Eastern Cafe at River Valley Road

The worst possible breakfast one can have on a public holiday... I should have just made my way to Beo Crescent Market or even Zion Food Market.

Carrot Cake - Lo Bak Go - more like a flour cake ... I did not taste any radish in it at all.

Half boiled egg overcooked

Teh had a bad after taste...

Overall FAIL!

Gatsby Bar & Restaurant

Dis place is situated at Chijmes (courtyard dere) & was having 50% off everyfing except wines all nite. Now. 50% SHOOD be half off everyfing, rite? Cos it included main courses. But it's actualli 1 fer 1, wich is basicalli dat, if yew orda 2 meals, yew pay fer (de mo expensif) one. Wich is fine & dandy, but it's abit misleading la. BUT a place has gotta mek munni, sumhow, rite? Cood be a bit less misleading tho. BUT...... Deir bisness was boomin & deir regulas come back fer mo. So....... Oh.. we almost starved, waitin fer de food fer 45mins, as well.....

Jian's Meditarranean Seafood Platta ($28) in lemon butta tarragon sauce. Inside got clams, 1 (?)mussel, prawns, snappa & capsicum 7 onions. His sauce was quite tasty! I dunno why de 1 (ONE) mussel tho.... Toppd wif parmesan cheese & baked......

My Stewed Lambshank ($25). It was nowt bad. I wish it was softa tho... Twasn't tuff, twas ok..... Gravy was nice. Veges were abundant..... I woon mind comin back tho... onna WEEKDAY. Too many Ang Mohs on weekends. Gimme headache...... Totali bill was $60+, wif 2 drinks each. De wait staff know how to swirl de bottle of Erdinger towards de end, whilst pouring.... Laalaalaa....

Bei Fang Feng Wei @ Pearl's Centre 01-24

We went to watch a derty movie dis aftanoon. Afta we bot de tix, we at lunch at dis (insert name) place. We noticed it de las tym we went to watch anotha (pathetic) derty movie. Dey haf anotha (prolli de main) branch at Smith Street asso. Dis stall is run by 2 Chinese nationals. Dey're pretti gewd! & I double checkd de meat in de dumplings. Din lewk (or taste) lyk solvent-soakd cardboard. We shared de Beef Noodles (soopy one. Dey ran out of Zha Jiang Mian), Fried Tofu in Chili & Pan-Fried Dumplings (Gow Gees, to our ang moh frens. I am furry amused wif de way dey spelt it inna cookbook dat I bot, nowt too long ago).

'Where? Where is my food??'

YUMMY! It tastes FURRY MUCH lyk de beef noodles frem Crystal Jade!!!!! & de guy pulls (meks) de noodles right in front of yer face!!! Fresh noodles!!!! WOW!!!!! Fer a mere $3!!!! I cood eat dis evryday!!! We wantd to orda de Zha Jiang Mian, but dey din haf.... Anyways... No nid to fret. I can walk ova any tym (lyk real all, de lazy fuck, dat I am).

Dis one came wif rice, actualli. We din wannit, so we returnd it to dem. Nice. Dunno wot kinda chili sauce dey use, tho. I lurv tofu, so pretti much any tofu (I havn't tried Smelli Beancurd tho) sits well wif me. I especialli lyk de wobbly kind, lyk dis one. $3.50.

Dumplings were alright. Which is nowt a bad fing, realli. I cooda said dat dey suckd, rite? De haf pre-prepared dumplings in dis fridge (de kind dat yew open frem de top, lyk de kind dat de ol lady in Desperate Housewives used to store her ice cream & her dead husband in) & dey boil em or fry em on de spot. Akcherli, I suppose yew cood say dat de dumplings were pretti gewd la. Yummy. Oh & dey got a few different kinds of condiments. De chili dat Jian took was pretti tasty. Is de type of chili dat has a thicka consistency. $3.50 fer de dumplings. Which brings it to a total of $10 fer de both of us!!!!! WOW! & den we went to Portobelle to eat & drink $77 werf of food & beer. Dat post will come lata.

Dere is anotha eatery in Chinatown dat is pretti gewd too. I fink it's on Smith Street as well. It's calld Vietnamese #1 (yar, I KNOW de food group is nowt de same, but de area is.... HAAHAA). In my eyes, it realli is yummi. My tum finks so too.... Run by troo bloo Vietnamese. I will write abowt it next tym asso. I realli feel quite lazee now.

Fish Tales - Clark Quay

Actually I first knew about Fish Tales awhile ago, I was introduced by a friend that is mad crazy about oysters as well! They were having their Weds $1 Oyster special.... I had been there many times in the past year ... never really enjoyed any of their other dishes until ....... recently when I went back with Satellite.

