[Foodie] Fullhouse @ Rendezvous Hotel

Hiya Readers!!!

Today I visited a very cute theme cafe in Singapore! Yes, it's Fullhouse Theme Cafe (Address found at the bottom of this post). It is such a cute cafe, so remember to bring your camera! The entrance is located at the 2nd floor of the hotel.

 

Haha... and yes, Tracy is there to welcome you. There... a picture of Tracy happily smilling away with a plate of cake in her hand. Please feel free to take pictures with her =D

The staff who brought us in was very friendly. She jokingly said "you wouldn't think that because we are called fullhouse, it will really be full house ya..." The place is very cosy and resembles a house. With a living room, a balcony and a bedroom.

The menu was done in a unique manner. On the front page were cartoon drawings...

Of course they have the ala carte section, but since we were there during lunch, we ordered the lunch set, which were also drawn on. I wouldn't want to spoil the fun for you, so I will only show you the page that we ordered...



Set 1: Thomas's Favourite Meal (S$18.90)

- Ice Lemon Tea

- Soup of the day

- Spaghetti Pasta and Turkey Ham and Mushroom Creah

Set 3: Tony's Favourite Meal (S$19.90)

- Iced Lemon Tea

- Soup of the day

- Wok-Sear Chicken Chop with Daily Vegetable

 

What fascinate me the most, is probably the likeness in the cartoon drawing from the menu and the real thing. They do look similar, don't they....

The Soup of the day has something to do with carrots. Basically, the soup was pretty bland when we first tried it, and we wanted to ask for black pepper to enhance the taste, but as we drank, it seems better. So in the end, we did not call for black pepper. The Spaghetti was nice and I like the creamy taste.

As for the Wok-Sear Chicken, it's yumlicious. The chicken was very tender and soft and easy to cut. The sauce had some black pepper in it, and it was a little sweet. But it works for me, since I like it that way. As for the mash potato, it was okok, because I tried better mash potatoes before.

We sat there for a while and decided to walk around. The place has many spots worth taking pictures. For those who are getting married, you can consider Fullhouse as one of your choices to take pictures... There are some spots located at the first floor...

 

On the first floor, you will find Tony and his mini copper :) It is real fun because we get to sit in the car and take pictures...

 



Do drop by for dinner or lunch ;)

[Foodie] SPR.MRKT

Hey Readers!!!

Today I'm going to share with you this little cozy place that I happen to chance upon one Saturday :D  *excited* Well, how do I know of this place? It happen on a Saturday when I was with my friends. Was hungry and thus decided to try out this place for our Saturday Brunch!

What's this mysterious place??? Haha... okok, I spoilt it in my title.... but in case if you don't know... it's......

This is what we order.................

Eggs Benedict / Florentine (S$14)

Seriously, pictures don't look as nice... but this is simply delicious! The salty ham goes really well with the tender egg, and there were bits of sour cream power (you know... those sour cream potato chips ) sprinkled on the egg. I felt that the egg was cooked just nice, it won't break that easily and goes totally well with the ham and mini toast. Totally mouth-watering.

Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs & Toast (S$16)

As for this, there are 2 ways to eat it. And both of the ways are awesome. The first way is to eat it individually. I love the scrambled eggs totally. It's soft, fluffy and milky! Yumz... The salmon is quite salty, but smoked salmon is meant to be salty ya. Thank God there are no burns on the toast, so that makes it totally cool! The second way is to put the ingredients between the toast. Earlier, I mentioned that the salmon is salty, so by putting them together, the egg would compliment the salmon. So the salmon will not turn out to be too salty.

Housemade Batter Pancakes with Maple Syrup, Fresh Cream & Mixed Fruit Platter (S$14)

Of the 3 dishes, this is probably my favourite. The pancakes are not those you find in McDonalds. It's totally awesome! Why? Coz, firstly it's thick! Yes... THICK! I was quite appalled when I first saw it. The butter and the maple syrup compliments each other. I was totally in loved with this dish when I took the first bite. It fluffy and it somehow melts in your mouth. I consider myself to be some what a light eater, but I finished majority (oopz) and felt really full after that -.-"'

In conclusion, you play for the quality. This is a little on the pricey side, but the quality... it's awesome. Do pop by some time to try out this place. But, the serving of the food can be slowwww..... So patience yah! Don't worry, the staffs are really friendly too ~~

[Foodie] Twelvecupcakes

Hihi Readers!!!

Heard of Daniel Ong & Jamie Teo?  I sure you all know them as Deejays before. This time they set up a cupcake shop called "twelvecupcakes". On impulse, I went to their Thompson Road outlet =P I was momentarily in awe by all the colourful cupcakes, and that's explains why I did not take any pictures of the outlet. Haha... Chose 3 flavours to try....

Cute pinkie box! It looks like there are targeting the ladies who have sweet tooth. The 3 flavours are .....

(From the Right to the Left)

Red Velvet
(Vanilla Cream Cheese on a Classic Red Velvet Cupcake)
The topping is smooth and creamy. One would think that such cream will be hardened after being exposed for some time, but the furry texture still remains. I like it that the taste is not too sweet, and there's also a hint of yoghurt taste ;) The cake at the bottom taste a bit dry though, but it's not dry to the extent it crumples upon biting.

Rainbow Vanilla
(Rainbow Vanilla Cream Cheese on a Light Vanilla Cupcake)
This cupcake taste like the Red Velvet Cupcake, just that the cupcake is different (DUH!) The topping is the same as the Red Velvet one, except the base is a little bland. This cupcake would be wondeful for those who do not like too sweet cupcakes. Personally, I prefer the Red Velvet cupcake.

