Visited Spruce at Old Fire Station at Upper Bukit Timah one weekday afternoon for lunch and love every bit of it! Would like to go back for their weekend brunch! I think it’s because there are hardly anyone on a weekday afternoon, the food was really good, the plating was nice, the service was attentive and ambience was perfect. We love that each dish was made with love and each was a rather healthy and well balanced dish.

I can’t hide my excitement. Yums.

Love the red wooden door at the Old Fire Station!

Love the high ceiling, wooden beam and decor!

Their lunch menu! I want to go back and try their famous pancakes and Eggs Benedict!

Crabmeat Caesar Salad. Total Yums!

The roast chicken was grilled to perfection, the broccolini is yummy and their mash potato is too good!

I’ve not tasted pork ribs with such special sauce before! I’m not sure what exactly goes into it, probably some spices and mustard? All I know is that it’s good.

Wanted a dessert which is light after our heavy meal. Their apple pie with vanilla ice cream is lovely.

It was a great lunch with good food, ambience, service and company. I’m a happy girl!

Together with my mum and sister, we had a weekday dim sum breakfast at Red Star. It is a quaint old dim sum restaurant where dim sums are still served with push trollies. According to my mum, in its heyday, it is a popular place to hold weddings in the 80s and it is considered something luxurious compared to void deck or coffee shop weddings.

There were a few hits and misses here, the Char Siew Puff was disappointing. The crust was too thick and not as flavourful. The Xiao Long Pao has no soup in it and the Prawn Dumpling and Egg tart was mediocre too. Other than these, the rest were yummy!

Cafe Frenzie Bistro & Bar
10 Tebing Lane
Tel: 64410966

You will never believe that there is a nice drinking place like Cafe Frenzie Bistro & Bar tucked in a corner of Punggol near to the waterfront, together with other tenants like Popeyes, a Hongkong cafe, a seafood restaurant, a prawning area and a place for billiard and pool! This is probably the hippest hangout place in Punggol. Cw, you will have a place to hang out in the future! We didn’t try their food but it’s a nice place just to chill and have a drink.

Recently I’ve been eating out ALOT and hence the many food posts here! Was at Wild Honey at Scotts Square and love that the ambience is great and comforting all day breakfast too! But it was too pricey to have them regularly and their service is not attentive. I prefer down to earth, affordable and healthy Cedele any day! Oops.

The Canadian

The pancake is fluffy and soft but too thick. The berry sauce is sourish and I would have prefer it to be sweeter!

The English

The bread is soft and yummy, the sausage is nice, love the mushroom and dad’s baked beans but the portion is too huge.

Steak sandwich with beetroot

Yummy bread with yummy steak with beetroot but we were too stuffed. Too much food, too much carbs, we were too greedy.

Had Ikea food on Friday and to my disappointment, their meatballs doesn’t taste as good as before! Ikea meatballs and chicken wings used to be my comfort food but with their new meatballs which comes in irregular shape and is too soft, I doubt I will have craving for it the next time. Boo! I want my firm and juicy meatballs back!

I always love Dian Xiao Er‘s Herbal roasted duck but I have never tried their Samsui Ginger Chicken in their sister restaurant Soup Restaurant. Finally tried it last month and love the way it is served and that it should be eaten wrapped with lettuce. Yummy! I like that both Dian Xiao Er and Soup Restaurant’s food quality and service is good and consistent. It is a tough feat to do that.

A while back, I blog about our family outing to Gardens by the Bay and here is the post about the food we ate at Peach Garden Noodle House at Supertree Dining. Lots of food post recently! Haha.

Peach Garden never disappoint, they are consistent in their food quality and it is really yummy!

This is alright.

Their carrot cake is awesome. The best that I’ve tasted.

Egg Yolk Prawn, really really good! Love this!

This is good too!

Love their spinach with three eggs! Their soup is so savoury and yummy!

This is good.

Yummy Peking duck.

This is a good place to have an affordable family meal at Gardens by the Bay. It is not exactly cheap but for the food quality, it is worth it!

Manna Story
2 Jurong East Central 1
#04-19 JCube

Being eating a lot of Korean food lately and tried Manna Story at JCube, the food is alright and reasonably priced but what we like about this place is that there are 12 types of side dishes and it is free flow and self service! We don’t have to ask from the service staff and we won’t be given dirty look after third or forth serving. Haha.

What is something you always look forward to in a wedding dinner? For me, other than the lovely bride, it is Orh Nee (Teochew Yam Paste). A true blue Teochew loves her Yam and I agree! This calorie busting and artery clogging dish is what I always look out for at wedding dinners. Yums.
