Coffee Beanstro

Tried the Coffeebeanstro at Marina Bay one day for breakfast!


Lol just a random picture of our teas. It was a breakfast set so our teas came with it.


I ordered the Buttermilk Waffles cuz I wanted something sweet. Yummy waffles! I love that it's thick, and that its crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. I think one of the best waffles I've eaten. Love the cream they gave too, wish they gave more! This is also served with maple syrup.


This is the Beanstro Breakfast Plate. A large amount of eggs to fill you up, with butter slathered baguette, mushrooms, sausages and bacon. I tried everything except the mushroom because I don't eat mushroom. Everything tasted fine, though the eggs could have been more buttery.

Go there for the nice ambiance. I felt rather touristy there. Service was good, but maybe it was because of the slow morning.

Bill: $35.30
Location: The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, Canal Level B2-20

Delifrance

Hi all! I'm gonna talk about Delifrance today!

Actually, this post consists of my two visits there, with different people by the way. The first was with my mom and sis. My entire family (with the exception of my father) adores delifrance. Heh we're just bread people!

The second visit was with my friend. When she said that she hasn't eaten at Delifrance before, I made up my mind to introduce her to Delifranceeeeeeeeee. Bread Is Good ;D

Well for the visit with my mom and sis, my mom had this baked potato with seawfood below. I do so love a good baked potato. The potato is thoroughly cooked, with the skin easy to peel. Plus Delifrance gives this bacon thingy, giving it a crunchy texture.


Haha eh don't judge k. Was feeling peckish, so just ate the salad with chicken topping. Hehe love the chicken mayo. Not exactly diet friendly but OH WELL.


Well... We added a few bucks to get the soup. My advise? DON'T. The soup is just atrocious. Even my instant Campbell soup tastes nicer >:( Was just so watery and tasteless.



My sister actually had the baked potato with chicken. I don't know how come there isn't any picture of it :O but I know how it tastes still! Hahahha, it tasted just as good as the seafood one ;) In fact, my mom was commenting that the baked potatos at Delifrance tastes nicer than Wendy's.

My sister was like "of course la ma, you compare the price..."

Haha! Yeah true that. But of course if you're looking for Cheese, Wendy's cheesy potato wins hands down.

Okay the next few pictures are of my second visit. Because it was my friend's first visit, I thought we'd try the new sandwiches. The website says to try the "signature sandwich experience from France". HAH MY FOOT LA.

So this sandwich has this pretentious name of "Le Saint-Michel". Sigh, pretentious name to attract gullible suckers like yours truly -_-

Basically this piece of baguette has smoked salmon, this weird green knot thingy, and a wedge of lemon. THATS ALLLLLLLLLL. And to make it worse, the baguette was hard. My friend must be scarred for life :(


The below is the baked potato with seafood which tastes fine thank god.



Okay so remember, next time you do Delifrance, don't order the new sandwiches k! Stick with the old ones. Anw, I find the Delifrance website very irritating and lacking of information indeed. I mean... I'm confused which has the real food etc. The one at Toa Payoh sells pasta, baked rice etc, but the Raffles Place one doesn't. Why can't they just state it on their website!

Plus I heard that Delifrance has a buffet breakfast of croissants and pastries, but it isn't stated anywhere on the website. Anyone knows anything about this?

Gosh my eyes are closing already, hehe goodnight all.

Fish Manhattan

Hi everyone!

As you know, Fish Manhattan came up with new food to try! Woo~ I love trying food hahaha, I wish I can have a spoonful of food, then try other food. I think I just love food, so it's difficult for me to limit myself to a dish o.o

So anyway! My mom, sister and I decided to dine there for lunch one day. My mom and I had the 1-for-1, while my sister ordered something from the menu. 


 
Mediterranean Baked Fish

My sister had this. Tasted it and there was a mild herb taste. It's not a strong taste, because I don't like herb tastes, but I was fine with this! It's more of a subtle taste with a tinge of spiciness, and the fish texture was nice to eat! The rice was as usual the garlic herb rice, which was rather nice :)


 spicy baked rice

Spicy stuff! The fish, that is. Haha yep, spicy fish, so only order this if you like spicy stuff!

Spicy seafood sea-esta

Hehe I do like my puns. Siesta, sea-esta, got it? Lol. Anyway, I had this, because I wanted something light. And something spicy for spicy-eaters! I love my chili, but this had me drinking two glasses of lemon tea. Oh oh, only order this if you eat all those scallops, mussels etc. I don't and I totally wasted them :( They had LOTS of carrots inside which surprises me because golly, I didn't know that carrots were from the sea.

So for the one for one, for $19.90, you get two main courses, 2 soup of the day and if you add $1.90, you get refillable drinks! Worth it, I'd say. And the salad comes at 50% too :D



So yeap! Yummy, but spicy lunch indeed.
