This is one of the restaurant that I have wanted to try for a long time. A good opportunit presented itself when it was part of the dinning week Restaurant. I managed to secure a lunch booking when they open up the BMW day for public to booked.At $25++ for lunch, it was value for lunch with a choice of Appetizer and Mains. It even serve coffee or tea not like some places where we had to order expensive mineral water. This places even provide free plain water. Thumb up

The ambience is more of a bistro as the name suggested, so do not go expecting it as high end Restaurant standard. Normal day prices are reasonable with the portion size they served. The place is decorated like a cafe with simple table and chair. Food is better than Delifrance.

As there were 4 of us, we get to try the 2 different Appertizer and the 2 different Mains.Complimentary bread roll and butter was served while we wait for our 1st course.The salmon and cod terrain has a pink and white combinations sitting on top a herbed tartar sauce. The taste of fish is not fishing when eaten with the creamy white sauce. It comes with a side of salad.I prefer my choice of baked Escargot in herb. It came piping hot in a special escargot plate which has hole for the little snail. It was covered with lots of herbs that look like hot green moss. The snails were chewy and the melted hot butter herb combinations, make this appertizer a pleasure to eat.Sis ordered the Halibut Steak with Pilaf rice. The tasty and fluffy rice was served in a mini red pot and a huge portion of lightly pan fried fish to go with it. I like the slight crisp of the fish except that I find the fish too bony.The rest of us ordered Crispy Roast Pork Belly which we get a slice. It may look small but was filling for me as it came with creamy and smooth mashed potatoe. The pork was crispy and meat very tender. I really enjoy this dish.For dessert it was the yummy Opera Cake. Cake was decent even though it was simply decorated with a pocky stick.

After hearing so much about Whampoa Makan Place, we finally got to try this hawker center. Since it is our first time here, we did not realise that there is 2 different blocks adjacent to each other. We ended up in the quiet section, which most stalls open later.

One of the item we order is this black carrot cake.
According to the sign board their carrot cake is homemade. It has a soft texture and cut into small cubes.
It is nicely fried with sweet black sauce and sprinkle with chopped spring onions. The taste is not bad but nothing special

With the recent craze in "Tau Huey" (beancurd), stalls are poping up everywhere. Mum went to old airport and bought from Lao Ban not knowing which stalls is good.The beancurd comes in a plastic tub with their brand and logo of a couple printed on it. At first bite, it taste very sweet, I suspect the sugar syrup was on top. It got better towards the bottom of the tub when the syrup sink down. It has a peculiar taste which I cannot tell what flavour it is, but I suspect the syrup is cooked with pandan leave. The beancurd was velvety smooth. The beancurd melt in the mouth.

This is one the new stall located in this coffee shop. It basically sells Vietnamese Street Food like Pho and rice with dishes.

We wanted to try the Pho but they only have beef stock. Since we do not take beef, we could not try any of them. I ended up having "Bun Nem Nuong" which is dry Vermicelli with Pork Ball". This is the only version of noodle which I can try. The Pork ball was tasty and nicely grilled and you have to pour the fish sauce and chilli combination to the noodle to enhance the flavour. I would prefer to have a soup version.We also wanted to have Vietnamese Pork chop Rice and it is only available during dinner time.

We ended ordering a plate of "Cha Lua Vietnam" which is different types of Vietnamese ham. Such as pork ham, pork ham with pigs ear and some sour sausage. It cost $5 a plate but was very thinly sliced which was not satisfying. The ham should be sliced thicker and not paper thin.

They did not even have rice available and the boss had to order steam rice from next door stall so that we could have our hams with the rice.

This stalls need lots of improvement as they serve some popular Vietnamese Street food, but lots of items was not available during lunch time. Taste was not bad for the items we tried, but they should have 2 types of stock available such as chicken or seafood available for those that do not take beef.

This is one of the new celebrity Restaurant opened in Sentosa. This is a showcase of our local chef celebrity Sam Leong. It is located inside the new Hotel Equarie Hotel away from Universa Studio. The underground car park is connected. Just follow the direction for the hotel. Take the lift to the lobby where Forest is located.The decor of the restaurant is a open kitchen concept on the left of the entrance. The ceiling is decorated with a tree like wood structure.We were there to have the Restaurant Week (RW) dinner and expected the $55 menu but was surprise to find them offering a $35 discovery menu. I enquire about it and was told the more expensive menu has an extra course and we could choose either menu.We decided to stick to the $35 menu since we were still very full from the earlier RW lunch and now having early dinner. We made the right choices as we were very full when the last course of noodles were served.The 1st dish was not listed in the menu but was a piece of art and pleasing to the eye. One bite and you will be hit with a icy cold and sour sensation, which will open your appertite to the next few dishes. I do not know the name of this complementary dish but I think it is made with tomato, mandarin orange and plum wine. It was a beautiful colour combination served in a artistic bronze colour bowl on top of a beautiful white and gold leaves plate.This salt and pepper Bailing Mushroom has a light taste and the Bailing mushroom has a texture like abalone and the rocket salad was fresh.The New Zealand Cod and Spicy Egg Plant was served in an artistic and constrasting plate. The portion were small but the fish was nicely grilled and has a char taste but not burnt. I like the single pieces of egg plant which has the right texture. I guess good things comes in small portion.The last course was Ee-Fu noodle with chicken. The noodle was a generous portion but the salt level was too high for me. As I have to keep drinking Chrysanthemum tea. It was fried well with chunks of chicken and served in a artistic bowl.

The menu does not comes with tea and Chrysanthemum tea were charged at $6.80 per head before tax.

The prices is considered cheap as you get 3 courses for $35++ per person and overall the portion does not makes you hungry as the noodle is the staple. It is a palate sensory journey which is worth trying at that price.
