Buttercake & Cream (Sunset Way)

Tucked in a corner of Sunset Way lies Buttercake & Cream, a tasteful bistro which I honestly wouldn't stumble upon if not for my Cell Group nearby and a closed Chicken Rice Stall.

Singapore 120106 

Having been to Sunset Way for the first time, my friends, dear, and I were actually looking around for this Chicken Rice stall which my friend claims is good. But due to the Chinese New Year festival, most shops were closed, leaving us to wander about in search for alternative dinner venues.

After walking through almost every nook and cranny of Sunset Way, we turned into a corner and found Buttercake & Cream. Filled with hunger, we quickly settled at Buttercake & Cream without any protest or hesitation.

Our friends ordered the "Sweet", "Sumptuous" & "Satisfying" 3 Course Set Dinner for 2 ($49.90+), which came with a grande of Supreme Mexican Nachos - Classic Mexican Nachos that's topped with tasty seasoned ground beef and mozarella cheese.

Despite not being a cheese person, I really loved the grond beef and mozarella cheese topping! The slight saltiness from the cheese along with the chewy and tasty ground beef really complemented the Nachos. 

As for their main course, they had the Pork Knuckle which was shared amongst themselves because of the huge portion.

For my main course, I had the Chicken Sausage ($13.00) - a char grilled succulent chicken leg and jumbo sausage, served with baked potato and sauteed vegetables and topped with their signature mushroom sauce.

Well apart from the juicy and succulent chicken leg, I didn't quite like the jumbo sausage. I don't know, it's just too tough for me to chew on.

Lastly, dear had the Chicken Parmigiana ($13.00) - crispy lightly breaded chicken leg topped with their own marinara sauce, melted cheddar cheese, and served with steak house fries.

And to end the very sumptuous dinner spread, we shared our friend's Baked Crumble Coconut Pie which is part of the "Sweet", "Sumptuous" & "Satisfying" 3 Course Set Dinner for 2.

Since I'm not a fan of coconut, I can't provide any review on the very delicious looking Baked Crumble Coconut Pie. But judging from the "Oomms" and "Aaaahs" from my friends, it sure tastes good!

Saweedee Ka Thai Express!

Thai food has never been well received by my taste-buds. If I'm hungry, the first thing that I will think of is Chinese food, followed by Western food, then.. Wait. It hasn't got past Western food so far.

But one fine day, my colleague and I passed by Thai Express at Junction 8, and their bright promotion poster caught my attention.

"Hmm.. $8.90 for these lunch sets. That's quite reasonable." So I nudged my colleague and suggested Thai Express for lunch.

We then got seated after 5 minutes or so because their restaurant was pretty crowded.

Here's what my colleague ordered - Beef noodles. Though this looks like an ordinary bowl of beef noodles, but trust me, IT IS A HUGE PORTION. In fact they were so generous with their food portion that by the time I finished my meal, my colleague gave me that stoned out look, followed by a burp, while half of her bowl was still filled with beef meat.

As for me, I ordered their Lunch Set: Tom Yam Fish Soup with rice, which includes a side dish and a dessert - both of which I cannot remember what their dish names and what it was exactly.

But anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch despite the spicy and a tad sweet Tom Yam Soup. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, and the fact that I was enjoying my meal even though it's THAI FOOD.

With that, it's no wonder I walked out of Thai Express filling very satisfied, and very proud of myself for making a very brave lunch decision.

Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee

Some time ago, my friends brought me to Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee for dinner. Since I had no appetite, I didn't order anything, and ended up watching my 2 friends enjoy their dinner.

Fast forwarding to present day, dear and I were shopping at Marina Square. Soon it was dinner time, and we started picking our brains for a dinner venue. Fortunately, I recalled Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee, and suggested it to the BF, who did not hesitate to say "Ok."

Here's the Duck Kolo Mee that the BF ordered. If not for the small portions, I think dear would comment "Good" instead of "Mmm.. Not bad". 

But seriously, the duck meat is really not bad. Soft, tender, and without the overwhelming duck taste, it's no wonder dear unconsciously nodded his head in silent praise as he ate his dinner. 

I however, ordered their classic Sarawak Kolo Mee, which consists of quite a number of ingredients: Minced meat, Char Siew, along with 2 different types of Wan Ton dumplings in my soup.

Well all in all, I would definitely give this place one thumbs up and probably revisit this cafe the next time I come by Marina Square. You should too!

Fat Burger (Upper Thomson)

I've heard of Fat Boys a couple of times but never tried it until today.

Heading to their Upper Thomson branch, my friends and I were fortunate to find seats before the dinner crowd started streaming in.

187 Upper Thomson Road
Singapore 574335
Tel: +65 6252 8780

Taking a quick glance at their menu, I chuckled to myself when I saw some of their menu names. But suppressing my laughter, I quickly settled at the Wimpy Bastard. Ha ha!

It didn't take long before my dinner arrived. And after sinking my teeth into the burger, I realized why this place is getting popular. From succulent beef patties to toasted buns and flavorful mix ingredients, this burger is by far the best I've ever tried!

Which is why I'm glad that they are located near my office. Because seriously, I'm going to pop by ever so often - if my pocket allows.

Fig & Olive (Vivocity)

If not for a Standard Chartered 1-for-1 voucher, we probably wouldn't dine at Fig & Olive.

See, the BF and I have walked past Fig & Olive a couple of times, but didn't enter because a tiny voice in our guts cried out "Can we have Subway please? How about Burger King? Or the Food Court?"

But well, we finally succumbed to the vouchers because we were running out of lunch venue ideas at Vivocity.

Anyway, the BF ordered the Classic Chicken BBQ Pasta - Herb grilled chicken topped with homemade Figo BBQ sauce, fresh vegetables served with pasta and tomato sauce ($15.90).

In all truthfulness, it was really a major disappointment. The pasta was diluted and tasteless, likewise with the herb grilled chicken, which seemed as if it was microwaved and soaked in a pool of BBQ sauce.

I ordered the Figo Fish Oglio - Premium breaded dory, green vegetables and coleslaw served with choice of pasta and tomato sauce or olive rice ($15.90).

Though mine tasted a tad better than the BBQ grilled chicken, the fish was flakey and a little overly battered.

All in all, we wouldn't return back to Fig & Olive even with any 1-for-1 promotions. I guess out guts were right in the first place.
