<p>I love a good restaurant. But if there&#8217;s one thing I like even more, it&#8217;s having good company for dinner together. Dining in a fine-dining restaurant is very nice, but it really depends on the people around you to make it even better. Sometimes we get lucky, it&#8217;s an extra bonus when we are dining with nice people, and it happens to be a very romantic restaurant.</p>
<p><span id="more-4471"></span>Many people always ask me to recommend a <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/tag/romantic-restaurant-singapore/">romantic restaurant in Singapore</a>, I&#8217;d like to tell them: so long you are with your other half, everywhere is romantic. But I can&#8217;t possibly do that can I? You want to know a romantic place for your first date, a romantic restaurant for birthday parties, a romantic restaurant for that special occasion, and like today, a romantic restaurant for Valentine&#8217;s day; it&#8217;s all about the ambiance.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/boathouse/DSC_7375.jpg" alt="Best New Restaurant" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m very pleased to &#8216;stumble upon&#8217; <strong>Boathouse</strong>, a newly opened Modern European restaurant at Fullerton Water Boat House. Chic decorations that exudes a laid-back and homely feel, gorgeous view that overlooks the Marina Bay area, elegant and simple furniture, oh I love this place.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/boathouse/DSC_7454.jpg" alt="restaurant in one fullerton" /></p>
<p><strong>Fish Chowder Sea Bass Carpaccio</strong> ($15)</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/boathouse/DSC_7458.jpg" alt="food blog in singapore" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I had Wagyu beef on a couple of occasions before, but this was the first time that I actually had a Wagyu Beef Ribs. The first bite? It tasted just like pork ribs. The second bite? It&#8217;s definitely a lot better than the normal pork ribs. It&#8217;s a superior version, no it&#8217;s  wrong to even compared it with pork ribs. My dear, you are looking at the <strong>Wagyu Beef Ribs with Aged Red Wine Jus</strong><strong> </strong>($33).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The meat was so tender that it falls off the bone and melts in your mouth splendidly. Placed together in a plate, the wagyu beef ribs absorbed the aged red wine jus, and in turn the latter captured the essence from the long braising process. How good was it? <a href="http://www.camemberu.com/2010/02/boathouse-and-prelude-marvellous-find.html">Catherine</a> wiped the plate clean with bread.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/boathouse/DSC_7472.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://thelittleteochew.blogspot.com/2010/02/boathouse.html">Ju</a> had the <strong>Atlantic Pink Snapper</strong> ($25) instead of the Wagyu beef ribs. She mentioned that the fish was fabulously fresh, firm, sweet, and didn&#8217;t want to share it with us. An excuse to return? I&#8217;d think so!</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/boathouse/DSC_7494.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I seems to be having a lot of pasta recently. Boy I&#8217;m glad all of them were good quality ones, and the <strong>Tagliatelle Wild Mushroom</strong> in Truffle Sauce (S$19) was no exception. Every slurp of the tagliatelle was intense, and so flavorful. Some might find it to be too salty and overpowering, but I thought that it was pretty well done.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/boathouse/DSC_7512.jpg" alt="romantic restaurant in singapore" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Caramel Apple tartlets</strong> ($15) were small. Fine, they were tiny. Initially the restaurant told us it was tasting portions, but after confirmation from a few friends who went there for dinner, they were still serve the mini apple tartlets for the full price.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fifteen bucks for three mini tartlets and ice cream? I wouldn&#8217;t pay for this, and neither should you. Please <strong>do not</strong> order the apple tartlets until the restaurant made changes to it.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/boathouse/DSC_7523.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The mind is a funny thing. It always play tricks on you, and subconsciously conjured images of things that you wouldn&#8217;t want other people to see. Halfway through the meal, my mind decided to play a game with me. Like as though there was a remote control, it pressed the &#8216;play&#8217; button, and memories of <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2008/08/05/sage-the-restaurant-singapore/">a very good semifreddo</a> that I&#8217;ve before started to flash.</p>
