Mr Punch Restaurant & Winebar

ABBEY: Three days before the occasion, I started to worry where to held our Hearts' Day dinner. As I searched the net, an ad caught my attention about a museum of toys. I visited the site then voila, they are offering a special 6-course meal for Valentines.

The place is located in Seah Street; 5 minute-walk from Esplanade MRT Station (Exit F). The restaurant is at the basement, museum on the middle floors, and wine bar at rooftop.

Our meal started from a cabbage rolled shrimp topped with caviar.
Next is soup chowder then California maki.

Our main course is chicken roulade with mashed potato and came our heart-shaped pizza topped with salmon, mayo dressing and dashi flakes.

The dessert is white chocolate with glazed dark chocolate along with strawberry rose.

The staff were very welcoming. Food is delicious. Their promotion includes a free 1-year museum membership, 2 tickets, bookmark and vouchers.

The experience is great and we hope to come back to see the toy exhibit.

















WILL: Until now I hold on my belief, I still do not believe on Valentine's day. Abbey accepted that and I respect his beliefs in return. He wants to dine out. Okay lah! 

After my office hour, we headed to Esplanade MRT station then walked our way to Mint's museum restaurant. 
      
Abbey proudly says to me that this is a 6-course meal with affordable cost and a lots of freebies in to it. Hehe. 
Every serving amaze me, as in all of it. What I love most? The appetizer. The siew mai-like food. 
      
The place is pretty nice but its too small, the diners are just beside the kitchen so after this evening, we went home with all the scents of food on our clothing. 

The service is quite slow but it can be suffice by the smiles and good gestures of the Mr. Punch people. We will go back here, but we will try their rooftop location.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - Beanstro

ABBEY: I came from office and I was so hungry. As we wait for the opening of the musical we dined at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Beanstro in Marina Bay Shoppes. People flocked at the place but it only took a couple of minutes to have a seat. I got their recommended Beanstro breakfast platter from the All-day breakfast menu and costs no more than 15sgd. All the components of the platter complement well with each other; grilled tomato, sausage, bread and ample serving of scrambled egg. The meal satisfied my hunger. I hope they can serve the meals faster as well as the bill.






WILL: Before going to my most awaited play, Wicked, we went here for some early dinner. This is located just beside the ocular's eye. They have this like an al fresco dining. And on that side you can enjoy the site of some splashing water and the people riding the sampan.
      There is always a queue, a long queue and very lucky of us we are number is just number 3. So 15-20 mins were the approximated time for us to be have a place to dine in.
      Their Breakfast-All-Day is a great idea! We really love this!

Bak Kwa

ABBEY:
I tasted the BBQ meat during my first year in Singapore. It was given to me by Ate Loide. It tasted great though the one I got is spicy.

Wilma's employer gave a half kilo of bak kwa to all the staff for Chinese New Year celebration. This time it is sweet.
Cooking is easy; fry or use microwave, cut into smaller pieces then serve on top of rice.



WILL: 
Thanks Boss! Its Chinese new year and all goodies and red packets were all over. Hehe.

      Bak kwa is in Chinese tradition. Every year they gave their close people this meat to linger on. This is Singapore's staple food every Chinese new year!
      So, thank you Boss for the Bak kwa, so goood! Huat Ah!
