Lovely Arteastiq Brunch

Found this place last year when I bought some all-day breakfast coupons from Groupon. This time they offer the same deal at Groupon and check out the place with my hubby!

Arteastiq is an ideal place to sit down, chit chat and chill out for an afternoon tea or some light meal.

The deco and furniture here are really fancy. It has a lovely and feminine atmosphere with loads of plush coaches to chill out on for the afternoon with friends / partners. It is a great place to come with friends / partners to catch up after or before shopping.

Really love the creativity and effort they put in food presentation.

TENDER DEW

PRIME DAWN

I personally love the ambience as it's a tranquil and peaceful place for one to unwind and relax while indulging in the awesome food.

Happy Good Friday!

High Society @ The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands

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

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.

On to the mains!

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.

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.

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.

Invited my friend to Robertson Quay to try Shabu Shabu on Thursday night which I bought the deal from Groupon, an authentic Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurant located at Robertson Quay.

I got the deal from Groupon, S$48 for 2 person (worth S$114) and only end up paying S$8.10 for the service charge and GST. This my first time been to Robertson Quay and I was amazed to see so many restaurants in the area. Will go back again to try out other restaurant!

Charly T's @ NOMU Building

 Went to Charly T's last night with my friend for dinner with Groupon vouchers S$43 for 2 pax (worth S$87) which I bought from online recently.

Charly T's is located just beside The Cathay cinema at Handy Road.

It's decor is simple yet inviting those who likes to spend good times with friends chatting over some international cuisines.

As I had made a reservation (which was required as I was using the vouchers), we got our seats immediately upon arrival, in comfy corner of the restaurant.

Their ordering process is rather unique compared to other restaurants, where customers will first place their orders at the counter (fast-food style). Orders are served to customer tables.

And now, onto our food!

For my friend, he ordered the signature dish of Charly T's Famous Rotisserie Half Chicken (Original Recipe) with dips / sauces. According to him, the chicken is juicy, basically you can just eat it on it's own without any additional sauces.

When you order each chicken set, it will also come with two sides (2 out of 4 sides to choose from). For my friend, he choose German Potato Salad and Butter Garlic Rice.

 For me, I ordered this Shao Rou (烧肉) look-a-like is called Kalua Pork. The dish is complimented with a bowl of fresh mixed vegetables and 2 accompanying sauce (bbq and chilli). The pork was well cooked and taste well after putting it into your mouth.. it just melts like an ice-cube would in your mouth! Oh.. Mama-mia~

For beverages, Lemonade for him and Homemade Ice Tea for me.

Lastly, the end of the journey was sweetened with desserts!

 Apple Strudel with Vanilla Ice Cream

Molten Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream

Ice cream was creamy and rich, yummy!

Overall, the place was really quiet on a Thursday night, not much patrons and no queue either. Ambiance was pleasant, with dim warm lights and some music played in the background.