<p>Reason #1 why the pastry chef here does not have a sweet tooth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the sourish fruit compote to compliment the <strong>White Chocolate Semifreddo</strong> ($15), it gave the impression of an <em>anti-sweet </em>establishment. Desserts, are after all, meant to be sweet. I tried the semifreddo on it&#8217;s own, and it was so good. In order to see the reasoning behind the inclusion of the fruit compote, I reluctantly had a taste of the semifreddo <em>with</em> the tart berries &#8211; well it wasn&#8217;t so bad, but I&#8217;d obviously prefer dessert to be sweet.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/boathouse/DSC_7529.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In my opinion, a good Panna cotta must have a firm yet wobbly-like texture. This one here was fairly competent, but under the limelight of the excellent semifreddo and creme brulee, the <strong>Panna Cotta</strong> did not make a statement.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/boathouse/DSC_7550.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Reason #2 why the pastry chef here does not have a sweet tooth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The presence of the licorice reduction, <em>with</em> the Creme Brulee. I was told that the <em>evil</em> licorice was planning on taking over the dessert world, in a test-tube-like container.  Okay I exaggerated. You know, the guys (&amp; some girls) who raise their eyebrow at the slightest mention of desserts? The licorice reduction would be perfect for them since it literally reduced the sweetness level, making me wondered why anyone would do that.</p>
<p>Oh well, that aside, I enjoyed the creme brulee very much.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Torched to a magnificent golden-brown, the underlying custard was naturally sweet. The contrasting layer of the cranky caramelized sugar with the beautiful custard: I&#8217;m in love with the creme brulee.</p>
<p>My middle name is dessert: apple tart with ice cream, creme brulee, panna cotta, and white chocolate semifreddo.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is the second part of a series that I’m doing on the waterfront restaurants in One Fullerton. I’ll like to thank Fullerton Heritage, Sophia and Kannan of Boathouse for arranging and hosting this dinner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">BoatHouse is definitely one of my favorite restaurant now, and I will not be surprised if they are one of the best new restaurants in 2010. There&#8217;s a separate rooftop bar on the third floor called Prelude. Stunning, stunning place with an awesome view of the Esplanade and Marina Bay.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Prices range from $20s for pasta to $30s for a main course. For the superb location and wonderful ambiance, Boathouse is offering a very value set lunch; the 2 course set lunch is $22++, while I&#8217;d go for their 3 course set lunch at $29++. Most of the items on their set lunches are from the main ala carte menu which make it extremely tempting.</p>
<p>See you at the Boathouse Fullerton.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Barracks/DSC_7628.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There&#8217;s nothing sweeter in life to witness your friend tying the knot; be it a simple dinner of having your close friends to  celebrate the special moment, or a grand affair of getting the whole world (including people that you do not know) to be there &#8211; this must be it, happily ever after.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-4114"></span>I often receive emails from readers and friends, asking me for suggestion of places, to hold their wedding reception and birthday parties. After going to Barracks at House for my friend&#8217;s big day, I&#8217;d think that the Greenhouse room in Barracks, is a very good place to throw a party.</p>
<p>&#8216;<em>With that, I declared you husband and wife</em>.&#8217;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Such a simple statement, yet it meant so much. Tears of joy, surely. This will be the moment when you look back in ten, twenty, thirty years time down the road, and smile.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Barracks/DSC_7737.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dinner was a simple affair. On this special day, everything and anything, will taste good. We had a choice of the immensely popular <strong>Ahi Taki Salad</strong> and a seafood platter.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Barracks/DSC_7730.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The presence of seafood compelled me to go for the latter, <strong>Deep Sea Threesome</strong>. A plateful of spicy calamari, appetizing prawns, intriguing black mussels, with the sweetest pineapple and mango.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Barracks/DSC_7755.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I know this sounds wrong, but I have been feasting way too much nowadays. With a heavy dinner the previous night, and another tasting the next day, against my better judgment, I decided on the lobster Linguine over the <strong>House Ribeye Steak</strong>.</p>
