Prive Cafe @ Keppel Bay


Went to Prive with bf to celebrate my birthday Sunday evening..

Ordered Jasmine Queen tea since they were using TWG at $5.00

Raspberry banana smoothie $9, the worst combination to me, will never order this ever again... 

My plain jane burger with medium rare patty without bun at $21, superbly awesome, and I added $3 for their truffle mayo, which was superbly awesome with the fries and the patty, I "licked" the sauce dish clean...

Seafood marinara at $24, awesomely huge and fresh seafood, but still preferred the version we had at Ice edge cafe at simon road, bf reckons the same too...

My dessert galore, bf allowed me to indulge XD

Alcoholic blackforest cupcake $5.00, the cream on top was -.-, so ridiculously thick like 4cm thick? i sliced the cream in half and ate it, alcohol is really gao gao, cake was moist as well...

Fizzy Dark chocoate Ganache tart at $7.00, was awesome as well, not too sweet, and a surprising fizzle in every bite!

Gula melaka pandan chiffon cake at $6/slice... pretty mediocre, next time i'll just diy cheaper siah, take one slice and pour gula melaka sauce over, no doubt their version was pretty strong in pandan and gula melaka taste...

Overall awesome, will come back again to try their other food, and their grill side.. They are located at;
2 Keppel Bay Vista, Singapore City 098382
6776 0777

TCC @ Centrepoint

I'm a huge fan of TCC, and well though I say that, I only patronize TCC about 5 times in a year, and 2 times are usually settled in my birthday month, due to the superb discounts as a TCC member... XD

My usual melon mangoesteen tea $9 order since i tried it last year... never had such a variety of tea before except at TCC...

Ice apple peach tea $7.80, bf's usual order at TCC, tasted to me more like apple tea then peach tea though, but you get to eat the apple and peach pieces...

Awesome baby crayfish salad $16.80, some spicy mayo paired up with crayfish mayo and the ebiko and some japanese dressing that was sour and appetizing! My new favourite dish at TCC, it used to be their baby crayfish pasta, but now that it is gone from their new menu, i'm like super sad... i keep writing on their feedback forms that I want their baby crayfish pasta back on their menu :(

Creamy mushroom chicken pasta $19, not too jelat, manageable for me, but bf was ok with it...

And when i have enough stomach space, i just have to end it with a dessert! Matcha azuki cake $6.90!

They are located almost every corner of Orchard road, and it really depends on which interiors you prefer, (http://theconnoisseurconcerto.com/boutique/town.html) but I went to the one at;
176 Orchard Road, #01-101-104 Centrepoint , S238843 
Tel: 6732 9854

Wild Honey @ Scotts Sq

Look at the extensive range of brunch, how to choose sia? makes me want to eat everything just by looking at the descriptions!

Everything is just so nice can, even their desserts gave me a hard time choosing...

Opposite table settings at every table..

bf loved their cappucino $6, we even gave a compliment to their awesome staffs for the awesome coffee, we even overheard a table next door giving good feedback on their coffee.. and their staff told us that they actually used common man roasters' coffee bean for their coffee... and I was like no wonder it has a strong and rich aroma..

My usual earl grey $7 didn't ask which brand of tea leaves they used, but it was still awesome... on the menu they mentioned organic sri lanka earl grey though...

Every angle and inch of the restaurant is just so rustic and cosy... love the furnitures and the interiors!

My corsican $20 breakfast that day, wasn't used to the goat cheese taste in my omelette, but I still managed to finish them, love the tomatoes the most -.-

Bf's Scandinavian ($26) breakfast, both bf and I found the rosti really disappointing, they were fried a tad to crispy, and it was so dry, the rosti bits kept poking on the inner walls of ur mouths and kinda had a bad experienc chowing down the rosti... Salmon was juicy and tender, but had a fishy smell. asparagus and tomato was grilled awesomely...

And the highlights! Waited damn long just for them to prepare this dish for me! Freshly prepared awesome apple crumble pie served with good quality vanilla bean ice cream that cost $8.50... I'm telling you this is a must try! Superbly yummy and worth the money...

Though they are slightly pricey, but for what its worth and the awesomely good coffee and service provided, definitely will come back again... They have 2 outlets, but i highly suggest the Scott Sq one, as you can make reservations. They are located at; 

333A Orchard Rd, 238897
6235 3900

Robert Trimms @ Orchard


Ultra huge macaroon($6)! Mango flavor, but honestly i don't taste any mango, it was just an affordable huge macaroon to me... Still love the ultra huge one i had at au chocolat's bistro, their white chocolate macaroon i had there 2 years back was just splendid!

My usual cuppa earl grey $7.50..

Pretty looking strawberry cupcake $5.60... But the cream was every bit ew! Too much, too jelat, too redundant... Cake was ok only... Conclusion? Looks maybe deceiving, looks pretty, but taste -.-

Ice cafe latte $7.30, bf finds their coffee pretty palatable...

Verdict? Would much rather go to TCC for desserts and drinks.. 

They are located at:

Orchard Shopping Centre

321 Orchard Road, #01-01/02 Singapore 238866
Tel: 6733 0609
Daily, PH & PH Eve: 11am - 1am

Assembly ground @ The Cathay L1



Brought bf to the assembly ground most recently to try a new cafe for dinner, and apparently when we went there they were experiencing a full-house, so we left our name and number, and managed to get seats within 20minutes, which was quite the awesome..

 
Rosehip Hibiscus tea that I ordered tasted surprisingly appetizing, first try with Hampstead brand of teas..

Awesome beef chilli fettucine, le bf and I both loved it.. Definitely a good dish to recommend..


Awesome crispy rosti though pretty petite, omelette was just the right portion.. Also the cheapest brunch dish on their menu...

The only cake that got me interested with their desserts, pretty awesome earl grey citrus pound...

Oh and they have this organic cane sugar bottle on every table, and it tasted great with my tea... I usually drink my tea sugarless, but with the rosehip tea that I ordered, with the sugar it tasted so much better..


Definitely will come back here again, I saw some reviews on their awesome iced drinks, like matcha, but i didn't order cause I wanted to save some tummy space for desserts...

They are located at Level 1 of Cathay...

XOXO,
CheryL



W39 cafe @ west coast



Went to W39 last month, know about them through their colorful rainbow cakes on instagram... Made reservations so I got my group of 6 a cosy indoor seat..

Awesome homemade ice lemon tea ($4)..

Ice chocolate ($6.50) that my friend ordered..

Prawn & Ham Linguine ($18.50), awesome big and succulent prawns.. 2 friends & i liked it, but the other who preferred it without chilli got a really bland version of this, and hence didn't like it all,texture of noodles was al dente though...


Wagyu beef burger($20), one friend liked it... And one friend didn't as he didn't like due to the fact that the burger seems normal to him and he didn't like the type of fries they used, which on the contrary i found rlly nice?


And the dish i ordered, Baked caesar salad($10.50), first time having warm salad! So yummy i love it ttvm! Will come back just to eat this...

The supposed highlight of the cafe, Rainbow Cake (forget the price but less than $10) but the verdict? Better than bakery chef, but definitely won't order this next time at this cafe, not to my liking at all, taste just meh...

Apparently I could have taken a bus from my house area to get to this ulu place situated where all the bungalows are at the wesr coast area near the West Coast recreation club.. But instead dumb me walk from clementi mrt, and it took a good 15-20mins z.z

They are located at 39 Jalan Mas Puteh (Do google for the right directions) http://www.w39bistro.com/location
And call them for reservations : /9646 3572
