Chillax At PARK : Cafe By Day, Bistro By Night

Many of you might have already spotted this standalone restaurant situated just outside of the Holland Village MRT exit.

There are absolutely too many new eateries at every corner in Singapore nowadays, and you will always be spoilt for choice on which one to choose.

Personally, I have not been to PARK so I suggested the idea to my company and they agreed!

Cute design for the menu though.

I've always liked simple menus like this.

Totally feels like I am dining in a cargo container.

Hahaha! Spot the translation for "Superwhite Lies".

Eh, my personal favourite out of everything. (If you know what I mean)

Iced Cappucino ($5.50) 

Apple / Lime Juice ($3.50 each)

The highlight, Truffle Fries ($11)!

Sorry for being such a truffle addict, I can't even look at other alternatives anymore.

And what's more, a friend of mine recommended this so I thought I ought to try it out!

Verdict : The truffle intensity level wasn't to my liking as I still prefer the one I had at Habitat Cafe (still standing strong as personal no.1 for truffle fries) & Symmetry (for the amt paid, you get a whole bucket, how nice!)!

Okay, the ranking hasn't much changed since last year eh?

I will try more cafes/restaurants to share with you guys! (:

(unless you hate truffle fries, well then, scroll on!)

Penne Alfredo with Turkey Roulade ($14.50)

The only thing I felt is that one will overpay if pastas are chosen as mains.

Truffled (WHAT)(YES)(TRUFFLE) Mac & Cheese ($12.80).

Fellow makan kaki here loves truffled food items too!

Look at how the cheese rocks the dish.

I find it abit jelat.

Overall, a really chill place for a short meal, a beer, anything!

And if you feel like dining in a cargo container.

Just kidding!

Nassim Hill Bakery & Bistro Bar: Ideal Cozy Place for All

Hee, hi peeps, new post updated!

I had an advanced Christmas celebration with my favourite clique at Nassim Hill Bakery & Bistro Bar situated near Tanglin Mall.

It is accessible from the bus stop opposite of Orchard station and you can board almost any bus that comes along. (prolly do some research on which one to board.)

Anyway, destination can be reached upon three to four bus stops and a 5-minutes walk.

Or else, just drive over!

Yes, there are parking lots nearby. 

And I am really glad that le clique chose this for a simple dinner together.

Christmas of course must have the festive mood, am I right?

The big dark wood tables are just ideal to cater for our group of 7 that night.

And of course, must have Christmas tree!

Take a look at the Festive Menu which will be available from now till the 31st December!

Or else, you can opt for the normal Dinner Menu : http://www.nassimhill.com.sg/pdf/NH_dinner_02dec.pdf

After we placed our orders, we could not hold down our excitement and we proceeded to have our Christmas Exchange!

Pampered with love, one from each of them!

Excluding le Mister who already gave me on separate occasions. ^^

Before our food arrived, our presents filled the whole table.

Hahahaha!

Happy Hour starts from as early as 8am till 8pm!

So le fellow friends decided to order some alcoholic beverages since it was still happy hour.

Tiger Radler ($8).

Erdinger 30cl ($8) / 50cl ($10).

Ice Mocha ($8), and yes you are right, this is le mister's order.

All coffee are served with a double shot which makes the mocha really thick.

Decent cuppa I would say.

Chilli Crab ($16), in which you can choose a bigger serving for the price of $25.

For those who can't get enough of this or if you intend to share, I would recommend you guys to opt for the upgrade.

The chilli really kicks on your tastebuds and you could chomp down on the generous portion of crab meat served within this one dish of goodness.

So thumbs up!

Steak and Eggs ($23), that consists of a 150gm US Angus prime sirloin steak topped with two sunny-side ups, and their homemade entrecote sauce (which was outrageously tasty).

Le mister chose the meat to be medium well done and commented that it was decent.

 But from my point of view, I might suggest them to replace the salad with chips/fries to make the dish much more worthwhile.

Salmon with Sweet Potato & Beet Chips ($24).

Salmon was perfectly done and I enjoyed every bit of it.

The chips was something new and doesn't have much of the sweet potato and beet taste.

However, some of the chips looked burnt though.

This dish went up another level with the combi of the previous homemade entrecote sauce from my mister's dish!

Nassim Hill Double Decker Burger ($21).

The picture didn't quite show the two juicy beef patties dashed with the home made special sauce and the side dish of fries in a cup.

What I heard from the ones who ordered this was that it was not bad but as for the size of the burger, it can be considered to be quite small for le two grown man.

Alrighties! Dessertime!

Brownie Parfait ($11)!

I thought the brownie was a tad too hard although the vanilla ice cream with salted caramel sauce, caramelized corn flakes and salted peanuts that topped the brownie were really shiok. 

Next up, waffles!

Banana Chocolate Waffles ($18).

Dayummmm, when I saw this waffle tower being served to the table next to us, I nudged the ones beside and they went like, "Omg, we should order that!"
And here we have it, on our own table, the legendary waffle tower.

Visual : 100% delicious.

And nothing can go wrong with bananas and chocolate.

Don't you think so?

Heh, last group photo with our satisfied tummayes!

Always my favourite yearly affair to meet up with this group of peeps.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, folks!

Stay tuned!

Blu Jaz Review : Must try the Carbonara!

Introducing one of my favourite chill-out place in Haji Lane, Blu Jaz!

It's a cafe in the afternoon and turns into a nightlife hotspot by the night.

There are a total of three levels of seatings to choose from.

Most of the time, I would just get onto level 2 because there used to be cushion seats.

This time I went, it wasn't there anymore.

And here is the Carbonara I am talking about!

Carbonara ($10.90++)

Frankly, I am not a big fan of cream based pasta, but this...

After one bite, I am 100% sure you would crave for more.

I guess the amount paid was rather reasonable as compared to the other restaurants.

The portion is generous as well.

How would the night be complete without any alcohol?

Moonwalk ($13++)

I think the lychee resembles the moon? HAHA

If you are a Mojito lover, you would like this too!

Jagerbomb ($13++)

Interesting bar shot of Jagermeister and Red Bull.

I like!

And you could just sit back and enjoy this jazzy atmosphere Blu Jaz offers.
