For my bday this year, she decided to take me to this place that was referred by a colleague of hers. When I had a look at the website, the first impression I got was, um, modern fusion Singaporean?? Anyway we were willing to give it a go.
We arrived there around 10 mins late (because we were trying to find the address b4 we started the car!), the waiter seemed to be pretty polite and helpful. Since the restaurant was way too dark, we didn't take alot of pictures of the room - we even needed to use a torch to read the menu!
We ordered two dishes - one congee and one chilli crab (the chilli crab needed to be preordered one day before).
Drunken Chicken Congee
When the congee arrived, we looked at each other - um, the bowl so "big"!! On a cold, wet winter night, we would expect something a little bigger. The taste was quite unique, as I have never tried the combination with congee and alcohol - it had a strong taste of Chinese wine in the dish.
Chilli Crab
The dish we came all the way for. The display of the dish was very nice, however it looked like the crab was still alive! We LOVE the sauce, we even order some rice just to have it with the sauce!:)
I wonder how this dish would compare with the true, authentic ones in Singapore. Can't wait!!

Since we only had two tiny dishes for dinner, we obviously still had room for dessert. Winnie said she wouldn't mind going to the Lindt cafe at the Cockle Bay Wharf since she had never been there before. When we arrived @ the Lindt cafe, the cafe was closed at 7pm on a Wednesday night! We were naturally disappointed. Since we didn't have anywhere to go, we went the the closest cafe we could think of - the Blackbird Cafe.
The both desserts were pretty nice, but of course not as nice as the Lindt ones!! :)
