Tucked away in a serene and quiet Bukit Timah neighborhood, Picotin is an unassuming restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, a great selection of wines and a lovely food selection.

Picotin has been one of my favourites ever since I'd tried one of their incredibly enormous pizzas for S$49. I returned to Picotin for the second try to sample their duck confit, as I am quite a fan of the dish and am always on a lookout for the best duck confit in the city.

While not the best, definitely a top three for me - the duck confit was tender on the inside with a crispy crust on the outside. just the way duck confit should be. My companion had beef bourguignon which, he said, had a tad of a strong beef after taste. However, after trying it myself, I found the beef to be delectible and the beef tenderized and cooked to perfection.

After my second visit, I can say with assurance

 
that I will definitely return to Picotin to sample their many wines and enjoy the duck confit again.

Meatless Minestrone Smile Jul 18, 2012

I always go to soup spoon when I am in need of a hearty but soothing meal. Their soup variety ranges from thick and beefy to light and healthy, with a variety of seasonal selections that change every month. While I am a big fan of trying Soup Spoon's new creations, the one soup that I keep coming back to is Meatless Minestrone.

I tend to pair the soup with a Ceasar Salad (which is always exceptionally fresh and tasty) and an Ice Lemon Tea, making is a Souper Value Meal (about S$11+ for this combo). Sometimes, I switch it up and substitute the salad for 1/2 of a Tuna Sandwich (which is also one of the many available combo choices).

Always a consistently good quality, I look forward to Soup Spoon during my lunch breaks for a short escape and a comforting meal.

In an unassuming row of shophouses in Holland Village, there lies a small but happening restaurant Amici. The service can be, at times, sporadic and the waiters forget to bring random items of cutlery or accidentally charge for two drinks instead of one. However, overlooking the minor blunders with the wait staff, the food is well worth the hype.

The eggplant parmigiano is abundant with cheese and, at the appetizer portion size and price (S$12.80), is almost like a meal in itself. Fettuccine alla russa ($20.90) is a main dish to drool over - with salmon and caviar over a bed of fettuccine, coated with a generous serving of vodka sauce.

A simple meal consisting of an appetizer and a main dish can leave you well fed and asking for take away containers. Reservations are generally required, as the place gets extremely busy on the weekends, but the trip and the food will definitely leave you wanting to come back again and again.

Satisfying Light Fare Smile Jun 24, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American

I love going to Spinelli's on weekends, after my workout routine, and grabbing a bite to eat and one of the signature smoothies. Thier latest addition to the food menu are the miniature sandwiches - tapas - that are sold in pair and can be mixed and matched for one fixed price.

While they have a selection of about half-a-dozen of tapas, my favourite is the BBQ Chicken - spicy, yet not overwhelmingly so, spread over a slice of delicious bread. Though I do miss the chicken salad with grapes, that they no longer have, the tapas are also great and are my usual lazy Sunday afternoon treats.

For a large sampling of Middle Eastern and European cuisine, Medz's has got you covered. From one enticing food station, that transports you to a far-away spot of the world, to another, you will be hard pressed to choose just one dish to try.

Having tried the spicy but flavourful kebobs at the Greek station a couple of times before, my next stop was going to be the French stall where, among the braised beef and roasted lamb offerings, I selected the crispy leg of duck confit. After settling down at my table, I also ordered a potato rosti with dried sausage as a side dish.

The duck leg was tender and crispy, just the way it is supposed to be. The garnish in a way of potatoes and mushrooms was a little sparse and the mushrooms tasted bland, but the duck leg was generously basked in a semi-sweet glazing that was a perfect compliment to the dish.

The rosti was undersalted and the dried churizo sausage, placed on top, was oversalted, so I struggled to find that delicate middle in the flavor of the two. If done right, however, this dish is promising as a stand-along main entree.

With a variety of food selections from about eight different countries, Medz's is sure to keep its visitors coming back to try new dishes. The establishment also has a great selections of beers from all over the world. If not for eating, then for drinking, Medz's has just about everything for everyone's taste palette.