<p>And when the first steak arrived on the table, I immediately knew that I was going to regret the decision.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Barracks/DSC_7760.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well, my eyes went wide open when I saw the two words, &#8216;lobster &amp; linguine&#8217;. Unfortunately, I did not read the description of the pasta carefully. The menu goes like this: <strong>Lobster Linguine</strong>, Crab meat &amp; Prawn Bolognese, homemade black pepper sauce.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Oh</em>, there&#8217;s black pepper. Homemade black pepper sauce to be exact. I&#8217;m not a fan of anything-black-pepper. The lobster was delicious of course, but I couldn&#8217;t finish my linguine. The others were full of praises for the pasta. Anyway, desserts next.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/Barracks/DSC_7769.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Warm Chocolate Toffee Cake</strong>. Swoon. Did I just read warm, chocolate, toffee, and cake? It sounds good, it looks even better. Despite trying a few places for toffee cake, I still couldn&#8217;t find a good one that can satisfied me. After having Barrack&#8217;s interpretation of this popular dessert, I believe, the missing puzzle for sticky toffee cake &#8211; is warm chocolate. I&#8217;m a very happy boy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you need a place for your birthday party, wedding solemnization, the Greenhouse room at Barracks will be a very good option. Alternatively, there are also other rooms with special theme in Barracks that are available for other events.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>To my awesome Joy &amp; her Bunny, stay happy forever.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It took me a year to finally visit Raw Kitchen Bar. Actually I dropped by when they just opened a year ago, but I did not have my dinner there back then. And despite staying just 10 minutes away from the place, it took me until now to pay them a visit. Yes, I&#8217;m a year late, but it&#8217;s better to be late than never isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1618"></span>And boy oh boy, December is almost here. I like the year-end, for one it&#8217;s the month of celebrations with Christmas and New year, and I get to <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2008/12/31/all-of-ladyironchef-2008/">sum up my adventure for the whole year</a>. Food-wise, this has been a <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/05/10/au-petit-salut-the-place-of-eternal-memories/">fulfilling</a> year, and I thought my winner for the <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/02/10/7atenine-the-best-meal-this-year/">best new restaurant</a> is already decided, until I visit Raw.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/raw%20kitchen%20bar/DSC_1545.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Stepping inside, there&#8217;s just something different about this place. There&#8217;s the flimsy light bulb with different pieces of whimsical furniture to begin with. Then you have the quaint and charming backyard that looks like an awesome place to throw a tea party. The chef/owner Javier comes out and greet every table, all in all, you have the feeling of dining in the chef&#8217;s house.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/raw%20kitchen%20bar/DSC_1596.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The food is pretty good too. While we looked through the menu debating over spaghetti mentaiko, and commenting that the bun noodle sounds cute; we finally decided on the <strong>Capellini</strong> cream of ebiko and sauteed prawns ($19). Every slurp of the angel hair pasta seems to make its existence for your taste of the food. The portion might be a tad small, but it should be adequate for one person&#8217;s serving. We also like how the succulent prawns and flavorful ebiko enhanced the taste of the <em>al dente</em> pasta.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/raw%20kitchen%20bar/DSC_1583.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Balsamic duck</strong> ($23) was a bit of let-down though, and not that it wasn&#8217;t good. The duck drumstick was firm and quite unlike that of a duck confit, but it had an uncanny similarity to the Chinese braised duck in terms of the smell and taste. We would probably enjoy it more if we did not have braised duck before; fusion dishes don&#8217;t work in this case, but maybe it&#8217;s just us. And for someone like me who usually don&#8217;t like mashed potato, the ones that came together with the <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/08/22/la-petite-cuisine-unpretentious-french-fare/">petite drumstick</a> here, was gorgeous in all sorts of ways.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/raw%20kitchen%20bar/DSC_1599.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The choice of the pizza was through an elimination method since there was only three to choose from. Spring vegetables pizza didn&#8217;t sound exactly appealing to us, and my friend did not want the mozzarella basil rosemary pizza, so we were left with the <strong>Prawns &amp; chili pizza</strong> ($19). It was an irony that Raw Kitchen Bar was housed in the former premises of a firestation, wewe were about to call in the fire brigade for help &#8211; this pizza&#8217;s one kick-ass, fiery, spicy pizza.