Sparkling or Still: November 2012

http://sparklingorstill.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 28, 2012. The Courtyard @ Fullerton Hotel. Our quest for high tea continues with Fullerton Hotel. Although the high tea here is very popular (especially Japanese customers), but there are ample seats available and making a reservation 2 to 3 days in advance should not be a problem. Although the high tea is situated within the courtyard, but the entire area is air-conditioned. The menu. English Afternoon Tea here costs S$42, including a pot of tea. A selection of sweets and desserts.

Monday, June 24, 2013. Paradise Pavilion @ Marina Bay Link Mall. One of our favourite place for weekend Dim Sum is at Paradise Pavilion, which is the flagship restaurant of the Paradise Group of restaurants. Located at the new Marina Bay Financial Centre, it's quite difficult to get a table with prior reservation. It is that popular. Decided to cool things down with a pot of Chrysanthemum Tea (S$3.80 per person). Started our Dim Sum brunch with Deep Fried prawn with mango roll (S$5.60). Forbidden Rice Du...

Tuesday, September 10, 2013. Summer Pavilion @ The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore. Been a long time since we had lunch at Summer Pavilion over at Ritz Carlton. Summer Pavilion has always been one of the Chinese restaurant with excellent service. These big windows reminded me of the TIE Fighters. Summer Pavilion has a very homely feeling to it. The restaurant isn't too big, and the service is great. Chinese Tea and crackers (S$5 per person). Mango Sago (S$10) and Almond Tea (S$10). Where I Have Eaten.

Friday, January 25, 2013. Han @ Odeon Towers. Located at Odeon Towers, Han is a high-end Japanese restaurant. And this restaurant specializes in one thing which is seldom found in Singapore - Kushikatsu, which is skewers of seafood, vegetable or meat coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried till crispy. Started our dinner with Appetizer (S$15) : Grilled fish with vinegar, pickle with cheese, kohada sushi, black bean, octopus and daikon. They are all seasonal ingredients. Lotus root and scallop. We were ser...

Thursday, April 24, 2014. 心斎橋フレンチ Bistro Nid d'Oiseau @ Shinsaibashi. We didn't make any lunch reservation today in Osaka. So we flipped through the Michelin guide and most of them are full. Then we decided to target those "Michelin Recommends" restaurants where they don't have any stars, but are singled out for great food and great value. Started off our lunch with champagne. The Amuse bouche for our set lunch: grilled chicken and mini soup. We were blown way by how delicious the soup was. For me, I ver...

Tuesday, January 28, 2014. House of Indocafe @ Scotts Road. Many of you would have noticed this row of black and white bungalows along Scotts Road. A few have reopened as restaurants.

Saturday, October 05, 2013. Taratata Bistrot @ Keong Saik Road. Had our first dinner at Taratata Bistrot not too long ago. This bistriot has opened for quite some time over at the ever changing Keong Saik Road which saw many restaurants come and go over the years. Thanks to the checkered floors, the entire restaurant has a "Parisian" feel to it. French onion soup - Not too salty, and it was pipping hot. Really hot. Ordered a glass of red wine, but find the wine only so-so. 35A Keong Saik Road. The Landin...

Friday, April 19, 2013. L'angelus @ Club Street. L'angelus which is located along Club Street, has been serving traditional French food for a long time. We have been here a few years back, and tonight we are back for some hearty French food. Upon arrival, the service staff will bring out warm and freshly baked bread rolls. It tasted heavenly with the French butter. The restaurant looked empty at 7pm, but it was almost full by 8pm on a weekday night. Soup of the day - Pumpkin soup. Ended our dinner with F...
