Udders … many of us would have heard of. They are popular for their liqueur ice-cream. There are a few udders ”milking outlets” in Singapore but the one at Siglap is pretty new and it is an Ice-cream cafe with double storey , glass windows and panals. It is popular with students ,especially from VJC and a great hangout place for desserts.

The price are as follows :

Classic : $3.70 / scoop

Premium + Classic : $ 5.70

Premium + Premium : $ 6.70

Premium + Connoisseur : $7.20

What does Classic, Premium and Connoisseur refers to? It basically classify/ group the ice-cream flavours according to popularity and quality.



Tira-miss- u & Rum RuM Raisin ($7.20)

I am a die-hard fan of alcohol and my tolerance of alcohol/ liqueur is high. I chose these two flavours ( best sellers + 6 * of alcohol for the tira-miss-u) .

Tira-miss-u: For those who can’t hold your liqueur/ first time trying liqueur ice-cream, best to ”stay away” from this . The ice-cream has a large amount of mascapone cheese, brandy + cognac in it . Both are strong liqueur thus you might not get used to it. As for me, I felt that the liqueur content is definitely higher than offered in other ice-cream parlours . But, I can still take it … probably the limit was abt 60 % ?

Rum Rum raisins has only 4 stars of liqueur amount thus alcohol content is slightly weaker. I still prefer the ones from Haato & OUMS which has lots of raisins in the ice-cream.

Hmm…. I would return to udders to try the rest of liqueur flavours. Since I can withstand the strong liqueur of the Tira-miss-u, I guess the rest would definitely not have a problem.

Vanilla Pod by Chef Peter & Company is the brainchild of Chef Peter, a Singaporean Chef who have worked with 3 * Michelin star chef and he is experienced in European Culinary.

* See through glass panals ( sort of romantic)?

During dinner time, choose outdoor seatings as the ambience is really great!
They have a private dining area where you can chit-chat with your friends and munch on bar snacks.

The Menu
They have just revamped their new menu 3 days ago thus the menu reflected on the website is the old menu. The new menu has limited selections of food but the old favourites still remains. However, if you would like to try dishes from the old menu, just inform them and ”everything can be arranged”!

Dishes from the ala-carte menu can be done in ”Kid’s portion” @ 1/2 of the ala-carte price.

Home-made Brioche

Warm & crusty brioche. Normally I didn’t think much about the bread/baguette served in restaurants but this brioche is really good…Fragrant and crusty !

Mimosa Salad ($13.50)

” Named after the yellow mimosa flower because of the color, this cold salad is a combination of finely chopped eggs, grilled squids and tomatoes garnished over French beans, and finally tossed with homemade shallot bacon vinaigrette.”

This salad is on the old menu but I thought that the name” Mimosa salad” sounds interesting and they agreed to prepare this salad for me. Like they mention ” Alright, everything can be arranged”The french beans are served chilled. A mixture of shredded eggs, pamesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, tomatoes and tossed in bacon shallot vinaigrette. The dressing smells fragrant due to the fats from the bacon.The french beans are crunchy and doesn’t like the ”raw” taste . Everything is perfect but it’s just that the bacon are a little fatty .

Oven baked Chilean Seabass topped with shredded egg & caviar, saffron cream($35.80++)

I jumped at joy when I see the Chilean seabass! The portion is generous and I ordered the full ala-carte portion just to enjoy the goodness of this fatty fish.The chilean seabass has got a cripsy skin and a ”melts in your mouth” texture. The presentation is attractive and the caviar and shredded egg paired well with the fish( crunchy carviar + smooth fish meat). Finished off with a touch of saffron cream sauce, it’s fantastic!The vegetables served alongside- romaine lettuce, carrots and brocolli were soft but not mushy.

On a side note: The crispy pork knuckle is ”HIGHLY” recommended. I overheard the people sitting next to them haveing praises for the pork knuckle . They commented that it was ”even” better tha Otto . They also had high praises for the squid ink pasta which they commented as ” authentic” squid ink pasta and one of the best they have tried in Singapore. I am not sure which restaurant they compared it to and the benchmark for squidink pasta. However, having heard raves about about the 2 dishes, I would definitely return again to try them!

Verdict: Great ambience + great food. Prices are a little on the pricey side but it’s the quality that matters. A re-visit is a must for me! The restaurant is well-hidden and it managed to attract people from different places due to the power of ” Word- of -mouth”.

The Tavern Restaurant , located along the shophouse of River valley road, offers Swiss & Continental cuisine. It has been there for 6years! The Tavern is a resturant well-known for it’s excellent Traditional European food and of course it is one of the restuarant that the rich and famous would frequent. However or sadly, I am not one of them.

The decor of the interior adopts a Traditional style and ambience. They divide the restaurant into 2 to occupy more tables. The cosy restaurant seats 100 persons and has a private rooms on the second level that is usually used for private functions.

The menu is not printed in a form of a menu booklet but instead, the dishes are written on a chalkboard where the service staff would push the menu board over to you to have a look. Starters, mains and desserts are written on different chalkboard thus it makes it easier for reference and placing orders. I personally feel that the dishes are priced on the higher side (even more ex than other popular restaurants) . The starters are priced $18 and above thus expect to pay around $50 per person here.

They do offer a 1 for 1 set lunch ( for DBS / POSB Credit card holders) priced at $60++. I would strongly recommend to go for the set lunch as it is much more worth it . I believe that it is the quality that matters and thus if you don’t mind forking out extra $ , order some of their signature dishes.

