Brazilian - Brazil Churrascaria

Lea and myself went over to Sixth Avenue to meet up with Henry at about 8 pm for dinner at Brazil Churrascaria...



the interior of Brazil Churrascaria....



the starters...



First was to go for the salad bar...



Although the salad is free flow but chances are, u'll only go walk there once because after that, servers would come by like this...



offering us meat, meat and more meat!

Here are some varieties....



There's beef tenderloin, beef ribs, roasted pineapple, snowfish....

and ham, pork loin, beef slicies, chicken heart.....



and chicken, beef ham, sausages...



Was so full by the end! Like im gonna give birth soon! Probably twins! But totally enjoyed it! I actually felt dat i din eat alot.. i mean, i feel dat i can usually eat more but somehow recently i dun eat as much as before. Well, should be considered a good thing i guess.

In the end we ordered drinks trying to aid digestion.. the very friendly and nice lady server suggested one of their speciality drink to me...



and henry had wine...

Cafe - Can Cafe

Went over to Can Cafe with Fiona after dinner.....



The interior of the place....



It gives a rather westernised retro nostalgic feel.

We had drinks and calamari coz Fiona was craving for some munchers...



I recommended Fiona to try their speciality which is iced cube coffee. The ice cubes are in coffee flavour and with shapes!



u see the heart and the star shape?

Myself, i ordered the ginsheng bird nest drink. I like the taste.. those who dun like ginsheng may not like it.

Cafe - V8 Cafe

Met up with Fiona at Bugis V8 Cafe.. she suggested the place.

and this is the menu of v8 cafe...



There was actually quite a crowd....



Pretty crowded even for a weekday.

We were served the soup of the day - mushroom dat came wif our orders of main course....



Taste was alright.

We ordered the cocktail samosa under Fiona's recommendation....



It was not bad, very crispy. I even had to soak some in the some to uncrisp it. haha... just a personal preference. hee...

For mains, i ordered beef lasagne....



after watching Garfield crave for it yesterday in the movie, i was craving for it. The lasagne i ordered was alright.. din find it fantastic.

Fiona ordered a black pepper seafood pasta....



It was rather tasty.

And for drinks....



Fiona ordered a shirley temple while i had a iced mocha. I had wanted an iced earl grey with a scoop of vanilla but for dat scoop of vanilla, i had to pay an additional $2.80 so i opted for the iced mocha instead.

Buffet - Aquamarine (Marina Mandarin Hotel)

Dinner is to be at Aquamarine, the buffet restaurant of Marina Mandarin....



Sorina introduced the place to us...




The price of the buffet is halved if u pay using the HSBC card because its 1 for 1! Dats why Meina said they haf a free slot and asked me along offering to treat me. So nice!

Ok, the food!

Theres sashimi...



and the usual seafood...



The star is usually the oysters...



and over here, they open the oysters right before u...



and check out the mini tabasco sauces they haf....



My oysters...



using my palm as a gauge, check out the size of the mini tabasco sauce!



So cute! We wanted to kup and bring a few bottles home! haha.. but we din in the end.

There's also sushi and chawanmushi...



And see how Meina tries to hide the rice of the sushi dat she can't finish....



hahaa.. she hides them in the oyster shells!

and some of the cold cuts... there's ham, roast beef...



goose liver pate....



and there's salmon and roasted potatoes....



Fish maw soup....



Prawn dumpling soup....



The server who helped me wif the prawn dumpling soup was very friendly. He later came to chat wif me when he saw me taking pics. His name is Aaron.

there are also tempuras...



and roast beef...



cheese lobsters...



Cheese platters....



chinese rojak...



indian rojak....



And even bbq items outdoors! This other server was nice enuff to pose for me!



And this is him grilling the food...



The outdoors of the restaurant...



and while i was still having the mains of the buffet, Meina's sis and husband is already tucking into the dessert and they recommended this chocolate cake...



Its REALLY REALLY GOOD. It really MELTS IN UR MOUTH. Its not too sweet, just nice. I dun even feel 'gerlard'! Its so good! The big strawberries as well, they are so so sweet! Omg... not sour but really really sweet!

And she also got me chocolates...



for desserts, theres also the chocolate fondue....



Realised dat alot of buffet places are bringing in the fondue machine.. haha..

And there were also nonya kuehs...



And other desserts....



The green tea mousse was nice!

and the spread of desserts...



Look at this cake...



it looks so pretty doesnt it? So classy! The taste was alright.

and there was also ice cream... but coz we were mostly very full, we opted for the lime shorbert....



We believe that because its sour, it helps to aid digestion! haha..

And i went to steal the strawberries on the other cakes because the strawberries are really oh so sweet! And they are big too!



Just when i was about to walk away wif my strawberries, Aaron came along and chatted wif me again.. hehe.. i told him i love the strawberries and he directed me to where they haf some fresh cut strawberries and he also asked me if i tried their panna cotta (can't remember the exact spelling) and he also directed me to it.. he said its really good. So i took on his recommendation......



Seriously its quite nice. Cant quite discribe the taste... its somewhat like yoghurt in a more solid custard form.... i really quite liked it!

We walked out and this is a lounge like place outside Aquamarine...
