Fern & Kiwi @ Clarke Quay

Dinner & movie date with my hubby on Friday night! :)

Made a trip down to Fern & Kiwi near Clarke Quay to have dinner after work before heading to a movie date. I had bought a voucher through DEAL.com.sg S$120 Dining Cash Voucher (paid only S$60 instead of S$120).


Fern & Kiwi is a restaurant that serves authentic New Zealand food located at The Cannery in Clarke Quay. They had a bar downstairs and a restaurant upstairs, and I've bought the voucher dined at upstairs.

As usual, to save the waiting time of queuing, I've made a dinner reservation at 8.30pm on a Friday night.


"Kia Ora" is a greeting in Maori, New Zealand, which is the equivalent of "Hello".

Simple and Uncomplicated Menu

The dessert menu

Here are the dishes we ordered:
Pure South New Zealand Beef Fillet (Well Done)

Pork Spare Ribs - A Lone Star Classic

"Lady Claire" Potato Fries

Pineapple & Fruit Punch Juice

Trio Ice-Cream - Comes with 3 flavors Vanilla, Chocolate & Strawberry

 Using the voucher, we only end up paying S$16.48. If you are dining without the the voucher, you will probably need to spend about S$130+ for 2 person, and depends on how much food you order too.

Overall, the food is nice, the ambience was cosy and the service was excellent.

MUSEO @ Quayside Isle, Sentosa Island

Happy Halloween & Happy Deepavali!

I have bought the promotional coupons from Groupon which is super value for money. For S$73, I get a 4-Course Premium Set Lunch for Two Pax (worth S$112.99) at Museo after hearing many good reviews on this restaurant. 

Since the coupons going to expire soon (valid till 6 Nov 2013), I've took one day leave on Friday (1st Nov'13) and bring my hubby together.

This is the first time I visited MUSEO, pronounced "Moo-Zay-O", which means museum in Italian. It is located at Quayside Isle on Sentosa Island, next to W Hotel. Thou getting to the location was not convenient, not a very public transport friendly place but it's definitely worth going there for meals. :-)


Lovely place with an unique environment. We were impressed with the ambience.


 We really enjoyed the presentation of everything brought to the table! Everything is so artistically presented.

I've actually make the reservation one month ago.We arrived on dot for our 1:30 reservation. We get the sofa seats next to the windows with a splendid view of the marina littered with lavishness yachts.The entire environment really make you feel like you on holiday.

A new cozy dining place Bliss House Theme Restaurant found at The Central Clarke Quay. The restaurant serve up some innovative modern-European food in a beautiful garden setting. 

It was such a pretty place like walk through into a secret garden, filled with flowers, green carpet grass and white furniture which me & my girl friend are absolutely adore and we just couldn't stop taking photos! Here's the photo below we would like to share with all!

This is the entrance to the restaurant. Flowery theme with so many roses decoration! Sweet!

After walking through the main entrance, we were greeted by a fairy tale scene. My favorite part! *scream* A horse carriage with decorated floral all over.Very romantic and pretty place for photos!

A smoking water fountain and an absolutely charming little bridge that bring you across to a magical place.
