Tea Cosy @ Plaza Singapura

I am so sorry to my readers here. I have not been updating my blog recently due to I have been eating many nice food with my friends & also busy with my work as well. :((

Though my schedule was really packed for the past one month plus but I really had fun! ^^

Today, I am going to share this nice restaurant called Tea Cosy. It was really a cosy place to me & I feel relaxed when I was at there.

I have been there for a few times with my friends & hubby & they love the food. ^^

I guess I am the typical type of person who only like to order the same type of nice dishes I had normally.

Following dishes are my recommendation. Also, I did not order their tomato soup as I can't finish it but please try that as it really taste very nice! Don't miss it!

There are alot of ornaments found all over the shop & it makes a big difference to it.

They have very nicely-decorated ceilings as well.

Mushrooms

If you are a cheese-lover, you will love this very much! The mushrooms were so tender & matched well with the cheese! ^^

Pan-fried Foie Gras

Portion was just nice as it was not a stingy-portion. :P 

It was well-decorated with fruits & vegetables. *Thumbs up*

Steak

The portion is big & taste was not bad though it was not the yummiest that I had. :P

Dinner @ Ma Maison (Bugis)

Due to my mood was affected by an irritating person so I decided to eat something great with my hubby yesterday!

We went to our favourite restaurant called Ma Maison & it was located at Bugis Junction. They also have another outlet at Clarke Quay - The Central.

They normally will have a queue during the dinner time but luckily my hubby reached early & we managed to get a seat.

Well...my all-time favourite starter & main course are the escargots & the sirloin steak! So I ordered that & my hubby ordered the pork cutlet with rice in curry sauce. He is someone who can't go without rice! :P

They do sell other dishes like their famous hamburger steak, mussels, fruit tarts etc. Their squid ink pasta is fantastic! It is a MUST try dish! 

Escargot 

It really goes well with the butter & has a chewy & soft texture. *thumbs up*

Sirloin Steak

I choose the soya sauce & it really goes well with it. I chose it to be MEDIUM done & the meat was just nice. Tender & juicy! *A must try for beef lovers*

Pork Cutlet Rice with curry sauce

The pork cutlet was tender inside & crispy outside! The taste was really nice! I am sure most guys will like this dish as it is very filling. :P

Relaxing at Cookie Museum (Esplanade)

Decided to have some tea & desserts after having a heavy dinner with my lovely friends.

I love this place alot as they serve a wonderful dessert called The Melting Durian.The elegant-looking environment made me feel so relaxed. They have the Victoria style of furniture & tea sets which I love it to the max~~

They have many types of tea & I always order the one with the peach flavour. I can't remember the actual name but you may search the Peach word through the description. They have descriptions for each type of tea. By the way, please do not add any sugar as that will spoil the taste totally.

Menu

Environment

Tea with Peach Flavour

 The peach fragrance really made my day! It has a light & not so sweet taste. Just nice for me!

Cake with Bailey

    I don't really like it as the cake became very soggy after soaking on the Bailey for too long.

The Melting Durian

 The hazelnuts really matched well with the durian! The paste was not creamy at all. Simply just durian!

Curry Rice at Pasir Panjang Food Centre

Few days ago, I asked my colleague to bring me & try the famous curry rice at Pasir Panjang Food Centre.

She told me that the percentage of guys is always higher than the girls whenever she comes. I guess only rice can satisfy a guy easily. :P

The queue was long as expected but the speed was fast when serving the food! I was very impressed! I ordered cabbage, braised pork & sunny side up egg. So, the uncle poured the curry onto my plate of rice.

I would say every dish taste good! Hees...curry was just nice for me...not too spicy. It costs at $3.50 for each plate & I really find it reasonable.

Try that for lunch next time! ^^

Black Sheep Cafe @ Little India

Another gathering with my ex-colleagues again! Me & one of my ex-colleagues were cracking our brains on what to eat previously & she found this online. We saw pretty good reviews about it so we decided to give it a try!

Before entering the restaurant, the cute little black sheep has already attracted me & I am actually looking forward to seeing more interesting stuff. :P

I love the atmosphere as it gave me a relaxed feeling & I can even chat abit louder with my ex-colleague! :P

They served 2 types of set meals & ala-carte.We decided to order both set meals to try.

Wine Menu

 Mushroom Soup - As small as my finger :P

The portion of the mushroom soup was abit small but it was thick & taste really nice! We love it to the max! 

