Au Chocolat Bistro & Patesserie @MBS

Late lunch at Au Chocolat after our Gardens by the Bay visit. My friend was crazy about this place and had visited thrice in a short time span. It is actually a huge place with a Bistro for sit down diners, a Patesserie, a Confectionery and a Cafe for coffee n desserts. They sell lotsa choco products and souvenirs too.

The patesserie and their yummy looking desserts.. 

Tarts and buns

Calamansi tart...my freind's fave.

Blueberry and earl grey macaron

Our food and drink..we ordered truffle fries and mushroom bites to share..both were delish. My huge serving of choco drink was rich n chocolaty...i like! I had the Roast half chicken which tasted alright. My friend's Beef stew was good and the Egg benedict tasted weird with the choco hollandaise sauce.

Frozen hot chocolate...yum yum!

Mushroom bites in wine sauce...nice!

Truffle fries...nice!

Roast half chicken...not bad.

And last but not least dessert time...i picked the pink Rose and Lychee macaron. My friends ordered the Chocolate tart and Cookies n cream brownie. My macaron is too sweet and I didn't finish it....the lychee cream was nice though I did managed to eat all the cream. My friend's choc tart has a weird cinnamon taste and she didn't like it. No complains about the Cookies n cream brownie though..

My dessert choice..

Rose n lychee macaron 

The not so chocolaty Choco tart

Cookies n cream brownie 

The total bill came up to be $50 per pax...reasonable pricing for a western restaurant like this. Service is good and responsive. Will come back again to try other stuffs..

Tonkichi @Tampines Mall

Tonkichi is a japanese restaurant chain owned by Pokka (now known as Sapporo Lion). It specializes in Pork Katsu dishes...many choices of premium pork cutlets to choose from. For today's dinner I ordered a Rosu Katsu set that consists of crispy pork loin cutlet, rice and miso soup. I also ordered the Horenso Goma Ae appetizer to go with my set meal. One good thing about Tonkichi is their ice water, green tea, raw cabbage and fruit are complimentary items.

The fragrant Goma condiment to go with the pork katsu...

Appetizer Horenso Goma Ae...spinach with sesame sauce...nice.

The Rosu Katsu set...the pork is tender on the inside and crispy on the outside...yum yum.

Service is quite prompt and friendly here...I will be back!

Tung Lok Signatures @Vivo

Mayday is here and we are celebrating birthday with May babies....the birthday girl wants to eat good chinese cuisine, so after consulting my fellow sistas...we came up with two options - Imperial Treasures & Tung Lok Signatures. Both serves good quality chinese/cantonese cuisine at slightly pocket unfriendly price. 俗话说一分钱一分货...this is really very true! Birthday girl's choice is Tung Lok Signatures and we had a great time catching up over good food!

The menu..

We ordered the Signatures Seafood Set at $218++ for 4 pax (经典海鲜餐) plus an ala carte plate of Crispy pork belly 冰烧三层肉 $10.

凉拌黄瓜

The pork belly is very nicely done....3/4 lean meat with 1/4 fat and crispy skin...I like!

冰烧三层肉

The Braised Fish Maw with Crab Meat in Pumpkin Stock has generous chunks of crab meat and soft n slippery fish maw...coupled with the natural sweetness of the pumpkin soup base...it is very tasty!

黄焖蟹肉鱼鳔羹

Vinegar & Pepper  

The 2nd dish is the best dish of the night...in my opinion. The Deep-fried Conpoy with Salted Egg-yolk served with Lettuce has a crispy fried batter coated with flavorful salted egg yolk paste. Inside contains a huge  single piece of fresh and juicy scallop. The scallop is very fresh and the taste blends well with the salted egg crust...thumbs up!

Next we have the Smoked Duck Breast with Soya Beancurd...the duck is tender and slightly salty, blends quite well with the rather bland tofu pieces. Must eat both together..

The 4th dish is the Steamed ‘Soon Hock’ with Taiwan Black Bean Sauce, fish is fresh and tender and the sauce is done just right...nice.

壶底阴豉蒸顺壳鱼

5th dish is the refreshing Poached Seasonal Vegetables with Conpoy Crisps and mushrooms. The waitress told us that the 小白菜 is poached in chicken stock and topped with crispy scallop bits. This dish is pretty good too.

The last main dish is the Baked Rice with Seafood Served on Lotus Leaf...I didn't expect it to have a chunk of melted cheese as topping. Luckily it is not too much and can be easily removed so I can still enjoy the fragrant fried rice. There are generous bits of fresh prawns and crab meat in the rice...a great dish as well.

荷香海鲜焗饭

Last but not least...dessert time..Chilled Dessert with Dried Apricot. A nice and light sweet soup to wash down the yummy meal...slurp.

The total bill came out to be $69 per pax...money well spent :)