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This might not sounds convincing since I do not have high tolerance for chili to begin with; but even my friend who claimed that she grew up eating chili, agreed that this pizza was literally hot. And for the price, we weren&#8217;t expecting it to be so huge, which sort of compensate for the petite portions in the other two dishes.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/raw%20kitchen%20bar/DSC_1490.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now I have a tough choice for the <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/02/10/7atenine-the-best-meal-this-year/">best</a> <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/09/03/oriole-cafe-i-know-you-are-the-one/">new</a> <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/05/10/au-petit-salut-the-place-of-eternal-memories/">restaurant</a> (among the places that I went to), and I know there&#8217;s probably a few more like Spruce &amp; Hacienda (I have not been there yet) that will probably make the cut too. See you there!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/KPO/DSC_0133.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/08/08/the-pink-sage-head-over-heels-in-love/">I&#8217;m head over heels like love</a> with brunch. It&#8217;s more like the feeling of being able to slowly enjoy a long extended breakfast plus lunch, while watching time slips by. The idea of an all-day brunch place appeals to me &#8211; it&#8217;s damn sexy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1308"></span>Of late, I&#8217;m always too busy over the weekends that there wasn&#8217;t a chance to have my favorite brunch, and so when I found out that KPO Cafe serves all day brunch during my <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/10/23/kpo-cafe-bar-dinner-in-orchard/">first visit</a>, I casually suggested to my friend, &#8220;<em>let&#8217;s have brunch for dinner.</em>&#8221; Okay, maybe casually is an understatement; it was a desperate attempt to plot and make her believe that instead of having steak and salad, it&#8217;s the norm to have eggs and pancakes for dinner.</p>
<p>Now, I think I&#8217;m really a crazy person (<a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/08/17/sweet-nibbles-part-7-ice-cream-for-dinner/">having ice cream for dinner</a>) when it comes to food; I mean who in the right mind will want to have brunch during dinner ? Not many. I have pitched the idea to some of my friends, but most of them think that I&#8217;m joking. Surprisingly, it&#8217;s either my scheme works or my friend is just as crazy as me &#8211; we had brunch for dinner.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/KPO/DSC_0124.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How can <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/03/04/graze-brunch-graze/">any brunch be without Eggs Benedict</a>? It is like what <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2008/12/18/dim-joy-appreciate-the-art-of-dim-sum/">har hau is to dim sum</a>, or how <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/07/01/ellenborough-market-cafe-crab-buffet/">chili crabs will be without the deep-fried mantou</a>. After my first encounter with eggs benedict, I&#8217;m hooked. The thick creamy hollandaise sauce that is drizzled on top of the beautifully poached egg &#8211; it&#8217;s a truly magnificent sight to behold.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">KPO&#8217;s <strong>Egg Benedict</strong> ($13) uses bacon streaks instead of ham or salmon, and together with the poached eggs, they sat prettily on a slice of thick white toast. For $13, I was expecting a lot more, and sadly it did not deliver. Oh, there&#8217;s only one poached eggs? I turned to my friend with a <em>we-have-to-share-kind-of-look</em>. On second thoughts, it was actually not that bad, the streaky bacon was a hit with poached eggs, I would however prefer to have <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/03/11/riders-cafe-brunch-with-the-horsies/">muffin</a> or baguette, instead of white <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/01/01/choupinette-brunch-desserts-and-outing/">toast</a>. Anyway, the hollandaise sauce was pretty awesome too &#8211; honey, it&#8217;s all about the butter.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/KPO/DSC_0113.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Do you want to pancake with me?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And yes, if there&#8217;s one thing which I absolutely adored (besides eggs benedict) &#8211; it will be <strong>Pancakes</strong> ($6). Like I said before, eating pancakes required some knowledge, to <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/08/08/the-pink-sage-head-over-heels-in-love/">cut the long story short</a>; just dunked the fluffy pancakes into the bowl of syrup, let it soaked and immerse in the essence of the wonderful liquid, and I guarantee: you will be happy boys and girls.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I know, the pancakes here look rather sad, they are certainly <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/04/28/epicurious-ii-i-love-breakfast/">not like</a> what I <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/03/11/riders-cafe-brunch-with-the-horsies/">had before</a>, but what to do? When you are a hungry man craving for brunch in the <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/01/27/blue-basil-the-spice-in-the-middle-of-town/">middle of town</a>, there&#8217;s not much options. Well to be fair, it&#8217;s not expensive to have two pancakes for six dollars, it&#8217;s more like the consistency of the pancake; one is over-toast, and the other one pales in comparison.