Hot & yummy buns served!

Bread came after the soup & was served hot! The texture was really soft. I love such breads! 

Escargots with garlic butter

The escargots were abit disappointing as the garlic butter taste was not strong enough 

*Thumbs down*

Foie Gras

I was shocked to see that there was only 1 pc served to me...kinda disappointed with the portion but it taste good! :P 

Baked Brie Cheese

If you are a cheese lover, you will love this because it is really good! I simply like dish to be served with fruits as it removes the grease feeling ^_^

Steak

The taste & texture are right for me! *Thumbs up*

Duck

 This really taste like heaven! The texture is sooooo soft! I really love this dish alot! 

Pork Cheek

This pork chop is soft & well-marinated. It taste really nice! For those non-beef eaters, you should consider this! ^^

 Tiramisu

 I love this at first sight! It looks so pretty & taste really good! This is the best tiramisu which I ever had in my life! 

 Chocolate cake with vanilla ice-cream

When we started our 1st mouthful, GOSH...it taste so NICEEEEEEEE!!! The cake simply melted in my mouth!

I really love their main courses & desserts alot & will definitely come back again one day! It really brightened my gathering! ^^

Coffee Stars @ Wisma

It has been 2 weeks I have not blog about food due to too busy with my new house recently. :P

Today, I am going to introduce some nice cakes where I had it at Coffee Stars on the eve of my birthday. It was a treat from my hubby! ^^

I ordered a slice of Durian cake. The price is abit steep. It costs at $9 per slice but the durian is very rich. I really find it worth the money. As Singapore is a stressful country where most are working hard to earn more, we should pamper ourselves once in awhile by eating some nice food to relax. Desserts make us feel happy at times. Must know how to enjoy hard while working hard ya!

My hubby ordered the New York cheesecake. I am kinda surprised when I took the first mouthful. It really taste fantastic as compared to others! I really high recommend this to all the cheesecake lovers! Go & try it! You will NEVER regret! ;)

Paradise Inn @ Nex

Last month, I went to dine at Paradise Inn Restaurant with my mummy & hubby to celebrate Mother's Day. My mummy loves their food & service. Likewise to me. As she reached earlier than us, she started to queue first because it was having a long queue. While queuing, the auntie service staff started to chat with my mummy. She is really a friendly person. When my hubby & I have reached, the seat was ready for us. 

We started choosing the food that we wanted & ordered immediately as all of us were starving. :P

The speed of the food arrival was fast & the taste was really up to standard. My mummy is an impatient person so their speed really meet her expectation. Haha...

Wet Napkin looks so atas :P

Kang Kong - This really taste very yummy! Such simple dish can cook till this standard. Really thumbs up!

Prawn Paste Chicken - This taste average & not that oily.

Salted Egg Prawns - This dish taste yummy if you are a salty egg lover :P

Hotplate Toufu - This is my favourite dish! It is so soft & the minced meat is really nice due to the fantastic sauce!

Cheap Japanese Lunch Set @ Ajino Mori (Holland Village)

I always pass by this Japanese restaurant but never wanted to go in as I thought that the food might be too expensive for a lunch but one day, my colleague told me that she has tried the food with my other colleagues when I was on leave and shared about the cheap lunch set. So, I decided to give it a try with her.

When I entered this restaurant, I really love the ambience! On the right side, they have seats like as if you are sitting on the floor but there is a hole below each table for you to rest your legs. On the left side, there are tables. So, customers can choose which type of seat they want. The lights are dim & I feel that it is more suitable to go at night.

They have many types of lunch sets. The prices range from $10 - $20 and most sets come with a chawanmushi, soup, fruits & small dishes like pickles & seasoned scallops which is considered quite cheap.

We ordered a Teriyaki Chicken set & it costs $10 only. We waited for about 20mins after they have finished serving a table of 10 people. I guess due to they have only one chef in the afternoon & that explained their slow service.

Hmm...the chawanmushi is not as nice as Sushi Tei...the Teriyaki Chicken is average...not that bad...I would say overall is average. We can't have too high expectations for a cheap lunch.:P

Special Dessert @ Oriole Cafe & Bar

After having a bad dinner with my bestie, I decided to bring her for a dessert in order to brighten our night. This dessert was recommended by one of my girlfriends. 

We normally will have cakes, fruits tarts, ice-cream etc for desserts but this one is neither one of them. It is called Eton Mess and it is made of whipped cream which is blended with raspberry sauce & mixed with strawberry, blueberry & sugar cubes. For people who love sweet stuff, you will definitely love this!

