If you like something different from the regular restaurant EAT OUTS, you should visit BORSHCH steak house. Its further down the shop houses after SuSHi Tei at the Serangoon Garden area. I was around there and I was captured by the outlook of the restaurant.
It look rather retro, kind of reminded me of english coffee houses during the eighties at low level flatted areas. They serve a good variety of normal and executive set lunches and dinners at very value for money prices. Written on a standing white board is the menu and the items for TODAY SPECIALS. While I entered the Restaurant, it emits a RUSSIAN Ambience. Not the Chic Russian kind of look rather the HOMELY Russian Feel. With the neatly layed table, I sat down with my friend at the corner.
The walls were adorned with some pictures which were pretty old, not exactly pretty but very vintage.... I order a Lamb Shank executive lunch and it comes with a beef soup, garlic toast, dessert and coffee, all for $12.80.
The soup arrived quickly and I happily tucked in. It was tomato based beef broth, very savoury and healthy with lots of Vegetables. I personally felt it was a little like the Campbell's ABC Vegetable soup but as i had it more and more, it got more and more delicious. Its not too blend but of the right taste and i don't feel thirsty as when i always do after canned soup.
My Lamb Shank looked HUGE... The meat was tender and the gravy is scrimptiously delicious.... It is not bloachy like when you over do the corn starch, rather, its watery but you could taste the richness of the many ingredients added. Not exactly chuncky as the ingredients have been boiled to melt inside the sauce. The potatoes and vegetables by the side is nicely poached to perfection and goes well with the sauce.
Later, the dessert was a scoop of ice cream and coffee and i put the ice cream on top of the coffee to reduce calories and to make my favourite Leenie's AFFAGATO.....
After the scrumptious meal I need not worry about exercising off the fats, as i felt preservatives free and healthy.. *heehee*
Perfect for a ROMANTIC, DOWN TO EARTH Dinner...... FAB....
Blue Mist is a small cafe/Restaurant/Bar situated near the end of AMARA at the back, facing the small road.
A perfectly cosy place to chill out with your friends or to meet your clients for a short drink. This cafe bar though small, provides a plentiful of choices of food. And what more, a more plentiful choices of wines to choose from the rack. These wines are thoughtfully priced with the price tag, obvious but not offensive. Besides beer and wine you can also get carefully crafted cocktails and house pours.
I love to order a nice pot of tea and have their dark cherry and almond pie. I love that pie very much as it is so delectable. With its buttery crust and soft creamy fillings, who would not like something so delectable. Every bite melts in your mouth yet you can crunch on bits of almond slices... Oooh.... Its not too sweet but savoury enough. Sip on a cup of hot mint tea from their extensive selections and enjoy the bliss.... These tea leaves are freshly kept in jars and the visual effect is just fab....
Nice place to hang out, day and night.. and the service is also pretty good. You may choose to sit in or alfresco style... but when you sit near the clear glass partitions, please beware of the protruding glass slabs that you might bump your head on.. Overall, its a nice place.....
If you like SteamBoat and Chicken Rice, This is the place to be. They have been in business since before i was born and till today, business is still thriving. You can Imagine how yummy.
Located at a not so glamourous shopping mall. This steamboat restaurant serves one of the best chicken rice I had ever tasted. The chicken meat is soft and tender but not too oily. Steamboat is about the same but the ingredients are pretty standard with veg, fishballs, a little meat, sea cucumber, fish skin..etc...
When both combined... Everything just went crazily YUMMY... The chicken rice went so well with the steamboat. With a nice cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, it is completely appetizing, especially on a rainy day. Seeping the hot hot soup with a half cooked egg is simply a dream come through.
On some evenings, they also serve Pork Satay. Can you find another Satay Stall in a fully air conditioned shopping mall? There is also roast pork and if you like hor fun and other kinds of noodle dishes. They are cooked OLD STYLE and very yummy.
Remember to call to book your sits, sometimes its rather difficult as it is pretty popular.
Traditional SteamBoat with CHICKY Rice...... YUM YUM......
Pepper Lunch , by now is a new popular fast food chain serving up set meals on a sizzling hot pot right up to your table. It's like an individual serving of BBQ food.
Each set has a good combination of meat, vegetables and rice. A nice well-balanced meal, served fast cos it cooks at your table. :) A nice alternative to the regular fast food, but it's at twice the price.
What we ordered at the Suntec Outlet: Teriyaki Chicken Set Beef Pepper Rice
The place was rather empty (as it was a weekday) when we went in at 11.30am... we ordered quickly. They adopted a new system of seating people. They give you a table number suitable for the number of patrons and the huge number tags are already on all the tables. I think this is much more efficient and it prevents people from hogging tables far too big for their group. The Teriyaki Chicken set is their latest promotion so it's not on their menu on their website. The lady introduced it to me and I gladly tried it. There's also the Teriyaki Salmon set and Teriyaki Beef Set.
Our food arrived quickly. The young man who served us patiently explained how to cook the food and what condiments we could add. He said it quickly, clearly and with a smile.
Both dishes were good. The food tasted fine, partly due to our cooking. haha
One gripe would be the presentation of the food. They were very innovative in having the paper around the hotplate so that patrons would not burn themselves against it. But the chopsticks and the bowls are of very poor material, and quite ugly in fact. Another thing is that the salt and pepper container at our table was virtually empty. Since it was the start of the day, I would have expected everything to be nicely filled up.
By the time we left at 12.10pm, the place was nicely filling up with the lunchtime crowd.
