[Closed] Beer Market Singapore – Good food and Good Beer

Beer Market

Football and ice cold beer come hand in hand. We all need night outs with our pals, and we really would not miss watching the latest football matches. Times like these, we turn to our regular haunts for reliable familiarity and comfort, where we can get our favourite beers and cheers to great goals.

And what if we tell you – on top of all these, there is a haven where you can fill your tummies with awesome food with even more awesome beers, too? Lately, Beer Market has sprung up to being one of our favourite chill-out spots, and with this post, we will make you forget what a typical pub means, and have you rethink and redefine what enjoyment really is with quality F&B.

Beer Market Clarke Quay

Strategically located at the bustling Clarke Quay, Beer Market is not your ordinary pub. Or bar. Or whatever Singaporeans deem as a place only for drinks. Beer Market is an institution, a place that is committed to offering a myriad of beers – both classic favourites and limited rare brands – and a menu so comprehensive, and even more appealing than the beer options! Some of the dishes like chicken rice pizza, squid ink fried rice, and salted egg yolk seafood pizza are enticing enough to make us go back again and again.

Pete’s Place Sunday Italian Prosecco Brunch

Pete's Place

What’s better than Italian food? An Italian Sunday brunch with free flow of wine and prosecco, of course! One of the oldest Italian restaurants in Singapore, Pete’s Place at Grand Hyatt Singapore presents its Sunday Italian Prosecco Brunch (S$58++ with selected juices and coffee/tea, S$82++ for free flow of house red/white wine, prosecco, Tiger draft beer and Campari cocktails).

As soon as we stepped in to the charming restaurant located at the basement of Grand Hyatt Singapore, we knew it was going to be a good meal. Checkered table cloth, brick walls, wine cellars, and an impressive buffet spread welcomed us. It did not take us long to fall in love with this hidden gem in town that radiates an undeniable rustic enchantment.

Pete's Place Sunday Brunch

Your feast begins at the fresh seafood section – dig in to crabs, mussels, prawns, scallops and freshly shucked oysters. Equally enticing was the cold cuts station, where we indulged in salamis, ham and endless servings of freshly shaved prosciutto with rock melon. The mains include chickan cacciatore, deep fried calamari, braised beef cheeks, and the very addictive squid ink gnocchi. Pasta lovers who cannot do without your first course will also be treated to freshly prepared pasta-of-the-day.

Wait, we haven’t mentioned that there are also freshly baked pizzas from the wood-fired oven, have we? But save some tummy space for the carving station where roasted beef sirloin and lamb leg await us. For something less heavy, there is also an oven baked whole barramundi.

We were also blown away by the dessert offerings at Pete’s Place. Chocolate pistachio cake, black forest cake, cheese cake, almond biscotti, mango mousse; Viva la dolce vita! But the tiramisu completely stole the show. It was one of the better tiramisu that we have had in Singapore, and we would come back to Pete’s Place just for this. The rocky road was also exceptional. The Sunday brunch also comes with a selection of quality homemade Italian gelato – quite the perfect ending to a marvellous Sunday.

Seasonal Tastes The Westin Singapore

Seasonal Tastes

After taking a hiatus from Singapore’s hotel scene for a few years, The Westin has returned and this time round, sparkles amid the fanfare. Perched on a high ground and occupying levels 32 to 46 of Asia Square Tower Two at Marina View, The Westin Singapore is highly grand – literally. Besides the Westin Heavenly Bed, a stunning infinity pool, the Westin Workout fitness studio, and a luxe hotel decor, what we are really excited about is Seasonal Tastes – The Westin Singapore’s signature restaurant with interactive kitchens and featuring an impressive buffet line up that have already rocketed to our list of top favourites.

We love Seasonal Tastes’ buffet (S$45++/pax for buffet lunch, S$65++/pax for buffet dinner) for many reasons. Besides selling you the view of the Marina and how each and every chef is dedicated to whipping up their bests and delivering only the finest selections daily, we are truly excited to share about how this new addition is fast becoming a destination for the people of Singapore when they want to recharge their souls with good food.

Seasonal Tastes Buffet

For one, it is a top quality five-star buffet sans the exorbitant price tag, and everything that we sampled was cooked to high standards. Being located on level 32 of The Westin Singapore, Seasonal Tastes boasts a splendidly unobstructed view of Marina Bay and the south coast of Singapore. And because the location is very convenient, executives in the vicinity can now claim this spot as your favourite hangout; count on Seasonal Tastes whenever you crave a timeout from work. And if you are planning a family gathering on the weekends, parking is easy and affordable (S$3/entry).

Here are some of the highlights of Seasonal Tastes’ buffet.

Travelling with my Canon PowerShot G16

Boracay

One of the more frequent questions asked by my readers is what cameras I use, and I also have many asking me for recommendations on which ones to get. Well, there is no definite answer, because it really depends on individual’s needs, preferences and budget. But if I were to recommend one camera for a day-to-day all-purpose functionality, it would be the Canon PowerShot G16.

Canon Powershot G16

When Canon asked if I would like to play with the new Canon PowerShot G16, the idea of owning the new Canon camera is impossible to resist, and I said yes in a heartbeat.

The Canon G16 has quickly become my favourite camera for travelling. Since getting the Canon G16, I have been bringing it with me everywhere I go as it is light yet sturdy, super responsive and takes very good photos, especially in low light conditions.

Like the old saying goes: “A photo tells a thousand words”, so in this post, I will show you some of the photos that I have taken with my Canon G16, and also share with you 5 reasons why I love the camera.

Happy Hour at Gravity Bar, Carlton Hotel Singapore

Gravity Bar Cocktails

What constitutes to a good bar? Great drinks, tasty snacks, a hideout where you can relax after a long day at work, and ideally, it should play nice music that make you feel at home. Gravity Bar at Carlton Hotel Singapore, one of our favourite secret hideouts in town, is one such place.

With many tempting promotions, chill at Gravity Bar and celebrate Happy Hour with drinks from opening to 8 pm daily. Selected house wines are available at attractive prices, including draft beer from $8++ per half pint, house pours, martinis and cocktails from $10++ (U.P. S$14 – S$16). If not, go for a sparkling wine cocktail party – it is only S$15++ per glass (U.P. S$22++). Just typing these make me crave for a booze and I am thankful Gravity Bar is so centrally located and convenient.

And what marries good drink best? Better snacks, of course! Munch on mini portobello mushrooms and the classic local chicken wings marinated with prawn paste. Cheese lovers will fall head over heels in love with the crispy nachos that is served with three types of cheeses. Another favourite is the cheese fries that is generously sprinkled with shredded seaweed.

Skin Inc Pure Revival Peel

Skin Inc Pure Revival Peel

“Eat well, live well, be well.”

This has always been Melody’s and my mantra in life, and while we always treat ourselves to the better things in life, we have always believed in a holistic approach towards a complete well-being.

Eating is our hobby and so is traveling. Every good meal and every trip uplifts the spirits and makes us happy. And while we are what we eat, we have also formed a firm belief in treating our skin to the best food, too. Because when we feel good, we look good. And feeling good inside out is the very holistic approach we practise.

Lately, we have been introduced to a miracle product, and both Melody and I have inculcated it in our respective daily skincare regimes – Skin Inc’s Pure Revival Peel.
