Douter Coffee@Marina Bay Financial Centre

Not sure about you, but sometimes I just feel like having lunch alone. And I did that last Thursday at Douter Coffee at Marina Bay Financial Centre.



Douter Coffee is bigger than it looks on the outside. Not crowded before 12noon, so quite a cosy place to lunch alone.



Honey Sugar to go with the ice tea. Nice.



Avocado & Shrimp sandwich. Bread is nicely toasted. Like the mashed eggs in the sandwich. Felt more like a Shrimp & Egg sandwich :P

The wall can dance - watch the video if you don't believe me. This kept me well-entertained throughout lunch :)

 

 

Have a great work week ahead, everyone!

Nam Nam Noodle Bar@Raffles City

Finally tried the Vietnamese cuisine at Nam Nam Noodle Bar last Sunday... XF, GT and I went to the one at Raffles City. I spotted one at Wheelock Place too. Of course it cannot be compared to the authentic cousins in Ho Chi Min City (how time flies - was in Saigon around this time last year). OK price for OK food at a restaurant setting - maybe I didn't order the right stuff like pho ;)

 

Southern rolls. Fresh :) I'm going to try the fried rolls next time!

XF has Diet Coke which cost more than the Vietnamese ice coffee! Gosh! But it came in a nice vintage mug :) So much for packaging. LOL. The ice coffee with condensed milk was good! At $2.50, I say yes to more coffee anytime.



The mousetail noodle soup I ordered. Nice in a weird way - there were fish balls, pork trotter, pork ribs etc in the soup... 

GT's order - dry beef stewed noodle... she said it has shrunk in size...



XF's version - q style egg noodle....

As I blogged, I am reminded of the Vietnamese food stall at Lau Pa Sat and missed the vermicelli with pork slices and fried roll... Cheap and good - $4-5. Definitely going to pop by one day during lunch-time since my office is nearby (10 minutes walk away). Will post a picture if I do go. Do check it out if you are in the area! :)


Au Chocolat@Marina Bay Sands

In between the exhibitions at ArtScience Museum (check out Marina Bay. Marina Bay), we had dinner at Au Chocolat. Wanted to check this place out after the intern bought a piece of pretty tart which was nice! And it was YK's treat, so why not? :P




French food again! Went to Poulet just last week :P



There are two sections to Au Chocolat - the Bistro at the and the sweet confectionery. Both were very pretty and packed with people...

Love the colour combination of menu and table - so chocolate!



Inside the bistro...



Up in the bistro - Fresco!



Truffle oil fries - smell and taste so good....Yummy! Like its presentation too :)



Duck Confit. Crispy and tender at the same time. The pear went well with the duck. Very savoury though, especially at the end of the meal when you run out of mash potato, carrot and pear :P 




House salad - is it Au Chocolat? It's ok. Like the way this picture turned out though :)

We returned later for desert at the confectionery - no pictures though as our phone run out of battery. Not as nice as we thought they will be. Perhaps we ordered too much - the original cheesecake was nice, the mint brownie so so, smoothies were ok :) Here are some pictures we took earlier when we were waiting for our seats at the Bistro - pretty, isn't it? :)

Now I know I can go to Au Chocolat if I need to grab a sweet gift. May you have a sweet week ahead, everyone :)
