Kith at Quayside Isle

We have been drinking coffee from Kith Cafe without trying their food. Tonight, we decided to take the plunge. This time round, we ended up at the Quayside Isle (again) branch. Yes, we have been heading there pretty often for food and scooting/cycling for the girls ever since we applied for the Sentosa Islander card, which gives us unlimited island admission at a rate of $25 per year per person per car. Woohoo!

While we wait for our food, the girls colored and drank. 

And the food came. One discovery we made today. Kerri loves to eat Parma Ham! We ordered the parma ham cum mozzarella cheese with rocket salad as our appetizer and the cheeky tigress ate like 80% of the ham! Expensive taste this girl has.

As we were not that hungry, we had a burger to share. Loved their juicy beef patty with the generous toppings of cheese on it. 

Their coffee was as usual strong and fragrant.

After their dinner of bolognese spaghetti, the girls diverted their attention to the few toys available for kids having their meals at Kith Cafe. 

For dessert, we ordered their chocolate molten cake. Their chocolate sauce really oozed out of the cake as it was not as solid and sticky as the ones we have at other places. It is more like hot chocolate sauce in my opinion. But hey, who can ever complain about hot chocolate? The girls had a great time having the cake and the chocolate sauce!

Coffee Club at Siglap

When we were living at Pasir Ris, we would head to The Coffee Club at Siglap for dinner maybe once or twice a month. The manager of that outlet is very friendly and while we were fretting over what food to order for the girls, she volunteered information that the chefs could whip up a simple dish of tomato based pasta for the kids. Service from the staff had been impeccable. Plus the fact that the manager can always remember us, even when we head there once in a while after we moved to Shelford Road. I always tell dar that it's him, because people tend to remember his face. 

After a rebranding to O'Coffee Club, we have not been to their branches as often. Plus the fact that one for their more popular branch at Takashimaya had been closed for a few years now. This is because a majority of their branches do not come with the full kitchen, so we will not be able to order certain dishes like their slipper lobster linguine. 

Heading back to O'Coffee Club at Siglap is always nice, like returning to familiar territory. That is why we still head there once in a while, even though it is so far to where we live now.

Runs in week 2

For my 2nd week, I decided to increase the distance to 6km. When I run, I need to have a target in place. It makes running easier for me knowing that there is an end point in sight.

1st jog in week 2: 6km in 49 minutes and 23 seconds, and finishing 6.5km in 54 minutes and 28 seconds cooling down.

2nd jog in week 2: Timing was slightly better.

And I decided to run for 50 minutes this time, so I continued.

3rd jog in week 2: While the timing for 6km went down slightly, I persevered and finished 6.5km in 52 minutes and 15 seconds. Cooling down to 7km in 57 minutes and 26 seconds.

My motivation for running this week? Macaroons from Canele! Haha!

Maison Kayser

I met up with one of Kae's friend's mummy from Julia Gabriel times for lunch. Yup. The proud mummy of a boy and a set of twins who are turning 1 year old soon. 

We chose to lunch at Maison Kayser located at the basement of Wheelock Place. I've always assumed they only serve bread and pastries, and sell food like sandwiches for dining. But when I saw their menu, I was pleasantly surprised at the decent range of food they have for dine in customers. Yes, while they have the usual salads, bread and sandwiches, they do serve a decent range of western food and pasta. 

Trying to eat more healthily, as I always remind myself, I chose their salad lunch set, which comes with a basket of refillable bread, a soup, a chicken salad, and a drink (which for me is coffee of course).

My photos doesn't do justice to the food, I have to apologise. The soup was not bad, the bread was divine! A basket filled with 6 (I think) different types of bread was the bomb for me, since they are known for their bread. Plus it is refillable! Maybe they should just have a bread set lunch! I can find no fault with their grilled chicken salad with mushrooms, since the big portion already won me over.

A fairly nice place for lunch. Will be back!

Koh Grill & Sushi Bar

Me and dar arranged an impromptu lunch today and we decided to take the opportunity to head to Koh Grill and Sushi Bar located within the food court at Wisma Atria Shopping Centre.

We didn't order the Shiok Maki which many many bloggers have been raving about. Instead, we ordered 2 of their set lunches. I had their sashimi and salad set lunch, while dar had their sushi set lunch. 

Mine.

His. Plus a small bowl of udon noodles.

I thought that the sushi set lunch was of more value since it seems to fill up the stomach more with the carbo and there are slices of fish too! 

I think one main draw of Koh Grill and Sushi Bar is their thick thick thick sashimi slices. Totally yum! I will be back for their shiok maki next time!