Din Tai Fung 鼎泰丰 (NEX Mall)

I have been going to Din Tai Fung for years & so far, their service & food have never disappoint me. The outlet at Nex is no exception. 

I like the way they manage their business where it has a high turnover rate on tables due to their prompt service & efficient speed.

虾仁炒饭 & 小笼包 are a MUST to have it there. I also like their pork chop too. It is not too oily & it suits my taste bud. :P

Chicken & Mushroom Pasta @ Coffee Bean

Once in awhile, I will lunch at Coffee Bean & will normally order my favorite Chicken & Mushroom pasta! It is neither too creamy nor thick for me. Taste just right for me! For small-eaters, please order the Kids' size for this pasta. I always order this size & the portion is just nice for me.Coffee Bean used chicken breast meat for this dish. Hence, it is not too fatty for people who wana go on diet. :P I love the mushrooms as the texture is very soft. And, do you know that mushroom is a healthy food? Hees...you can check it out online! For people who like creamy stuff, you will definitely love it! In fact, pasta mania lost to this if we were to compare the creamy pasta.

So, if you have run out of idea of what to eat for lunch, do consider this! ^^

Soghurt @ Nex

I always get to walk past this shop and understood from my colleagues that they charged by the weight. Thinking that it will be expensive, I give up on trying it.

One day, after having dinner at Nex with my lovely girlfriends, they suggested to eat yoghurt at Soghurt so I agreed to accomodate them.

When I walked to the yoghurt dispenser, I don't know how to use it so I followed what my girlfriends were doing...haha....then I chose marmallows, m&m, nuts etc to make my yoghurt looks lovely! :P

When I went to make my payment, I was surprised that it costs me at only $3.45. It is so cheap! Imagine we just need to get the amount that we want & top it up with the toppings that we like...isn't that great?

Yoghurts designed by my lovely girlfriends & me! ^^

MEGAbites Cafe

This cafe reminded me of my poly days...I used to lunch with my poly classmates at SIM. Food was cheap & yummy at that time! And of course, there will be crowds but it was easy to get a seat as the turnover speed was fast due to students have to rush for the next lesson.

Few years back, I found out that there is an outlet located at NUS. To my surprise, the standard of the food is still there & likewise to the price! I can't remember exactly what was the price during my poly days but it is still cheap to me until today!

I will lunch there whenever I feel like eating their yummy Black Pepper Chicken with pasta! They sell it as a set which includes a soup & that costs me only at $6.40. Cheap right? :P However, it doesn't have any black pepper taste when I eat that. It has a sweet taste instead.

Also, I do realise that their chicken cutlet was 1 of their best selling item. I seldom eat that as I afraid it might be too heaty for me. You may try it out one day when you are free!

NYDC at Holland Village

NYDC has always been 1 of my favourite restaurants as they served the best mudpies which I ever had until today.

I went to lunch at their Holland Village outlet on last FRI with a colleague as we would like to try their lunch set again. The previous time we had, was baked chicken rice & BBQ pork ribs. This time round, they have pizza, pasta & chicken chop. I am glad that the lunch set menu was changed quite often as I am someone who loves to try different dishes at all times so that I won't feel bored.

My colleague ordered a pizza set ($13.80) & I ordered the chicken chop set ($11.80). Each set comes with a soup, salad & either coffee, tea or soft drink. I find that the price is quite reasonable and we should have nice lunch once awhile! The serving time was just nice and I am really comfortable eating at there for lunch.

Chicken Chop was served with mashed potato, brocolli & carrots. It taste really nice & I simply love it! Mushroom Madness pizza looks plain but the taste was strong. I could taste the cheese that melted inside the mushroom! Thumbs up for their pizza! ^^

Careshop De Cafe (CCDC)

When I saw this restaurant, I was actually attracted by a poster on their spicy chicken wings with different levels of hotness. Hence, I decided to give it a try.

This restaurant looks casual & it doesn't have any crowd. Only a few tables were occupied. They provide good service & paid attention whenever I need their assistance.

However, their food does not taste that fantastic so I will not go back again...

Menu

Salad - It taste so so only...

Seafood Rice - Quite an interesting combination & it taste average.

Chicken Wings - The taste is not strong enough...but kinda hot for me for the mildest level

Steak with Sausage - The fries were the worst I ever had! Steak & sausage were so so only.
