Mother Earth Take-out Lunch

As the NIE canteen is closed, we had to look for alternative lunch venues. Lucky us, our friend went to Mother Earth Vegetarian restaurant for lunch and helped a bunch of us to buy back take-out lunch bento! 
Even if you are not a vegetarian, I would recommend Mother Earth vegetarian restaurant. The price is reasonable and the portion is large. I had a hard time trying to finish everything in my lunch bento! Most importantly, the food is really tasty! Love ourselves and our bodies once in a while by having the healthier option of vegetarian food. :) 

Mahota Commune

I was at Mahota Kitchen for a farewell dinner for a visiting professor on Tuesday evening. It is a pretty cool place, consisting of Kitchen, Pantry, Market and Life to make up Mahota Commune. The food looks and tastes great and is also healthy which is a very rare combination. The market sells organic and natural produce and products which will be a hit with my mother! :) 

Free Range Rosemary Pork Collar with roasted potato and mushrooms and grilled pineapple. Absolutely delicious!

Yantra

It is my first time having a meal at Yantra, a trendy and chic fine dining Northen Indian cuisine restaurant at Tanglin Mall. Although Tanglin Mall is my neighbourhood mall, I have never been to Yantra until today. All thanks to the hosting of lunch for a visiting professor. :)
The buffet selection was quite good and there were some non-spicy dishes which suit me fine. I think I will bring my parents and my girls here for a meal. 

End of an Old-School Icon - Shashlik Restaurant

I read in the newspaper that Shashlik Restaurant is closing at the end of the year back in July. I remember frequenting the restaurant during my younger days. It is sad to see it go. 
We finally took time today to have lunch at Shashlik Restaurant before it closes on 30 November 2015. We ordered the appetizers: Escargots in garlic butter and Stuffed Mushrooms with Smetana and desserts: Peach Melba and Cherry Jubilee to share. We ordered our own soup and main course.

The dessert, Cherry Jubilee was the highlight of our lunch. Absolutely delicious! Wanted Baked Alaska but it is only for dinner. :( 
Farewell, Shashlik Restaurant. I will miss you. 

"Medieval" Food Experience

I have always been intrigued by the lone red knight that is stationed on the first floor of Vivocity. Finally, I have a chance to find out more about it - by having dinner at The King Louis Grill and Bar. :) 
The King Louis Grill and Bar is Singapore's one and only castle themed restaurant serving medieval cuisine with man-sized armoured knights placed around the restaurant.
The girls ordered from the Kids' Meal: Marieann and her Princess Grace Tomato Spaghetti ($10.50) and Juliane and her Castle Omelette ($9.50). We also ordered The Knight Lancelot (meat & seafood) ($79.90): marinated boneless chicken leg with onion sauce, grilled porkloin with mushroom sauce , oven baked king prawns with cheese, fish fillet in garlic cream sauce and sauteed green mussels with tomato sauce and came with vegetables and salad. I liked the chicken which is tender and juicy as well as the prawns and the fish fillet. The porkloin, however, was quite tough which was a pity.

Other than its unusual theme, The King Louis has also been voted by parents for the past two years as one of the best family restaurants. :) Families with children, please feel free to visit this restaurant.