PB Jelly
(Fluffy Peanut Butter on a Moist Chocolate Cupcake)
The PB Jelly taste like the Goober Peanut Butter and Jam. The first bite was that the Peanut Butter taste was overpowering. Probably a little too much. If you are a peanut butter lover, this would be awesome. This cupcake and the Rainbow Vanilla cupcake have the same cupcake base.

Overall, my favourite is the Red Velvet cupcake (yumz). There are many other flavours as follows :-

[Foodie] Boon Tong Kee @ River Valley Road

Hihi Readers!!!

It's been a long time! Today I'm going to blog about this really awesome place which sells delicious Hainanese Chicken Rice. It's none other than Boon Tong Kee! When we reach the venue at 7pm, the place was already filled with customers. However, we did not wait long for us to be shown to our seats =D

The first thing that greeted us were the appetizer - peanuts, which were placed on the table as soon as we sat down. Do note that the peanuts are chargeable.

Appetizer (S$2) / Towel (S$0.30)

We took a while to select our dishes. The waiters and waitress were attentive despite the peak hours.

Braised Beancurd with Crab Meat and Fish Roe (S$16.80)

What I liked best about this dish is the beancurd. It's not only soft but its also melts in your mouth. The fish roe and crab meat supplement to make this dish complete. Yumz...

Signature Boiled Chicken - Half (S$13)

The chicken is tender and not overcooked. It's goes perfectly well with the chilli. However, the dark soy sauce is normal though. Usually established chicken rice stalls will have their special dark soy sauce.

Chicken Rice (S$0.60)

I was very thrilled when they presented me with the Chicken Rice in a pyramid shape! It's totally cute and unique, isn't it =) The rice do not have that overpowering garlic taste but subtle enough to match well with the chicken. Oilyness just nice, as chicken rice should not be too dry or too oily.



I believed that this place will ultimately be a tourist attraction as it's an wonderful place to dine in. Furthermore, Singapore is well known for her Hainanese Chicken Rice.

Yes yes, I will revist again ^.^

[Foodie] Kay Lee Roast Meat Joint

Dear Readers!!!

The recent hype on Kay Lee Roast Meat Joint offering to sell it's secret recipe for S$2 million caused an uproar with nearly neverending long queue outside their stall located in Upper Paya Lebar. And yes, I was one of those "kaisu" Singaporeans. Don't laugh!! Before the advertising on the newspaper, I went there once...

When we reached, there was already a queue formed all the way to the Bak Ku Teh stall -.-"'

As we approached the front of the stall, the aroma of the ducks caused my tummy to rumble.

And, the Lady Boss in action, chopping the Roast Ducks into smaller edible bites.

Finally, after queuing for more than an hour, we finally placed our orders. I know what many of you are thinking right now! Silly Singaporeans in action. But it's more of a personal achievement when I finally managed to eat them...

Whole Roast Duck (S$46)

What I like about their famous Roast Duck? They don't have a ducky smell unlike some places. Some of you may find the meat a little on the tough side but it's actually because it's leaner. Also, there isn't any thick layer of fats underneath the chargrilled skin and when paired up with the gravy it's delicious!

Char Siew (S$10) / Roast Pork (S$10)

How about their Char Siew? It's nicely grilled with a gently charred appearance. Meat tend to be oily but its the best meat plus oil combination of Char Siew making. For those who are afraid of the oily meat may pair it with the unique yellowish gravy that is slightly sour as it neutralises the oily texture. The way the Char Siew was cut into bigger and thicker slice helps in improving the texture when you chew. This is unlike the typical Char Siew outside where it's thin and you can hardly taste their seasoning and the charcoal "burnt" taste.

Roast Pork? Sadly, this pales in comparison with the first 2 dishes. Taste was fairly nice but could be better.

Overall, the duck was good but not good enough considering the price and the long waiting time. I love their Char Siew and felt that it's worth the S$2 million price tag but for the Roast Pork, nah... I had better ones. Because of the long waiting time, I don't think I will revisit again.

[Foodie] Melt @ Mandarin Oriental Singapore

Hi Readers!!!

I was browsing through my pictures when I realised I didn't blog about my Valentine Day buffet dinner (it was worth blogging). Okok, I know it's a month ago... well, better later than never right? =P Anyway, we celebrated our Valentine Day at Melt. Upon reaching the venue, we were brought into our reserved seats without delay.

On each tables was a beautiful and fully bloomed rose for the ladies. Awww... so sweet of them...

I was charmed by the presentation and selection of the food. There was a large variety of them, and among the various stations I was instantly drawn to this... FOIE GRAS STATION! I was like "What!!! They have a Foie Gras Station!!!" This is a station which I have yet to see in other buffets...

Yumz! of course Melt also have the usual stations such as sushis, sashimis, seafood, oyster, pasta, meat, desserts, etc... Pictures shown below...

Since it was during Valentine day, their desserts are mainly design in a romantic way. Lots and lots of hearts and love all around. It's a really pretty sight...

Overall, the buffet isn't really cheap. Maybe it's Valentine Day, we spent $108++ per person. In terms of service, they were rather attentive, plates were clear fast and it's important. Recently I went to have dinner at a place and they take a very long time to clear the plates. And the tables that we were in, are very small. So yep, clearing the plates fast is an important factor to me.

I also felt that they serving the foie gras gives them brownies points. Haha... really unique. In terms of taste, they are one of the better places to have buffet in. If you want to pamper yourself, why not this place?