Initially we were on our way to Hooters, and had already been seated inside Hooters; unfortunately, they told us, no steamed clams and no oysters, all sold out .... or something like that ... couldn't really understand the accent on the waitress. Oh yah, and the waitress didn't really understand what I was saying so ..... let's leave it at that ... Yes I was frustrated! I had gone all the way down and they didn't have the things I really felt like eating .... Poor Satellite had to deal with my childishness and my walking off to look for another restaurant .... Yes I can get quite rude at times ....

So low and behold, we went to fish tales cause I knew I can get oysters there! Anyway, well what do you know ... Monday's is special for lobster .... my lil crustacean friend .... yummmy .... and finally finally it was from BOSTON and I didn't have to chop off my arm to pay for it!!!

So Satellite and I shared a half dozen "nude" oysters, crab cake (wah it was huge!) and of course my BOSTON LOBBY .... STEAMED not BAKED! I don't know why but so many people mess things up when they bake it .... Oh and of course oysters goes with Bubbly, so we tried a bottle of bubbly, Odette Pol-Roger. It was nice, no wonder Winston Churchill was a long time customer...

Seriously though, 1 crab cake can be considered a meal there for those of you that don't eat much ... The lobby had a lemon butter which I didn't quite like, so I asked them to just give me some plain melted butter .... I feel that's the best way to eat it. Oh yah, and I forgot to take the pic of the lobby ... I was too excited to eat the darn thing ... so here's the mega huge crab cake!

As usual my photos suck ... gotta get a real camera sooner or later!

Home Made Burgers

I dunno if dis is a gewd fing, or a waste of time fing... I suppose it depends on who's doin d cookin, rite? Anyways, dat day I attemptd to mek burger patties. Din turn out furry well, fer 2 reasons: One, I was tryin to cut down on our salt intake. Two, I went trigga happi wif d lemon.

1 Lunch and 2 Dinners

Brussels Sprouts
80 Mohammed Sultan Road #01-12 The Pier @ Robertson
Tel: 6887 4344



A beautiful day like Sunday landed me at Robertson Quay... my favorite hangout place on Sundays; you gotta love the ambience. And instead of coffee, tea or juices, we started with the typical breakfast for a sunday!

So the day of festivities started at Brussel Sprouts for lunch, really besides the beer being slightly reasonably priced, the food itself is no big hoohah... I mean honestly, the mussels that they so claim popularity for was smaller then the head of the fork ... basically pathetic ... now for some self praise ... I heard a few friends commenting that my impromptu sake mussels tasted better! Here are some pics for ya! Oh yah, the sausages were cut, so they look even more ugly then they actually are... hahahahaha ... One more thing to add, they have free flow fries with an order of mussels.

Unfortunate for you all, I didn't go out with my handy camera and was just using my phone to take pics, so the images are really off in colour.

Expensive food but cheap drinks and nice comfie decor, but I think you would rather stick to sitting inside cause the outside seats do get pretty warm. If you are looking for better mussels, you may want to try out Ooster http://www.oosters.com.sg/ at Pekin Street, I hear they have a good selection of Belgian beers as well.

Oosters' address:

And off I went with Lynx and Rice King to Crazy Horse for their last show, and of course I had to try the food before they closed ... so there we went for a rushed dinner! Ambience is lovely, love all the red and plush everything ... so cozy I wanted to sleep ... I mean honestly all of Crazy Horse is like RED, very classy not gaudy type.

The food was good, we had a type of crab meat salad which was deliciously done, and then shellfish bisque, which kind of tasted like penang prawn mee soup base, which we also loved; lastly we tried the steak (rib eye). Pretty much a thumbs up, too bad not many people knew about their restaurant ... from my understanding, there set lunches were reasonable.

I won't bother with posting up the address because they're closing down anyway and whatever takes over that spot will probably have a new kitchen crew and all.

I find it pretty disappointing that people don't know how to enjoy the Crazy Horse show as a type of French Art .... I mean honestly speaking the end of Crazy Horse may set back the education that Singapore has been trying to promote by maybe 2 years. Too early for their time, but of course the show does get stale if they don't do anything about changing the sets; however, that being said, Crazy Horse could have done more ... so I guess they weren't fully ready to take on Singapore and Singapore also wasn't ready for something like this.

Guess what, after the show and all, we were still having our little hunger pangs, so we went to search for food. We were supposed to go eat Naan, but then we came across Park 10, Korean Cuisine and Izakaya Bar.

Park 10, Clarke Quay, 3B River Valley Road, #01-14, Singapore 179021

Last order is at 10:00 I think and restaurant closes at 11:00.

We ordered bbq beef ribs, pork collar neck, raw beef, and miso beef soup; all were pretty delightful. Unfortunately, the pricing is still pricier than our favorite Da Chang Jing, but what can I say, when you are craving for food, well you just gotta go eat it! Also they don't give as much side dishes :-( But to add to the plus part, the alcohol isn't expensive, we paid about $18 for a small bottle of sake. The thing about this place is I don't think they allow you to cook the food, so it's not as fun ... they have this big charcoal run bbq pit that they do all the bbq'ing in. Nice posh up class Korean joint!
