High Society @ The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands

Another dinner date with my hubby. :)

Happens to see an online deal from Groupon, an European Fusion Cuisine at High Society Cafe and Restaurant so we decided to give this restaurant a try. Friday night around 7.30 we were shown to our table in the elegant surroundings of this establishment.

High Society, a cafe / modern restaurant that is part of That CD Shop which is conveniently located at The Shoppes, Marina Bay Sands.

Classy decor with dim lights,  nice ambience, crystal chandeliers, luxe and cosy furnishings.

Assorted display of cakes

The Menu

We had Onion Soup as starter, follow by the Classic Fish & Chips and Cajun Spring Chicken as main.

Starter:

Soup of the day: Onion Soup

The Mains:

Classic Fish & Chips

Norwegian Haddock in Tempura Batter with French Fries & Tartar Sauce & Hand Made Coleslaw

Cajun Spring Chicken

Pan-Seared Half-Baby Chicken served with Bordeaux Sauce, Asparagus, Carrot Puree, rosemary tomatoes & baby potatoes

The Desserts:

Greentea Cupcake & 3 different flavor of Macaroons (Chocolate, Coconut & Coffee)

Overall, the food is average and the service is alright too. This would be a better place just to have tea and chit-chat, not for serious food.

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.

PS Cafe @ Palais Renaissance

Heard so much good review about PS Cafe so I decided to visit it together with my hubby at the Palais Renaissance outlet.

I've made a dinner reservation at 9.30pm on a Friday night. As the place is quite crowded, I would recommend a reservation (as I always will do to any restaurants I am heading). We arrived early and were shown to our table only a few minutes of waiting.

The restaurant is located at a quiet corner on 2nd floor of Palais shopping centre. As you step into the restaurant, you'll definitely surprised with their fantastic ambience, chic and classic interior! The high ceiling. The ceramic tiled flooring. The mouth-watering displayed cakes. The alfresco area. The tropical greenery at the windows.It make me feel like I'm far away from the hustle and bustle city life.

Love the restaurant interior

Every table was placed with tea-light candles creating a romantic atmosphere.

Okay, on to the food...

For the main course, My hubby ordered the Moroccan Lamb. He said the lamb was tender and delicious.

 Moroccan Lamb (S$36)
Ginger and Dukkah Crusted Lamb Skewers with Roasted Vegetable Cous Cous, Oven Roasted Tomatoes, Baby Rocket and Harissa Yoghurt.

For me, I ordered Miso Cod. The fish was fresh and light. Love the salad as well!

Miso Cod (S$36)
Broiled Aware Miso Pacific Cod Fillet with Ginger, Lemon & Sesame Dressed Soba Vegetable Salad

With still bit of room, my hubby suggested ordered truffle fries (the famous side dishes) which turned out to be a mountain load of fries! The portions is relatively huge (recommended for sharing), we couldn't finish them all.

Truffle Shoestring Fries (S$15)
With Grated Parmesan and Parsley, Tossed in Truffle Oil

Finally, the dessert!

Chocolate Doorstop Cake (S$15.90)
Come with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream

The total bill came to about S$128.76. Overall, this restaurant has very good ambience. Food was relatively good too! Worth the price even thou it's sightly overpriced. It's a nice place to go for a quiet and intimate dinner, and also a lazy brunch or lunch.
