Mad Jack

Fish & Chips...



it was sooooo good! the fish was thick and fresh!

and we ordered 3 cakes to share....



the cakes were all mediocre. the brownie was even wrongly served. it wasnt served warm. it was cold and hard initially until we checked and they warmed it up for us.

POMO Japanese Village

after work today, i arranged for dinner with the DS team. It was just 4 of us. Raymond, meng meng and ding dang!

so we went to the japanese village at POMO ...



shared a pork belly...



taxed on meng meng's beef patty omu rice..



the beef patty had a strong beefy taste which was good. the rice was also pretty tasty. its one of the better dish compared to raymond's rice and ding dang's ramen. haha

it was unsatisfying for them.

Il Piccolo

ordered pizza for the family today...



calamari...



which was not nice.. the texture was bad, taste was bad.

smoked salmon pizza... parma ham pizza and some bacon pizza...



only the smoked salmon one was special and worth ordering. the parma ham was very disappointing. not had such bad parma ham before.

triple cheese pasta...



the pasta was good! even the kids loved it!

dessert...

panna cotta which looks like tao huay...



a little too sweet and too watery.

Tiramisu...



ok, not too bad.

they all liked it!

Canopy

after work today, loh gong zai came to look for me and together we went for dinner at Canopy. Its sort of like a belated birthday celebration for him.

the place looks very nice to be at to chill and hang out!



salad was smoked duck with mango...



the duck was pretty tender.

lobster bisque....



the soup was not bad, relatively flavoursome.

for mains, i went for the crab meat linguine....



it was ok but lacked that punch. can afford to add more crab meat n chilli.

loh gong zai had the braised veal cheeks...



the veal cheeks were pretty good. tender and the sauce was flavoursome too.

desserts!

loh gong zai chose a creme brulee that was very non orthodox...



it was served cold with lotsa different kind of berries on top. its sour rather den sweet. even the custard area was sour. I hated it. loh gong zai didnt like it either.

i went for the sticky date pudding....



Oooo.. yummy!!! reminds me of that from Broth.. just dat it doesnt come with sour cream. i still think Broth's rendition is the best i've had so far! that sour cream with butter scotch combination is simply fabulous!

Cova

dinner tonight, i met up with miss piggy and ah mah pig to celebrate ah mah pig's birthday.

Cova has always has this appeal coz of their decor....





and their appeal is particularly so for their pastries.. they always look so pretty and desirable!

we were first served the complimentary bread...



aside from bread, they also haf some kinda cheese cracker which was really good!

for mains, we had the veal checks pasta...



this was really good. the sauce was red wine sauce and the taste is there.

beef cubes pizza...



ronald tried to warn us saying the cheese they use is duno wat cheese so its a bit more intense and may not necessary suit everyone's palate but we actually found the cheese not smelly enuff. haha.. but its a good pizza though. its very thin!

we also had a truffle sauce gnocchi....



the truffle cream sauce was really good although i still dun find gnocchi appealing. haha

den it was pastry time!!



we were so excited and these were the items were selected!



we were sadly disappointed! i think the pastry shop opposite my house sells better cakes! im not kidding!

Overeasy

Siqi's birthday celebration at Overeasy...



mojitos...



i forgot to try! haha

i had an oreo milk shake!



thick!

we shared the food.

club sandwich...



prawn cocktail...



eggs benedict...



nachos...



been looking forward to dining at Overeasy but the food turned out to be just mediocre.

Bosses

Brought mummy and chandra for lunch and mummy chose Bosses....



their appetiser of some fried fish skin is really yummy!



its really crispy!

the siew mai...



not too bad, comes with fresh prawns.

salted egg nai huang bao...



they didnt allow me to take pics of the salted egg yolk paste oozing out.

feng jiao..



not bad.

har gao...



also not too bad. prawns were fresh.

mummy insisted on some mao shan durian puffs or something...



she said they are famous for this. i didnt try coz i dun like durian. As mum tried, she commented.. " not nice.. mao shan durian is not like this one " hahaha..

The.Indulge

we went to the.indulge at the cathay.

overall, they loved the food i recommended. but i gotta say, the standard for this place has dropped greatly.

the chinese salmon sashimi....



the salmon and the avocado is no longer in thick cubes like it used to be so in terms of kou gan (texture), its not as hearty to savour in my view. doesnt look as presentable as well.

the prawn in garlic mayo...



the standard for this remained. it was good.

pasta wise, i went for the lobster pasta with cream sauce...



the pasta sauce was fabulous like before. squiddy tasted it and raved abt how this is probably her favourite pasta from now on. i really like it too except that i noted the lobster is not as sizable or fresh like before.

fishy had the aglio olio lobster pasta....



was also good. same comments for the lobster.

squiddy had a chicken chop...



which she found to be of very good standard as well.

MOF

lunch was at MOF...

the very yummy green tea latte with whipped cream and caramel...



everyone whom i've recommended this to, likes it!

meatballs!



not too bad but ikea's is still the best!

shuping's sandwich...

Ah Chew Desserts

we adjourned for desserts at Ah Chew...



i went for my usual papaya milk. i like how the milk gets sweetened after the papaya. Jiahao had the yang zhi gan lu which i didnt try coz i dun like mango and kaizhi had a very refreshing strawberry with aloe vera!
