Cafe Epicurious - Mixed Review

Image
Brunch lovers? Then you should go Cafe Epicurious. If you google the name, you will know where to find it.There are two places where you will find them in Singapore and I would recommend the branch at The Quayside. My first visit was to The Quayside branch and the location quite out of the way for me(Well, since public transport is my only mode of transport). The bridge that leads to Cafe Epicurious. But! It is a trip worthwhile.  As the food was too tempting for me, I forgot to take photo and only got these two pictures to post. Egg Benedict (Poach Eggs) with sides of your choice and fruits.  Pancakes with Strawberry and Banana I had the poach eggs (not the egg benedict) which was done nicely and they manage to make the flower shape... amazing!  Everything is nice and I got no complaint other than the portion served. (I admit. I am a big eater!) Hence, I ordered more, which is the pancake. The pancake reminds me of MacDonald pancake, light and furry. 

Korean Drama 49 Days

Synopsis : Shin Ji Hyun was enjoying absolute bliss as she was about to marry her fiancé, Kang Min Ho, but her perfect life is shattered when she gets into a car accident that leaves her in a coma.

Foodie Times Boomerang @ Robertson Quay

Brunch time! The very first brunch visit with my friends. A search from the web display this place as one of the brunch location but I am not recommending to this place to those who do not have big appetite. The presentation of the food looks excellent. 3 Eggs (comes with 4 triangle slices of thick toast) (The fillings: Shaved Leg Ham, Mushrooms, Tomato) (SGD $14)  You can choose 3 fillings from the list below (any additional filling is an addition of $1)   • shaved leg ham • smoked salmon • spicy Italian sausage• salami • baby spinach • Spanish onion• tomato • mushroom • cheddar • jalapeño • capers • Kalamata olives • The egg omelete was well cooked.  But personal preference would be towards the type of egg omelete texture, something similar to McDonald's Big Breakfast. For those who dislike buttered toast, rest assure as the toast they served doesn't do so. They provided the butter for you to decide how much butter you want, or if you decide to hav

Foodie Times Ootoya @ Clementi Mall

Image
Went there with my mom and sis and wanted to have Japanese food. After much consideration, we went to Ootoya @ Clementi. And indeed, " This is one Japanese restaurant with no ramen, sushi, sashimi, nabe or yakitori. " Source Despite that, we still go ahead with our plan. Queuing is expected but if you are looking for someone to be waiting at the counter to guide you to where the queue is, don't! Ask the people where the queue is. There were two things that surprised me though.  Call me a "mountain tortoise" but I was amazed by the pen ordering menu BUT I didn't get to use it because I didn't even know about its  existence  nor did the staffs tell us about it. The pen was at the door entrance slotted nicely and even though the menu had instructions at the bottom of the menu but... Well, maybe it is still in testing phase and not available for use yet, I don't know. So, we had to call for them to take our orders and they memorized our

Arab Street

At the suggestion of good makan (food) place, we headed to this place at Arab Street (near Bugis). Well, the very first thing before we even met was me praying that it won't rain when we are there. (And days ago, I was praying it will rain because of the hot and stuffy weather where there wasn't any wind at all.) Anyway, it stopped raining by then we yes, we made it to the place. At my friend's recommendation, I tried this indonesia dish called Sate Padang. Everything looks similar to Singapore delicacy - Satay but the meat that this eatery used is beef (which I was trying to convince my friends it's mutton but I was wrong) and the sauce is toward curry flavor gravy.  Sate Padang  Pricing is $6.00 for a set (7 sticks of satay + lontong) For big eaters like me, of course I was complaining that I am still not full! Thus, while walking around to look for photo-taking spots + more FOOD!, I was brought to this eatery full of dishes. In the end we settled for kuehs only.

The trip to Tanjong Pagar Railway Station - KTM

Image
Took a trip to Tanjong Pagar Railway Station - KTM before it is officially closed (shifted location). Above is a side view of the entrance. As you can see, the weather didn't look welcoming. But what do we worry about since we are sheltered in the train station We were about to left when we suddenly saw this train. For a moment I thought it was there since we got there. But as you can see in the previous picture, it wasn't. So it's just me imagining things. LOL