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/KPO/DSC_0086.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, this time round, the first question that they asked was not credit card or cash. Instead, they went one step further, they brought me the bill (when I did not ask for it) immediately after the eggs benedict arrived on my table. And so if you are one who will be disturbed by such &#8220;tiny acts&#8221;, I suggest you head to <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/09/03/oriole-cafe-i-know-you-are-the-one/">somewhere else</a> instead. As for me? I like the place enough to go back the following weekend after my first visit. All right, maybe I&#8217;m intoxicated by the happiness of finally having eggs benedict after <a href="../2009/08/08/the-pink-sage-head-over-heels-in-love/">such a long time</a> that I&#8217;m not making sense now. If you like brunch, go <a href="../2009/03/11/riders-cafe-brunch-with-the-horsies/">here</a>, <a href="../2009/04/28/epicurious-ii-i-love-breakfast/">here</a> or <a href="../2009/03/22/prive-bakery-cafe-ii-in-my-dreams/">here</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I always dread to have dinner in Orchard, well the place is great for shopping, people-watching, movies, but food? It is always an issue whenever my friends want to meet there and if you ask me, there&#8217;s hardly any place  that I like in Orchard.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was a coincidence that both <a href="http://www.lingzie.com/">Lingzie</a> and <a href="http://lifeforbeginners.com/">Kenny</a> were in town, so there was a minor crisis in deciding the place for dinner. Initially I wanted to bring them to my <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/09/03/oriole-cafe-i-know-you-are-the-one/">favourite place in Orchard</a>, but we ended up at KPO Cafe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1164"></span>Most people will have thought that KPO stands for Killiney Post office since the cafe is located on the premises of Killiney post office. But the name actually comes about because it&#8217;s at the intersection of Killney, Penang, and Orchard road.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We started dinner with the <strong>Pizza Yorkshire</strong> ($25). The 10 inch thin crust pizza was thoroughly enjoyable; sweet thin slices Yorkshire pork and well-baked crust with mozzarella cheese matched perfectly with the natural crust.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/KPO/DSC_0574.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even though the Grilled juicy mini beef patties were tiny, I love the way they are done &#8211; topped with melted Emmental cheese and served in home-made baguette. The <strong>Patty Melt</strong> ($12) is one of those things that you wish it would come in bigger portions. And oh yes, the home-made chips were great too! But for the kind of price, it&#8217;s more like a snack to go along with drinks rather than a main course for dinner.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/1%20October/KPO/DSC_0596.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>KPO Pork Ribs</strong> ($23) was the other signature dish of the cafe. A full slab of ribs marinated with the tantalizing sauce, we have to agree that the marination was very done-well. But having tried better pork ribs elsewhere, KPO&#8217;s rendition lacked the ultimate melt-in-the-mouth sensation. Still, it was pretty good.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have no doubt that KPO, situated right in the <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/01/27/blue-basil-the-spice-in-the-middle-of-town/">middle of town</a> and yet seemingly away from the hustle of the city, will be a success. The location is already a hit, with the chic environment, it is definitely the place-to-be-seen-at. While it&#8217;s a great watering-hole, with the food being pretty decent, but they really need to improve on the service.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I got a shock when the first question they asked, was not what I&#8217;ll like to order, but whether I&#8217;m paying by credit card or cash. No matter how nice the ambience was, or how excellent the food tasted &#8211; that was a total turnoff. But oh well, at least there&#8217;s no service charge &amp; GST. Anyway, with the good location plus the chill-out atmosphere, I went back again the following Saturday.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I know you are the one. Somehow a part of me, know that I will like Oriole even before I come. Make sense? Because love is blind.</p>

