Tuxedo Patisserie

The next time you are in town and need a venue for meeting your clients, or simply want a nice and quiet spot for coffee and pastries, Tuxedo Cafe & Patisserie at Carlton Hotel Singapore is the place to head to.

Tuxedo Cafe offers an enticing Express Set Lunch Special from 11am – 3pm daily. It includes a bowl of soup or salad, sandwich, and a cup of gourmet coffee or tea. At S$15.80, it is a deal to score for those who are looking for a good lunch without busting your budget.

Being a patisserie, the focus at Tuxedo is its array of freshly baked bread and pastries. Under the lead of Chief Baker Andrew Loong, the award-winning Carlton pastry team is constantly coming up with new creations to wow the crowd with its repertoire.

Other than the classic items like French Croissants, Pain au Chocolat, German Rye Sour Bread, Tuxedo has a whole range of bread such as Baguette, Walnut Bread and Semi-dried Tomatoes & Basil Baguette. The desserts, too, are to die for. Raspberry Chocolate Cake, Strawberry Cheesecake, Hazelnut Crunchy Eclair, Red Velvet Cupcake – just to name a few. The highlight for us is definitely their signature Lobster Pie, and the rich and luxurious Tuxedo Cake made with Valrhona chocolate.

Aoyama Flower Market Tea House Tokyo

Aoyama Flower Market Tea House

Awestruck. That was how we felt when we stepped into Aoyama Flower Market Tea House in Tokyo. It combines a florist with a tea house, and the result is the dream café for every girl.

Like an indoor greenhouse but with an impeccable sophistication, the tea house is lavishly decorated with fresh flowers of the season. Scattered, lined, tied on vines, sprouting from under… we were lost in the splendiferous floral world with all kinds of richly-coloured species blooming in their unique forms, and filling the space with a wondrous mix of scents so delicate. Decorative mini lights span across the ceiling and drape down the pillars, creating an illumination so dreamy that it enraptures your soul; soft instrumentals looping, quite like a choir of nightingale serenading every dreamer in the room. Nothing quite as beautiful, nothing quite as enchanting.

Blue Butcher Bar & Restaurant

My girlfriend and I are big steak lovers and we always make it a point to check out good steak restaurants in every city that we visit. During a recent trip to Hong Kong, we had a very very good steak at Blue Butcher Bar & Restaurant, a meathouse that sources its meat from farms that do not compromise on quality, and hang the meat in-house using age-old recipes together with modern techniques.

Reebonz Gift Guide for Her

Fret not if you missed Reebonz’s The Big Fat X’mas Sale last week. The folks at Reebonz Singapore, the renown and largest online luxury shopping site, have lined up a series of Christmas specials this festive season!

We are delighted to be Reebonz’s official ambassador for Christmas 2013, and together, we have curated a special series of gift guide – with different categories and even one for a lower budget – for those who need some inspirations on what to get for your loved ones this Christmas.

There are different promotions everyday, and you are in for lots of surprises from Reebonz. For today, the 12-Days-of-Christmas promotion is an amazing ADDITIONAL 12% OFF for anything you purchase online at Reebonz, with no minimum purchased needed. How awesome is that?

Reebonz Gifts for Him

When it comes to picking the perfect present for your man, it cannot get any easier because there are only so many things that a man needs – wallet, watch, belt, name card holder, Apple iPad leather case… Our top picks for men are the very classy Saint Laurent Bi-Fold Flap Wallet and versatile Paul Smith Reversible Belt.

Getting a gift for women is a little trickier. There are more factors to consider, like her favourite brands and colours. In Celine Medium Luggage we trust, and the one in a gorgeous royal blue is one Christmas present so lavish that will have your lady smile in her sleep. And for something sexy, pick the Saint Laurent Cassandre Clutch in a fiery crimson.

And for the discerning ones who have a more conscious budget, the joy of giving spreads on with our picks for ‘Gifts under S$500’. At Reebonz, you can definitely find something for everyone. We really like how understated yet chic the Saint Laurent Classic Marquage iPad Sleeve is, and is suitable for both genders. Else, the McQ by Alexander McQueen Razor Blade Scarf is the easily the best investment for endless fashion possibilities.

To see our entire list of recommended gifts, check out the Reebonz x ladyironchef gift guide.

Pezzo Pizza Singapore

Pezzo Pizza

Pezzo Pizza brings freshly made pizzas served by the slice just like the pizza joints in the Big Apple – New York City. It is affordable and convenient making it the perfect pick-me-up lunch, snack or dinner to hit the spot and satisfy your pizza cravings.

What I love about Pezzo is its consistently strong sense of identity. The Pezzo brand is all about delivering a carnival in every bite no matter the occasion. From its website www.pezzo.com.sg, to the whimsical logo and packaging of the pizza boxes as well as the store decor – Pezzo is all about being bright, cheerful, fun and on top of it all tasty.

Pezzo Christmas Pizza

While crowd favourites are the usual suspects like the classic Pepperoni Party, Hola Hawaiian and local flavour Sambal Ikan Bilis, the ones that had us particularly salivating were the Hot Chick and Chicken Delight. The former is a flavourful combination of spicy chicken strips, cheddar & mozzarella, green & red peppers, and topped with a special punchy chili sauce. The Chicken Delight, on the other hand, leans towards the healthier-side with toppings of chicken breast strips, onions, mushrooms and turkey bacon.

Also make sure to grab a slice of the Ho Ho Hola Hawaiian which has been specially created for Christmas this year! With a wide selection of over 20 flavours, it is always a new and exciting experience at Pezzo. A slice of pizza is affordably-priced at S$4.50, while a whole pizza of 6 slices is S$24.90.

Pezzo has 13 easily accessible pizza-by-the-slice kiosks island-wide and 6 of them are delivery stores perfect for those who want to throw a pizza party. The kiosks are all located in key locations, including Ion Orchard, JEM, The Arcade, The Star Vista, Bedok Mall, as well as a dine-in outlet at Woodlands Exchange. Click here for the list of Pezzo’s kiosk locations.

Call +65 6665 6565 for pizza delivery or visit www.pezzo.com.sg for more details.
