Delicate French food at Joo chiat

Bonjour! I am hereby to recommend this french food located at joo chiat area. Its actual location is right at the corner inside the ali baba eating house, opposite the new katong mall or in front of awfully chocolate shop. I heard this place by liqi so I decided to give it a try myself. Had a hard time locating the place at first so decided to park my car and started to topo my way using my GPS. Finally, I reach the kopitiam. We ordered foie gras, duck confit and salmon. The food was served promptly and you will only pay at the end of your meals at the counter. To enjoy french food at such low price is very rare, furthermore it is tasty. Definitely, you must give it a try. I will be back for other dishes. After the dinner, we had our dessert and JOO JOO. JOO JOO is a place consist of three different restaurants (awfully chocolate, mooshi bakes and a Japanese skewer) We had an ice cream and butterscotch cake from awfully chocolate and a cream puff from mooshi bakes. A perfect evening with great food and dessert and the right companion!

Afternoon tea @ TWG (Marina Bay sand)

How I wish I could do this every day...... Enjoying my life having an afternoon tea session with xueting and June BB at TWG. We went to marina bay sand to celebrate xueting birthday and satisfy my cravings too. I ordered a sandwiches set and a ice tea with fruit juice. Very unique taste and very refreshing. worth a try. As for both ladies, they ordered 2 afternoon tea sets which consist of sandwich, tea and desert. The ambience's is fantastic and the crew is excellent with their service. Must definitely try their hot pot tea as the tea fragrance is very strong. Had a great afternoon spending time with them and enjoy good food. However, the price is abit steep. So sacrifice your pocket in order to enjoy this lovely afternoon at TWG. Haha!

Macaron lover

This post is to showcase the macarons I have from all over the world. Personally, I love sweet pastry and I happen to come across this small circular pastry one day and start to fall in love with it. So far, the best macaron I have try is from laduree. Some of my close frenz also got a chance to taste it as I buy from paris and bring back to singapore. More macarons to try from pique nique, Antoinette and sweet Artisan chocolate. Below picture are the macarons I have so far. Yummy!

dinner at momiji buffet

Last thursday, June BB and me went to momiji @ city square mall for a dinner buffet. It was located at farrer park mrt station. (purple line) It was a voucher bought from G market and each person cost $15. It was a sweet deal. The concept is quite similar to sakura international buffet. There are plenty of variety of foods to choose from. Sashimi (salmon, tuna, prawn, mussel and scallop), appetiser, cooked food, sushi, tempura and dessert, drinks and etc. I love the sushi variety although when you are on a buffet, you are suppose not to eat too many sushi which will make you full easily. The salmon was fresh and the appetisers in the cute squarish bowl were nice except the cha soba. The cooked food were slow and the the taste is average. I did not try the tempura as I need to save some space for my dessert. The mochi was very chewy and the jelly was awesome. Afterall, it is a good place to hangout for a weeday dinner as you can have a variety of japanses food at affordable price. I will not recommend for a weekend dinner as the price is a bit high and definitely it is going to be long queue for the cooked food. I can say 我赚到了 as i spent $15 to try so many different kind of japanese food. haha. Look out for more deals at http://www.deal.com.sg/ or big deal or groupon. Sometime, there are a lot of good deals.

Seafood Paradise @ Singapore Flyer

Last saturday, I went to seafood paradise @ singapore flyer to celebrate charlene birthday together with si ying. The ambience and the decoration of the restaurant is fantastic and the service of the staff is excellent. We ordered a 4 person set menu and we were very full towards the end. However, Charlene seems not full and she manage to finish half the cheese cake (OMG! I guess). It is so nice to have them around talking and laughing away. I missed the time when I still have at Aventis when we could do the same thing also. It is good to catch up once a while to see how is everyone as everyone is busy with work and stuffs. Let me wish charlene a happy birthday and all the best in whatever she do!

Second Restaurant during restaurant week

Last Saturday, Liqi and I went to this italian resturant located inside the SAM (Singapore Art Museum). This was the second resturant I reserved for the restaurant week. Italian crusine again and I loved it. We were terribly late on that day. There was massive jam towards orchard area so we decided to take train halfway through the journey. When we reached the place, I guessed it was already 2 plus. The greeting of the staff at the door was considered not satisfactory. They seem shocked to see our arrival and perhaps they thought we might not be coming. Actually the lunch hours was until 3pm so I did not put too much blame on them and we ate for approximately 45 to 50 minutes as the dishes were served promptly. I had a feeling that they seemed to rush us out of the restaurant. haha. However, the dishes served were impressive especially the dessert (panna cotta) and the ambience in the restaurant was to my liking. This resturant is definitely worth a  second try, however I really hope the service will improve.

After the meals, we walked to UE square to explore some good restaurant and indeed we spotted a few. Next, we went to takashimaya basement 2 to buy the Baumkuchen cake. It was to my surprise that there were many new store. If you have not been to takashimaya for a long time, time to visit again.
