OCF Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away, and we have sussed out two recent favourites for you to bring your date to.

At the second level of The Arts House, overlooking the Singapore River is modern French Restaurant Olivia Cassivelaun Fancourt (OCF). We like OCF because it is intimate, chic and sophisticated, and serves a superb and well-thought through meal using the freshest produce. On 14 & 15 Feb, OCF is offering a 4-course dinner (S$168++/person) with a glass of Pierre Paillard Grand Cru NV champagne. There will also be live music brought to you by talented artistes from Timbre Group playing your favourite love ballads throughout the dinner.

Start with a Maine lobster salad because you can never go wrong with the sweet crustacean. French Seabass with artichokes, oscietra caviar and vin jaune, wine made in the Jura region in France, succeeds the appetizer. The main course, Beef Tenderloin drizzled with bordelaise sauce and topped with foie gras, is the dream for all meat-lovers. Your sweet ending is the Valrhona Chocolate Royale with coffee crémeux and caramel ice cream.

Be the first 50 to secure your reservation at OCF by making a 20% deposit, and stand a chance to win a ‘Kate Spade Tudor City Lacey’ wallet (worth S$350), sponsored by Reebonz.com. Please refer to  OCF’s website for terms and conditions.

Table Manners Valentine's Day

For a more affordable option, head to Table Manners at Changi City Point. It is a casual, unpretentious and a fun space where you can go with your partner to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Or with a group of girlfriends for a great catch up.

This Valentine’s Day, Chef Raphael Chua has prepared a 3-course dinner (S$52/person) which will be available from 12 to 15 Feb. For appetizer, you will be served the sweet Lobster Bisque with huge chunks of lobster flesh. There are two choices for main course: a 12-hour Braised Beef Short Ribs, or the beautiful oven-baked Atlantic Cod Fish that is encrusted with an ebiko sauce. Both main courses come with the truffle mash potatoes and eggplant caponata. Complete your dinner with a delectable serving of Hazelnut Opera, served with vanilla bean ice cream.

The first 52 pairs of couples who order the Valentine’s Day set will receive over S$30 worth of beauty products, sponsored by L’Oreal.

OSIM uInfinity Massage Chair

OSIM uInfinity

While we are only a few hours away from spa destinations like Bangkok and Bali, it is not possible to travel there on a regular basis. To enjoy a relaxing session in the comfort of your home, the new OSIM uInfinity Massage Chair (www.OSIM.com/uInfinity) is really the ideal solution for everyone.

The OSIM uInfinity Massage Chair is a revolutionary chair that offers an endless choice of massage pleasures. Not only is it extremely stylish and intelligently designed, it redefines comfort and brings massage chairs to a whole new high – the OSIM uInfinity can be fully reclined, and it feels akin to sitting on a Business Class seat. The massage itself? Certainly feels like having a real masseur exercising her skills on you.

Since getting the massage chair, I have been using it everyday to relieve the nasty knots in my back and shoulder. Here are 5 reasons why I love the OSIM uInfinity massage chair.

A romantic dinner, live band belting out love ballads, friendly staff taking polaroid photos for precious keepsake – this was our Valentine’s Day dinner at O’Coffee Club.

Heart Shape Macaron

Many people know O’Coffee Club as a popular cafe chain where they can hang out with friends over drinks and food. But what many people do not know is that O’Coffee Club is also a place to go for special occasions. We celebrated Valentine’s Day at O’Coffee Club’s first outlet in Holland Village, and the night marks another chapter in our journey.

Omakase Burger The Grandstand Singapore

Omakase Burger

Omakase Burger at The Grandstand (formerly Turf City) has been winning lots of fans – some people even proclaimed it as the best burger in Singapore – so I had to make a trip there to see what the fuss is about.

Omakase cheeseburger ($13.90) is made up of a delicious hand-ground beef patty with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato and sauce in a nicely toasted bun. The perfect burger? Almost. Omakase’s burger was indeed very good, but it was tiny and not exactly as satisfying. That said, I have had plenty of mediocre burgers with much higher price tags, so it is still probably one of the better burgers around.

