Eatzi Gourmet Restaurant

ABBEY: We got another round of vouchers from our bank. Before heading to our archery session we had out lunch at Eatzi Gourmet in Safra Country Club. Eatzi Gourmet is one of the diner chains of JP Pepperdine. I got their October promo of N.Z. strip loin steak at less than 20sgd. Top it with 5sgd more and you've got soup of the day, dessert and hot drink. 

The steak come with baked potato topped with sour cream, and vegetable side dish. The taste is great. My jaw got tired as I chew the big steak. The dessert os a slice of crumble pie. Small as it is but the flavor will have a big  burst in your mouth. We ended the lunch with coffee and tea. The place is homey and light.

WILL: Weekend and you want to go out and looking somewhere to eat your lunch or dinner without the buzzing business of crowded place? Why not go here at Safra Yishun Country Club, here located is the Eatzi Gourmet.

      From Punggol we just took bus and got there for only 40 mins. As we entered the building, a lovely receptionist smiled us and told Abbey to just let the green footprints lead our way to the restaurant. We followed and gladly reached this relaxing and family oriented place.

      As we sat down, they gave us menu and Abbey went for steak, and for me was Norwegian Salmon Smothered. The baked salmon when hits the sauce is a really clicked tandem. It costs $18.50 and we topped up $4.80 to have a soup, dessert and hot drinks.

      Oh my, I cannot finish the salmon because I really squeezed in my stomach all the mashed potato. I had only two spoons of the lovely crumb pie and the half cup of the tea. Gosh, my tummy is so full.

      Citibank really rocks! We have this opportunity to taste the foods from Eatzi Gourmet because of the points-system of their credit cards.

Choco Lava Recipe

250g of chocolate (semi sweet or dark)

1 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of flour

3 eggs

3 tsp of vanilla extract

1/4 stick of butter

Put eggs and sugar in mixer for 10mins until the color is off-yellow. 

Melt the chocolate and butter in double-boiler.

Preheat the oven to 400F (206C)

Put the choco-butter mixture into the eggs and sugar while continuous stirring to avoid the eggs to be cooked. When the chocolate covered all the mixture, slowly put the flour by folding.

Generously butter the ramekins; this will help to take out the cake from the mold. Bake it for 12mins. Once time elapsed remove from oven and let it cool. Slide a knife in the side of ramekins and take out the cake. Serve with ice cream or strawberry.

VERDICT

WILL:  There is something that I know what Abbey is up to, haha, so every surprise was busted! I keep on calling that Monday morning checking him what he is doing, what he is cooking, he says he is doing nothing. On my nth call, maybe he can't handle now his phone ringing and ringing, he admitted that he baked Ate Stella's request, the choco lava.

       Again, it was a hit in our home and at my office. When I saw the finish product that was still in the ramekins, I told to myself that this may taste like his brownies, when he served that hot dessert on my table, the oozing chocolate that melts really looks appetizing. After my dinner, I get a small portion and tasted it. Damn, the moisture, the sweetness and the liquefied chocolate tandem really a nice combo with the freshly sliced strawberry.

       Nice one Abe!

DM Archery

ABBEY: Yellow 4, Legolas, Katniss, and Hawkeye have one thing in common; they have bow and arrows. Give them a vantage point and they will slay their enemies in no time. When I watched them showing their skills its as if archery is very very easy. When I was a kid we also have bow and arrow as a toy; and just like those times my first shoot on DM Archery range is slightly of target. 

We got the voucher from Groupon, 15 arrows for 5 sgd, and booked a schedule. It was located at Orchid Country Club in Yishun. It was fun. Seeing your arrows off target after concentrating for the bull's eye will make you laugh. Handling of the bow made my left arm almost numb as it was heavy. So our friends didn't finish their session but had fun taking snaps.

 

WILL: Abbey as always hesitant when I am introducing a new activity for us. This is better than to stay at our room thinking how happy our family and friends in Manila. Hehe. We are here in Singapore to work, live and explore things and places, balancing out our personal life and our job. 

      Even having a second thought, Abbey agreed to buy Groupon vouchers. This is to test our skills, our eyes, and calculations of things against gravity. 

      David of DM Archery patiently taught us how to hold the bow, how to place the arrow, how to target and how to get the arrow from the board. We were not in the hurry since we are waiting for one my colleague, April. David saw we are taking time to pose and shoot, he asked to go to the VIP lane. Haha. 

      I got two bull's eye then the 12 of arrows just went to black and red. Me and my husband had a great time to know my colleagues out of the office. 

      You can contact DM Archery at 63464788 or just straight go to Orchid Country Club for 30minutes unlimited arrows for only $9.
