Paris Baguette Cafe @ Wisma Atria

My first time visiting Paris Baguette Cafe at Wisma Atria! I was there for light pastries after shopping with my godson on Sunday noon. It was packed and we had difficulties finding seats. This entire place is serve by koreans.

Paris Baguette Cafe, a french-inspired cafe that has its origin from Korea. Located at level 2 of Wisma Atria. It replaced the original Ding Tai Fung area.  

They offered wide range of selections of sandwiches, breads, brunch, desserts and drinks for you to choose from.

Unlike most cafes, its self-service ordering system. Customers have to march up to the sandwich/bread/cake counters for their orders, pay at the cashier and self serve to table. Also, the cafe is a free sitting concept, so be prepare to have people looking for seats and looking at you while you are eating, especially when your plate is about empty.

  

The food was served on a tray with a nice paper.

White Bear Cheese Cake (S$7.50)

Berry Berry Buttons (S$3.80)

Chicken Sandwich (S$8.50)

Apple Pastry (S$4.00)

Mushroom Foccacia (S$3.40)

Overall, everything look so good and yummy! Also, the ambience was also good which makes it a good place to chill out for tea time!

They have opened an outlet at JEM which nearby to my stay-place so it's going to be convenient for me to try other the main and salads which Paris Baguette offers. Looking forward to my next visit!

Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill @ Marina Square

Was sourcing a nice restaurant to dine in with my friend for our Thursday night movie and dinner date. Happens to see an online deal from Groupon, a french steakhouse at Marina Square so decided to give it a try!

Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill, a french steakhouse with the a Hippo mascot. Located at Marina Square #01-204/205. The place wasn't fully packed at about 7.40pm. It is good place for a casual dining. The ambience there is really good and lighting are cosy.

 Once settled down, we are served complimentary home-made chips. Crispy and yummy which you will not say "No" to it. Heheh

The main course comes with 2 side dish and one sauce.

There are different sauces where you can choose and pick for every main courses. Other than that, you can choose 2 out of 6 side dishes to eat with it.

I ordered B.B.Q Ribs. I chose Baked Potato and Green Beans as my side and the Barbeque sauce for dipping. The vegetable just felt soggy to taste. The meat was really hard to cut, other than that, is yummy!

My friend ordered well done Beef Sirloin with french fries and steamed vegetables for sides. The sauce is the roquefort cheese.

 Both of us ordered Hippo Smoothies which was blended with exotic nectar, lime nectar, strawberry, pineapple and banana. Refreshing and healthy!

 Roasted Pineapples with Vanilla Ice-Cream. An unique hot and cold dessert combination! Its yummy!

For me, I decided to have a try of multiple deserts. The Combo Dessert come with crepe topped with chocolate sauce, floating island, scoop of strawberry sherbet, creme brulee and fruit salad.

Total cost of our meal was S$97 (roundup) for 2 pax inclusive of GST and service charge. By using the voucher from Groupon, I only spend S$65 for 2 person.

Overall, the environment was awesome, the price of the food was reasonable and affordable! :)
