Dine-In at Astons!

Heyy peoples..
Its time for another foodie update!

This time round, we went to have dinner at Astons @ Sembawang Shopping Centre to celebrate my birthday!!! =) 

But before we could go in & enjoy all the food...

We had to go thru the long long long queue first! 

    Long queue


     Chao & Me, the ultimate foodieplatformers ~


        DRINKS! 


       V for VINCENT
       Of course the birthday boy should drink something different
       from the others! =X 



     Mushroom soup with garlic bread



    Due to the long queue plus many many customers...
    We gotta wait for the main courses to be served!




        ZZZZZZZ...


     After a hungryyyy wait...

     Its finally time to eat! FOOD HAS ARRIVED!
     Hurrayssss! =D
     Everyone's hungry!
     LET'S EAT!
         YUMMY FRIES! 


      Crispy Fried Chickyyy that I ordered! 



       Onion Rings! 



         More onion rings 






    After a scrumptious meal, its time for a cake cutting session! 




        AWESOME! 


          Group shot!


Overall verdict

The service and price were good and affordable.
I must say the waiting time is very long so its advised to be there early!

It's a place suitable for all as you have a wide variety of western food to choose from, with side dishes like fries, onion rings, baked potatoes, salad, etc. 

Its a place worth dining in!
Nice food at a reasonable price.  

So, head on down to have a wonderful meal!
BE EARLY TO AVOID THE LONG QUEUE, ESPECIALLY DURING WEEKENDS! =)

Desserts @ HoneyMoon Dessert

Hi Guys,

Its me again and this time i am bringing you desserts.

Wow. This is their "Thai Black Gultinous Rice with Mango (Coconut Juice)".

By mixing the black gultinous rice with the coconut juice and then eating it with the fresh mango is simply mind-blowing.

Being a fan of mango, I can't help but order this dessert.

A good thing is they use fresh mangoes and not the canned ones so quality is assured. Yummy. :)





    The above picture shows the "Sweet Ball in Sweet Ginger Soup". Vincent ordered this  and found the sweet balls to be hand-made and they consists of a special peanut.
  
     This shows that they do not use frozen peanut balls available in the supermarket and quality is assured. However, be warned that the filling may not be to every1's liking.

Overall Verdict:

Given the wide choices of desserts that they offer,it is best to choose one that you prefer and you will not be disappointed by your choice.

Its definitely worth your money and desserts prices range from around $2 to $6.50.

Hence, drop by and eat their desserts when one feels like it.

Tea Cosy Outing

Yo Folks,

As the title suggests, this time we are at Tea Cosy (aka 10,000 Angels)
































The menu of Tea Cosy


Their Specialites (Flavoured Teas)
I had "Turkish Apple" while Vincent had "Tea Cosy Lychee Breeze"
Those are good drinks. As the pot is for 1 pax, it is very worth as one can keep refilling it.


The tea packet inside is the "Turkish Apple" sachet. It gives a very fruity and light hearted flavour


This is 1 of their pastas which is the "Braised Duck Pasta" with Penne as the pasta chosen.
The duck meat is very juicy and tender. There is a very light flavoured olive oil taste No regrets choosing this for me.
If you like duck meat and pasta, this is surely the 1 for you.



The above shows  1 of their most popular items. It is the "Baked Mushrooms"
It is best consumed 1 whole piece at a time. Let the cheese and mushroom being compressed and a very satisfying feeling comes out. Wow. Highly recommended!


This is part of their cosy environment. There are many figurines of angels surrounging the shop.
From the moment one steps into the shop, the feeling it gives is not that of any normal cafe.
It gives a very English type of cottage. To me i find it unique for such a shop to exist in Singapore.
Be sure to check it out.


That is me in the picture in the restaurant. As you can see, the decorations inside here is holy with so many figurines in the background.
It may seem heavenly to some even.
Be sure to check this place out if you are looking for cosy environment and tasty food!

Overall Verdict:

The food is nice and the environment is very unique.
However, one can expect prices here to be slightly expensive.
A simple main course with a pot of tea costs around S$20+.
There is a high tea special priced at $19.95/$$29.95 (1/2 pax) which is worth it.

Dine-in at Ootoya

Hey people...
Both of us went over to Ootoya Japanese Restaurant at Suntec city for dinner this past week.

      The Menuuu

      Chicken with plum sauce


     

       Awesome sunshine egg


    Rice with sesame seeds.Yummy!
    The steamed rice comes with free refill
    with every set meal ordered.
    It taste wonderfully delicious, one of the best rice tasted.
    (Highly recommended)


      Sesame seeds


 
     Chopstick wrapper



Overall verdict
 
We feel that its reasonably priced at around S$16 per set meal (includes FREE REFILL of the awesome steamed rice) and a glass of hot/cold green tea.

The environment is rather unique, as patrons can choose to sit on the "elevated floor" instead of the traditional seats!
