Mister Donut

Looking for a nice place to have your tea time? You may try Mister Donut. Btw, it's also good having these donuts at home together with your family members.

Mister Donut offers unique shape of donuts that look different with regular donuts.

They claimed that Mister Donut is the number one donut in Japan. Is it true? I also have no idea :p

After seeing all of the donuts variants, we decided to try Angel French and Pink Fashion donuts. The donuts' name sound fancy, right? 


Angel French IDR8.000

Angel French is a French Cruller donut is filled with angel cream. The taste is yummy.
 

Pink Fashion IDR8.000

Pink Fashion is an Old Fashion donut that is quite crunchy. This donut is not bad either.

Although these donuts are a bit sweet for us, but overall the taste are nice.


Iced Cappucino IDR22.000

For the drink, we tried Iced Cappuccino.

Will I go there again? Yes and I will try another variant of donuts.

Pecori An

Wondering to try having lunch and dinner at Pecori An? Maybe this review can help you to decide.

Located at ChinaTown Point, Pecori An is a Japanese restaurant that offers quite a lot of range of Japanese dishes.

We tried Beef Hamburg set and Unatama Eel & Gee Set. Each set comes with soup, free rice refill and as many side dishes as you want. This set sounds promising right? But....don't be happy too fast..

After we ordered, we directly went to the booth to take soup, rice and side dishes. Surprisingly, that booth had empty soup and only had left over side dishes. Even the rice was almost finished. Below is the picture. You can judge by yourself. 



We directly asked the waitress to add the soup and the side dishes for us. She said ok but until we finished the main dishes, they didn't add the soup and side dishes.

For the food taste, Unatama Eel and Gee set was tasty. It was like home cooked and best to eat when it was still hot.

Beef Hamburg set was so-so. I prefer Unatama Eel and Gee set than Beef Hamburg.

Although Unatama Eel and Gee was tasty, but we were really disappointed with their service. Maybe it wasn't our lucky day. One thing for sure, I will blacklist this restaurant from my food list.

Will I go there again? No.


Beef Hamburg Set S$12.80

Unatama Eel and Gee Set S$14.80

Saveur

Today I will review about a famous French restaurant in Singapore named Saveur.

Saveur is a brainchild of two young and enterprising friends that served quality French cuisine with affordable price.

As requested by my teammate to have her farewell lunch at Saveur, we decided to go to Saveur`s Purvis branch.

Over there, we ordered 3 lunch courses set. Each set (S$22.90++) consists of one entrée (Mushroom Soup, Saveur`s Pasta or Garden Salad), one Main (Duck Confit, Chicken Roulade, Pork Belly or Seabass) and one Dessert (Pistachio Panna Cotta or Crème Brulee).
 

Chicken Roulade

Chicken Roulade is a Chicken thigh stuffed with foie gras-infused chicken farce, creamy Basmati Rice and Parmesan sauce. This Chicken Roulade is very delicious. Chicken is tender, creamy Basmati Rice is also nice.
 

Duck Confit

Duck Confit consists of duck with Mashed Potato, Saute Shitake with Parsley and Garlic, Orange segments and orange infused natural juice. This duck is amazingly crunchy. This is one of the most popular dish at Saveur.
 

Saveur`s Pasta

Saveur's Pasta is a pasta that comes with Chilli Oil, finely chopped Konbu, Minced Pork Sauce, Chives and Sakura Ebi. Saveur`s Pasta taste is delicious. It remains me of Indonesian noodle taste.
 

Pistachio Panna Cotta

Pistachio Panna Cotta is a Pistachio flavoured cooked cream with ground and caramelized Pistachio. It's a decent dessert to try.
 

Crème Brulee

Crème Brulee is also not bad. It's not too sweet. I like it.

Overall we were happily having our lunch in here. It's really worth to try the 3 lunch courses promo.

FYI, This 3 lunch courses promo are available from Monday - Friday from 12:00 PM - 02:30 PM at Purvis branch. One more thing to take a note, you should make a reservation first prior coming to the restaurant.

Will I go there again? Yes.

Dapur Jawa

Today I will share with you about one mall in Jakarta. I have frequently gone there during my childhood time whenever I went to my grandma's house. The name of this mall is Golden Trully Mall. Amazingly, until now this mall is still managed to survive.

During my last trip to Jakarta, me and my girlfriend went to Golden Trully Mall again after more than 20years I never went back to this place. Woah very long time, right? It's because my grandma had moved to other place, so I didn't go to that mall again.

After exploring and at the same time trying my best to recall my memory about Golden Trully Mall, we were having lunch at Dapur Jawa


Dapur Jawa is an Indonesian traditional cuisine restaurant. We ordered Gurame Saos Mangga (Gourami Fish with Mango Sauce), Sayur Asem, Rice and Wedang Jahe.

Gurame Saos Mangga IDR63.000


Gurame Saus Mangga is a fried Gourami fish fillet with Mango sauce. The mango that they use hasn't ripe yet. The fish is fresh. Combination between Mango sauce and Gourami fish are superb. This dish is beyond our expectation.
 

Sayur Asem IDR10.000 and Sambel IDR7.000

Sayur asem is a traditional Indonesian dish that consists of Peanuts, Melinjo, Long Beans, Chayote and Corn cooked in tamarind based soup. Dapur Jawa version of Sayur Asem is tasty.
 

Wedang Jahe IDR12.000
 
Wedang Jahe is also a traditional Indonesian beverage that consists of Ginger and Palm Sugar / Granulated Cane Sugar. This beverage will make your body warm.

Overall, we enjoy having lunch at Dapur Jawa

Will I go there again? Yes.

sQue

Recently I was very busy at the office that I needed to come on Saturday to finish up my works. To pamper myself after finishing the works, I purposely looked for a nice late lunch meal near Clarke Quay area.

After looking around, I decided to have lunch at sQue. sQue (pronounced as skew) is a restaurant that have highlights of extensive choices of bottled beers from all over the world. They are proudly claimed that they currently have more than 200 different international beers.

Although this restaurant is famous on their beers collections, it's not the reason why I choose this place and sorry I don't try the beers so I will not review it :p.

I choose sQue because of many good reviews from other food bloggers.

Because of curiosity, I order Half Spring Chicken with honey mustard mashed potatoes.

Spring Chicken contains of Roasted Chicken, Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes (honey mustard or black pepper).

This spring chicken is tasty. It's marinated well with the sauce. This chicken is quite big and it will make you full. So if you come alone, it's better to choose half chicken.

Brussels sprouts is fresh and crunchy. Honey Mustard Mashed Potatoes is also not bad.

Will I go there again? Yes.

Half Spring Chicken S$13.95
