have been to quite a few neat eating places the last 2wks and dun have time to update.. so gonna do all at one go!!
*THE QUEEN & MANGOSTEEN*
this is the british pub/restaurant tucked somewhere in vivocity the ambience is great and they serve quite good beer.. it is called archipelago or sth... it comes in 5 diff "flavours".. i ordered the one that was brewed from of course wheat .. and lemongrass and ginger.. it took me awhile b4 i kinda tasted the tinge of ginger and lemongrass... but my greedy monkey took a sip and cringed at the strong taste (so he claimed) of the ginger .. ever since i got back from bintan... i became addicted to lemongrass/ginger teas and drinks ... i think it is an acquired taste! and it has good health properties too~~
i had the mini burgers with chips (i.e. fries) ... the fries came in a mini bucket.. i think both of us managed to finish only half of it.. dont have pics cos i forgot to take.. but you can see pics and reviews here http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/the_queen_mangosteen/
*TEN THOUSAND ANGELS*
i LOVE this place! it is next to Spotlight in PS.. the decor is lovely more towards english/eclectic... the tea cups and all are really pretty and dainty... its kinda like a life-size doll house..
although they dun have alot on their menu.. the food is pretty yum yum... i had the Decadent Salad.. it had grilled prawns and foie gras *slurp*
for a change i had rose tea :) i jus love the aroma~
*PERLE NOIRE*
on sat we went to this french place at siglap.. the ambience is quite nice too except the service was abit slow... cos i had a really heavy mother's day lunch at simply peranakan earlier that afternoon.. i ordered a pumpkin soup and olive bread roll quite yummy... my carnivore ordered some duck breast thingy which was quite good too... he and his beer .. me and my ginger lemongrass tea... again he cringed :p i really should try putting lemongrass/ginger essential oil on me one day..heh..
since we were in a rush to catch the "Angel & Demons" movie, (btw i love all the architecture of the buildings in the show) we din have time to nibble on the cheesecakes next door.. so tabaoed some home ... before i could take a pic of them the next day... they were all eaten up.. it goes to show how good e cake was! so i only managed to take a pic of THE BOX...
with all the rich food... i think i need to put in more effort to keep fit... cos i dun have super high metabolism and skinny genes like my greedy monkey... bah~~ not fair!
