Seah Street Deli

after work, met up with squid and clam for dinner. we couldnt decide what to have so decided to meet up at bugis first. Seah street deli came to mind but when we entered, we kind of left upon seeing the prices. $30 for a salad!?

we adjourned to ms clarity cafe (a place that we werent even sure if it still exists). it was except it seems very different now. they only serve buffet dinner and for tonight it was fully booked coz they apparently sold some coupons online.

soooo.. i made them head back to seah street deli because my mind was already set on the pot roast and salad. heh



we shared a fish and chips...



supposedly quite special to have some duno what cheese inside. not really. i think my house downstairs the western food stall one is even nicer. but then again, its not exactly bad.

beef pot roast....



love the sauce. its very good with mashed potato below. beef is thinly sliced but not very tender.

my freaking expensive salad...



wheres my thick stripes of beef.

without the feed at raffles discount for amex cards, i dont think i will ever return to seah street deli for its super expensive salads.

Happy Crab

happy crab! located at geylang lorong 31...




marc swears by this place. the bbq crab, seasoned with salt and pepper..



with loads of egg roe....



everyone gave their thumbs up.

Bar Stories

after dinner, we thought of heading for some drinks and bar stories came to mind....



wasnt sure if we'd get seats coz am under the impression its usually mad packed but i guess we were lucky...





i strongly recommended the strawberry shortcake and minako ordered that...




as it was shared around, true enough, everyone was in awe. wow! its really good!

and as usual, there really wasnt a menu or so.. it was all ordered by adjectives. like i want it sweet, i want something sour, i want something exciting.

keiji wanted something sweet and he got a kyoto grape something...



it was nice too.

i requested for a honeydew sake...



which was what joanne ordered the other time and i remember it was good.

loh gong zai wanted something sweet so he got a passionfruit something...



and for round 2, minako wanted something sweet. the bartender Jeffrey asked if she likes chocolate and she said yes. i thot he was going to prepare the chocolate flambe martini for her like the last time but it came up to be this...



initially we were all wondering, wheres the chocolate? is this the right drink? until minako took it up, gave it a sniff and ohhhhh it smells like chocolate! and it tastes of chocolate although we couldnt see the chocolate. it was good too.

loh gong zai wanted something refreshing and exciting and he got a rosemary drink. really some excitement going on there....







the burning of the rosemary added flavours to the drink.

and keiji wanted something sweet and exciting so he got the chocolate flambe martini...



yummy!



warm on the outside, chilled inside. thank you jeffrey and bar stories for the great cocktails.

Brazil Churrasco

today we are having dinner at Brazil Churrasco because loh gong zai wanted me to think of a place with buffet and with lots of meat coz keiji likes loads of meat. Brazil Churrasco is the obvious choice. Located along sixth avenue....







oh yeah, we're ready for meat and more meat!

they give out those bag hangers for ladies, mine matches my dress!



first you start off at the salad bar...



good variety of items but i reminded the three of them to take sparingly because the meat that's coming up will be killers....



they each othered a cocktail. apparently this is a brazilian drink. its like a really strong lime mojito...



and not before long, the servers start coming out with skewers of meat!



garlic beef..



the guys love the garlic beef and went for more!

rump beef....



love the rump beef!

fish...



fish is decent but seriously, if you dont take beef, not worth coming to this buffet.

chicken...



chicken is ok as well but seriously, its the BEEF (and probably lamb) that scores.

pork ribs...




good taste but not very meaty.

chicken heart....



today's one was ok. a little rubbery in texture. i remember previous time i had it was better.

beef ham...



i like the beef ham as well.

Tenderloin...



tenderloin is a bit too tough today.

PINEAPPLES!!
  



love their pineapples! soooooooooooooo sweet!!! everyone had many portions of the pineapple!

smoked duck...



their smoked duck is great as well.

ham...




didnt try the ham because as it got here, i was stuffed to the max already!

oh and totally forgot about this starter which is a cheese taste like pastry...



minako and keiji really liked it. i thought it was ok.

Cold Storage

its ren ri, 7th day of cny and mummy prepared yu sheng with super thick pieces of sashimi that i like!!!



YUMMY!!

yu sheng is from cold storage and its not bad!

HUAT AH!!!

Hotel Intercontinental - The Lounge

and after lunch, they wanted coffee / tea so we headed over to the lounge and mr tan ordered more food though we were all stuffed!


he ordered a 4 tier high tea...







i had a hot chocolate...



and we also shared a dozen of satay...

Chikuyotei

arranged to go bai nian with mr tan and being the usual generous boss, he brought us for lunch at the japanese restaurant at hotel intercontinential - Chikuyotei...






the thick and heavy menu...



we each ordered a different set menu and shared the dishes. some of the delicate starters...



the special and worth mentioning one is the vegetable jelly. its something uncommon though taste is not extraordinary.

tempura...




sashimi...



tea pot soup...



kurobuta pork...



the pork is not bad, pretty tender.

but what is most wow is their wagyu beef!!



the beef is really tender and tasty! although its a freaking small portion.. it also has a very very interesting brown cube beside. its very special. its a cube of soya sauce. the texture is very unique and burst into liquid in the mouth. i really enjoyed it!

sushi...



cha soba...



dessert was their sorbert...
