My colleagues and blogger friends have been raving about Poulet and I am so glad we get to eat there last Saturday. We arrived just in time for lunch and the place is close to full house. Have we arrived later, we might have to wait for a while to get a table. That's how good the business is for Poulet. They do deserve all the raves about their food and service. You get great value for your bucks plus you are guaranteed an unforgettable gastronomic experience.

Here's what we ordered:Country Side Mushroom Soup - this cream of wild mushroom and Idaho potato made the mushroom lover me wild and happy! Salad de Paris - chopped garden salad, dried cranberry, tomato, avocado, black olive and roasted pine nut served with French dressing. The hubby liked it so much that he asked me to come up with my own version of Salad de Paris at home. Poulet Roti - Oh am geeee! This is sooooo good! The chicken apparently was brined for a full day in a traditional recipe then placed in the rotiserrie for a slow roast until the skin tans to a golden brown. The homemade mushroom Chardonay sauce complimented the perfectly roasted chicken! This is a definitely a MUST TRY!Iberico Pork Belly - braised spanish Iberico pork belly served with mashed potato, leek confit and double mustard. The marriage of the mashed po, leek and mustard taste created an unforgettable savoury taste to this dish! Four thumbs up from my girl and the hubby! Another MUST TRY in my book!Tiramisu in a mason jar - this is all i can say; It deserves all the raves from my colleague who recommended it to me. I am so happy I get to take home the mason jar too for $5!

We are definitely coming back to eat at Poulet soon! Thinking of bringing my university friends in their Bugis branch for my birthday treat.

We had a satisfying second round of breakfast at Rocky Masters, Orchard last Monday morning while waiting for the embassy to open at 9am. 


I had American breakfast which came with  juicy sausages, not so crispy but good enough bacon, hash brown, a piece of ham, mushroom, tomato, cucumber, scrambled egg and perfectly toasted bread. I was given a choice of coffee or tea for drinks but i opted for a hot choco which turned out to be soooo chocolatey yet not too sweet, just perfect for my liking. 
Nothing spectacular about the American breakfast but i wasn't disappointing nonetheless. There's plenty of room for improvement with regards to plating/food presentation and perhaps they can add just a little bit more of the mushroom and bacon. Big eaters won't be satisfied with their regular portion, i suppose. 


The hubby who had heavy breakfast at home earlier ordered strawberry cheesecake and apple juice. The cheesecake was sooo good, i am already thinking of going back there to have another slice. 


It would have been a perfect way to kickstart the week if only the server greeted and entertained is with a smile on his face.

Finally, hubby and i had a chance to dine at Pique Nique in Takashimaya. Been eyeing this cosy looking place for a long time but it seemed the big brouhaha about it has died down. It was almost empty when we were there and i noticed some of the seat faux leather covers been ripped and have not been replaced. 

Hubby devoured on their All Day Big Breakfast Burger and the carnivorous in him loved it!


I had roasted chicken and mushroom and mac cheese. Was disappointed initially when it was served to me in such a small vintage pan. I though i was cheated with my money but boy i was so wrong! When i started digging, i realized the pan was deep and there was a generous portion of roasted chicken. By the time i finish it, i was stuffed with cheese, mushroom and roasted chicken goodness!


What we regret ordering is the dessert recommended to us by the waiter - sticky dates pudding. It was way too sweet even for people like us with sweet tooth.

My girl requested to have Japanese food for dinner and since we are already at ViVo City, we brought her at Ichiban Boshi. 

Just like Sakae Sushi, Ichiban Boshi also serves sushi in kaiten (conveyor belt). My sushi lover girl picked two plates of sushi from the kaiten and she ordered Honetsuki Torimomo Mushi from the menu. In layman's term, it's a stewed drumstick with potato salad. For the record, she finished it all by herself considering she also had two plates of sushi (she only shared 1 each for me and the hubby). The drumstick must be really good, my girl rarely finishes her food when we eat out.

Hubby and i had Kaisen Salad, Hotate Cheese Yaki and Soft Shell Crab Tempura. The kaisen salad is a must try! Hotate Cheese Yaki on the other hand is only recommended for cheese lovers.

I brought my mom and my daughter to eat at Dome Cafe in Plaza Singapura a few months back. 

My order: Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli - homemade basil pesto, roasted aubergine, baby asparagus in tomato sauce topped with pine nuts. I find the ravioli filling a bit too dry. I think i am not going to order this again shoul i eat at Dome again. Having said that, my daughter tasted it and gave it a thumbs up. Oh, to each her own indeed! 

My mom's order: Beef Tenderloin - served with sautéed  savory cabbage, bacon and grilled  mishroom, topped with pomery mustard sauce. She liked it but she swapped food with me as i mistakenly told the server medium rare. My mum prefers it well done. 

My daughter's order: Fresh Cut Lamb Rack - served with aubergine and tomato confit, topped with red wine mint sauce. My girl totally loved it. 

We shared raspberries swiss cake for dessert. It is refreshingly good!

My mom and my daughter's order were from the New Zealand Farm Creation which were offered during our visit.

I think i will choose from the baked rice menu in my next visit and I also would love to try their chocolate lava next time.
