Brussels Sprouts Again

The girls have been pestering us to go back to Brussels Sprouts because they really like the magic show lol. We decided to go back today. First, we went to Plaza Singapura to get some groceries from Carrefour before heading down to Brussels Sprouts for lunch.

The girls ordered Fish Bites with Fries and Salad ($9) which came with free flow of soft drink and a scoop of ice cream.



I had the Duck Confit with Kriek Beer and Griottes Cherries ($30). The duck was full of flavour and the meat just comes off the bone most easily. The duck confit was also pan fried until the skin was crisp and when paired with the cherries, it was marvellous. :) For dessert, I had Forest Fruit Crumble with Balsamic Scented Pear, Fruit Compote and Cinnamon Ice Cream ($12). The dessert was rather ordinary but the cinnamon ice cream was rather different.



The girls' father ordered Pasta Coquillage: Creamy Seafood ($24). The cream sauce was really nice. For dessert, he had Banana Crêpe with Butterscotch and Vanilla Ice Cream ($ 10) which was quite ordinary.



After our desserts, we were entertained by the magician, Jack. He remembered us from our last visit. He showed the girls some tricks which didn't fail to drop their jaws and bring out huge grins on their faces and on mine lol. :)

Brussels Sprouts, The Pier @ Robertson

Today we had lunch at a new venue, Robertson Quay.
Brussels Sprouts looks like a welcoming place so we decided to have lunch there.

The girls both had Pasta Pink Sauce ($9) which came with soft drink and ice cream. The pasta sauce was tomato cream sauce which was pretty yummy. :) As we adults had the main courses, the girls ate for free. :)



I had the Bouillabaisse ($16) served with grilled pieces of bread and rouille. The fish stew which had fish, prawn, mussel and clam, was really tasty and rich as it was flavoured with a variety of herbs and spices. The bread dipped in rouille (a mayonnaise made of olive oil, saffron, cayenne pepper) was also delicious. For the main, I had Parma Ham Wrapped Chicken Thigh served with Garlic Butter and Rosemary Potatoes ($28). The chicken wrapped in the ham was most delicious. :) The chicken was moist and juicy and the ham gave it extra flavour.



The girls' father had the Soup of the Day: Onion Soup ($9) and the Homemade Pork Sausages served with Daily Stoemp ($26). He said the taste was not too bad.



We didn't order the dessert as we were pretty full. In the midst of our dining, we had entertainment by the in-house magician right at our table. The girls were really thrilled by the magic acts. They said they wanted to come back again. I think more for the magic show than for the food lol. :P But I think I will come back again, I want to try their dessert. :P