<img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/oriole/DSC_2502.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Oriole is one those place that is chic and exudes the laid-back vibe. It is smack right in the <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/01/27/blue-basil-the-spice-in-the-middle-of-town/">middle of town</a>, yet most people isn&#8217;t aware of it&#8217;s existence. Small, cozy, good food, reasonable prices, totally my-kind-of-place. Oriole!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">You like <strong>fish &amp; chips</strong>? You will like the one here, it&#8217;s one of the better fish &amp; chips that I&#8217;ve recently; the batter wasn&#8217;t soggy and oily even though I took a long time taking photographs, it was still crispy and good. The portions were generous too, with three big pieces of fish at 15 bucks, it&#8217;s great for sharing! Most of the wedges were slightly burnt, I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s done intentionally that way, but it sure was tasty to me!</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/oriole/DSC_2512.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We took a long time to decide the second main, there was a few choices, spaghetti/risotto of the day, banger &amp; mash, or the oriole burger. But in the end we went for the <strong>Beef cheek tagliatelle</strong> ($15). The staff loosely compared the tagliatelle to our Chinese kuay teow, but I will beg to differ.The pasta isn&#8217;t as thick, so if there must be a comparison, I say it&#8217;s closer to <em>Mee-pok</em>. I had a good impression of <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/05/10/au-petit-salut-the-place-of-eternal-memories/">beef cheeks</a>, and this was delicious! Chewy but not to the extend of being overly difficult to bite, every bit of the beef is immersed in the red wine.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>And for once we didn&#8217;t have any desserts because we already had other sweets from elsewhere. But I&#8217;m keen to try chocolate fudge cake on my next visit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2661.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This was my first time taking the Singapore Flyer. Flash back to two weeks back, I got a surprise message from Jiafa (<a href="http://www.yes933.sg/portal/site/yes933">YES 93.3</a>), inviting me to join Peifen and him on their upcoming food segment where they will invite the listeners to dine at different restaurants. Sounds pretty awesome yeah?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-605"></span>There will be an estimated of eight sessions, where every week we will go to a different restaurant, and there will be a mini-contest of sorts where listeners will sms in to get pick to go for the dinner. Sky dining on top of the iconic Singapore flyer started the ball rolling.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2718.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Sky Dining is billed as the ultimate dining experience by the Singapore Flyer for the full butler serving in the sky. A couple package ($199++) includes 2 express boarding flights, 2 rotations (1 hour), complimentary VIP lounge access, in-flight host, 3 course menu, with the dessert, coffee/tea to be served in the VIP lounge.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2660.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Everybody was so excited when the capsule approached us as we were waiting at the platform. &#8220;<em>WOW!</em>&#8220;, followed by the flashes of cameras, and we were on board of the capsule. It was definitely smaller on the inside since there was a long table for the ten of us. There was the 2 DJs Peifen &amp; Jiafa, 1 from the station, Julie representing Singapore flyer, 4 listeners and me.</p>
<p>The whole setup is simple but packed with all the necessaries. I like it that way, it was small, cozy and just nice for a romantic dinner.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2673.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Jiafa and Peifen doing the recording</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2671.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>We started off with some bruschetta and a <em>surreal drink</em>, which was fresh summer berries in ginger ale.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2688.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <em>breathtaking</em> <em>appetiser</em> of <strong>Duck liver pate</strong> arrived on a bed of fresh young mesclun tossed in sweet vinaigrette dressing. A cheaper alternative to its famous cousin <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/08/22/la-petite-cuisine-unpretentious-french-fare/">Foie Gras</a>, the duck liver pate is no less taste wise. It was delicious, everybody finished it in a wink of the eye before we reached the peak of the flyer.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2706.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There was two choices for the <em>captivating entree</em>, I had the <strong>Baked cod fillet in pistachio herb crust</strong>. I always enjoyed eating cod for the smooth taste; the exterior of the cod was baked nicely with a crispy surface while beaneath it the fish retained its freshness. And the side of roasted baby potatoes were worth a mention too!</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2699.