Boyutei

In the month of September, we visited Boyutei, where we were turned away in late August as it was full house in August. They do not accept reservations. Boyutie combines modernity and tradition in a new space housed stylishly within a shophouse at Ann Siang Hill. There is just something about this Japanese’s cafĂ©, which transports one to be in another world with its calm atmosphere.
We had the hi-tea set which came with 2 pots of tea. 
I had the sancha tea
I added on a matcha latte - it was so good
Hi tea set offering the savory and sweet dishes - very delicious and nicely presented
The savoury bites include Unagi Toast that serves grilled eel slices with egg omelette, Japanese cucumber and seaweed on top of an open faced toast; Ebi Katsu with a dollop of homemade chilli sauce; and Somen with Sakura Ebi combines well with al dente noodles with a tossing of baby shrimp.
The Narazuke Cream Cheese in Monaka holds whipped cream cheese in a small boat of light-as-air wafer. The Olive Financier is a pillowy soft cake fragranced with black olives .The Bocconcini with Moromi Miso comes on a stick presenting two perfect bites of mozzarella cheeseballs, finished off with a smudging of house-made miso paste.
For a sweet finish, these desserts were just so pretty to the eyes and delicious to the lips. 

The Hojicha Financier balances the earthiness of hojicha tea in a moist cake with sweet icing sugar. The Sticky Date is a sweet rich pudding off-set with the tartness of raspberry powder. 
The Tiramisu is simply unique with matcha flavored and handmade Matcha Warabi Mochi. TheGoma Nama Chocolate is a rich chocolate nugget coated with a layer of nutty black sesame.


We also had the Ebi Katsu Sando which has deep fried ebi prawns on brioche thick toast with tartar sauce, tomatoes, cabbage and a homemade chilli drizzle.
There are certainly many more dishes to try at Boyutei. It has certainly been an enjoyable experience.

Le Faubourgh

It was the month of October where both of us managed to take a day off to rest, although we were both hounded by messages by our clients. This was also one of the rare moments of a week day lunch for both of us. Here we are at Le Faubourgh located at Mess Hall in Sentosa. I download a special promo for the lunch set which was half the price. 
Crepes for lunch. I always love crepes, hence personally this was a satisfying lunch as I had not had crepes for ages.
I chose the crepe with smoked salmon, smoked salmon, spinach and cheese
Anthony had the crepe with ham, mushroom, onions and cheese
Coconut, dark chocolate and coconut ice-cream waffles for Anthony
For desserts, I had the crepe with apple tatin, salted caramel and cream fraiche 
Le Faubourg is certainly a lovely French restaurant with good food and a place to chill away.

Tung Lok Peking Duck

One of my favourite places has to be Tung Lok Peking Duck located at Orchard Central. For mum's birthday in August, I brought her to this place upon her request. We have had many birthday celebration meals at this place. 
Family Time - always so precious for us
