It was a Wednesday night but the then 6-months old Pince & Pints was still full house. My dinner only started at about 8.30pm. I was famished by then, especially after walking a round of Duxton to waste some time.

The name of this Bed of Roses was intriguing but the presentation of the cocktail wasn't fascinating.

Can't go wrong with Lychee Lemonade.

The Lobster Roll is so yums! The chunky lobster meat was succulent and flavourful but something worth mentioning too was the soft yet crispy buttered bun. Omg can I have a lobster roll right now?

The Grilled Whole Lobster was also succulent and photogenic but I still prefer the lobster roll. For the same price and lobster portion, I'd prefer it to be served with the very delicious bun.

Having said that, I'd gladly go back for any lobster on the menu if not for the expensive price and long waiting time.

The lobster meal wasn't very filling so we had round 2 at Kko Kko Na Ra. How could we resist having Korean fried chicken while at Tanjong Pagar? There are so many famous Korean restaurants there!

I thought I would like Watermelon Soju but it turns out otherwise, especially when the portion is too much for sharing between two.

Combo Chicken Set (Original/Sweet/Garlic). The fried chicken was so-so only though I particularly liked the garlic flavour.

Mandarin Oriental, Singapore's MELT ~ The World Café really lives up to its name of being one of the best buffets in town. This is not my first visit but I still always have tons of things that I wanna eat there.

As usual, there are no food shots, so let's just move on to desserts.

The pastry team makes good and pretty desserts each time I'm there. The most memorable one was the bite-sized lemon meringue tarts. It was a work lunch but I just can't stop filling up my plate with more tarts.

Here are your old-school candies and snacks... and my favourite waffle counter!

Belgian waffle with mango sorbet, lemon sorbet, and lots of maple syrup. I make sure I eat this many times each time.

I love the macarons too. By the way, they look shiny because there are glitters on them!

A true dessert heaven.


With The Ladies~

That very grand chandelier at the lift lobby.

I wonder when will be the next time I go back there.

Italian fine dining at Mandarin Oriental, Singapore's Dolce Vita was a mind-blower. So glad that the yummylicious 6-course dinner and 2 glasses of red wine didn't cost a bomb.

Dining by the pool is definitely one of the highlight at Dolce Vita. But me being me, I chose to seat indoors by the windows so that we could enjoy the night view without being aircon-less.

Freshly baked bread with an assortment of dips. I don't usually eat bread but I wanted to try it with the dips because everyone was saying how good the dips are. Indeed.

Amuse Bouche

Blue Swimmer Crab with Avocado Mousse and Spicy Mango Salsa. This is an antipasti but I felt like I was already eating a main course. Nomnomnom.


Wild Mushroom Velouté. This mushroom soup is so awesome. It's served in a little cup and you sip it the way you do with coffee. It also looks like coffee because of the foam on top.

Maine Lobster Linguine with Fresh Tomato Sauce, Garlic and Basil. The pasta is handmade and the lobster is so fresh. I've heard mixed reviews of this and I don't understand why. It's so good.

Atlantic Cod Fish with Plancha Polenta, Fennel and Caper-Anchovy Cream Sauce. Cod fish don't only taste good in Chinese cuisine okay.

Traditional Mascarpone Cheese Tiramisu with Marsala, Savoiardi Biscuit and Espresso Coffee. I love the presentation and how the hot espresso was poured a la minute when served. The espresso was smelling so good that I wished I could drink it on its own.

And we each had a glass of Teusner Joshua to accompany us through the dinner.