Now.. I would like to try the cheaper Pepper Lunch at Century Square Food court... haha
This optical shop is located just right after you go up from the main staircase to the hawker centre. Although the shopfront is small, it is quite prominent and you should not miss it.
The shop owner is very friendly. He will attend to you for any question you may have. He will advise and suggest the right frame for you if you are not sure what you want. He is also a qualified tester who will test your eye sight and suggest solution.
At times, he can be quite busy and not able to attend to you immediately, but you can take what you want to buy by yourself because they are displayed at a reachable area. Most owners do not like this but it is OK with this guy.
Service is good and price is reasonable. It carries quite a variety of frame, solution and accessories too. Of course, the best part is still the 'on the spot' service which may not be possible in most shops now.
Next time if you want to make your glasses, try this out.
There is a Mc Cafe next to the mcdonald in Jurong Point and before the launching of the WIFI all over singapore, mcdonald had it launched first.
The Mc Cafe there is pretty nice and classy. with the dark brown theme, but the service is not so friendly. What more, there is only one power wall socket there and it is functional. But ONE DAY.. to many customer's dismay, it has been turned off... There is no power for those who brought their lappy there to charge for a little while. I mean, if you do not provide ample wall sockets thats fine, but if its delibrately switch off then that is unfriendly.
It has been functional for quite a few months and as the number of charging customer's increases it becomes non-functional. Who knows what happened to it...
Anyway, the sandwiches are nice and the hot chocolate is fabulous. I love the milk fluff they put on top of the hot chocolate and the chocolaty powders they sprinkle on top.. not to say the wonderfully matched mushmellows.. OH SO DELECTABLE.....
Not recommended for working or presentations to your customers.... If not.... bring your own generator......
Huge Red Chairs, Few Power Points, Fabulously Nice Coffee and cakes and Beautiful Interior Design....
Pacific Coffee is one of the few coffee franchises that offers comfy couches for customers to laze around. A perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon. This outlet at the Vivo city has a library theme. There are some really classics story books laying around for you to read them for leisure.
With the huge sits, one could not but feel AT HOME... The wonderful aroma of the exotic coffee beans lushes the air..... If you like Alfresco style.... You might wanna sit outside and enjoy the ocean breeze... They have these really nice swing benches for two...... Sitting on it really makes you feel young...
Of all the McDonald's I must talk about this one..... Our childhood memories, our pride, the Kallang Stadium. Eventhough it is now under Renovation, but the McDonald nearby there is still filled with people all the time. The food taste the same everywhere and the fries and sundae seemed ancient to me.. but this outlet has got plenty of power sockets for you to power up the devices especially your Lappy...
What good does it do when you have wireless internet without power sockets?
With this, many can study there, do their homework, do presentations to their customers and other business or sales persons can function from there. It is indeed a fabulous place to work in.. and what more.. there are PLENTY of FREE PARKING all over this outlet..... Food is priced at the same amount but it is more functional here... The location is out of town but not far away from town... Really a perfect place for corporate employees.
There is also an indoor play ground for your kids to play... A perfect place for the family. Can you imagine your Hubby reading the papers, you reading your online magazine on your lappy and your kids having a great time in the playground.. perfect for a non working day.....
Love Japanese Fastfood? Then you must come to MOS BURGER.. EVERYTHING is nice.... I wonder why....
I love burgers but with a tinge of japanese seasoning in them, I love it more.... Ever since i came across MOS Burger when I was a little girl Many many years ago, I was so intrigued that i spent the rest of my week having MOS Burger's Burgers for the rest of the week.
The Burgers, each nicely wrapped with soft and juicy fillings are simply irrisistable. My favourite is the MOS CHEESE BuRGer.... I love the many chopped onion soaked in delectable sauce and the OH Sooo... Yummy Myo....
My Dad and Bro loves the rice burgers. be it chicken or beef. They love the thinly sliced juicy beef cooked to perfection.... The Fries are normal but do ask for that extra sinful Myo... it sure goes well with the fries...
The corn soup is also very very nice especially with a huge dose of pepper. Not forgetting with the japanese salad with the refreshing sauce.
The next thing i loved most is the ICE MILK TEA... really creamy creamer they use.....
If you love ice cream or MILK SHAKES.. you must try their COFFEE SHAKE... its fabulously...... YUMMY... so creamy with a thick coffee flavour.
Ready for a FEAST..... Then you must come to HOOTERS.... I am not just referring to a feast of food, but also an eye feasting.
Whenever i walk pass HOOTERS.... It is not the food that attracted me, but the OWLs? Thats when OWLS have sexy tight butts in that OH SO SEXY HOT PANTS... n that so tight teeney weenie T-Shirt.....
HUSH HUSH..... I am an all Man girl and i LOVE MEN.... But I enjoy appreciating beautiful things, especially that of my fellow Sex....
So one day, Me and my friends decided to go for the HOOTERS EXPERIENCE and boy.... I just can't stop the boys from drooling all the time.... The food was OK... American style.... but the girls were so distracting.... Or perhaps i should say the boys were irritating.... They kept asking for more attention, requesting for this and that and ordered alot of snack and beers.... and subsequently asking the ladies for their contact numbers.. you know the USUAL.... They are exactly like the OWL, stalking at the waitresses walking here and there... at the same time acting indifferent.
The beer and the snacks is good... Then again.. the beer is always good... The chicky WINGS are fabulous... well marinated, crunchy and juicy...
But i am really impressed with the service of the waitresses. They are very friendly and nice, and they know how to reject you gently while providing alternatives at times.
For the Fun and the Good Services... Now i know why OWLs have got BIG EYEs........
