Poulet


Yayy !! new restaurant at bugis plus that screams chicken!










An alternative twist to roasted chicken as it is surrounded by a creamy soupy sauce that is so nice combined with the roasted chicken.
For a hwalthier alternative, try the braised chicken thigh i love so much!



Apparently the chicken has been prepared a whole day for perfection. Also the desserts are given jus as much attention and im definitely going back for more!

Sofra Turkish Cafe & Restaurant

Sofra Turkish Cafe & Restaurant
Food acts as a warm blanket, gently caressing the emotions we face in today’s stressful society. An evening dinner at Sofra Turkish Cafe and Restaurant brings you to a warm and cosy haven that takes you on an exciting experience to scrape the surface of Turkish culture. Do not let its humble location in Shaw Towers fool you. It opened in January 2000 in our bustling city extending its reputation to new food explorers while still satisfying its long list of loyal customers.
Sofra has a unique concept of combining both a cafe and restaurant serving Turkish cuisines that is halal thus extending its market reach to Muslims as well. The story unfolds when you first step into the restaurant. Immediate attention from service crew directs you to your table while they patiently wait for your order to be taken.




Upon being greeted by Sofra’s classic orange menu, you have to navigate through a huge array of choices featuring the common classics, Chicken Baked Rice ($15.50) to traditional Turkish delights such as Iskender Kebab ($14.20) where you can be adventurous with beef, lamb and chicken meat choices or perhaps Pide ($12.50) a Turkish pizza.

After wrestling over the various dishes, my dining companion and I chose the Sofra Yaprak Tavuk ($19.50) and Guvec Tavuk(15.90) with a Chef’s Plate ($19.90) to share. Firstly, a perfect dish for the indecisive came first. The Chef’s Plate was a surprise at every turn. The combination of the delightful Doner Kebab, Izgara Kofte, and Shish kebap brought the different textures and tastes together.

Next, the Sofra Yaprak Tavuk exposes you to chicken meat stuffed with Turkish rice, mushrooms and vegetables, served with everyone’s all time favourite mash potatoes. While it looks pretty decent, there is a dry after taste that left me a little disappointed. Guvec Tavuk, an oven baked chicken dish accompanied with well marinated mushrooms. It is a great alternative to chicken baked rice lovers.



The best part about the menu is the special treats available to compliment the end of a meal. The dessert section had the Turkish rice pudding ($5.90) which was appealing. Eventually we went for the Turkish Chocolate Pudding with marshmallow ($5.40) and the Baklava ($5.90/2pc) which is a homemade Turkish fitto pastry topped with a touch of pistachios that called out to us. 

The Baklava tickles your senses with sweetness from drizzled syrup as it teases your tastes buds with every bite. It completely contrasts against the chocolate pudding that tasted like a mild dark chocolate compressed in pudding form.

A detour back to the restaurant after paying the bill left me at the cafe section of the restaurant sipping the tantalizing Turkish hot apple tea ($2.90) that wakes your senses after a completely full and satisfied meal. Turkish Coffee ($4.40) would be preferred only by taste buds that prefer a very strong tastes as it comes in a thick liquid form in sizes replicating drinking shots.



The pleasures of eating at Sofra go beyond the attentive service or the warm ambience. It is like a second home for many loyal customers to gather to enjoy the comforting experience of the concept of integrating great Turkish cuisine coupled with affordable price.

12-inch Pizzas and Records


12-inch Pizzas and Records
Sex is good, but not as good as fresh, sweet corn. -Garrison Keillor
Aside from the amazing natural wind, we get the best pizzas in the world served as a 12-inch record size.






Don't let this simple menu fool you. Timbre literally take pizza to the next level with thin cut crusts served with an amazing combination of different Favourites. Service is swift and quick. Perfect for casual dining for dates and is extremely enjoyable with this beautiful view.




Topped off with its affordable prices, ($14-19) that can feed 2 people, this is my definite new chillout place. Don't even worry about being chased out. While its amazing, not many people know of this haven just yet so go before it gets too popular!(:

Earle Swensens

Earle Swensen's
Everyone loves our magnificent 5 star Changi Airport. People travel there for so many various reasons, the basic flights to studying to EATING! (:








The huge array of dishes available ranges from Fisherman catch $26.90 with a combination of delightful catches from the sea to the value for money $36.90 lobster baked rice for two. What i personally feel differenciates Earle to the usual Swensens is the qualitified service and the complimemtary buffet salad that accompanies any main courses.




However the lack of staff made it tiring to wait for food. The waiting time was made up by the salad buffet where u can taste papaya salad or smoked sausage salad. Honestly for the price, especially for busy bees, it just ain worth waiting for.

The Vines Restaurant


The Vines Restaurant
Favourite dish: Griled Fish The genuine details were all well taken care of.


I really like how the portions of the food is huge which means if you are a light eater, try sharing. The Lobster with fish specials is also a must try accompanied with some escargots.



Cakes are affordably priced at less than $20 for one full cake so if you are planning to dine for a special occasion, fret not. The walnut brownie cake is presented in a very simple way but with a close look at the texture is completely mouthwatering. A Must Try.

For a warm service dining experience and comfortable home away from home meal, Arbite has a warm ambience to accompany its tasty western menu choices.



 
Seafood Aglio Olio was my absolute favorite with the complimentary tastes tapping your tastes buds oh so gently it simply amazed me. Aside from that, you can get entertained just by observing the work they have done around you with little unique details integrating to enhance the ambiance.



Located in the heartlands, reservations are recommended to this classic restaurant to satisfy your taste buds and a unique dining experience.
