Western 🍔 🥩🍝

We tried some Greek cuisine today!

What we had:
+ Paidakia, or grilled lamb chops
+ Kotopuolo Kalamaki, or chicken skewers, that comes with tzatziki (salted yogurt)
+ Hummus dip with pita

Really enjoyed the food (especially the dips- hummus and tzatziki). We also got an indoor seat facing the sea. 🌊

The food looked pretty and just like the pictures in the menu except that they were not spared from shrinkflation.

What we had:
+ Squid ink pasta with scallops
+ Duck confit
+ Ribeye steak with foie gras
+ Lychee peach tea (cold)

Overall not too bad, especially with Mario & friends as the backdrop during this period. ☺️

Carne diem 🥩

Cheesy appetiser 🧀

🥩 main dish:

+ The Fiorentina steak was tasty and flavourful with the burnt ends. Good for sharing.
+ The lamb chop tasted like satay…but still good though.

🧀 side dish:

+ The burrata was just okay.
+ Mac and cheese was pretty tasty.
+ Mash potato was a good add on to the steak

Verdict:

To beef!
Good experience, even tho I find the food pretty pricey for what they could offer.

I recommend trying out this set meal: bolognese burger + drink of your choice if you don’t mind overspending ($25 vs $10) once in a while…the design was terribly cute and it actually tasted good. Probably better than some Halloween meals I tried!

The “Mexico by Day, Lebanon by Night” pizza has pork belly, chicharrones (Spanish for fried pork bits), some pineapples for its toppings and a chipotle base that adds a mild spicy flavour. As the name suggests, the pizza tastes like a big taco with spicy pork fillings and it certainly did not disappoint!

Indulge in the ambience of this glasshouse cafe. 😍

Brotzeit is not only famous for its pork knuckles. It has seasonal menus that celebrate the German tradition. The Spring menu in April featured the White Asparagus which is the king of vegetable for the Germans. We tried the white asparagus soup which was sweet and creamy!

We tried the lobster linguine, the mac & cheese and the cheesesteak sliders for dinner. I enjoyed the lobster linguine but the meat portion could be more generous. The sides like the sliders are slightly overpriced as well considering the portion. I was expecting a lot from the mac and cheese based on the good reviews but it was just alright for me- nothing special or noteworthy to bring to the table.

We tried the classic burgers with crinkle fries at Shake Shack. We visited the Jewel outlet after the hype died down and there was less crowd by then. As usual, the burger did not let down and the crinkle fries is a must-have!
