Equinox

Today i meet up with JJ to celebrate my birthday!


the great view over at equinox...









we both agreed dat despite other places coming up with the city view, we kind of prefer the one from swissotel.

the interior of equinox...





for the bread...



complimentary appetiser...



for starter, he chose the lobster (or prawn) bisque soup...



it was pretty good. he liked it so much that he actually missed it. i seldom have JJ telling me he would miss a particular dish. i tried it, if i recall correctly it has a tinge of lemongrass taste. i found it special but didnt particularly love it. i usually like my lobster bisque to have a very strong hay gor taste. hehe

and for myself, i had foie gras!



it was a good portion... was pretty good. but its not easy to go wrong with foie gras i guess.. i loveeee foie gras! hehe

for mains, he went for the roast pork...



i think it was not bad. the meat was really tender (which i like). the skin was crispy but a bit hard to bite off.. its not like the roast pork kind of texture, its smooth as u can see in the picture. i generally prefer the roast pork kind of texture.. it usually is much easier to bite and chew in my view.

i went for the steak (can't remember what cut.. hehe)...



YUMMY!! the sides were slightly salted and its super tender! but sadly, portion was stingy!  interestingly, they also gave a side of the beef marrow.. just had it at Le Bistro Parisien with the fun team the other day, is beef marrow going to be the nxt up and coming (or it already is but i dont know) thing on menus?


my margaritas craving was still on so JJ ordered one for me..



i prefer ice blended margaritas!

but interestingly, they gave chocolates with it!




it was a good dinner. thank you JJ!

Swensens

after i got home, mr chua suddenly called and asked if i want ice cream and he came to pick me up for ice cream at the airport.



he had his baked rice and coz he was keen for 2 flavours, he made me share also...





the swensens used to be one of the pioneers with baked rice. sadly i think their standards have dropped. overall still decent.

and we had a topless five...



really like their yam!

Tony Romas

we headed for lunch at tony romas.

complimentary bread..



like that garlic-ky butter thingy they have.

we shared a baked potato soup...



so good! the soup is thick with chunks of potato. really yummy!

for mains, i had a rib n steak combo...



the ribs were not bad. meaty and easily off the bones. sauce was not overly sweet. their steak was pretty decent. a good portion.

sonia was craving for steak...



sonia treated! thank cute!

they made reservations for crystal jade korean ginseng chicken & bbq at centrepoint.


the korean bbq here is quite good. even i who had initially wanted to skip this meal coz i had some food earlier couldnt resist it and joined them in the meal!!

some small dishes before the bbq...



i like the bean sprouts dish. the bean sprouts so big!!

the meat!













if u dont already see it by now, the meat is so fresh!!



its really very yummy!!


aside from the small dishes and the bbq items, they actually also have a huge variety of korean items like ginseng chicken soup...

also included are the desserts...







simple desserts but overall yummy.

Sushi Tei

lunch with marc at sushi tei. i had the tuna minced rice...



it was good. been awhile since i had this. but i seem to recall i prefer waraku's better (if they still have it).

marc's japanese curry rice...



i realise men like japanese curry.
