lolI often walked past the place on the way to the gym on sundays and the place is often full!! For ppl who eat late this is a great brunch place as weekend brunch menu is available till 6 pm. 

I had the eggs benny, and u can choose mushroom or ham and i had the previous. Dish was tasty n fresh with eggs superbly done at just runny yolks. The greens were a great side and had a tangy sauce on it. 

My friend had a scrambled eggs with mushroom which came with toast n baked beans. Simple n good without too much oil.

How can you not order pizza while at Timbre? Its almost like a staple for me whenever I have dinner/drinks there. oh.. and the chicken wings!

I was never disappointed with the food with timbre. the pizza we had this time round was heavier than previous, with lots of cheese. We ordered the half and half where u get to choose 2 flavours for each half of the pizza-- philliy cheese steak and pepperoni. I didnt really wanted it but oh my, i had 4 squares! =P

The phillip cheese steak is made of Sauté beef and Spanish onions with mushrooms and peppers, topped with orange cheddar and provolone cheese while the Pepperoni is Tomato pomodoro on a thin crust topped with mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni.

Previously I had tried the buffalo wings before-- its so bad its good.. super fried in batter and a thick sauce over it so I wanted to try the normal wings, which isnt super healthy as well coz its fried. The portion looks small but its actually just right in portion for 2 together with the pizza.

What's more, its my first time at Gillman and its great to be in the greenery. Defnitely will come back!

If you are looking for a nice place to bring a date this weekend, Check out Wine Company along Sentosa Boardwalk. Having been staying near Harbourfront, I would say there are 2 places which never fail me in terms of atmosphere--Sentosa Boardwalk and Keppel Bay. Trust me--waterfront, al fresco dining, not too crowded and great food makes these 2 places a must for any guy who wants to impress.

There are only 2 F & B outlets on Sentosa Boardwalk--Wine Company and and the former wins hands down. Food is so much better at Wine company though drinks might be slightly pricier than its neighbour.

The roast pork was a yummy starter, even for me who isnt really a pork-lover. The skin was thin and crispy with just the right amount of salt. My friend was craving Char kway teow and although portion was a little on the smaller side was nonetheless satisfied.

The Burger was a individually packed beef patty served with lettuce, onion, cheese & truffle fries-- though we couldnt really taste much of a truffle in in and patty runs a bit dry.

And for salad loving me.. this was the worst dish of the night. Small, lacking in taste and unsatisfying. Oh well.

Then again, given the atmosphere, its the perfect place for drinks and they've got a lot of funky finger good I would try--like ngoh hiang and fried yong tau foo. Hows that with wine huh?

I think I finally found a daily salad that I can eat that fills me up and doesn't put a hole in my pocket. Thanks to the recommendations of one of the readers, I found B salad at Amoy Street! And although there are salad shops aplenty in Amoy Food Centre (last count was 4) I like that B salad doesnt have horrendous queue and you get a premium item together with 4 other toppings at just $5. The other stalls I saw often come with normal toppings at $4.90 and no protein means it doesnt fill me up enough.

 
The Wafu dressing is just supreme and up till now, I havent got sick of it enough to try something else. And what's more, they've got my favourite tempeh!! yumyum nomnom.. So in the picture above, I've got a bed of lettuce, and i added 4 normal toppings-carrot, asparagus, tofu cubes and tempeh.. and the premium i often chose broiled chicken.. and I love that they are not stingy with the portions!!

I remembered there was a period of time i was quite crazy about Watami. Not that its food was superb, but more for the value and variety. Amongst the casual Jap restaurant chains I must say Watami still wins my heart. I think I didn't come for about a year and was glad to find one in the Clarke Quay area where I was supposed to meet my friend.

Well firstly, expect the place to be crowded as due to its value, many large gatherings occur here and this isnt the first time I have noticed this. This time round, we witnessed a corporate dinner with about 20 Japanese beside us taking up the row of 4-5 tables.

 

 
For food, I tried one of their new offerings-- Beancurd roll with avocado and prawns. I really loved it because I love beanskin and the dish was very fresh. In fact, it reminded me of the viet fresh spring rolls. However, there fillings were not very generous as I felt like i only tasted a small piece of avocado in one of the portions.

Salad was good because the sesame sauce is super addictive. I feel like its something i can eat everyday. There were slices of teriyaki chicken and tuna mayo. =)

I guess I will go back to Watami very very soon again. =)
