Tanjong Beach Club

Tanjong Beach Club (or TBC) is warm, bright and cheery. 

Perfect for a restaurant on the beach to be honest. I really like the shades of blue, the stripes and the happy smiles all around. Singaporeans are a minority here but that shouldnt stop you from having brunch here. 

Had the eggs ben with bacon, which was decently done but nothing fantastic.

I would recommend the pancakes or the big breakfast (it comes with avocado and that is always a win in my books). 

I believe theres a min spending for booking of the poolside day beds. If you do chill there, do order the truffle fries and crab dip.

Seoul Yummy

One of the good things about working near Clark Quay is the many many great lunch deals around the area. Seoul Yummy offers lunch sets from $9.99, this spicy chicken soup with 6(!) side dishes was a great deal. Although I think the BBQ place a few doors down probably offers better tasting soup.

Coastal Settlement

<p>

Old school to the max, my mum was gushing about all her "childhood relics" on display. 

Coastal Settlement is one of those places that illustrates how Singaporeans will go to great lengths to eat good food. Located in a mother-ulu part of changi village, do drive or cab there.

I appreciate the ode to our past and it was a fun place to eat at

Couldnt resist ordering the truffle fries, the truffle flavor was disappointingly absent though. 

The salad came in a cute cannister for tossing but so tiny portion wise.

Thankfully, the rest of the other dishes were pretty good.

The bangers and mash featuring some delightfully creamy mash

Thick chunky fries and a huge juicy burger that hits the spot

Always a good dish for sharing. Thin crispy pizzas.

The must-order dish would have to be the portobello fries, esp if your a fan of mushrooms. Umami-ness  of the thick portobello together with tangy mayo is just delicious.

Lots Gourmet Stop

My favorite place for brunch in the east. We have tons of cool bars but next to nothing when it comes to brunch places. So it was a delight to discover Lots Gourmet Stop, and so near my house too!

Located rather inauspiciously opposite Changi prison, Lots is a  cute, unpretentious cafe with a decent menu (but no deserts though!). It also stocks quite a few unique beers so do try them.

Admittedly we were a bit thrown off by the texture of the scrambled eggs but they tasted pretty good. 

The big breakfast which comes with your choice of eggs, pancakes, bacon, tomato and baked beans.

I would recommend the eggs ben. Love the crusty bread paired with perfect runny eggs and salty salmon

Kith Cafe

Now I have been to both ( Park mall and Robertson Quay) and I very much prefer the one at Park Mall. Probably because I went to Robertson Quay for brunch and it was blazing hot. 

I like having brunch at Kith. Its unpretentious and straight-forward. 

Refreshing from the usual slew of hipster or atas places.

Hummerstons

Hummerstons was the new kid on the block at the beginning of this year, much talked about (ala the current Skyve bistro). 

The italian job poutine ($13) - beef + bacon ragout with mushrooms onions and cheese

Gooey cheesy goodness, it was very satisfying to pick up a cheese + tomato soaked fry and popping it into your mouth. Though I felt that there should be options for a bigger portion because this dish is really meant for sharing in a group

 The Seafood stew ($36). Very happy with the fat scallop but honestly the dish was kinda one-note to me with the nuances of the seafood lost in the tomato sauce.

The Hummerstons burger ($26), huge and topped with bacon, mushrooms, tomato etc. The best thing about the burger was the bread. Very unique flaky chewy texture, def addictive. I would recommend sharing the burger though cos that thing's huge.

I came back again with some friends and had a tried a few other dishes on the menu. In my opinion the best dish Lamb Ribs so do go for that. Overall though the food is pretty average and for the price, I might be happier at one of the many restaurants at robertson quay.

Service is great though, very friendly and helpful staff. We came during Valentine's day and every girl was given a rose and every guy a cookie. How cute!

Mortons' Steak house

For Christmas 2011, Edwin wanted a nice steak dinner, so what better place to go then to Morton's right?

Now this place is traditionally American, so portions are huge. 

Apologize in advance for the poorer quality of the pictures, place was dark!

Onion loaf the size of my face. Had to resist stuffing myself with too much bread

We opted for the surf and turf meal (its not on the menu but request for it and they will present it to you on a small card). I thought it was pretty value-for-money, I cant eat a huge chunk of meat anyway. 

First course was the caesar salad, a mountain of iceberg and what looks like a normal main-course portion. Once again, had to resist filling up my stomach #firstworldpains

Salad was alright but I guess nobody really gives a damm about the quality of the salad at Morton's

Whats red meat without some red wine. 

Edwin had the bacon wrapped scallops with the fillet. Scallops were plump and juicy though the accompanying jam paste was a bit redundant. Dont think much needs to be said about the meat, we all know that Morton's standard is up there. 

I opted for the crabcake. And damm was it good. Fresh and sweet chunks of crab held with very little flour (or the 'cake' component).  I would come back here just for the crabcakes alone

But since this is a post about Morton's, let me just throw in a picture of the steak closeup.

Btw, I could only finish about 1/3 of it, we had to pack quite a bit back.

The meal came with other sides as well - we had the spinach + mushrooms and the sliced potatoes. Both were decent. 

Morton's was a lovely experience and I think one that everyone should have. Yes its not cheap but good quality food + service has a price.
