Saint Pierre

Saint Pierre, arguably Singapore's finest French restaurant, has just launched a new brunch menu, featuring the season's best. Located at the balmy Quayside Isle, Saint Pierre is a little slice of nirvana, away from the bustle of town. I can't think of a better place to while away a lazy Sunday afternoon. And, it may surprise you to know that, for a seemingly fancy restaurant, the prices are affordably competitive and ambience is casually breezy. So yes, you can actually walk in bermuda-shorted and sandals-clad. Coupled with the picturesque surrounds, honest-to-goodness food, and exceptional service, this is one hidden gem of a brunch spot.

An off-menu dish, the Smoked Salmon ($18), was a game-changer. I was never a fan of smoked salmon, but the wild Scottish salmon, smoked in-house at Saint Pierre, was sublime. It was impossibly fresh, and cured with just the perfect amount of soot for that salty-sweet balance. The accompanying cream was enlivened with a touch of lemon, and chives. Best smoked salmon I've ever had in my life. Truly a must-try.

The perfectly poached Eggs Benedict ($24), draped in an effervescent champagne hollandaise, and generously layered with glorious ribbons of iberico bellota ham, atop a buttery crusty brioche, was seriously delicious. This took the crown of best eggs benedict from reigning champ Choupinette.

The Poached Eggs with Pulled Braised Duck Leg Confit ($24) with pickled cherry tomatoes and toasted sourdough was another winner. The duck confit was meltingly luscious, made even more sumptuous by the runny egg slobbering all over. The meat-loving Hubs practically inhaled this.

ABC Brickworks Food Centre

싱가포르에 호커 센터 중에서 에이비씨 브릭워케 호커 센터를 우리가 제일 좋아해요. 실제로 싱가포르에서 가장 크고 유명한 호커 센터 중 하나예요. 가끔 외국인 여행자들이 이 호커 센터에서 식사하고 관광도 해요.  호커 음식은 내가 우리 나라 싱가포르에서 제일 사랑하는 것이에요. 호커 푸드는 내 컴포트 푸드여서 내 마음에 들어와요. 음식도 싸고 맛있고 종류도 많아요. 해외여행 가면 그리운 음식이 호커푸드인데 싱가포르에 돌아와서 가장 먼저 먹는 음식이 박초미예요.  박초미은 아마도 내가 제일 좋아하는 호커푸드예요. 나는 식초맛을 좋아하고 버섯볶음이 제일 맛있고 용기가 제일 맛있어요.   =========================   ABC Brickworks is one of the more well-known, and beloved, hawker centres in SG. The fact that tourists can sometimes be seen traipsing down the rows of neon-lit stalls is testament to its fame.  We hit up ABC a couple times a month, at least; the hawker centre is central enough that satisfying a local food craving here doesn't require an hour+-long round trip (unlike with Fengshan Bedok); there's ample enough lots that parking doesn't require the patience of a saint (unlike with Serangoon Gardens); seats are plentiful enough that large groups are able to find a table fairly easily, and ...

Hansang Korean Family Restaurant, Novena Square 2

Image
The third floor of Novena Square 2 has been dubbed "Little Korea" due to the prevalence of Korean-centric shops. There's a Korean supermarket, at least 2 Korean restaurants and a whole bunch of hole-in-the-wall fashion shops selling clothes imported from Korea. We were there one evening and were enticed by the delicious smells wafting from Hansang Korean Family Restaurant . One part of the restaurant is reserved for those having Korean BBQ and the other part is solely for diners not having the Korean BBQ. This separateness is great because you don't walk out smelling of bulgogi. A unique dining feature here is that they actually serve an  Amuse Bouche of sorts. The trio of bite-sized bits heralded the start of a good meal. The toasted Broad Beans were served at room temperature, with a savoury taste to the creamy nutty texture. The  Pumpkin Squash was a sweet, creamy and light mash. The Fried Mini Shrimp was salty, mildly spicy an...

Short Rib Kimchi Stew

En cet Jour Américain de Merci Donnant qui vient de passer, même si on à Singapour ne le célèbre pas, et même si le monde entier est essentiellement une énorme merdier en ce moment, c'est aussi un moment opportun pour exprimer notre gratitude pour tout cela. Il est incontestable que cette année a été extraordinaire. Pour moi, cette année a commencé extraordinairement terrible, mais le travail à la maison était une extraordinaire don du ciel, et maintenant, ça se terminera extraordinairement bien. Et pour laquelle je suis reconnaissante. Après la pluie, le beau temps, c'est vrai. Mais surtout, je suis le plus reconnaissante pour la naissance de Mon Bou, car c'est aussi aujourd'hui son anniversaire. C'est fortuit que pour le jour de l’action de grâce, je rends grâce pour la meilleure chose de ma vie, Mon Mari et mon coeur ❤ #reconnaissante Et sur une note moins profonde et beaucoup et beaucoup plus superficielle, je suis aussi très reconnaissante pour les réductions d...
