Renowned French-inspired Japanese Patisserie "Henri Charpentier" has finally opened their first global dessert salon in Singapore in Oct 2014! Henri Charpentier was nestled among lush greenery on the top of Dempsey Hill, just beside "House" restaurant.Exclusive dessert only available in Singapore! Sautéed pineapple, caramel-flavored chocolate mousse and dark chocolate mousse are placed in a bowl resembling a flower made of sugar. The dessert is finished by being flambéed with orange liqueur. Upon being doused with the flaming liqueur, the sugar bowl begins to melt away, flowing down the sides of the dessert tower. The sugar bowl was very solid, hard to bite. I like the chocolate mousse, but the liquor was a tad too much so it tasted quite bitter.. This dessert was quite high quality but the taste was not as good as the dome (below).Exclusive dessert only available in Singapore and also the most expensive dessert here that you have to try!!! Upon pouring the warm liquor, the chocolate sphere quickly melts away to unveil the hidden sweet treat! The chocolate sphere encloses a chocolate parfait biscuit of fraise d'amande (Strawberries & Almonds). I prefer this dessert - Dome than the flower temptation! The liquor was not that strong so the bitterness was very mild. With the chocolate & rasberry sauce, the whole combination here was excellent with a touch of crunchiness and sweetness.

The day that i visited this cafe happened to be the last day of OZ operating at Thomson V Two!
Now Known As "Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters" at 185 Upper Thomson Road.

Their specialty is coffee and they used Pacamara Coffee Roaster beans that you must try. Their coffee was mellow and aromatic that will definitely wake you up!

Just want to share some of the food that i've tried which are not in their new menu.There were a total of 6 slices of smoked salmon + multi grained toast + buttered scrambled eggs + Tri-floral honey in a jar + salad. The smoked salmon was very nice with generous serving of well cooked scrambled egg! The whole platter was satisfactory.Belgium Mocha Waffles paired with premium vanilla ice-cream & mini jug of espresso drizzled in African red chocolate sauce, cocoa powder, & toasted almond slices. The Belgium waffle was aromatic & buttery with a mini jug of espresso for you to pour onto the waffles to enhance the taste - Very innovative! Sad to know that they have removed the waffles from their menu at their new store..

Tim Ho Wan opens their 5th outlet at the new shopping mall, Aperia Lavender in Singapore! The queue here was shorter compared to other outlets! But i don't really like this outlet as the whole place was very cramped..This was the BEST and the most popular dim sum that everyone will order at Tim Ho Wan! This is also the reason why the queue is always so long.... Really love the slight crispy exterior but soft inside that kind of feeling, with delicious char siew...This was baked to perfection! Eat it immediately after served for the best taste. Yummy!So far this is the nicest Siew Mai that beat most places in Singapore! Simply love the tender juicy meat that was melted in my mouth! Must-Order!!!We ended our meal with this chilled dessert that had osmanthus flowers and wolfberries inside. It's like eating jelly cubes with flowery fragrance + a little sweetness. A very refreshing dessert that will make you satisfied!

Casual dining restaurant with quality food at an affordable price!Dressed-Up Scallops ($13.90++)

Super succulent scallops, savoury bacon and a sliced of zucchini, all grilled to perfection, AND topped with caviar! Simply sublime!Chive Salmon Steak ($20.90++)

Salmon steak topped with Chive Puree served with sauteed Leek, Chive Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar Reduction. The whole dish worked very well, with the grilled veges flavours complimenting the salmon. Even for a "non-vege" person like me could enjoy this!Flowerpot Milo Tiramisu ($11.90++)
A pot of mint leaves, with Milo topped "soil".. Beneath the Milo "soil"... Tiramisu!
Using Milo is something different from the usual crushed Oreo cookies you find elsewhere, very innovative! Love this dessert so much! ;)

Bought the voucher from deal.com so the price is only at $31.80 nett per person (Excluding beverages). This is valid only at the Keppel Club outlet till 30 Nov 2014.The creamy egg yolk prawns were crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. The prawns were fresh and springy. The salted egg yolk was really very creamy and spicy.. 1 of the best salted egg yolk prawns that i had so far! Highly recommended dish!This is the most popular dim sum at Peony Jade! So far i've only tasted Pandan liu sha bao at Peony Jade & Ju Chun Yuan. I must say the one at Peony Jade win hands down! The skin was smooth with strong fragrant Pandan and the custard was thick. Thumbs up!!!

The service here was very good! They tried their best to refill our tea, cleared and changed our plates regularly despite it was crowded. The only hitch here was the waiting time of the food was quite long so have to be a little more patient.
