We dined out with complete strangers in hawkers/food centres where
meals were 'cheap' yet plentiful and the atmosphere buzzing, to the
exotic and expensive restaurants in the city. You can find the whole
range here.
We didn't go hungry!
Nasi goreng and satay @ Outdoors, Orchard Road
Durian ice cream!
Late lunch at Rocky Master by Dhoby Ghaut MRT, Orchard Road, for
massive hot chicken teriyaki club sandwiches like this
Fried prawn cakes and Thai satay starters @ Seafood on the Pier,
Boat Quay
Hong Kong noodles and honeyed pork
We had dim sum lunch in the Concorde food centre before meeting our
friends for kite flying @ East Coast Park
We were due to have the famous Chilli and peppered crab...
but decided to have the equally famous Peking Duck on the 35th
floor @ Pine Court, Meritus Mandarin
Exquisite dining, attention to detail, cute Jasmine tea pots
Fried Dim Sum and noodles @ Kofu food court, Palawan Beach on
Sentosa Island

Hard earnt treat of cafe and caramel gateaux from the very posh
"Canele patisserie" cafe in Paragon Mall, Orchard road
...my first experience of proper Teppanyaki at Chijmes I fell 'in
luv' with Rocky (too much sake) ;)
tofu appetiser
salad
Rocky cooked the most succulent salmon with delicious sauce
...and teriyaki chicken amongst other scrumptious dishes
...then his teases of "spider and snake skin" :)
...hanging out with some locals, eating wonton & noodles in
China Town's Maxwell Road food Centre for lunch
Excellent ribs, BBQ chicken and beer selection at Brewerkz, Clarke

Couldn't help myself while waiting for Groz to finish his working week
LOL

Japanese lunch set in Esplande Theatre complex
Teriyaki chicken

Great staff, fantastic food @ Tomo
it's an excellent way to cool off with an iced cafe latte from
reliable Star Bucks near the hotel, Great cakes and cheesecakes
too! (36 degrees C, unusually warm even for here!)
Thai food @ Boat Quay, during the River Festival :)
I love Thai green curry (chicken) with Jasmine rice even if the
coconut cream is fattening LOL
Thai Noodles with spicey prawns
Red Thai curry (chicken), sweeter than the green curry
Tastes of Singapore lunch @ Sentosa Island, Imbiah station including
Laksa, Tandoori, Terryaki chicken and satay beef Singapore on a plate
:)
'Posh' fusion restaurant My Humble House @ Esplande
We had the "Someone is singing behind the mountain" menu
They frown upon many things, one being NO photography inside BUT
everyone was, so.....
course # 3 - steamed cod
course 1 was gorgeous crispy crab meat cigar, and battered king
prawn course 2 was shark fin and crab meat soup (no photos)
course #4 sauteed beef tenderloin
course #5 crispy scallop roulade
course #6 spicy meat ball and noodle soup
Great setting over looking the river/harbour with River
festival fireworks reflecting on the buildings and river.
Slight downer overly attentive staff (brought the rich food too
quickly) other clientele not abiding the dress code or behaving in a
respectable way I expected more from such an expensive restaurant!
Happy Hour every night in the hotel Executive club lounge ;) The
sushi, samosas and dim sum were lovely and the staff delightful I shall
remember them for many years to come. |
