose from so I take one of the brochures and browse through it. I find the steps to eat the snow ball quite special and decided to get one to try it. After we break the snow ball, the biscuit inside was coated with chocolate and I love it. The snow ball was definitely good to share with people as it will be too much to finish alone. I will go back and try other flavour. Nice dessert.

Bear Paw burger @ Scape Orchard

There was a new eatery opened at Scape. It was the Bear paw burger. I saw this burger in Taiwan and they bring it in last year. I bought 2 coupon to get discount for the burger set. The burger was soft and the fried chicken in between the bun was flavourful. There have french fries and bottle drink to go as a set. A good combination. There were a few tables around the eatery so there are limited seats available. Take away will be highly recommend. Another interesting food outlet pop out in orchard area.

Chock full of beans @ Changi Village

Recently, there were a lot of cafes in Singapore. I am sure this is one of the best cafe, Chock full of beans, I had visited in the east area. It was located at a corner of block 4 at changi village. There were about ten tables indoor and outdoor. The main reason why I went there was their 3D latte art which fascinate me. It never disappoint me. It was really nice and you will feel happy seeing the 3D art while sipping the coffee. The beverage took about 30 minutes and it was worth the wait. The toasted mushroom was really good as an appetiser. The pasta and pizza were equally good. This cafe served good food and coffee. Highly recommended to go if you are staying in the east area and cafe lovers.

Rose Veranda high tea @ Shangri La Hotel

It's been a while since I updated my blog and I will try to update frequently. This post was an afternoon tea with my loved one at Rose Veranda @ Shang ri la hotel. It was during last year festive period. I made my reservation online and got a 15% discount. The ambience of the hotel was great. We had a window seat and the couch was very comfortable. After we had ordered our tea, we went to the buffet spread. There were assorted sandwiches, chinese dim sum, self made salad and seafood salad, quiche, fried chicken wing, salmon and tuna sashimi, assorted burgers and the most importantly assorted desserts and chocolate fondue. The sandwiches and seafood salad was good. The desserts were quite decent and I liked their bread pudding. The chicken wing was equally good. It was a really lazy afternoon after the meal so we had a rest before leaving. The high tea was until 5pm. We had a walk in the hotel and came across this Ginger bread house selling festive goodies. We took a shuttle bus, which stop between scott square, sheraton tower and shang ri la hotel, rather to walk down the hill. Definitely a good place for afternoon tea with the nice ambience and quality food they offered.
