Father's Day Celebration at MBS

This year Father's Day celebration was at DB Bistro at Marina Bay Sands. MBS boasts to have some of the World's best chefs.  The list of world renowned chefs includes Daniel Boulud, Justin Quek, Santi Santamaria, Guy Savoy, Tetsuya Wakuda, Mario Batali and Wolfgang Puck. 

That afternoon, we had patroned Chef Daniel Boulud's restaurant. Daniel Boulud is considered America’s leading culinary authorities. Over the last 2 decades, Boulud has brought his contemporary French cuisine to his 5 New York restaurants. In Singapore, he has opened his signature New York restaurant db Bistro Moderne, a modern French-American restaurant with a seasonal menu serving the finest of ingredients in MBS.

The interior design brings you the very classic French influence. As French love to dine with wine and champagne, DB Bistro has a selection of wine from their menu. Wine is French's deepest passion.

Celebrity Chef Daniel Boulud has launched a series of cookery books, which are displayed at the front counter.

The menu in red. They have a simple selection of food menu. Don't be surprised if their wine list is longer than the food. LOL...

Cuppa cappucino for me and a Cafe Au Lait (Latte) for hubby, served with cubes of raw sugar.

The aroma of the coffee beans, reminds me of France. Missing my holiday in Europe!

Appetizer: Nicoise salad, comprising of tuna duo-seared and confit, with potatoes, green beans, quail egg and white anchovies.

Happy Father's Day....

Main Course: Slow Baked Ocean Trout, with speck croquettes, green peas, baby carrot, blue foot mushrooms and lemon hollandaise. The trout was baked to perfection with soft and tender meat. Love the croquettes.

Main course of the day: The pork sausages with sunny side up and fried cubed potato, in maple syrup sauce.

Main course: Yellow Fin Tuna a la Plancha, with corn fricassee, king oyster mushrooms and diable sauce. I guess some of its menu are heavily influenced by French. Pardon me if you might have never come across with the words.

This cubed fried potatoes really reminds me of my stay in Dijon, where we had dined on this dish which was too salty for our liking. But DB Bistro, in MBS served their diced potato which is much much better than in France, guess they modified the taste to local's standard.

Dessert: Hot crepes with chunky berry sauce and cream

Dine in DB Bistro might be pricey, hey but its a fine dining experience in a world's most renowned celebrity chef, with his interesting creation.

Place where I love to be....for crab!

It was Thursday night, hubby and I had developed a sudden crave for crab. We headed down to Geylang for our favourite white pepper crab in NO SIGNBOARD. I might have been raving about crab dishes in NO SIGNBOARD all this while. There are some other restaurants which can whip up equally good crab dish, but only NO SIGNBOARD never fails to satisfy my crave for crab roe, read my lips..."stuffed compact of roe"....is my super LOVE! Who cares about high cholesterol....most importantly, I enjoy the roe as much as I enjoy the whole crabbie dish.



The menu, describe how the chain of NO SIGNBOARD started and how the name of the restaurant derived from. They started 80 years ago in a small eatery without a name for their small humble eatery. Through word of mouth, their white pepper crab had gained popularity, and people started to patron and flocked into their eatery which they named as NO SIGNBOARD.

Much popular signature dish, white pepper crab and chilli crab.

Raw oyster served with chopped scallion and chilli, with lemon wedge and tabasco sauce. Psst psst..the oyster was as big as my palm, even bigger.

Salted egg yolk mantis prawn...love everything with salted egg yolk, with chunks of salted egg being seen...they have salted egg crab too. Equally tasty....GOSH....sinful crab roe, in addition of sinful salted egg yolk dish....double the cholesterol boost!

Signature house made toufu with crab meat.

Stir fried kang kung with belacan and cuttlefish, with plenty of chopped peanut on top.

I love to dine in Geylang, albeit many staring and gawking from middle aged uncles. If you do not know, Geylang used to be a red light district, eerrrr, so girls must avoid this place if you are going alone. However Geylang is very popular with many good hunts for nice delicious cuisine. Their frog porridge, stir fry beef hor fun, soya bean milk with fried dough, and herbal turtle soup, just to name a few.

Finally my long awaited white pepper crab.

Do you see the stuffed roe in the shell. Thats why I am head over heel for their crabbie dish.

I will have all the roe all for myself...heheee

 

Lastly dessert: Ice shaved chendol

Waited for our car....and had I felt so blissed to have my crab with roe once in a while. Thats what I call an enjoyment of life....EAT is always my greatest pleasure!

Regular haunt at Sushi Tei

I am a true blue Japanese cuisine lover. My family dined at Sushi Tei, Raffles City Shopping Centre. The decor of the entrance is classy yet elegant.

We were seated at a special chamber, with cascading curtain surrounded us.

 

 Peeping out from our table.

The starter was the succulent lobster sashimi.

The fresh sweet lobster meat, garnished with some fish roe on top, tastes superb. I refused to dip my lobster sashimi in wasabi, as I prefer to savour every bite of its freshness.

Anyone would love to decorate their fish tank with lobster shell? LOL...

My boy was trying to hold still the lobster's antennas, as its still moving. It proved that the lobster was super fresh.

My main: Minced raw tuna with runny egg on sushi rice. My first time tring the dish. Although I am a big big fan of raw sashimi, but I don't really fancy MINCED raw tuna.

Soft shell crab.

Kids love teriyaki salmon to the max.

Me having hard time to devour my minced raw tuna rice. Its tasteless and bland, luckily we had lobster miso soup, which allowed me to mix my rice with.

Ebi tempura

The waitress brought the remaining lobster shell into kitchen and whipped up super yummy comforting lobster miso soup. Nothing was being wasted. So happy with the soup served. Sweet and tasty.

Bought a few doughnuts from Dunkin, before calling it a day and headed home.
