Burgers Time @ Kraze Burger



Gal purchased $20 worth of coupon for $10 online for Kraze Burgers, which is located at Marina Bay Sands. Kraze Burger originated from South Korea and it is actually quite popular there.

checking out what's healthy =p

Sinful Chili Cheese Fries. The fries were soggy and the chillies wasn't spicy enough. Think Carl's Junior's Beef Chili Cheese Fries was better?

My burger, Mega Bite. It consist of 2 Beef Patties and 2 slices of cheese added with Kraze’s special Steak sauce. It was nothing to shout about.

Gal's Dory Fish Burger with Bulgogi sauce.
Not to Gal's liking.





We are not someone who is crazy about burgers. Also, we feel like places like Relish was much better.

Valentine's Celebration @ Absinthe



Both gal and I took leave today to celebrate Valentine's Day. We went for a KTV session before heading over to Absinthe for dinner. Absinthe is a French restaurant, and it is actually open by OSO Ristorante Owner, which is beside it.

Been to OSO and loved the food there, we were looking forward to the dishes at Absinthe.

The complimentary bread was nice and fragrant, juz like OSO's!

Sweet, White Wine for Gal and Red Wine for me



The first course of the night, Talaki of Wagyu Beef, Marinated Egg Yolk and Truffle Dressing. The presentation of the dish was just like an art piece! Not only did it look good, it taste great as well!







Seared Hokkaido Scallop and Prawn-Cep Raviole, Mushroom Foam.
The scallop is very fresh and very "Q"!

Pan Fried Foie Gras with Warm Blinis and Marinated Cherries. We love Foie Gras, and this was easily one of the best the we have tried before. It literally melts in your mouth and the seasoning was unique as well, with a tinge of cherry taste.







Gal's main course, Seared John Dory Fillet with Crushed Potatoes, Spinach and Shellfish Hollandaise Sauce. The fillet was crispy on the skin side, while the meat retained its moisture. It was our first time seeing spinach served with dory fillet and hollandaise sauce, and it was delicious!

My Milk-Fed Veal Tenderloin served with Mashed Potato, Green Beans and Morel Sauce. When the dish was first served, it did not look like a tenderloin to me, more like a thick piece of ham perhaps.
 
With the tenderloin cook at medium rare, it was very tender and juicy! It just makes you crave for more!



The last course of the night, Warm Chocolate Fondant, Clementine Creme Brulee and Passion Fruit Blane Mange.





Roses for the Ladies!
This photo was actually taken by the Chef himself!
Honoured! =)

We will definitely be back someday. The service was good, and it has great ambience. Most importantly, it serves great food.
 
When it comes to French Cuisine, most people will think that the portion would be very small and it is expensive, but not at Absinthe. They strive to serve delicious dishes in generous portion at affordable price! =)

A Trip to Marmalade Toast



We were walking in Town when gal suddenly have cravings for coffee and cakes. Gal came across Marmalade Toast from a blog and wanted to try. So here we were having some bites.

One Red Velvet cupcake, a Smoked Salmon Sandwich, a dunno-wat-name tart and a glass of fruit juice.



This was nice.
Ordered this off the shelves, forgot its name.

The Smoked Salmon Sandwich looked plain but it it quite delicious. The bread was toasted to perfection, has a crispy texture but no burnt smell. However, the Red Velvet cupcake was very normal. Maybe we should have go for other more exotic flavors. =p

Since it is related to Marmalade Pantry, food wasn't tat bad. Most importantly, the food is not as expensive too. They serve breakfast too, but only till 11am. Maybe will drop by again if we are within the area and have cravings for wraps or sandwiches.
