Picotin @ 100 Turf Club Road S(287992)

This is a high class breakfast that we have eaten so far. We spent about $60+ on breakfast.hahaha.. Hmm..ok its brunch to be exact. =) How much can we eat with this amount at the hawker centre.
Anyway, its for the experience. Its really a nice place to hang out and chill. =)

See the pictures...

Appetizer: Bread..nice nice nice..soft bread with nice butter..satisfaction..

Some arrowhead salad, forget what's this dish actually...Just leaves and the usual cheese topping. Nothing special

Rognons de veau `a l’ancienne
Veal kidney, mushrooms, tagliatelle pasta, whole grain mustard sauce
($26)

Oh this dish, if you hate the 'blood' taste of liver, you better don't order this. I like and accept the taste of pig's liver. But I can find difficulty finishing this dish cos the 'blood' taste and flavour is too overpowering. However, their pasta is nice and I ordered a 2nd portion. =))

BASHKIR
Yoghurt, grilled tandoori chicken, onions, coriander, mozzarella
($19)
This pizza is very special, a tinge of Indian style. The yoghurt makes the pizza very appetizing. The chicken is also well marinated and very tender. This dish is flavourful.

Here come the desserts..

Tarte Normande, glace rhum raisin
Apple tart with rum raisin ice cream ($11)

Overall verdict: I will visit again if i feel rich or if i have strong cravings for nice pizza.. Anyway, there are actually quite a number of special dishes which I wanted to try.

Take it slowly then...

OrganiCafeXperience @ Orchard Building #01-02 S(239693)

** Latest update on this restaurant - Orchard Branch seems to have closed down.. Do call to check if you are going to check out this restaurant.

We passed by this restaurant a many times and finally we stopped by one day to take a look at the menu. There are quite alot of varieties of food to choose from. Pictures are also very attractive. So we decided to give it a try. =))

We ordered a side dish appetizer. My favourite, bbq beef meatball with ginger BBQ sauce ($6.90). The sauce is sweet and sour and bbq-ish. Nice! Not too sweet, not too salty. The meatball itself is a little hard and dry. I think they are toasted or deep fried to have a crispy coating before they are fried-coated with the sauce. Don't expect to get those IKEA bouncy and juicy type.

One of the mains we ordered is this fish dish. 'Panfried Cod Fillet with organic honey pineapple chutney, accompanied b Japanese curry sauce ($16.90). Hmm...the first impression is 'wah..very funky tasting'. The curry is not really very japanese style. Hmm..really hard to describe and i can say that such taste are quite rare and special. Can give it a try if you like special taste. =))

The other is Wholemeal Noodle served with coriander pesto, topped with chicken breast ($11.90). The sauce is a little creamy and light. Hmm..taste rather healthy.

Oh haha...my favourite dessert..Apple crumble with Ice-cream ($8.90), especially those type very crumbly type.. =))

I will come back here again to try other stuff. Not very expensive place to eat at. The chinese manager can be quite 'loud-voiced' and rude sounding, but i think he is trying to be friendly (in his own ways) and trying to give us more info on the restaurant.

Quite a number of dishes are quite special and interesting. There is discount with CHINA BANK credit card.

Riders Cafe @ 51 Fairway Drive

The ambience for this place is very serene and out of the city. You can smell the nature and you may even smell the horses..haha.. You are sure get to see horses and ponies galloping around in the training area. Really a rare scene in Singapore.

Training ground for the horses

Homes for the horses...


Part of the menu, to find out more about the restaurant, perhaps you can clip onto http://www.riderscafe.sg/

Here goes the food...

Starter: bread with olive oil dip - soft, healthy multigrain & sesame breadwith. Olive oil dip is not too overpowering, with pleasant 'basil' aroma.

Appetizer: buffalo Wings - It comes with different level of spiciness. The sauce is more of those

sweet and sour and spicy type rather than those very bbq sauce

type, if you get what I mean. =) The complementing white sauce is

not exactly tartar tasting, but is lighter.

Appetizer: Calamari Rings -

They are the breadcrumbs type. Well,its not too oily and you will probably sustain and finish up the dish with your dining partner without wastage. Sauce is similar to the one above.

Main Course: Cod with potato beneath -

Fish is just ok, but the potato beneath is very tasty. The sauce is a little sweet and sour, thus this dish can be very appetizing.. =)

This meal cost around $50 for 2 persons..

Our verdict:

This is a good place, with very close to the nature ambience, to laze during a lazy afternoon. Drinking their mocha and tea, sampling their appetizers, which are apparently more worthy to spend on. =)
