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

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

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,

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

MEDZ @ Orchard Central

Most recently, I was at MEDZ with the bf... look at their pretty ornamental lightings, got a booth seat! :)

Got pretty ambitious with my ordering... XD

Bf ordered spaghetti beef bolognese, which was al dente, he finished them..

What most people would usually order at medz or marche.. I got the plain rosti, and how i eat it is usually spam chilli sauce and mix with the sour cream to accompany my every bite... Awesome texture..

Spanish omelette was really just one pax portion, so was the wings... Omelette was so-so, prefer the one i whipped up years back during IS classes at NP.. Wings wise, tasted like the bedok 85 wings, so for the price i paid, it was not worth?

Desserts galore!!! XD

Light and fluffy texture, not too sweet, not too jelat with the cream, but still can't fight au chocolat's fluffiness...

Earl Grey creme brulee! Like i love earl grey ttvm! This was okok? Partially cause the sugar on top was too burnt for my liking, plus the dish was so shallow, the portion of earl grey creme was so meagre...

This meal cost us $80, will only come back for their rosti though, heard service during peak hours is mad bad, cause they are pretty shorthanded... And i recently gotten a taste of their bad service last week... Though their beef kebab was not bad, tender and tasty! I dont think u guys nd address for this place, just located at B2 of orchard central... U guys shld go during non-peak hrs, as their svc was not that bad then...

Buttercakes N Cream @ Sunset Way

Here for an entry of a café i tried 2 weeks back, chanced upon them on instagram because of their rainbow cakes. So i made reservations for a saturday evening for a celebratory dinner affair with my besties..

This place had a really cosy and warm interior.. However, if you do prefer indoor seatings, it is highly advice that you make reservations for that, cause the indoor capacity is maximum about 10pax only, but they have huge space for alfresco seating.. And look at their cakes special! Just make u wanna order everything, wait till u see their menu for desserts, crazily enticing..

My friend ordered their bacon aglio olio at $11.90++  but requested for less spicy.. So though the pasta was al dente, and pretty fragrant, it lacked the spicyness that would make me like it.. I would say the same for the seafood aglio olio at $13.90++ that my other friends ordered, and also less spicy..

And this was my order, their salisbury steak that cost me $15++.. I reckoned worth every cent, huge patties that were larger than what pepper lunch offers at $8 for one patty.. It was juicy and tender and was pretty lean.. Love it, and will definitely order it again...

We were pretty ambitious with ordering, and ended up ordering their bites platter at $16++ so we could try abit of everything in their sides category, left 1/3 untouched and there was too much carbs, and we were stuffed full...

I was the only 1 who ordered drinks, as their drinks menu was pretty unique, so I decided to give it a try with their Citrus Twist at $5.50+, which was really refreshing and I didn't regret ordering..

Last but not least, DESSERTS!

Their cake special earl grey crunch, it wasn't in the menu, so we didn't know how much it cost, and i forgot what it stated on the receipt, but i know it was expensive, like $8-10 for this piece.. But the taste was superb, every one of us loved it! It was like chocolate ice cream top with earl grey cake based and crunchy bits on top..

And we tried the rainbow cake that cost us $12++ that we had as birthday cake for the b'day girl.. It came with chocolate sauce for you to drizzle...

Well presented cake, however the cake disappointed my tastebuds.. Every bite was mediocre, just a plain vanilla sponge cake with whipped cream, and the chocolate sauce drizzle only made it slightly better.. I gotta say again that au chocolat still has nicer rainbow cakes for the same price tag..

Would not mind coming again to try their other amazing dishes, but for a hdb area, the price tags for the certain food and desserts can be pretty expensive as there is gst & service charge... It costs us $115.72 for 4 dishes, 1 side, 2 desserts, 2 drinks..
