Donut at JCO Cry Apr 28, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café

I was looking for a dinner place and wasn't really hungry. Was at Bugis, therefore I walked into JCO and wanted to order to donut. Saw the sandwich donut being displayed out and I ordered that for my dinner. It was only 2 bucks. They have an assortment and I ordered the one with the egg. Its wasn't fantastic and tasted pretty strange. I believed that donut doesn't goes well with sandwich filling.

A taste of Jamie's Italian OK Sep 05, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Pasta | Seafood

I was all excited when I heard that Jamie Italian was coming to Singapore and I knew I had to try. I actually had the opportunity to try the one in London previously and I really missed it. I made an online reservation in July for September so it was really a long wait till the day that I finally got to try. However, booking online have it advantages too as we were shown straight to our tables when we arrived. I heard they do allocate certain seats for walk-in customer as well but be prepared for a queue. Restaurant ambiance is pleasant and furnished with contemporary modern style fittings coupled with dim lightings. They have a counter and bread table where they prepare appetizers and what they call it Antipasti. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also somewhat noisy as the music in the background was really too loud in my opinion. It was hard to hold a conversation with my friend and I felt that I was shouting across my table. It will be perfect if the music would have been softer cause apart from appreciating the food at the restaurant, it is also important that some may want to be able to chat while eating. Apart from locals, I realized that the restaurant was also filled with a lot of expats as well.

 

 

 

 

 
The menu was extensive and have a good selection. In the end, I ordered the Posh Chips ($7.50) as well as the Crispy Stuffed Risotto Balls ($11.50) for the sides. I also ordered the recommended Jool’s Favourite Sicilian Tuna Fusilli ($14.00/$21.00) which has two sizes to choose from and I decided to go with the regular size. I also tried the
Lamb Chop Lollipops ($29.90) and lastly ended with the two tempting desserts of Sour Cherry Bakewell ($9.50) and Tiramisu ($11.50).

So what’s my verdict for the food that I have tried?

 
Posh Chips ($7.50) - The posh chips is actually truffle fries and it came with generous amount of Parmesan sprinkled at the top. This side a little disappointing as the fries was soggy.

 
Risotto Balls ($11.50) - I’ve never seen Risotto Balls before or maybe is just me. But looking at the menu, this side looks interestingly enough to order so I thought I’ve give it a shot. Surprisingly, it was bland and did not have taste at all. It didn’t help even though I dipped this into the salsa sauce that came with it.

 
Jool’s Favourite Sicilian Tuna Fusilli - ($14.00/$21.00) This was actually my favourite of all the food that I’ve ordered. It was filled with Albacore tuna also known as white meat tuna mixed together with tomatoes, garlic, some herbs, cinnamon and it came with one big spoonful of breadcrumbs fragranced with strong taste of herbs.

 

Lamb Chop Lollipops ($29.90) - This dish name is cute indeed. The lamb chops were grilled and came with crushed creamy artichoke with mint sauce. There were traces of roasted nuts, chilis and fresh mint as well which added tantalizing flavours to this dish.

 
Sour Cherry Bakewell ($9.50) – It is a Berry tart filled with sweet almond filing and topped with what they called it a clementine sour ripped cream (clementine is a kind of mandarin orange citrus). I love this tart, though I do find the almond taste overpowering. The texture of the crust is baked perfectly together with sugary sour and mellow taste.

 

Tiramisu ($11.50) – The Tiramisu was served in a clay cold pan, interesting concept and topped with heavy cream. I felt that there wasn’t a balance mixture between the rum and coffee. The rum definitely overwhelmed the coffee and I prefer that it will be a good combination of both. However, I can tell that it was freshly made so that was a plus.

Overall, Food was only plausible and service was also only satisfactory in my opinion but I’m usually not very particular. Price is also on the pricey side and was not really worth it for it taste. However, I do enjoy their desserts better. I would probably go back to give it another chance to try their other dishes.

Brunch at the Fire Station OK Aug 21, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Steaks and Grills | Brunch

Having passed by the restaurant for a number of times, I was urging to try Spruce at the old fire station. So, finally my friends decided to head there one fine day to try the brunch. I decided to order the Garden Brekkie while my friends ordered the Big Brekkie and Spruce Burger. I enjoyed my British Brekkie. It came with Scrambled eggs, baked beans, sausages, mushroom, tomato and focaccia toast. Scramble eggs was pretty well done and tasty. The price of the British Brekkie is much on the higher side which cost about $19. I ordered a latte to go along with it. I actually find the food presentation here not bad. However, service wasn’t that good. Perhaps it was the crowd, the waitress just left us to sit without coming to take our order. I actually had to call out to the waiter three times before someone coming to take our order. Even when we asked for payment, it took a long time. This left a really bad impression.

Ice Cream Place at OC OK Aug 21, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Bakery | Café

It was my first time at Seventh Heaven. It was introduced by one of my friend and she mentioned that I have to try this ice cream place. When we arrived, it was full and we had to wait for a while before we found our seat. Perhaps it is because it is a weekend. I ordered the scoop of salted caramel ice cream and it even came with a small scoop of lemon sorbet.
My friend ordered the salted caramel with the waffle. I heard from her that the waffle tasted delicious and goes well with the ice cream. I also ordered a peppermint tea to go along with it. Overall the ice cream is still decent for me. I would have preferred the richer creamier type of ice cream and well, that’s just my preference. Try this ice cream place and tell it for yourself.

This restaurant seems to be new. I happened to pass by this restaurant at LaSalle College of the Arts at Rochor Road. The restaurant looks very pleasant with nice decor of vintage items. I ordered a Ratatouille. It came with an egg. It was really delicious and tasty, I still miss the taste. The only thing that bothers me is that the portion is too small for its price. There were no carbs in the dish and I was still hungry after. My friend ordered the Chicken Cacciatore comparable to Briyani chicken rice if you will to describe it. The portion was much bigger and filling with rice at the side. Overall, I would say that they have nice food but portion really small and it is affordable ain’t really cheap from the portion given. We paid around less than $30 with drinks. It is a nice place to hangout. There were also some cakes and pastry to order, I wanted to order the red velvet cake but did not in the end. Perhaps I should try out other pasta dishes to try out as well. The ambience of this place is really nice but it can get noisy when is crowded. There is a stairway that leads to the lower area which life band can perform, perhaps in the weekends. Check out this place and find out for yourself.
