Bar & Billiard Room

Dinner with Cynthia at Bar & Billiard Room @ Raffles Hotel...



the interior of the place....











this place really has a strong colonial charm which i really liked.

food wise..

there was potato soup and beef broth.. cynthia took the potato soup ...



it was not bad.

i was meaning to go for the beef broth but eventually forgot coz there was too much to eat. haha

the chilled seafood section....



check out this huge crab....





the crab was nice!

oysters...



didnt find the oysters very fresh though.



but i love them big prawns!



they are really big! and fresh! they have them bbq-ed and boiled. Very yummy! i had like 4 - 5 of them! *bliss*

the appetiser section....



some of the items...

pate...



smoked duck...



smoked salmon....



and some of the savoury items....



there was cream cauliflower, cream scallops (yum!), beef stroganov, tomato chicken, cream salmon and another cream sauced beef cubes...



they all taste REALLY REALLY GOOD!

more importantly, they have a bbq section where there are chefs who will do the bbq....



maybe other hotels have bbq sections as well but most of those which i've tried doesnt have a bbq section. even when they do, the items arent as fresh or as good in quality as over here!

check this out...



the sausages are so good! the steak is in big pieces and of the right doneness and the prawns are the big big ones! Hao hao chi!!

pasta was the tortellini...



which was just so so, nothing impressive.

desserts section...





They also have the mini chocolates.....



and fondue....



i really like their buffet. its by far one of my favourite hotel buffets.


Buffet dinner goes with $69+++ per pax

Krispy Kreme

dear dear called me and said she's got krispy kreme for me, a whole box!



shared it with a few who also finished work late... clammy was also still around and she liked it.. but we found it though soft but too sweet.

Miss Clarity Cafe

Gathering with scandal, aura boy and Dennis at miss clarity cafe.

Nuggets....



the standards for clarity's nuggets have dropped. It used to be much more tender and i really liked it. Now its still ok.. but not wow-ing for me.

the mambo jumbo cheese fries....



yum yum!

scandal went for the 'seafood and eat it'..



which i found it generally pretty alright.

Dennis went for the chicken cordan bleu..



i dun like it because its breast meat.

aura boy went for the chicken ballotine....



tender chicken stuffed with mushrooms. this is pretty nice.

and myself, i went for the beef stew...



not as nice as my first try but better than my previous try.

we also shared 2 desserts, the mud ooze....



which i know is much raved about but i still don't really fancy it. Aura boy likes it though.

tiramisu...



quite interestingly, i could taste oreo bits inside. It doesnt exactly taste like the refined kind of tiramisu but its good for a sweet end to a meal.

Pictures of the food are proudly taken by Aura Boy. haha

Ju Shen Jung

Dinner with Vreniz is at East Coast Park's Ju Shen Jung ... we are celebrating my birthday today!



its a korean bbq place which Vreniz has chosen.

the place is very spacious!



the whole place looks really korea-ish..



some of the food....



some vegetables...



the vegetables are meat to be used to wrap our meat but we quite sua ku, we didnt know.. we only realised after we've finished all our meat. hahaha

meats wise, we ordered pork ribs....



some mushrooms dat came along...



the bbq...



and beef....



the bbq....





the best thing is, a server will come round to help u bbq!



the pork ribs was nice... the beef was fabulous!

some of the side dishes....



generally found the sides nice as well.

we also shared a ginseng chicken soup....





which is pretty good. ginseng taste is not strong but its good.

we also shared a stone rice....





its very nice! but portion is small... that big stone ball was only enough for 2 bowls.

at the end of the meal, the lady passed us this drink..



they said its some complimentary tea or something. this drink is quite amazing.. its got like the different tastes! there is cinnamon which is like sweet, there is ginger which is spicy! interesting drink.

Vreniz treated for the meal, thank cute!
