“You can't just eat good food. You've got to talk about it too. And you've got to talk about it to somebody who understands that kind of food.” ~ Kurt Vonnegu

Fou de Fafa
Decided to try this new place out as we saw the huge pizza served the last time we passed by...
Ordered the Pascal Pizza - ham, bacon, sausage etc.

My Ramblings...
Was quite disappointed. I find the pizza overpriced. It cost about 28 dollars and the "pizza" gives me the feeling of having salad on top of a thin biscuit like crust.

Yuan Ji Zhen Zhong Carrot Cake
Went to Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple at Waterloo street one day and bought these longevity buns to eat.
Then, went to Albert Court to buy my favourite carrot cake!
This cost $2 only!

This is one of my favourite carrot cake stores.
What's so great about this carrot cake?
1. The portion served during takeaways was huge
2. The carrot cake taste just as good when you take it a few hours later.

Ootoya
Came across this restaurant when I passed by Long Xia Zhou Shi Jia the week before.
Decided to try Ootaya as it very crowded the other time.
I ordered the Oyster set (which contains 693kcal)
Hiroshima oysters served in a steamer filled with rice
Vegetables in miso
Side dishes
My friend ordered the Scallop set menu (693kcal)
Scallops from Mutsu Bay in a steamer filled with rice
Tofu and chicken

The food served is a bit too healthy for my liking.
There descriptive phrases to describe my meal - Not salty, soupy and loads of vegetables (which is the least of preference).
But, I am quite impressed with the place though. They compiled a list for their food which may impact people with certain allergies...

Ritz Carlton - Greenhouse
As you can see, we are a huge fan of Greenhouse at Ritz Carlton!
This was taken on a weekend before the festive Christmas buffet menu was launched.
Yes, it is a bit late to post these as we were too busy eating all the various festive items during that period.
My plate of cold dishes
Dear's plate of cold dishes (you can see he is really focused!)
Hot dishes (Pork Knuckle, fish, prawns etc)
Chilli Crab
Roast Beef, Salmon Sashimi and Bun (for the Chilli Crab)
Desserts
Interesting coconut candy with ice-cream
Cheese with crackers
Coffee

Melt The World Cafe
We were bored of the usual buffet places and decided to give Melt The World Cafe at Mandarin Oriental a try.
Cold Dishes - Oysters, Lobsters, Prawns and Scallops
Second round of servings
Sashimi and Cold Cuts
BBQ items(i.e. sausages, mushrooms etc)
Second round of BBQ Crayfish
(Clockwise from top)Turkey, Ham and some Tandoori items (pomfret fish, chicken etc)
Papadum with sauces
A sampler of the hot dishes
Laksa
Mashed Potato - this was a popular dish and it clears very fast
Waffle with chocolate ice cream
Chocolated coated fruits from the fondue
Cakes and Desserts
Coffee

If you are looking for a decent buffet place besides Ritz, you may want to consider Melt.
In terms of quality, it is pretty good except for the BBQ items.
The chef took several times to the items cooked without being burnt.

Osvaldo Ristorante Italiano
Decided to bring Dear to Osvaldo Ristorante Italiano.
This restaurant is located at Maxwell Chambers.
Bread basket
Parma Ham with Burrata Cheese and Cherry Tomatoes (P.S - This is one person's portion only)
Rabbit Meat
Lamb Shank stewed with mash potatoes

We loved the parma ham and burrata cheese but we were quite disappointed with the main dishes.
For me, this was the first time trying rabbit meat.
I was a bit nervous I must say.
Was disappointed with it as the the meat was tough and it does not give the wow feeling that I was hoping for after hearing so many raves about rabbit meat.
As for the lamb shank, we had similar or better quality at a lower price.
Overall, I may come back again as I liked the ambience but will not try the rabbit and lamb shank anymore!

Royal Coppenhagen
After shopping, we went to Royal Coppenhagen for tea.
As you can see from my earlier post, I have this soft spot for places that use nice dinnerware, especially those that you will not buy just to use it at home. Fancy a $100 plate to be used at home? (You know what I mean?)
Ordered a Darjeeling Tea
With scones
Rating
My Ramblings...
I am not impressed anymore!
They do not allow two people to share a pot of tea. And they kept insisting that the tea is meant for one person. I still remembered how hard it was to finish one pot of tea by myself. Then I realised that the amount of water has been halved.
Will prefer to go to Shangri-La anytime.
