love the collection of pretty papers here! it's a fantastic place to gather ideas whenever an occasion that calls for some hand-made cards arises. i find the membership card rewards rather hard to get though... i mean, i need to buy ALOT from the shop before i can get that small percentage of discount. and with a 1 yr expiry, it's hard to see myself buying so much materials from there to be able to redeem anything at all. that aside, it's still an excellent place to visit whenever u need to buy some fancy paper!
Went to this outlet at Jln Bukit Merah after reading of their foie gras from ieat. It is indeed as delicious as reviewed! wads more you can get a further discount off the already affordable $15 when you quote that u read of the eatery from ieat's blog. at $12, the foie gras is as good as can get!
tried their other food like smoked duck pizza, mixed grill and some sausage, but they were all average. it is also evident that there are many skeptics of this sprouting of restaurant-food in coffeeshop. an auntie (rather irritatingly, might i add) came to ask how much we paid for the foie gras, and repeatedly commented on how the really small portion can't fill the stomach. i was a tad put off by her uninvited comments, to which my friend rather wittily replied with, "auntie, bao4 yu2 ye shi chi bu bao ah!" (auntie, abalone also can't fill your stomach in mandarin)
the foie gras is worth a try, because the combi with mango and raisins is indeed delighting to the taste buds. that aside, don't expect too much from the rest on the menu. prices are okay, slightly higher than ur typical coffeeshop western food, but certainly much lower than what you will pay in restaurants. (mixed grill - $12, pizza - $6, if i nv rmb wrongly)
Had my first taste of this much raved about Indonesian restaurant a few days back, and I was won over. Not the best spice-eater around, so I couldn't go for the HOT dishes, but the mildly spicy ones were really delicious anyways. In fact, all the dishes I've tasted (a good 4-5 of them) had really distinct flavours to them, you know the chilli isn't the only star ingredient they have.
Prices are on the mid-high side, not too sure about the details since it was a treat. A decent place worth checking out, and a presentable cuisine to bring ur friends from other countries on visit to.
yummyyy! tried their tomato soup with focaccia bread the last time round, and i was truly happy with wad my taste buds were greeted with! the soup is thick with taste of real tomato, without too much additional flavouring to spoil the naturally good taste. the bread surprised me too. while it looked just like some normal garlic bread or sort, it's really delicious and went well with the soup.
tried their mushroom and cheese crepe today. at $4.50 i'd say it's rather pricey. lotsa cheese tho, and as usual it wasn't disappointing. but somehow, this time round, sth seems to be missing. i can't quite put my finger to it, but maybe it's cos it tasted a tad dry? -shrugs-
had this when i was in batam too, it's approx 30-40cents cheaper than sg per donut, if i nv remember wrongly. so it was really a good buy!
it's soft to the bite but still had a very slightly crispy crust so it tasted fresh and skillfully done. the amount of cream they had was not too little either, just nice to let you enjoy ur jco donut down to the very last bite.
i've heard that some flavours are a tad too sweet, though the ones i've tried are all acceptable to me (im not a fan of sugar!). perhaps it'd all be perfect when coupled with an aromatic cuppa coffee (:
