I have always wanted to try out this almost new restaurant along Bukit Timah Road since it was opened sometime back.

Unfortunately, i never had the chance to do so because my other hard-to-please half or rather, my cheena husband doesn't quite like places that is so chi chi or in another word, places that are pretentious (where you get scan from head to toe) unless it's my birthday, Christmas etc.. until 2 days back.

Whaddaya know, i love the place!

Great service, comfortable surroundings and not to mention, affordable prices.. Definitely the kinda place where you'll go with your gfs to chit chat and lounge the whole lazy afternoon away.. ;)

My bestie and i were seated on the second level, next to a book shelf. We spent almost 2 hours there.. savouring the yummy desserts mostly and yaking away.

Food wise, i would say OK. Bestie had seafood platter with lobster sauce. Basically, it's poached prawns, scallops and sliced fishes on mashed potato with lobster sauce. Pretty good i'd say but i think grilling instead of poaching would be so much more delicious!

I, on the other hand, had gourmet beef burger with cheese. It came with spinach salad and fries. Perhaps it was because i asked for medium well (preggy me), the beef was a tad too tough and dry for my liking. But then, a gf who has dined there before also told me the same thing. The burger wasn't something that she would rave about. So, next time if you were to go, i'll say.. skip the burger, mate'!

Both of us shared a dessert sampler for 1 which was more than enough to serve for 2 people! It was such a pretty sight! 5 little desserts arranged tastifully on a square see-thru plate.

Nice.

Definitely the highlight of the day =)

Too bad we didn't bring any camera with us that day. Speaking of camera, it's really about time to get one for myself!

Will i go back again? You betcha! *wink*