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I managed to get a bite of the <strong>Braised beef cheek</strong> too. Fusion cuisine has always been a do-or-die thing, it&#8217;s either people love it, or hate it, there&#8217;s no in between. And I must say I&#8217;m on the love side for the curry beef cheek. Somehow, it works. The beef was braised until it was so-tender, and the aromatic spices infused a flavour into the meat that you would never imagine. It&#8217;s good.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2712.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And two rotations, one hour passed away just like that. Everyone was happily chatting away, eating the food while enjoying the scenary. And Julie pointed out some very minor but interesting details that can only be seen on the flyer. We headed to the VIP lounge for desserts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bread and butter pudding came, and the spotlight was thrust onto the giant macaron shell/meringue. There was nothing to rave about the pudding since I&#8217;ve better ones before, but it was definitely nice to end on a sweet note.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/Singapore%20Flyer/DSC_2719.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Everything taste good when the company is right, with magnificent scenaries. Wish you were there. It was a great experience to dine on the Singapore flyer, seriously after this, I cannot imagine myself going up on the normal half hour ride on the flyer since you probably be doing nothing but cuddle together and enjoy the scenary. For more information on the sky dining, you can check out Singapore Flyer website <a href="http://www.singaporeflyer.com/en/event-group-packages/worlds-first-full-butler-sky-dining.html">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So if you want to have a romantic dinner up there without sharing with four other couples, you can book the whole capsule for just the two of you too, for a princely price of $1500 nett per capsule. My appreciation to <em>Jiafa &amp; Peifen</em> from YES 93.3 for inviting me to join them on the show, and Julie for hosting the dinner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can listen to our conversation during the dinner tomorrow, the programme will be aired on <strong>YES 93.3 this Wednesday 2nd September 6pm</strong>. Do stay tune!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Read about Peifen&#8217;s post <a href="http://crazycoolcute.blogspot.com/">here</a>, and Jiafa&#8217;s post <a href="http://xiejiafa.blogspot.com/2009/09/blog-post.html">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/senso/DSC_2475.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Senso ristorante</strong> is a fine dining <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2010/05/12/best-singapore-italian-restaurant-list/">Italian restaurant in Singapore</a> that is located at Club Street.</p>
<p>If I do it my way, I will start every meal with desserts. A typical dinner usually goes something like this: complimentary bread and cheesesticks to keep you entertain, but that&#8217;s no dessert. Then there&#8217;s soup, appetisers, main course, <em>blah blah blah</em> until we reach desserts! So why do we eat desserts at the end when we are clearly anticipating for it from the start!</p>
<p><span id="more-584"></span> And when I go to an Italian restaurant, the first thing that comes to my mind will always, be the tiramisu. It is, the heart and soul, the perfect ambassador for <em>Italian cuisine</em>. Fine, I exaggerated. It is at least one of the first thing that you will think of when we are talking about Italian desserts. The <strong>Tiramisu Senso</strong> ($14) here was way better than the one I had at their <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/01/07/senso-bistro-half-price-promotion/">bistro</a> before.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/senso/DSC_2471.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>And the second thing (for me) when it comes to Italian cuisine will be pasta of course! However, I was tempted to try Senso&#8217;s risotto, so we had the <strong>Risotto</strong> ($28) &#8211; carnaroli risotto served with saffron and sea scallops. It was good, but <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/05/30/wild-rocket-ii-the-last-brunch/">company</a> always make the food taste <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/02/10/7atenine-the-best-meal-this-year/">better</a>, and since my dining companion wasn&#8217;t a big fan of risotto, I should have gone for their pastas instead.</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/senso/DSC_2466.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>My companion also raved about the excellent <em>Agnello</em> (rack of lamb) that she had at Senso before, but we decided to try something new this time round. Food is always an adventure no? The choice of the second main was contested by the <em>Manzo</em> (beef tenderloin), <em>Milanese</em> (rack of veal) and the <em>Ossobuco</em> (braised veal shank). I was initially skeptical of having the braised veal shank since my previous encounter was a complete diaster.</p>
