Morten's Steak

Mention steak to any fan and most likely they will say Morten's Steak. Recently I decided to give it a try after padding my bank account with extra cash (Let's just say you need lots of padding). The place was pretty dim and we had to take a seat at the bar for our seats (even after reservations). But I did not have to wait long before I was ushered to my seat. The service was really good, they really make you feel good that you are going to spend a bomb.

A huge onion bread was placed infront of me. The smell really made me hungry. Upon taking the first bite, I was blown away. It has been some time since I have eaten a bread of such taste and texture. The waiter had to warn me to stop as the mains were the steak afterall. The waiter will come with a tray to display the different cuts of beef and sides they were serving. You decide the cut you want and order sides as it does not come with it. (Please share, the beef steak is HUGE)

We ordered Wild Mushroom and sliced potatoes. There were done perfectly, so good that I can come here just for the sides. The beef was really big and thick; with blood oozing with every cut I made. If was done beautifully, the beef melts with a slight tinge of the roasting. Once you tasted this, you really dont know how to go back to other beef. (I still like Angus at Takashimaya, but it is a whole different experience)

Dessert was the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. A dessert which you cannot go wrong with. Need I even describe the heavenly experience everytime one tries it.

Enough said, just go try!

Pump it up

I went to the Pump Room for dinner and drinks. Thought the lighting made this photo really nice. Food was not too bad, beers were interesting. Overall nice place to chill. Happy hour prices are pretty good too.

Just spending some time with her, it could be at some remote island for all I care.

Melts in your mouth, not in your hand

A really thoughtful friend sms me abut the elusive dark choc m&m (thanks for the heads up). If not for some stuff I had to do (more like meeting my friend for a round of Wii), I would have flown to NTUC.

*tears streaming* A kind heroine delivered the dark choc m&m to me directly. I must say I am disappointed. You only get a tinge of the bitterness at the end of the m&m. Its either tailored to the general public or the sugar coating is not doing justice to the dark chocolate. Who takes their time to savour m&m? You don't do such things....you just pop in and chew - like how cookie monster eats the cookies.

Anyway, a big thanks to the m&m heroine. It is truly appreciated. Maybe things are turning around. The past few days has been nothing but good for me (other than studies). Let's hope I can finally start studying.

Where to find

I saw this in a magazine and I almost went ballistic. Infact, I was so excited I had to tell people abt it. I have to get my hands on it. I kept my eyes open for the past 2 days but can't seem to find them.

Where are u my little coloured bitter chocolate friends......

Johor

Went to johor with 2 old friends, gab and tiong. The latter drove us to Jusco to have a look at the shopping center. Quite a good place to hang out, but don't have the mood to shop. So just went to eat Baskin Robbins.

We went over to this really remote area to have seafood - Orang Asli Villiage. Food was cheap, place was old school. Really great place to chill with beer and just bum.

Some photos I took with my phone....




My personal favourite...

Snacks on Stick

I associate food on sticks as snacks, quick bites when quality does not really matter. Think Old chang kee. A quick motion - bite, pull and dump the stick. I thought not much can be done to the small strip of food.

Boy was I wrong when I stepped into Kazu at Cuppage. I was warned to make a reservation, but I did not have the number and thought I went pretty early to avoid the crowd. The waitress informed me that I had an hour as I was sitting at a table reserved for someone else. With that in mind and the fact that yakitori had to be done only when the order is made, I decided to just go with the set and whale sashimi.

Some lettuce with some lemon and a sesame based sauce cleared my stomach for the meal. The sashimi was very fresh, melts in your mouth and burned a hole in my pocket. $6 bucks a peice. The yakitori rocks. Cooked to perfection. I would love to order from the menu if I had more time to slowly choose.

And the company was great too. (*wink* Got add points for that?)

Will definately be back for more.

Pu Tien

I had dinner with my family at Pu Tien last weekend. It has been a long time since I last went. As I walked down the familiar street from the MRT station, I realised they opened a seafood branch too. Actually I thought they shifted and upgraded as the place looks like a restuarant in Town.

I arrived and was AMAZED by the crowd. I know it was crowded last time, but the crowd was insane when I arrived. There were probably 4-5 groups waiting for seats. I was also shocked that they have renovated, the place looks highend. Alittle pretentious for my liking. I was a little worried the food standard will drop, but my worries were quashed when I tasted my favourite tofu. The other dishes were still as good as ever.

I still like this place, but it has gotten too crowded. Makes walking in for a meal more difficult.
