Went to The Grandstand with a couple of friends and decided on Grill-Out for dinner.

We tried their angel hair pasta which was served chilled. Love the symphony of flavours in this dish. There were japanese konbu, ebi roe and heavily drizzled with truffle oil.

We also had their kurobuta pork collar that comes with generous serving of vegetables. The meat was a little on the tough side though.

Overall this is a great place for a cozy gathering among friends and the price wise is still affordable.

PS Cafe at Palais Renaissance is much like their other outlet at Dempsey Road which has an alfresco area. Went there with three of my friends for lunch and this was what I had!Croque Monsieur. Basically it's just sandwich with ham and gruyere cheese. The last time I had this was so long ago at another restaurant and I didn't had a good impression. This was so much better, the toast was toasted to a perfect crisp and the cheese was warm and oozy. The salad dressing was different from those usual ones and it tasted awesome with the rocket leaves and spinach.

Poulet is located at the first floor of the extension of Jurong Point (JP2). Along the stretch there was other restaurants as well like Fig & Olive, Long John Silver etc. What I love about this restaurant is very much the French inspired theme that comes along with the French food. French onion soup - personally I'm not someone who fancies onion soup, but this caramelized onion soup has something special to it. Love the generous serving of croutons that comes along with the soup. Poulet's signature dish - Poulet Roti.

The combination of the chicken (marinated for 2 days) and mushroom chardonnay sauce was heavenly. The escargot at Poulet was different from those that I had tasted. It wasn't as rich because there was a layer of tomato fondue at the bottom. Their tiramisu was awesome. Covered completely with fine cocoa powder, underneath hide loads of bitter-sweet treasures. The lady's fingers are soaked in rum syrup and coffee. The mascorpone cheese is perfect when eaten together.

Price wise it is affordable.

Was hanging out with a few of my friends at Marina Square we decided that we could use some desserts.

Alfero Artisan Gelato is one of the rare places in Singapore that sells genuine gelato. From what I know as a foodie, true blue gelato has to be kept in frozen temperatures, and you'd not be able to see the gelato (unless the staff opens the tub for tasting) as its too dense to foam up and sit nicely on a tray for display.So here is it! True blue gelato! We had gula melaka (seasonal flavour), mango sorbet and durian mousse.

Gula melaka has a sugary caramel taste that carries a little hint of smokey flavour. Most of my friends love this flavour the most.

Mango sorbet was rather average and I prefer eating it with Durian Mousse. Durian Mousse has a stronger flavour that is already good on it's own though. You can even taste chunks of durian meat in the gelato. Noms!

Because there were 5 of us, we shared this huge tub of gelato among ourselves at $18 per tub.

no complains.

Modern Asian Diner. In short, MAD.

This restaurant is a collaboration between TungLok Group, Bar Stories and Dick Lee. Storefront.

Bright yellow slab of wall as the storefront is just the tip of the iceberg. I love the vibrant flamboyance of the concept.This is the area where the guests can view and interact with the chefs while the chefs are preparing the food. Breakfast area which will be opening soon.

Before the tasting starts, we were offered customized alcohol drinks. My friend told the bartender she wanted something sourish, and sweet at the same time. There's no name for this drink, but it's made up of gin tonic (as the base alcohol), raspberry and lime juice. My other friend told the bartender she'd like something sweet and citrusy as well. And this is made up of light and dark rum as the base alcohol, elderflower and passion fruit. This is my customized drink. I wanted something sweet and fruity. Here's what I got. Vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries and a gin tonic base. Crispy skin roasted pork belly, frizzled ginger, plum dressing. I find that the crispy pork really goes well with the plum dressing. Other than the frizzled ginger, there were also crispy seaweed sprinkled generously atop. Best eaten together in a mouthful. Wagyu beef and onsen egg with clay pot rice. The strong aroma of truffle assaulted our senses as the waiter set the dish before us. After mixing the rice with the beef and the beef with the egg, the first mouthful was really flavoursome. The truffle oil was really strong and it goes really well with the yolk that was mixed with the rice. Wagyu beef was tender and cooked to perfection.

We'd definitely return to MAD again.