The restaurant signature dishes are Pan fried goose liver ( Foie gras), scallop carpaccio and the Raclette cheese.



1/2 dozen Escargots ($16.50++)

Definitely one of the best I’ve tried so far. The escragots ( snails) are cooked with their home-made garlic butter and baked till perfection. The home-made garlic butter smells fragrant and they added some minced onions to it. The escargots are huge , meaty and succulent!



Stuffed Portobello mushrooms ($18++)

The portobello mushrooms serve as a light appetitizer. 2 portobello mushrooms topped with fresh carbmeat (crab leg), cubes of carrots , minced onions light mayonnaise dressing and finish off with pesto sauce.

The crabmeat was fresh and sweet and they were pretty generous with the crabmeat. Portobello mushrooms were juicy but I find the size a little too petite.

Verdict: Other than the pricey factor, there is no reason why I should not make a return. The food is good, service is good, ambience is good but the price… not very good !

Sashimi House, offer Japanese cuisine @ Anchorpoint is part of the SAKURAYA group. From the name, you would have guess that they offer Sashimi and there are more than 40 kinds of sashimi available here. The cargo would arrive on every Tuesday and Fri, these two days are the best to enjoy sashimi as they are the Freshest!

Sashimi House offers daily set lunch and monthly ala-carte dishes. Ala-carte available as well but some dishes are not found in the menu. Kindly enquire with the staff what is the fresh catch of the day. If you still undecided, just order the bento set.


Wafu salad ($6++)


A bowl of finely shredded white cabbage with tomatoes and cucumber serve in a Japanese Plum sauce.


Nasu Dengaku ($8++)

This was grilled eggplants with 2 types of miso paste (white and dark miso). The eggplants were cut into halves , topped with miso and grilled. The outer layer is very crispy while the interior is so soft and goes very well with the miso paste. I have requested for less miso to reduce the saltiness. I loveee this nasu dengaku!



Buri Teriyaki ($ 9++)

It was a thick slab of Buri fillet, grilled with Teriyaki sauce. Buri is a rather firm and fatty fish and the meat was a little rough after grilling. Other than that, the skin was very crispy.


Gindara Teriyaki ($14++)


The all-time favourites and it is commonly served in Japanese restaurant. The cod is very soft and tender and melts in my mouth. Frankly speaking, Cod taste great when it is grilled with Teriyaki sauce.

Overall, I felt that the ala-carte dishes are much pricey than the set. There are quite a number of bento sets to choose from and they comes with decent sashimi, why not give it a try? Get a stamp of every spending of $20, accumulate 25 stamps to redeem a $50 voucher!

Prive Restaurant, is just located right next to Prive Bakery Cafe, a popular hangout for brunch. The Keppel Island is a romantic place at night but a different view in the morning. Ever since Prive Bakery/ Restaurant open its door, it has drawn people from all over the island . Now with the opening of The Resorts World, they may face a little competition. Well, I guess they still have the factor / reason to draw me there.

I have been to Prive Bakery Cafe countless times and now it’s time for me to go over to Prive Restaurant.


Prive Restaurant offers a 2 or 3 course set lunch priced at $32++ and $35++ respectively. It was just a $3 difference so it’s up to you whether you are game for 2 or 3 course. Well, I decided to skip the dessert and went for 2 course instead.


Seared US scallops with capellini, melted bottarga buter & Ikura

I had this as my starters and I was very pleased with this US scallops with capellini. Of couse there are other dishes to choose from but I would strongly encourage you to try this.3 Jumbo US scallops lightly seared and has a bouncy and soft texture. It is served with a small serving of smooth capellini pasta in melted bottarga sauce and Ikura (flying fish roe)The smooth capellini blends in with the melted bottarga butter and it was just heavenly! I can literally see the tiny little fish roe in the melted sauce. Even though it was a butter sauce, it was not too rich or heavy. The ikura burst into flavour when I took a nibble. I love this combination and have nothing but praises for this Pasta!



Charcoal Grilled Asparagus ($8++)

This was my additional side order. The asparagus are lightly grilled with salt and pepper and I like to enjoy it’s natural flavour. They have a smoky flavour which I didn’t like it (Personal). Having checked with them , I realised that that the asparagus are charcoal grilled, thus producing a smoky flavour. I guess majority would enjoy it but not for me.




Crispy Skin Barranmundi, Fava Beans & Spring Vegetable Fricasse


Intially, the waitress highlighted the duck confit and the Sakura Ebi Capellini pasta which were their popular dishes. Since I do not like duck meat and I had a capellini pasta as my starter, I decided to go for this Crispy Skin Barranmundi.The Barranumundi is lightly grilled , has a smooth and tender texture but the skin is slightly chewy and crispy. I love all kinds of fish skin thus I enjoyed this. The fish is served with spring vegetables fricasse ( zucchini, carrots, bell peppers and celery). The vegetables were diced into neat cubes and were crunchy. The sauce was a little creamy and the addition of pasley was a little overpowering. Anway, the fish is good enough to satisfy.

Overall verdict: IMHO, I like the food here compared to the bakery cafe . The place is very suitable for romantic and intimate dining especially at night. Prive Restaurant and the Bakery Cafe served totally different food and ambience also differs. For desserts, I would suggest to pop by The Bakery Cafe . The service here is very friendly and they would occasionally come over to your table to ask for any feedback.
