Takeaway dinner from Thai Express OK May 10, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Thai

Not very hungry after having super full late lunch. So for dinner, I bought only appetizer and salad for myself and one main dish for hubby's dinner. I ordered a thai green curry and jasmine rice for hubby and mango salad, rice crackers with thai style dip, thai fishcake and prawn toast for sharing. The green curry was very good with generous serving of seafood and chicken cubes. As for appetizer, the mango salad and fishcake was nice. The prawn toast is too oily and burnt at the sides. The rice crackers were alright.

We were visiting the Tulipmania event at the Gardens by the Bay and decided to rest our feets after 4 hours of walking. The restaurant is having a Happy hour promo during off peak hour that include a non-alcohol drink at $10. We bought the Happy hour tickets and took a lift to the Treetop restaurant. I ordered a mango juice while my friends had coffee. The drinks were alright...I think we are paying mainly for the panoramic view I guess. We browsed their food menu and found that they served mainly asian dishes that are pretty pricey. I don't recommend this place for people who are looking for cheap and good eats.

Late lunch at Au Chocolat OK May 08, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : French | European | Café | Desserts and Cakes

Food and service not bad. We ordered two appetizer to share, truffle fries and mushrooms bites, both were yummy. My roast half chicken was not too bad. Desserts are a tad sweet though...my Rose and Lychee macaron was too sweet! My friend recommended the Frozen chocolate drink which was very delish.

Montana Brew Bar @POMO Smile Mar 20, 2016

Full review - http://midas400.blogspot.com/2016/03/montana-brew-bar-pomo.html

Finished my medical appointment early, so dated hubby for lunch in town. We decided to try out the savory waffles from Montana, a specialty coffee house located at POMO, that is also well known for their creative waffles.

 

 

 

 
Their simple menu consists of 3 category of food, Savory Waffles, Sweet Waffles and Pastas. There's also a $11.90+ set lunch option which includes a pasta dish and a drink.

On the drinks page, the inhouse specialty, Coconut Cold Brew coffee, was their signature brew. Regular espresso coffee, filtered coffee, a couple of artisan teas and wine are also available.

 

 
We ordered two savory waffles for main course and one sweet waffle as dessert.

Southern Fried Chicken Waffle $14.50+, crispy fried chicken with tangy coleslaw served with corn salsa on the side. The crispy waffles were nicely done and pairs well with the fried chicken. It's a pretty decent dish but the chicken pales in comparison to Arteastiq's Thai style chicken waffle though. The later had a much more appealing dressing for their savory fried chicken waffle.

 

 

 
Assam Crab Waffle $18+, spice infused waffle with crab meat and pineapple cucumber salsa served with assam gula melaka mayo on the side. This waffle has too much going on in one single dish, and the soft cakey waffle got soggy soon after soaking up the salsa dressing. Overall, we did not enjoy this dish.

 
Chocolate Banana Waffle $14.50+, served with grilled bananas, granola, hazelnut rocher ice cream and drizzled with salted caramel sauce. This waffle did much better than the savory ones. The crispy chocolate waffles tasted heavenly with the sweet bananas and cool ice cream. Thumbs up.

 

 
For drinks, we tried their signature Coconut Cold Brew Coffee $6.80+, created by steeping ground coffee in coconut water. Served with a coconut ice sphere, this chilled black coffee was a delight to drink. The subtle hints of coconut water sweetness gave it a refreshing and very unique taste. I like it.

 

 
Other beverages we had were Hot Chocolate $5.50+ and Spiced Chai Latte $5.50+. They were rather decent. I love my chocolaty hot chocolate with its lovely latte art.

 

 
It was an interesting adventure exploring the creative waffles at Montana. Some waffle flavors may be too creative for our palates, but we think that they do have a lot of potential. The specialty cold brew coffee does leave a pleasant impression though. We would order the other variants to try next time.

Dinner at Hard Rock Cafe @Orchard Smile Mar 20, 2016

Full review - http://midas400.blogspot.com/2016/03/dinner-at-hard-rock-cafe-orchard.html

Met up for a birthday dinner treat for Dec sista. We picked this place as it has 1 for 1 main course deal on The Entertainer App, and also it has been many years since we visited it. The restaurant still looks the same with that vintage Cadillac hanging atop the entrance.

 
The usual Rock inspired decor theme with all kinds of electric guitars lining the walls, and various music memorabilia from some of the greatest Rock legends.

 

 

 

 
We ordered a main course each and one appetizer dish for sharing. But first, some refreshing mocktail drinks to start the dinner off proper. Mango Berry Cooler $13++ each.

 
Buffalo Wings $17++, served with blue cheese dip and raw carrot and celery sticks. They were nicely done and pretty addictive to much on.

 
For my main course, it's the Hickory BBQ Ribs (full rack) $34++, served with coleslaw and fries. The ribs were delicious, meat was tender and well flavored with smoky hickory sauce.

 
Other mains ordered were Hickory Smoked BBQ Combo $36++ (Ribs, Chicken & Pulled Pork), and Bacon & Cheese Wagyu Burger $32++. Both were well received by the girls.

 

 
Hard Rock Cafe is still the place to go to for classic American food. Despite being in operations for over 25yrs in SG, food quality and service are still well maintained. It's not a bad choice for friends to hang out over yummy food and drinks, while listening to Rock music.
