I love Food… Who doesn’t?

Nectarie

I love desserts. I love the way they are decorated, presented. I love those that look so sweet, but taste juz nice. A nice cup of tea/coffee will be a great complement.

The Nectarie is at the midst of popular nightspot, Clark Quay. For those who wan to indulge in the nightlife but not the booze, Nectarie is the place. The waffle is gd. I can’t help but say it’s better than my all time fav from gelare. Oops…

waffle with lavender honey ice cream
Waffle with lavender honey ice cream – waffle is very gd(yum yum).. lavender honey ice cream is 1 of their house specialty. I love places with unique recipes. Can’t wait to try other flavours. As for this ice cream, it really taste like lavender(my fren actually felt like he is eating lavender soup.. hahaha) with a tinge of honey. Unfortunately, these 2 gd stuff dun really blend tgt. How nice if it do.
strawberry shortcake
Strawberry shortcake – U will love it except for the base. I tink the base didn’t really contribute much to the cake(kinda pity it). I wish they could find sth to merge it with the overall cake to contribute to the taste. Else it’s a waste of ingredients.
choc dome
Milk Amaretto Chocolate Gateaux(aka choc dome) – The disappointment for the day. I think it wld be better the outer layer choc is harden instead of being a softy. Maybe it’s hard to do ba. The mousse can be better wif more cocoa or another tinge of liquor.
berry tea
Berry Tea – the only drink i like ba. Their coffee wasn’t really gd. The carrot juice was ok.
So i wld recommend trying their flavoured tea. :)

Say Cheezecake

August 28, 2007 · Leave a Comment

no.. i’m not goin to tok abt their cheesecake. One of the latest outlets in GWC, i find the decor of the place pretty swanky. They haf a open kitchen concepts and cozy round sofa seats. But the specialty abt dis restaurant is not their decor or cheesecakes. It’s their unique recipe items. And i love that they offer set dinners at quite affordable prices(btw 18.80+ to less than 30) Each set consists of a drink, starter and main. You get to savour a taste of their unique dishes like wacky rambutan or Coffee-Flavoured Baby Pork Ribs at affordable range. :)

But for the dishes, i feel that presentation outshine more than the taste. The unique and quirky dishes are a plus, but i guess taste matter a lot too. Seems to be lacking of sth. Oh well, i’m not exactly the foodie expert, so shall leave it to u guys to decide.
coffee ribs
Coffee-Flavoured Baby Pork Ribs – there’s coffee taste, ribs r quite ok, not exactly tender.

tomato bisque
Tomato bisque(or was it cheesey tomato bisque) – decent
seafood basket
Seafood basket(forgotten the exact name) – i like the cheesestick but still prefer swissbake 1.
