Another Visit to Fern & Kiwi @ Clarke Quay

My 2nd visit to Fern & Kiwi at Clarke Quay.

First went there in November.

Revisited this place again for dinner date together with my hubby on Friday night (10 Jan'14). We were seated on second floor.

The service here is friendly and attentive. One of the staff who attended us last time still recognize us. Which is kinda hard to find, and making our experience even better there.

For our starter

Sea Salt & Pepper Squid (S$18.50/++)

The squid was beautifully cooked and crunchy! Generous portions for individual or for sharing.

Our drinks

Wine (S$8.50/++) & Champagne Cocktails (Mimosa) (S$20.00/++)

For the drinks, I ordered a glass of their in house wine which recommended by the staff. As for my hubby, he ordered champagne cocktail which he never tried before. The drinks was good and tasted great.

On to the mains!

Grilled Royal Pork Chop (S$43.50/++)

For my hubby, he ordered Grilled Royal Pork Chop. The pork chop was juicy and tender. According to my hubby, the pork chop doesn't even taste like pork chop, it's more like a steak! lolx!

New Zealand King Salmon Fillet (S$39.50/++)

For me, I ordered a New Zealand King Salmon Fillet. The salmon was really well done.

Total of our bill for that night was S$153.01 for 2 pax inclusive of GST and service charge, By using the voucher from Groupon (S$100 voucher), we end up paying S$53.00.

Overall, the food smelled incredible and service was really good! The ambience was fantastic! Perfect for a romantic night out.

One last thing, the washrooms was NICE and VERY CLEAN!!~

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.

Bliss House @ Clarke Quay

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.
