Sentosa Boardwalk and King Louis Grill & Bar

*Warning*  This post will be filled with massive of pictures. Read only if you don't mind seeing me and my friends' faces. lols.

Finally meet up with my polymates after a few months. Having an outing with them never fail to make me feels happy and LOTS of pictures will be taken. The most vain bunch of girls I have. Wait, probably just Wu Xiao Yan. wahahaha!  As Starbucks was having a 1-for-1 promotion for Salted Caramel Mocha, the girls bought from Singapore Poly and delivered it all the way to Vivocity for me. If you are wondering why can't we just buy it at Vivocity, its because I was supposed to meet them at SP but was late so I ended up meeting them at Vivo instead. Thanks girls! <3

As Jing Yu was late as well, the rest of us waited for her at Sentosa boardwalk, enjoying the breeze and camwhore.

Forgot to mention that the Salted Caramel Mocha taste really nice!

Xiao Yan, Yin Mei and Boon Kee

So loving~~

Saranghae~ <3

Feels like I'm at overseas

A small Xiao Yan in my camera screen

Here it is, Xiao Yan's model pose. haha

Camera war with Boon Kee

A hard time squeezing to fit in the camera screen because of  my short hand

See the difference? Yin Mei's the one holding the cam btw.

I love this picture, it makes my legs look longer. 

So Xiao Yan and Boon Kee did the same thing with the desire to get the same results. LOLS

Congratulations, you have survived through the photo spamming. Now its time for food! We had our dinner at King Louis Grill & Bar. It is Singapore's one and only castle themed restaurant serving medieval cuisine. You can even see man-sized armored knights standing charmingly at each corner of the restaurant.

There are promotions for the main courses during the weekdays. 

Calamari

Taste average only.

This dish consists of dory fish, prawns, potatoes and salad. Taste average too. I like how the cheese is covered on the prawns like a blanket. cheesy~

BBQ Chicken Pullet

Oven Roasted Chicken served with mesclun and straight cut fries. 

We love this dish the most! The strong BBQ sauce really matches well with the chicken meat. As I took the drumstick, the meat was really tender. The sauce even goes well with the fries. Can't get enough of it.

We ordered a pasta to share as we didn't want all our maincourse to be too "meaty". It is chilli pasta with pieces of chicken and mushroom. I think it taste pretty good as they used the kind of chillli paste that is layered on top of grilled stingray where you get at hawker centres. However, it was way too spicy for us. Even Xiao Yan, the chilli eater said its too spicy. Boon Kee was worse, she just ate a few sticks of pasta and never touch it again. Only Jing yu could take the spiciness. Kudos to her.

Our group picture.

Total bill was around $66. Quite cheap due to the promotion and we managed to try quite a few dishes. Love the never-ending conversation with the girls! =)

Resident Evil:Retribution Race and Pique Nique @ Takashimaya

Last weekend, I was at Orchard Road with Yin Mei. Our main aim was to see the Resident Evil: Retribution Race event where participants would run away from zombies along Orchard Road and those who manage to reach the finishing line "alive" will get to win attractive prizes. We actually wanted to participate but the registration was full! =(

We kept looking around searching for zombies and people running. To our disappointment, the event wasn't very happening. Probably we missed out the exciting part. We did manage to catch a glimpse of a group of zombies. Their makeups were not that scary as we've imagined. 

Got this from my friend's facebook

Not scary at all right? We were expecting zombies like the walking dead. lols.

Ok, I know thats impossible. The show took a few hours of makeup to get this result. It will not be realistic to do the same for the event. But I think the "zombies" should at least be professional by behaving like one and not just chatting while walking.

Had our dinner at Pique Nique, Takashimaya.

Clean and simple

They don't only just serve all-day breakfast, but burgers, pastas and steaks as well. 

Petit Mac & Cheese - $7.80 

Elbow macaronibaked in Pique Nique's cheese sauce with Swiss Gruyere, parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

It was extremely cheesy!!! Taste great when pipping hot. Will get too cheesy to handle after finishing half of it.

Farmer's Omelette - $12.80

Made with 3 eggs, sauteed onions, beacon, sausage, potatoes and mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, served with white toast and side salad.

Taste okay for me. Generous amount of fillings was wrapped in the omelette and it tasted alittle bit salty.

Norwegian Benedict - $14.00

2 poached eggs with toasted english muffin, smoked salmon, sour cream, served with side salad. 

 Didn't get to try this so I can't tell you how it taste. I'll let you judge based on the picture.

our romantic dinner. haha

*They have one outlet at Jcube too!

As we didn't want to go home that early, we went to TCC for desserts.

