The Betterfield Cafe

By -
Due to Claudia's special request to dine at a cafe and have bingsu as dessert after lunch, I picked out a list of cafés near bugis area. And finally we shortlisted to The Betterfield cafe which serves Italian and French fusion cuisine and most importantly, Claudia's favorite dish- pasta

The birthday girl was late, but an exemption is given since she's the biggest for the day. We then made our way to Blk 261 where the quaint cafe is located.


So glad I suggested ordering this truffle fries which tasted fantastic and also the staff guaranteed that it will taste way better than Mcdonalds petroleum tasting truffle fries. We ordered the medium one instead of the large one and I kind of regretted since it tasted so good. Every single fry is coated with truffle oil, and the fragrance of the truffle is subtle and not overpowering. I thereby crown the fries as one of the best truffle fries I had tried before and it also tasted better compared to the other dishes. 


My Prawn Risotto which do not look appetizing at first glance as it kinda resembled puke, but it was sure tasty, with the cheese. However, I was not sure if the tiger prawns are overcooked or not fresh as it tasted really soft and mushy. 


Tadah! Camera eat first! Loving the color combination of the plates and our food! Hahas, Claudia's Furikake, Prawn and Chorizo spaghetti looks like a plate of Mee Goreng, they ran out of chorizo for that day so they gave more prawns instead. Hazel's pulled duck burger which is a little spicy came with charcoal bun while Jenson's French Duck confit is not bad too! 

A plus point for the cafe is that all items are all at nett price and the average price for our dishes is around $20.

 Disclaimer: Claudia is actually doing the peace sign and not pointing middle finger 

After being kinda chased out after lunch as the cafe will closing at 3pm, we went to eat Bingsu which Claudia wanted to try! 

We went to Nunsongyee at Bugis and ordered Claudia's favorite Strawberry and also their traditional and classic patbingsu




A not so nice shot due to the lighting but who cares 


Bingsu milk pouring ceremony for Hazel and Claudia as they have never tried bingsu before.

Verdict for the two bingsus, TOO MUCH RED BEANS.
It was expected that the patbingsu to have red beans, but we did not expect that there are also a huge bunch of red beans inside the premium strawberry bingsu. On a side note, the milk made the bingsu taste better but it will be nicer without the red beans.

Korea day 5

By -

Time passes so fast when you are enjoying yourself. It is the fifth day in Korea. As usual, we packed up and left the resort in the morning to eat breakfast at the place we had our dinner the day before. I had quite a phobia that they will serve the fake "codfish" soup again as it does not taste nice at all. Luckily, the menu was beef stew soup but we do not eat beef so the soup was substituted with pork tonkatsu which is made with seafood. It does not taste appetising at all and I did not eat much as I am not used to eating rice for breakfast. I also hate having to eat mayonnaise with rice. It just tastes so...wierd...   After breakfast, we left for Everland. It opens at 9.30am but we reached there at about 10plus. We took a shuttle bus into the amusement park and took both group and solo photos at the entrance. Following that, we left to tour the park. At it was snowing that morning, many rides were closed so we sort of wasted our time there and took pictures instead. ...

Literally rolled out of bed early for this Maki-San X FoodPanda event held at 112 Katong Maki-San's third outlet. Many thanks to Mich again for jio-ing me to this event since Paul could not make it  I've tried Maki-San once at their first Cathay outlet and I really enjoyed it and looked forward to rolling my own Makis at this event.  These days the trend is all about customization and insta-worthy food. Maki-San simply fulfill our need for novelty by allowing us to customize our very own makis with the toppings we like. Brown rice option is also available for the health conscious.  Really love the pretty and colorful packaging, which won several awards.  Even my friend brought home the boxes after eating > < Being early, we were the first to arrive at the event. We were given each a nice foodpanda apron to wear so that we will not dirty our clothes.    Mich is like a panda after suffering from insomnia last night ...

Mean Bean & Wicked Grind

After sending cousin off at Goldenmile for her coach to Kuala Lumpur, we decided to go check out Mean Bean & Wicked Grind cafe which is nearby, at The Plaza. From Goldenmile tower, The Plaza is straight up and around 10 minutes walk away. It is also just opposite Haji Lane which is quite accessible for us to go Bugis as we planned to watch a movie after checking out the cafe.  Upon reaching The Plaza, we were a little unsure if we were at the right place as it does not seem like where cafes normally should be. The reviews were accurate, this cafe is quite hard to find > <  All the stores there were mostly furniture stores or travel agencies, hence, we decided to check with the information desk. Much to our surprise, the counter staff knew almost immediately where we wanted to go and gave us directions that it is straight up inside. HOW ULU!  We finally found the cafe! It is quite a small cafe with only two tables inside and a few outside. But the deco...
