Queued 20 mins for lunch...
At Amoy food centre. This is supposedly from lau pa sat. Quite good but not worth the queue.

Osvaldo Ristorante Italiano
Whenever I get too bored, this is what happens...
Decided to try Osvaldo at Maxwell Chambers a try while I was waiting for my friend to go out for some drinks. Hence, decided to have a nice dinner while waiting for my friend.
Heard that the chef Osvaldo Forlino is a Michelin starred chef.
I love the bread basket. Crispy and delicious, especially with olive oil..
Veal Shank Ravioli
And of course, the signature dessert - Poached Pear soaked with red wine. You can also buy bottles of poached pear back too.
With a nice cup of coffee

I love the ambience as this is a family-run restaurant.
They have another specialty, which I have yet to try.
Involves rabbit meat though....

$3 Sweet potato
Bought this at Isetan Shikoku fair. Coated with 8 yr old honey... Bliss~
Today's fair was a bit disappointing.Did not managed to find sufficient food for our breakfast.
Most of the food items are meant to be consumed at home, such as yuzu drink, yuzu vinegar, black sesame spread, green tea, udon, miso paste etc.
I did managed to try a piece of the $60 plus melon though =)

Isetan Fair - Hokkaido
Hokkaido Fair is here.
This time round, it was first held at Isetan Orchard.
After which, the fair was held at Isetan Tampines.
During our visits to Isetan Orchard, we had:
Takoyaki (Scallops and Octopus versiosn) - We still prefer the Octopus ones as we could barely taste the scallops
Grilled Seafood - Salmon belly and scallops - Salmon belly too salty, Scallops nothing great. The usual seasoned ones are better.
Grilled Squid - Tasteless and Gross
Crab and Sea Urchi Bento - Nice
Bought the cheese tarts - Last year this was completely sold out. Not bad - There are still a few boxes left in Tampines yesterday.
This is how it looked like
Curry Bun from Pullman Bakery - Been having it at least once every week these days...
And of course, bought several boxes of Shiroi Koibito. They were all snapped up in Tampines.
Only thing that I did not managed to get was the wafer biscuits. Will get it the next time I am there...

Ah Yat - Promotional Set Menu
We just learnt that Allson Hotel has changed its name to Hotel Grand Pacific.
I have to remember that.
We tried their special promotional menu.
Slight variant from our usual set menu.
Chicken Salad
Buddha jumps over the wall - the highlight
Breaded crab claw
Goose web with Mexico abalone wedge
Vegetables
Ice cream with pulau hitam
Bird nest egg tarts

My Ramblings...
As usual, the buddha jumps over the wall and abalone makes the set menu value for money.
The mexican abalone wedge and bird nest egg tart makes everything worth it.
I still miss the egg tarts sold in Malaysia's Ah Yat. You can really taste the bird nest in it.

Sentosa Escapade at The Sentosa Resort & Spa
We were supposed to meet up with a couple of friends to go to Sentosa.
And while we were waiting for the "Gathering" time, we went for a nice cuppa of coffee at Max Brenner at Vivo City.
Dear ordered the Hug Mug
While I ordered the Kanga Roo
Nothing impressive though.
Coffee is too thick to my liking.
Still prefer to be able to choose the coffee beans.
While we were at Sentosa, we went around looking for a nice place to laze around.
Shangri-La was closed for renovation. Hence, unable to try their afternoon tea which I have always wanted.
Resorts World Sentosa was packed and the food was very expensive. A typical set meal can easily cost 20 or 30 bucks.
And so, we went to The Terrace at The Sentosa Resort & Spa (formerly known as Beaufort)
Ordered The Sentosa Burger and laze our afternoon away.
It consists of back bacon and portobello mushrooms, tomato marmalade and cheddar cheese.
It comes with potato wedges too.

The combination of bacon, portobello mushrooms and egg was heavenly and worth every single cent of it.
Cant wait to try their seafood buffet the next time I am here.
