Food Capital at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel

ABBEY: We had dinner with our guests from Pinas at Food Capital @ Grand Copthorne Hotel. The buffet setup is circular. You can check the food items in one fluid circular motion. 

What caught my attention is their carving station. The beef and lamb is soft, tender and moist. I put gravy on each bite. Next is laksa. I was craving for it and didn't get disappointed with the bowl I got. Then I had some chicken tandoori, sushi and chicken lasagna. The beef stew literally melted in mouth. No chewing needed. :) 

To wash them down, I had coffee. We availed EATIGO's 50% reservation service and the price went down to S$37++ (UP S$74++).

WILL: Grand Copthorne at Clarke Quay announced its opening of newly renovated restaurant... the Food Capital. While browsing EATIGO, I am on my luck that Food Capital is on their list of 50% discount. I booked and an instant confirmation sent to my email and I received an SMS too. 

We were greeted delightfully by the concierge and guided us to our table. And from the video, it  doesn't have too many selection BUT the viands are incredibly savory. 

What I love the most is their fresh oyster. Yeah! Yeah! Every hotel buffet has it, but Grand Copthorne Hotel's Food Capital has the meatiest and oyster I have tasted. Hmmmm, other hotels, you should check out who is their supplier. Haha! Their laksa is remarkable too. Chocolate fountain is available for kids to enjoy. Coffee and tea is there to help you digest your first round meal. Haha! Do not skip their desserts, specially the eclair. 

You can have a seat beside the window for you to enjoy the sight of Singapore River. 

Enjoy the discounted buffet!

ButtonsUp Mushroom Crisp (Salted Egg Flavour)

ABBEY: Buttons Up Mushroom is the entrepreneurial product of one of our friends group, Ate Che. 

Filipinos love chips (chichirya). And we all know those belong to junk food group. So how to replace them and encourage Pinoys to eat healthful food like mushroom? Mask the taste, package it good and sell. Clever right? That's how Buttons Up Mushroom is doing it. 

I tried it and I'll never know that it is mushroom if it'll be a blind test. 

It is crispy and flavorful. Be sure to grab all you can once the stock is replenished as they are selling like hotcakes.

ButtonsUp Mushroom Crisp (Salted Egg Flavour)

WILL: Abbey lovvvvvvesssss chicharon (fried pork rind) and that is his request to our dad every time someone will visit Singapore. It is unhealthy for anyone to eat that oily skin and porks' fat. 

When crispy mushrooms start to emerge in Philippine Market, Abbey is eager to taste those. BUT! Buttons Up Mushroom is always out of stock, but luckily last June, I managed to order and they arranged a free delivery at our home. We ordered 10packs (Php150 each).

My sister and friends already have tasted some of those and all I can hear is a good feedback. Now, it's our time to check it for our own. Haha. 

One bite and it is taste like pork. No hint of mushroom. This is the healthiest version of chicharon. Actually, it is perfect with rice and vinegar. Need picka-picka for your drinking session? Forget the nuts. This well complements your alcohol. 

Abbey keep on munching of those and ate most of it all. Yep! Abbey is now addicted to it. Haha! 

They have different flavors but their best seller is salted egg :)

Spicy Fingers Singapore Bar and Restaurant at Chijmes

ABBEY: We were invited by our friend Sophia to try what they offer at Spicy Fingers (#B1-05 Chijmes). The bar and restaurant opens from 5PM until 2AM or 4AM on weekends. 

I tried their Lechon Kawali (roasted pork and then fried) and it was superb. The skin is crispy but the inside is soft and tender. Your fork or knife will reach the plate immediately when you cut the pork. It is that soft; like cutting butter with knife. And the taste? It is delicious. It comes with salsa and sweet gravy (like Mang Tomas lechon sauce). You can have it for S$16.00 for 6 succulent cuts. 

I partnered it with mojito for 6SGD Happy Hour Price (5PM-9PM). They have shooters, cocktails and premium ones for 5, 6, 7SGD respectively. 

Unwind and relax with food, drinks and live band at Spicy Finger. As they say : Party like a rock star.

WILL: Do you know that Chijmes is one of the historic places of Singapore and one the most prestigious locations of bars in the year 2009 but due to the renovations done and some areas are closed for public, it slowly slipped out of people's mind. 

But now! Chijmes gradually taking its place to become one of the most visited places in Singapore. They packed its area with alfresco dining and the lawn's event continually magnifying in Social Media. 

We visited one of the newly built restaurant/bar at Chijmes..the Spicy Fingers. It was located at Basement 1 with a great view of the beautiful architecture of Gothic Chapel. They have a huge screen for you to watch your favourite team of football. Not entertained by that? They have band that starts at 9PM. 

Not enticed to visit Spicy Fingers? How about their Crazy Happy Hour that offers your drink? Their happy hour is from 5-9PM and price starts at $5. Oh! Do not forget to order the Lechon Kawali. The crispy skin but juicy and tender meat of a pork. 

Dinner date? They got you covered. They have big bites to offer your lady and a dessert to relinquish your body. I recommend their Baby Back Ribs. :) 

Visit Chijmes. Visit Spicy Fingers. The best place for you to shoosh the stress away.
