After reading an article on Openrice about this roadhouse, we decide to meet here for our August Baby Celebration.. nice place that is located in Dempsey hill, a very quiet place and Sam told us that this Dempsey Hill used to be the former British military barracks that dates back to the 18th century... The restaurant has the modern American Diner concept and the food here mainly American styled food..

Crispy Calamari rings $16, this is pretty normal, the calamari is not very crispy but is glad the squid is fresh..BBQ ribs $29, the ribs are well barbequed and well marinated but I find the meat a little dry and is quite filling.. however the onion ring were good and tasty. The coleslaw is nice, sweet and refreshing..Theresa ordered the Japanese Prawn Star $24, a Beer battered chunky Prawn patty with Wasabi Mayonnaise. Theresa cannot finish this as she says this is too salty to finish..Pauline had the Fabulous Foie Gras $32, she commented that this is a little salty and oily but still is delicious.. the pan seared Foie Gras is soft and creamy. EL and Jan shared this Bacon meatloaf $35, this is delicious, the bacon is tasty and the meat that is inside the bacon is juicy and well marinated..We ordered this clam chowder too, nice, thick cream soup with clams in it and a bowl full of potato cubes, nice...We had a great evening, the atmosphere is nice and cosy. The staffs are very friendly and nice.. great place to hang out with friends....given the quantity of the food and service, we feel the price we paid is quite reasonable...

Happen to chance upon this 1357 Dessert Café while we are walking over to retrieve our car after dinner.. a simple, cozy shop that is located next to Serangoon Broadway Studio. The interior design is very simple and homely designs.. Hubby ordered a Mixed Melon sago ($3.50), quite ok, strong coconut milk taste and the honeydew and watermelon are sweet.My sister in law ordered this Mango sago with pomelo ($3.90), this is nice, the mango sauce is thick and has strong mango taste with sweet mango cubes..My brother in law ordered the Grass Jelly with Longan ($2.80) and I ordered the Grass Jelly with Mixed fruits ($2.80), nothing much to rave on this just that the grass jelly is nice and not sweet, a very refreshing dessert...

Been 4years since I last visit Taiwan and I am missing Taiwan food such as Ah Zong Mian Xian, lu rou fan and Chicken Cutlet. Been sourcing around for nice, yummy Taiwanese food but cannot really find one that I like till I chance upon this Ke Kou Wei...The mee suan that is sold here has 2 favours for customers to choose from: the usual oyster mee suan or the pork ribs mee suan. I have chosen the oyster mee suan, the soup is thick and yet not starchy, the oysters are fresh and the soup is tasty and flavourful. For the oyster mee suan, they have set available at $7.30 that include either the crispy chicken/popcorn chicken/Crispy pork/crispy calamari/mushroom fritters and a drink.. personally, I find this set quite worth the money as the serving is quite huge and is very filling..As I am eating outside, I decide to buy the popcorn chicken for the mee suan set for easy consumption. The popcorn chicken is crispy on the outside and yet tender and juicy on the inside. Still very nice and crispy even when I eat it when its no longer hot.I also buy a packet of lu rou fan ($4.80)for my hubby, hubby says this is nice, the minced pork is well marinated and the soya sauce is thick and yummy.. this rice also come with 1 braised egg and some prickled vegetables...The food here is reasonably priced and I will definitely come back to try the other food again..

We were quite surprised when we reach coz its usually quiet today and only one server at TCC and his attitude is not very good. Look at the glass for water, there's an obvious stain on the cup and when I ask him to change for me, his face turn a little black. Service is also slow as there is only one server.. and we are so annoyed as many items on the menu is out of stock.Ordered the July's feature drink - Sensorial Sizzle but was quite disappointed as the drink tasted a little different from what I have drink from other branches and again the jelly that is supposed to be in the drink is out of stock.Tuna Tataki Salad, nothing to rave, just another salad with raw tuna..Spicy-hot Wings, luckily this is nice, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside..Crisp-club Sandwich, hubby ordered this and commented that this is not nice, the bread is over toasted and a little hard..Pan-seared Chicken Breast w/ Shogayaki Sauce, my friends commented that this is nice, the chicken is tender and the sauce is nice..We ordered some desserts to share, Pinana Landing and Devil-misu. The cake for the pinana landing is a little too dry and the Devil-misu is not nice at all.. it does not taste and look like tiramisu, to me, I think it looks more like a mousse drink, not nice at all, thick and not much of coffee taste.

Given the kind of service and food quality, I doubt I will ever return to TCC at MBS again.

Not knowing where to go after dinner and since my friend is driving today, we decide to drive over to Haagen-Dazz at Siglap for dessert and chit chatting session.. The Haagen-Dazz at Siglap is quite small and have limited seats but the staffs here are very friendly and prompt upon calling them..They have separate menus for drinks and ice creams...I ordered my all time favourite Strawberry cheesecake ice cream in a waffle cone. This is one of my favourite ice cream flavour at Haagen-Dazz. There is strong taste of strawberry infused with cheesecake cubes in it. The ice cream is smooth and sweet. The waffle cone is nice too...My friend ordered a single scoop of cookies and cream ice cream.. from her face, I know it is nice coz she never complainsAnother friend of mine decides to order 3 scoops of ice-cream and she says all are so nice...Thou Haagen-Dazz ice cream are slightly highly priced but I think it is quite worth as their ice cream is smooth and nice..