<p>But I was sweet-talked into it, and I&#8217;m glad that we ordered this; the <strong>Ossobuco</strong> ($34) was done just right, the veal shank absorbed the goodness of the sauce, I know tender is a word over-used when it comes to describing food, but yes, it was tender!</p>
<p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/senso/DSC_2479.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The <strong>Bruciata</strong> ($14) made its appearance in a very creative way and we were completely fascinated by the mini frying pan. Oven-baked egg custard, or more commonly known as Creme Brulee, I finished everything on my own!</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t manage to take any shot of the place, we dined in the charming <em>al fresco</em> area, but it was the private room that caught my eyes! That place is perfect for a group of twenty, I will definitely love to do a party there some day.</p>

<p>In my dreams, there is this beautiful place, with blue skies and clear sea. I dreamt of having my favourite brunch here with the one I like. We eat to our hearts content, and relax there while the hourglass freeze, just for us.</p>
<p><span id="more-491"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/prive/DSC_0479.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In my dreams, we have a cup of cappuccino. The aroma of the bean and the wonderful scenery of the place somehow makes the ordinary coffee taste better. And oh yes, there&#8217;s a cute cookie to go along with too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/prive/DSC_0481.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In my dreams, I can never forget the taste of my beloved <strong>Eggs Royale</strong> ($14). The ever-favourite poached eggs, I just wish we can be together everyday. There is nothing more satisfying in life to have <em>you</em> by my side.  O&#8217; my dear, just the thought of <em>you</em> make me sleep better.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/prive/DSC_0493.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In my dreams, you are always there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/prive/DSC_0475.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In my dreams, I always envisage places where we will never run out of desserts. I have a sweet tooth you see. I dreamt of meeting the royal <em>Sir-Deli&#8217;s</em>, but it was a pleasant surprise with Privé <strong>Carrot cake</strong> ($6.80)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/prive/DSC_0494.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In my dreams, everything and anything can happen. There are bad dreams, and of course sweet ones like you. I&#8217;m glad I can still occasionally dream of you, that is enough. Enter my dreams, and give me a kiss.</p>
<p>***</p>
<p>Privé bakery café is a wonderful place to visit if you haven been there after i posted my <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2009/01/05/prive-bakery-cafe-ending-with-a-sweet-note/">previous</a> entry. Well, I couldn&#8217;t afford the restaurant main course yet, that&#8217;s why you will probably see more of my post on their brunch and desserts, which are affordable and good. <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/category/see-you-there/">See you there!</a></p>

<p>A <em>year</em>, twelve months, fifty two weeks,</p>
<p>&amp; three hundred and sixty five days.</p>
<p>A <em>day</em>, twenty four hours, one thousand &amp; forty minutes,</p>
<p>&amp; eighty six thousand &amp; four hundred seconds.</p>
<p>Breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea, dinner &amp; supper.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s how much we eat, and for the last meal of the year,</p>
<p><em>Something sweet</em>.</p>
<p><span id="more-454"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/prive/DSC_0321.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A typical <strong>New York Cheesecake</strong> ($6.80), with a twist at the bottom. Instead of the usual digestive biscuit crumb base, this one had oatmeal mixed with digestive biscuit, resulting in a softer base. While it scored brownie points for creativity, I still preferred the original version. The cheesecake was the very rich and cheesy type, nothing like the light &amp; airy type.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ladyironchef/prive/DSC_0318.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Something not-so-sweet. <strong>Strawberry yoghurt mousse</strong> ($7). Topped with pretty strawberries. I ain&#8217;t a big fan of yoghurt, but this hit the right spot with the perfect balance between the berries and mousse. The best part of a shooter dessert was digging into it. And sharing of course.</p>

<p>Now, my favourite. I left the <strong>Hazelnut Praline Royale</strong> ($6.80) for the last, since i knew me being me, i&#8217;ll definitely not like the other two desserts if I&#8217;ve started with this. <em>Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, and i only have you in my eyes</em>. The praline base was definitely one of the thickest I&#8217;ve before. The richness of the chocolatey cake did not overwhelm in the first bite, but the cake was surely too much for one to finish alone. In short, think <em>ferrero rocher</em> cake.</p>
