so good breakfast

Breakfast @ Graze

Breakfast here was incredible.
We totally loved the ambience and the food.
But the down side is they only serve brunch once a week
Sunday is the only day they serve brunch.
Monday-Saturday they serve BBQ lunch and dinner
For Sunday they serve brunch, lunch and dinner.

By night from 6.30pm-1.30am, the 2nd level of this pre-war black and white pretty colonial building tune up its volume and the bar Mint starts its operation.


Opened April last year, Graze, standing on 5000sq foot of grassy lawn is a place where diners can stop time and dine in leisurely in a relax environment. Either outdoor or indoor provides fantastic dinning experience.
I sat outside that morning. The sun was shinning but when u are inside rochester park all u can smell is fresh air and cooling breeze. I stepped into the indoor dining area as i need to get to the restroom.
The first feeling i had was. Wow.. such cosy place. Just like a living room.
U can see the crowd enjoying their food, their coffee and chatting away like how a Sunday supposed to start.





The egg's ben tasted better than ordinary. The eggs are nicely poached and the ham tasted fresh and good.
I have been going around town to look for the most prefect pancakes. I cannot say this is the best as its really far from Bill's pancake. I had them in Sydney a few times and it taste just lingers even till today. But the pancakes from Graze is the best i had in Singapore. It's served with Greek butter and it goes together really well. The butter is not at all oily but full of flavours.

This place is one of the best place to have a Sunday brunch.

Taste of Thailand - Bei Sheng Restaurant




I travelled all the way from the East to Yishun Ave 5 to fill my stomach up with some thai food.
But what we had, which i feel is not so Thai food. But rather, good neighbourhood Cze Char.
This is the place u wana be at for similar good food when u dun like the heat and oily feeling u get hawker centres

We drove past the restaurant and we saw the long queue outside.
And we said, oh is true tht the queue is really long yah.
But the management of this restaurant is very efficient. Once we get there they got down our name and gave us the menu so we can tell them what we wana order even before we got ourselves a table.
We waited for about 30mins and got a table inside. We sat down and they set the table immediately.

5 mins later. All our food arrive. We went like.. wow.. so fast.

So we order what's best on their menu.
We had kang kong, cereal prawns, fried fish in thai sauce, Pork Ribs, Tom Yum, Pineapple Rice






I feel the highlights from this restaurants is the fish, prawns, veg and the pineapple rice.

The food here is fresh and cheap.
I don't mind visiting this place more often if i stay somewhere near it.
The bill comes up to a total of $74 bucks for 7peoples and 7dishes with 7 drinks.
And i got 4bucks off when i paid for our bills. How great.

more riceeee @ Rakuzen

This evening i went back to Rakuzen after being tempted by my own entry on Rakuzen.
I went back for their RICE.

I ordered their Curry Rice ($14) tonight.

It was one of the best i ever ate. Slice chicken with very delicious potato that instantly mash in ur mouth topped with very delicious polished rice. I think it would be better if the slice chicken is fried. But nonetheless, it was Fantastic.

Apart from the Curryju, we had the very value for money 7 slice of salmon sashimi for $8. And teriyaki Gindara ($14).



Cold udon that comes with quail egg and some garnish by the side ($10)
The udon is too tough for my liking, Waraku's udon is definately nicer.



Ebi sushi with flying roe ($8)


more sashimi, more rice more rakuzen please

Rakuzen





A farely new japanense restuarant located at Millenia Walk.
Rakezen is the place to be if u have sashimi and japanese grill cravings.
The sashimi apart from being fresh, its really value for money.
No restuarant serve 7slices of salmon at $8 bucks.

We had a grill Cod fish ($14) which was really good, assorted grilled skewers($20) and a sukiyaki set($22).

Ingredients used in Rakuzen are mostly imported from Japan.
I will go back and eat more fresh sashimi and try the other grilled food.
The sukiyaki didnt go well for me as the soup is bland and yet ultra sweet. And worst of all the beef is already over cooked when served.
The rice and chawamushi that comes with it is delicious too.

As u walked from the entrace to the restaurant seating area, they will introduce the make of their rice.
So what's so special? According to them, their rice is sourced from one particular farm, and is polished in the restaurant itself to retain its fragrance.

Apart from Rakuzen fine food, the restaurant offers ultimate privacy to diners.
The place can seats around 120 pax. Most of the seating area are being seperated with draw doors.
So there are many little cabins u can choose to sit in.
If u intend to go in a big group, they have private rooms to accomodate the crowd.
Round table with sofas that sits ard 6pax and conveyor belts sitting are also available.

Arnold's Chicken




Handsdown Mr Kentucky.
Established since 1984, Arnold's has been hiding on a quiet corner of City Plaza.
Arnold's, very much like a fast food joint. They serve chickens, potatos, fish and chips and some desert.
What really worth the try is their chicken.
Really crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside and the plus things is the oil doesnt lingers in your mouth.
For half a spring chicken that comes with 2 sides and a drink it cost only $4.90. Cheap ehh ??
The potato platters with cheese dips cost $4.90.
It really cheap and good. The outlet is usually packed. Do go and try if u yet to eat their chickens before.

They also do delivery combos whichthe price is rather cheap. But only to location from Kalland to Pasir Ris.
Eg : 10piece chicken 1 whole srping chicken many sides and a few drinks at only $35.90.
How much can u eat from KFC with merely $35 bucks ??
