Biscuit King

I've always wanted to pay Biscuit King a visit. Why because I find it so expensive to buy the girls biscuits nowadays. They've been eating biscuits more than they eat their rice.

And so, we went one fine day after a visit to Bishan.

We bought 5 tubs of treats for the girls and ourselves! Kae was so excited picking out her biscuits from the huge varieties they had at the shop. And she also had fun looking at all the old school toys available at the shop too!

Wine Connection

Another day, another dinner place to think about. This time round, we decided on the Wine Connection. 

The place was too dark, so I couldn't take any nice photos of the food we've ordered. 

All in all, the ambience was nice, even though it is a drinking place, there are plenty of high chairs for the kids. Even when we were there, we see quite a few families with kids dining there too. Food was not expensive, and plus the huge choices of booze, it sure is a popular place for many adults.

Gunthers

I met up with Clarice and Ginny to celebrate Gin's birthday.

Initially we wanted to dine at Akashi, but as Clarice was tied up with some work, we decided on Gunther's Restaurant at Purvis street, which is near to her office.

We had their set lunch of which I love the first dish!

One of the girls opted for the soup, which was served like a cappuccino.

My main dish was the steak of course, which was just average to me.

The girls ordered the pasta as their main course, and according to them, wasn't that fantastic either. The prawns were not fresh.

Their dessert of the day was really good! Panna Cotta infused with a tinge of lavender.

Happy birthday G! Many more happy years to come!

Saveur

I was all excited about making my way down to Saveur for lunch today.

Much hype has been buzzed about this French eatery which serves quality food at a super cheap price. Think coffee shop prices.

I reached at 210pm. Their previous website at saveur.sg (which now links to their Facebook page) states that the place is opened till 3pm, and last order will be at 245pm. The hostess then told me that the information had not been updated, and that the last order is now at 215pm. And she told me that  they are already closed for lunch. Hey, it was not 215pm yet. She sensed my unhappiness, and then changed her tone and said reluctantly that I could still have lunch there but I have to order NOW. And so I took a look at their menu and just ordered whatever came to my mind. 

I only ordered 2 dishes. And the first dish was their angel hair pasta with minced pork and shrimp. At $3.90 a plate, I don't think I can fault the dish. Except I felt it was a tad dry.

Next was a big disappointment. Their foie gras. Which costs less than $10. They no longer serve a bigger portion of the liver, and so I had to make do with the teeny weeny portion. The exterior was not crisp as I would usualy like my foie gras. The whole liver was just too soft. 

I left the place feeling unsatisfied. Maybe I had too much expectations of the food due to all the hype. But then again, for the price, I shouldn't complain too much. I bet many people will still flock to the place for french food.

Mum's birthday dinner at Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck

We always try to eat at different places for our parents' dinner, and this time round, we brought them to Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck at Paragon for my mum's birthday dinner.

Okay, we ate there for Chinese New Year, but it was for a different occasion, so that didn't count.

We didn't really know what to order, so we just went with our gut feel. But of course, we had to order the duck, which was their signature. You need to make an order for the duck when you call to make reservations. And reservations are a must, they are super packed daily with 2 seatings.

Next dish is broccoli and mushrooms. Yum!

My favorite dish of the night, steamed egg white with crab meat. Lovely! I could finish the whole plate! 

I always tend to order salted egg squid. And the one served at Imperial is super yum! The salted egge tastes so good with the chewy squid. 

Their fried prawns is average, though their prawns are really fresh.

A super oily and sinful pork ribs. We had trouble finishing this.

It is always tough to take photos with the girls. Even if it's just one of them. 

Finally, a decent picture of the girls with their grandparents.
