I love American food, and when I was walking down Club Street with my bff that very Thursday looking for places with satisying food to dine-in for dinner, boy I'm in for a surprise. What really attracted me to drop by before I even look at the menu is the decor. The place looks real comfy, with a sofa set just right at the entrance welcoming us in. Well, too bad its already occupied, or else we would have call dips for that spot. Their playlist is real awesome too. Classic rock in an American-themed diner? Perfect.We ordered some hotdogs (The Frankenstein and Bar-B-Dog), an Oxtail Stew and the Little Italy's Kill' Lasagne cause we were really hungry. When the food came about 10 minutes later, we immediately regretted our earlier ordering impulse because the portions are huge. No, I'm not kidding. It's enormous. I can feed my family with the amount of food we ordered.I really love the lasagne and the hotdogs. I remember having the dogs at Tangs Basement awhile back but I'm not sure. Not that it matters because this is officially my favourite place to get hotdogs. The chilli is really awesome, and the dogs are big and juicy. Imagine the meat juices bursting in your mouth the moment you sink your teeth into it. You know when you get lasagne from your usual places, the individual layers get seperated when you cut it because the layers are just not thin enough. Not this lasagne. My fork when through it and it's like eating cake. Oh, and there's the awesome chilli in it too. I'm coming back again for more. And this time I'm bringing my family.…Read More

I dropped by Sprigs with my girlfriend on a Thursday evening for our Anniversary dinner date. I booked the place with Chope a few days back, so there wasn't a waiting time for us when we arrived promptly at the restaurant.The nice decor in the restaurant reminds me of a contemporary art gallery; 4 mega-sized abstract painting, impressive ceiling fixture that reminds me of an accordion, and the nice wooden tables which I really love. I swear my girlfriend almost wanted to drag the table home for herself because she's really in love with wooden furniture.The food is really good; we really love the contemporary continental menu as we're both avid travellers to the European countries and we really love the food there. After we sat down, we were treated with a bread basket, with a nice serving of truffle-infused butter by the side. The fragrant taste of the bread was complimented with the subtle taste of truffle, completed with a nice crunch from the rock salt that's sprinkled on top of the serving of butter.We ordered the Crab salad with chilled-pea soup as starters. It's a nice and refreshing soup dish with a generous serving of crab salad. The light tasting pea soup really brings out the sweetness of the crab meat and when eaten together, gives a nice flavour burst that makes you yearn for more.Next, we had the Honey Spiced Margret duck breast. I've never eaten such a tender and flavourful duck breast before; it's really amazing as the juices seeps out of the pink tender meat with each bite. I swear my saliva was overflowing with each bite. The tenderness of the meat reminds me of a medium rare steak sans the bloodiness. If anyone should drop by for dinner, I recommended this dish!To summarise, this restaurant is a really nice addition to the row of expensive and overpriced restaurants along Purvis. Do drop by if you're looking for a mid-tier restaurant with awesomee food, and romantic ambience. …Read More
