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!

Jack's Place @ Jem

Happy Chap Goh Meh & Happy Valentine's Day!

It was Valentine's Day, so my hubby & I decided to go somewhere nearby to celebrate. So we landed in Jack's Place @ Jem. The restaurant is located at level 4 of Jem.

Jack's Place is known for their steaks. One of the oldest brand of family steak house in Singapore.

As it's a Valentine's Day and Friday, most of the restaurant are full with long queue. We queued for like 1 hour before we seated. The place was very crowded with limited seat place.

Both of us ordered soup as a starter.

My hubby ordered Lobster Bisque. Generous portion of lobster meat given. Delicious!

For me, I had Tomatoes Gazpacho Caliente Soup which comes along from the Valentine's Set.

For the main course, my hubby ordered Steak & Chicken Combo. My hubby is a steak lover and therefore always ordered beef whenever we dined at western restaurant.

The steak & chicken combo arrived on a sizzling hotplate along side with cauliflower, baked potato and sambal sauce.

Frankly speaking, the steak & chicken was very thin and furthermore with sambal sauce?! Weird!

For me, I ordered the Valentine's Set Pan-roasted Game Hen "Osso Buco" with Grilled Sea Prawn, Onion Smashed Potatoes & Spring Garden Green Peas & Carrots. The Valentine's Set comes along with Garlic Bread, Mango, Peach & Tomatoes Gazpacho Caliente Soup, Complimentary Sweet Treat for the Ladies and Coffee/Tea.

Look's how huge portion is the chicken! Well, I definitely couldn't finish all of it so my hubby finished the chicken breast and I took the drumstick and chicken wing. hehe.. :)

Overall, I find the foods here are average price and quality. Service are rather slow too. The environment is just normal. Would not revisit this place because of their food quality and the cramped space inside.

The meals cost S$90++ for two people. I rather pay more and go elsewhere to eat!

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.

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.

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

Our drinks

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!!~
