Marche Mövenprick @ Vivocity

This is one of my favourite family restaurant! Marche provides fresh ingredients and cooks your orders right infront of your very eyes and offers the feeling as if you were eating in a market. Customers stroll through the market and can’t help but not only be attracted to the presentations. Marche @ Vivocity gave me a swedish "feel" where the furnitures they use makes you feel that you are in a foreign land. 

 

Before we enter, we were given a card per person. How does this card works? When you walk around the "Market" and come across your favourite food, you will order your food from the chef and pass your cardto them. They will key in the orders you have and return you the card. You can order from many different stores from the Market with your card. And when you are done with our meal, just proceed to the counter with card and they will charge you accordingly to what you have ordered. And if you lost your card, you have to pay S$100.

 

 

The Market consist of Spanish food, Desserts, Salad Bar, Pizza, BBQ, Seafood, Beer and fruitjuice bar, Soups, Rösti, Pasta and Crepe.

 

 

 

 

I went to order my favourite Rösti, (a swiss dish consisting mainly of potatos)

1 plain and the other with Smoked Salmon with Sour Cream.

 

 

 

 

 

My mom ordered this and also my favourite pepperoni pizza :D

 

 

Not forgetting their popular Cream Of Wild Mushroom Soup. 

 

It was definitely a good meal with the company of your family members :)

Kway Chap

This is one of my favourite kwaychap stall in the eastern side of Singapore! Located at the Coffeeshop right opposite Temasek Polytechnic, and its also popular among the student there.

So if you're one of Temasek Poly students reading this article, i've got good news that if you are ever tired of peak lunch crowd in school or the food there itself, do make your way down to this coffeeshop to have a taste of this popular chinese cuisine. Eventhough the queue is always long, its worth queueing for!

So what is kwaychap? Its actually a pork dish that includes different parts of the pig organs and meat, such as the pig skin, pig meat, pig small/large intestine, pig stomach, taupok, eggs and tofu all being boiled into their special dark sauce.

It may sound or even looks gross even before you try it. However, if your a pork lover eater, do give it a try and you have no regrets. Anyway what is kwaychap without the "kway"? The "kway" they sold here are cooked to perfection.

 And i wouldnt recommend you to take out, but to have this in the coffeeshop.

So this is what i've ordered: pork intestines , skins and stomach!

Notice i didnt ordered the "kway" cause it wont be "full" for me ^^

Dipping these meat into their special chilli makes the whole dish taste even better!

Not only do they sell kwaychap, they also sell pig organ soup which is always sold out :O

This is not the only kwaychap stall in this vicinity, however theres another kwaychap stall right opposite of it! And guess what? The other kwaychap stall is run by the owner's son! This shows how good their food is!

Mubarak Restaurant @ Little India

On a Saturday morning, we went to had brunch at my favourite Indian Muslim restaurant, situated right opposite the Indian Heritage Centre by the cross junction. It is very easy to spot the restaurant due to its blue painting.

Roti Prata is the Asian version of flat crispy yet soft pancakes and serves best with curry or just dip in sugar. 

One of their popular dishes in this restaurant are the Mutton or Quail Briyani, yes heard it right, Quail! 

Well i didn't have these 2 popular dish because i want to satisfy my cravings, which is my favourite egg prata, paper prata and not forgetting TehTarik* (pull tea)!

What is TehTarik? Its actually a hot milk tea beverage.

Not long after, our food have arrived.

Green: Kosong - Plain Prata

Blue: Egg - Prata with Egg

Orange - Curry 

Red - TehTarik

Blue: This is the paper prata drizzled with sweetener crispy on the outside, chew on the inside

While this i had 3years ago was drizzled in butter :P really unhealthy..

What are those black markings on the Prata? Those are the "burnt" outer layer of the dough. They are place ontop of the flat pan and cook till it turns golden brown.

The only issue with that place is their seats.., not large group friendly because they only have tables at the corridor. But that is part of the eating experience eating at little India. Casual and relax.

Ramen Champion @ Bugis Plus

In Singapore, school holiday doesnt really mean "holiday" as there are so much homeworks and things to be done. So during my 1 week "Holiday" right after my Space Challenge Workshop, my team and I walked over to Bugis+ to settle on our cravings: Japanese Ramen.

Ramen Champion is a restaurant that consist of 5 different Ramen Stalls located within. This 5 Ramen Stalls battle out to see which one of them serve the best bowl of ramen. It operates on a cash-less system and you’ll be given a card upon entry, everything you’ve ordered will be charged to the card and payment is upon exit.

Once you enter, you'll feel like you're in one of those Japanese village.It was lunch period and thankfully it wasn't crowded. 

It was tough to choose between which 1 of the 5 ramen stalls to eat, so i just randomly picked a Ramen Stall. 

I've ordered the Beef God Ramen,  including gyoza :P gyoza was fresh but the fillings was disappointing.

While my friends ordered Pork ramen

I must say that their egg is poached to perfection! However, their soup may taste quite salty. Hence, i ordered a freshly  squeezed Asashi beer!

Bread Street Kitchen @ Marina Bay Sands

And finally me and my classmates are able to get to have a taste of one of the Celebrity Chef owned restaurant here in Singapore @ Shoppes at Marina Bay Sand. We had to reserve a table in advance if not we have to wait really long.

Gordon Ramsay needs little introduction as he's really popular in Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmare's (one of my favourite shows) etc. His Bread Street Kitchen is helmed by Executive Chef Sabrina Stillhart, who previously worked with him at London’s BSK and the one Michelin starred Savoy Grill. 

Bread Street Kitchen is a 2 level restaurant. The top floor is the outdoor dining and bar area where you are able to enjoy the scenic view of Singapore's Central Business District together with the breeze of salt water from the Singapore River. And the ground floor is cozy with great atmosphere and lighting. 

Service is efficient and prompt, from serving your food, refilling of water and payment.

The food is pricey, can't complain much because of its location and it's Celebrity Chef label. 

While waiting for our food, freshly baked bread from the oven and home made butter was served.

Our appertiser:
Scallops

My friends' dishes:

And this is my messy half eaten burger! :) Juicy and flavourful with every bite! Fresh Cut fries, really filling!

Dirty Duck Diner @ The Ubud Building

Bebek Begil serves one of the best crispy duck and crispy chicken rice I've ever had in my life! This restaurant was originated from Bali, Indonesia and they opened one of their third restaurants here in Jakarta.

My aunt brought us here to try and i must say this restaurant swept me off my feet!

I've ordered the crispy chicken rice because they serve special nasi kunyit* (indonesia for: tumeric rice cook with coconut) which make the rice really fragrant and appetising. Nevertheless i shared the trademark dish (didn't manage to take a pic) with my mom which was the crispy duck and it tasted heavenly!

Before our food was serve, the waitress serves us their signature appertizer and  *belachan (spicy chilly)

This is the belachan! It literally goes well with anything! Its so good that many customer will buy a jar of it home.

This is what i had: The Crispy half chicken with yellow rice! It was tender, succulent and flavourful with a crackly-crisp skin.

And yes its highly recommend to visit this restaurant if your here in Jakarta and I will definitely visit here once again!