O'Coffee Club Valentine's Day

With twenty branches around the island, O’Coffee Club is one of the most recognised cafe chains in Singapore. For Valentine’s Day this year, O’Coffee Club has specially created a 5-course Epicurean dinner at their first outlet in Holland Village. There will be live band playing while you enjoy a scrumptious dinner.

As this is a one-time special with an exclusive menu only available at Holland Village’s outlet for this Valentine’s Day, seats are limited. I will be celebrating Valentine’s Day with my partner there, and if you are thinking of where to go for a romantic dinner, why not join us on that special night?

O'Coffee Club Promotion

Besides the 5-course Epicurean Dinner on Valentine’s Day, O’Coffee Club has also lined up many treats for us in the month of February.

Macarons lovers will be thrilled to know that the new creations include ‘Muddy Mud Pie Macaroon’, which is inspired by their famous ‘Muddy Mud Pie’ dessert and ‘CNY Pineapple Macaroon’. If you are looking for a Chinese New Year gift, O’Coffee Club’s ‘Haute Collection Pineapple Tarts’ ($6.80++ per box of 8) is the perfect thing to buy besides the usual mandarin oranges when you go visiting in the CNY. Also, their February’s high tea set ($8.50/pax) is one of the most affordable afternoon tea sets in town.

That is the start of my tantalizing adventure with O’Coffee Club. Remember to sign up for the event, and we shall have a ball of a time celebrating Valentine’s Day at O’Coffee Club together.

Out of the Pan Raffles City Singapore

Out of the Pan

Out of the Pan at the basement of Raffles City is one of those places that I’ve always walked past, but never thought of trying. I finally went there one day, and the food was surprisingly good. The Banana Spilt Waffles ($14), in particular, was outstanding and one of the best I’ve had on our little island. The Chocolate Mania Crepe ($14) and Peking Duck Crepe ($15.50) were also very good.

The good news is DBS credit/debit card holders get to enjoy 1-for-1 promotion for waffles and crepes. The offer is available all day from Sunday to Thursday (10am – 10pm).

Osia Restaurant Resorts World Sentosa

Osia Restaurant

The dining landscape in Singapore has changed remarkably in the last few years and it is exciting to be here at this time.

On the contrary, despite what some people might think, the arrival of big-name-chefs have benefited the food & beverage industry as they provide invaluable experience, and at the same time, they create healthy competition that “forces” other restaurants to up their game.

Over at Osia Restaurant in Resorts World Sentosa, we have Chef Scott Webster from Australia who is a consultant to the restaurant. He plays a big role in influencing the menu along with Chef de Cuisine Douglas Tay.

The restaurant has recently started a ‘Cooking with Friends’ series, where Chef Scott Webster would invite his chef friends to cook in Singapore. For the first instalment back in July, Chef Chris Taylor from Perth created a delectable menu with inspirations from Western Australia, including yellow tail kingfish, sea urchin roe, and truffle.

Open Door Policy Yong Siak Street

French Toast

Words by Sarah Lim, photos by ladyironchef.

Open Door Policy at the uber-hip Yong Siak Street has certainly managed to draw in the brunch-loving crowd with their creative weekend offerings. Groups of patrons, mostly expatriate families, started streaming in once doors flung open at 11am and half an hour later the restaurant was fully packed.

Open Door Policy

Being under the Spa Esprit group (which also manages Forty Hands Cafe), we’d expected no less of the décor, and ODP certainly delivers as far as ambience is concerned. Despite the collision of rustic wooden shelves, metallic elements lining the ceiling and stools looking as if they came out from a 1960s classroom, everything blended together to create the perfect Manhattan-chic vibe for a weekend brunch.

And that was precisely what we were here for on a Sunday morning. It didn’t matter that the brunch menu had fewer than 10 items; we immediately homed in on the pancakes, French toast and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.
