One Rochester (my birthday celebration)

Joanne brought me to Rochester.. near buona vista...



The place is called One Rochester...



As i walked in, it gave me abit of a slight Villa Bali feel....



Also alot of greens and very much of a chill out and drinks kinda place.

This is was first served to us...



some light starters of ikan bilis which was nice!

This is their menu....



On the first page it read....



" Welcome to One Rochester. Singapore's newest lush retreat. Redefining the way friends meet and unwind over drinks and conversation "

After we took our orders, we checked if they served iced water but the server informed they only had still or sparkling water.. Jo said we can probably order still water first before ordering other drinks.. i somehow had this feeling that the still water would be very expensive so i asked the server to get Jo her still water while i filped thru the entire menu coz the drinks on the menu were mainly wine, cocktails or other alcoholic drinks etc..

Just when i wanted to ask Jo why dun they haf more normal drinks... i saw this...



The Not So Wild Stuff... haha... and that's where i found good old coke and i immediately alerted Jo that her still water costs a freaking $8!! Soft drinks only cost $6. haha.. she immediately changed her order to a sprite and i got a coke...



Surprisingly though the drinks were kinda steep (in my view dat is), the food items pricing was ok.

Our orders....



I chose the vietnamese pork spring roll. I've kinda developed a liking for vietnamese spring roll.. their clear rice paper skin.. hehe.. gives a very refreshing feel... i just like it.

We also ordered bite size chicken pie which Jo thinks it was quite good.. i think its just not bad.

Fries is almost a must for Jo... their fries were not bad.. they call them Rochester Spicy Potatoes... sprinkled with pepper and chilli..

and other items included...



Fried toufu which was not bad.. very soft toufu..

Rochester steak... quite yummy... i liked it.. pretty tender!

and our feast for tonight...



and a round of drinks bought for us by sugar....



fruit punch and red wine.