Puffy Triplets 

Three profiteroles with rich chocolate ice-cream atop a fine almond-espresso financier.

 The financier was abit too strong with the coffee/espresso taste. Other than that, IT'S HEAVENLY!!! I can finish 20 of it. hahaha.

Crimson Duet

An enchanting duet of rose and strawberries.

A very refreshing drink due to the sour taste of the strawberry but we didn't taste any rose in it.

Chocolate of Wealth

Rich chocolate frappe brimming with crunchy chocolate chips.

This drink taste okay. At least the chocolate did not make me felt sick of it or too sweet to handle even till the last sip.

Once we step into working life, we begin to realize the importance of weekends. Though I have not officially step into the working society, I can't imagine myself working like a machine everyday. 

Leo's Birthday Celebration Part 2: Charlie Brown Cafe

Had another birthday celebration for Leo because Xiu Xuan couldn't make it for the previous one. The woe of having common friends. You'll have to attend more than one birthday celebration for the same person with different cliques of friends. So I've researched a few restaurants and Xiu Xuan chose this, Charlie Brown Cafe. I wonder whose birthday are we celebrating. lols.

If you haven't notice it, it is located at 313@somerset. Just use the exit beside Marche and you'll be able to see the cafe. Unfortunately, the cafe has no air-con since it is located outdoor but still not too bad as there are fans on the ceiling. 

One thing good about this cafe, NO SERVICE CHARGE!

Nice cartoon on the wall but thanks to my shaky hands, the picture is so blur.

Cute snoopy at the entrance

 Cartoon characters on the ceiling at well.

Also, different cartoon characters on each and every tables.

Fish & Chips - $13.80

Crispy fried fish fillet, served with tartar sauce, fries and fresh greens.

This taste like the normal fish & chips. Nothing special.

Crispy Fish Sandwich - $14.80

Golden fried with cream cheese, tartar sauce, tomatoes and crisp lettuce between foccacia, served with fries.

The bread was not bad, crispy and soft at the same time. However, the fish was disappointing. It wasn't as crispy as its name implies. The fish fillet is like those frozen fillets that you buy from supermarket. I prefer the fish&chip to this.

Hawaiian Pizza - $12.80

Juicy turkey ham and chunky pineapple on a tomato base, topped with mozzarella.

The pizza taste okay only, not as tasty as Pizzahut's one in my opinion. Most importantly, there was too little pineapple chunks!

While eating, suddenly there was water splashing over to our table from no where. Not till the extent of making us wet but like droplets of rain. We were like wtf. I looked around searching for the source of the water and realized the water came from the building beside us which was having construction work. 

Leo immediately asked the waiter over and demanded for the pizza to be changed to a new one. Fyi, we only ate one slice of the pizza and can't possibly eat the rest as we don't know how dirty the water was. Luckily the waiter agreed to do so and said that it was the first time such thing happened. See how lucky we were~. 

Snoopy's Chocolate - $9.80

Chocolates flakes wrapped in crepe served with a scoop of ice-cream.

After changing our seats, Xiu Xuan and I insisted to order a dessert to share. Look at the snoopy face on the crepe, so cute!! This was probably my favourite dish among all not because the it tasted exceptionally good, just that the rest were kind of disappointing. lols. At least I like the ice-cream, there was alot of cookies in it!

Xiu Xuan and I

With the birthday boy

Overall i think the cafe is just average. Nothing impressive unless you are a fan of theme cafe or you are looking for some affordable cafes at Orchard.

It was a little bit spoil mood for Xiu Xuan and I because there we were so happily celebrating his birthday for him, he kept emo about his work.We ended up chilling at the park near his house for a drink as he wanted to drink and drown his sorrows. But I was more moody because I've got eight mosquito bites on my legs! Damn it.

The 22 year old whisky

Ok, one thing good about drinking at Leo's house downstairs rather than some pubs as its free of charge! lols. The bottle was already a 12 years old one when Leo bought it in 2003 and kept it for another 10 years. So I supposed that makes it a 22 year old. Tried a small sip without mixer and it was fierce. One sip down and I could feel my throat burning. That's totally a different burning sensation from what I've tried in the past. Even Leo can't take it. So this is really some good stuff! 

But of course we didn't finish it because Xiu Xuan didn't want to drink much and it would be too wasteful as we are just blind drinkers. Meaning got alcohol just drink, how many years old don't matter to us. LOLS! I believe alot of people are in the same category as us lor! Shall leave it to those who can truly appreciate it. Anyway, alcohol plus the pizza we took away from Charlie Brown Cafe, makes it an awesome supper!
