Ma Maison @ The Central

Here is another one of my favourite place, we patronise a few times at their Bugis outlet, and we patronise here a few times too. But it was already pass 1 to 2 years since our last patronise, and we wanted to introduce this nice place to my MIL and SIL.

Ma Maison is really easy to find, as it is located quite near to Chinatown, and it is near to Clark Quay MRT station, just less the few mins walk.

As you can see, their interior decor really has the oldern character and some ornaments are really retro. Just wondering where do they get this item from.

Their menu are big with great pictures, so that you will not miss out a single item.

Here come my dish, beef steak with rice, you can choose spaghetti if you want to…

Its steak is tender and juicy, and its gravy is a little mixture of saltiness and sourness. It does go well with the fats from the steak, and if you eat together with rice, pow wow, its sure hit the jackpot in your stomach.. beautifully feel great 

My MIL ordered this Paella

both wifey and my SIL order his Omelette rice with beef burger.

Its also one of my favourite too.. their omelette is perfectly done, and its burger which mixed with demaglace sauce, is really something.

I will go there again as i have some voucher to spare…

cheers

Lao Bei Jing @ Velocity Novena

This is another Chinese Restaurant which we have not been patronise for many many years.  Ambience  and decor has not change, but the only changes are they employ more PRC now.

They have slightly change the menu with more visual.

Their Dumplings are still forever taste good, and yes, it definitely has to eat it hot, but do be careful not to get burn :P

Here is another one of the signature dish, the Crystal Jade fried tofu, it is still live up to the standard that we tasted many years ago. And this one dish I strongly recommended.

This is the best fish .. I mean best dish, the sweet sauce will definitely open your appetite after so much from the above, the meat are chunky and soft, with the sauce pour into it, you sure feel that you are in heaven..

well… what shall i say

GO FOR IT !!!!

Asia Grand @ Bras Basah

You just wouldn't believe it, this restaurant is one of the most difficult to have a reservation, and we need to book one month in advance to treat my MIL. The last time we tried was many many years ago, when they were at next to Sheraton Hotel.

They are now at Odeon Buidling, lets go in and check it out.

The ambience looks grand and presentable, but if you are you thinking of have a big wedding dinner, I urge you think twice, as they dont really have a big place here. Probably a small birthday party will do.

Here comes our egg tart. Nothing fantastic, but it is still better some restaurant.

This is one dish you must really try as this is so call their signature one.

Its crispy skin really crunch when you put it in your mouth, and one bite you will have the fat flowing, running around it, and with the dipping of mustard sauce, it is just a perfect match.

Siu mai, is tasty and with the fresh roe on it, this dim sum will really want you to ask for more, do remember to go with some chilli as it will enhance its flavour too

The rest of the dim sum is really tasty and we have no regrets coming here and have no regrets treating my MIL. If you are looking for a place to treat your friend well..

Maybe this is the place for you..

Cheers

Pique Nique Cafe @ Ngee Ann City

I work out in Ngee Ann most of the day, has been always walk pass this cafe.

Told my wife I will try this place out, and if it is good, I will bring her here.

The place is pretty cosy, and they even have some car-seat by the side. And if you have finish your shopping trying to look for a place to have a nice cup of coffee or if you are looking for place to meet up friends for a nice catch up.. this could be a place for you to gather.

Their menu is quite unique and retro, choices are very clear cut and you dont have to worry that they have too much to choose from

So far I have tried their waffle with ice-cream. This is one great waffle I have tried, its texture are fluffy and soft. Going with coffee seems like a obvious choice.

Next the French Toast.  I think they have over done it on the outside, but its still fluffy in the inside, and I almost finish it all.

Overall verdict, I will still patronise them as I need to try some of their food on menu that is very tempting.

Hear me soon.

Cheers

Tonkatsu Ma Maison at Mandarin Gallery Orchard

Me and wifey have not been here for quite some time and I think its a great chance to bring my MIL here to have a nice dinner here in Mandarin Gallery. Tonkatsu Ma Maison actually spin out from Ma Maison Western Cafe, and serve great Tonkatsu. Food is good, and it is also a great place to sit and chat. But the only sad things is that they dont do reservation.

As you can see from the pictures, the ambience are cosy with character in their decor.

Their menu are full with pictures, so that you dont have to guess what are the names representing.

MIL ordered a mix fried food which consists of chicken, fish, prawn.

As for me and wifey, we both ordered Pork Fillet with dark miso sauce, accompany with brown rice.

Meat are juicy and with the miso sauce, it is even tastier and makes meat like heaven when put into your mouth.

ROBERT TIMMS CAFE @ Orchard

Having passing by Robert Timms (RT) almost every morning to office and to gym, this will be a good place to try out during our birthday celebration feast.

The ambience is no different from any other cafe, probably they focus on food rather then on decor.

As usual we ordered our tea, and specially request some lemons in our glass.

Our Ceasar's Salads tastes superb. Dressing was not over dress, and they sprinkle enough cheese and its bread crumbs with bacon compliment each other very well.

I can remember all name, the Ox ribs was really big, and the chef braised in a way that it is tender and juicy. If they sreally serve rice, it sure goes well with the gravy that was filled on the plate..

Over all, we had a enjoyable meal, staff was nice…

Great place for chit chat too.
