A small yet famous traditional kopitiam situated in the middle of the stretch of shophouses, right beside Gelare at 11 Upper East road.

Our coffee is specially concocted from Columbian Arabica coffee beans, which are premium coffee beans rich in flavour and body, imported directly from Colombia. The Colombian Arabica coffee beans are blended with Robusta coffee beans from Indonesia to create an alluring aroma and mesmerizing taste. Our coffee beans are then roasted with a special recipe, in traditional Hainanese style.

Our tea is made from specially selected top quality tea dust from Sri Lanka, which we have consistently been using since the humble beginnings of our shop. Of course, good coffee beans and tea dust is not sufficient. It takes skillful brewers to make extraordinary cups of coffee and tea!

Although i don't really know how to appreciate coffee, but by judging the number of old folks coming in just for a small cup of 'kopi' or 'kopi-c', i dare to say that there must be some standard in their coffee, in order to attract all the 'professionals' here.

Came here during lunch time, had Penang Friend Kway Teow and Curry Chicken with bread with Karen, before we started studying in Starbucks.
I preferred Penang style Fried Kway Teow to the normal black Fried Kway Teow.  Penang Fried Kway Teow uses thin and long Kway Teow and it's white colour. I think more eggs are added in too. Normal Fried Kway Teow uses short and thick Kway Teow, black and maybe less egg?

I love the curry chicken they served. The curry is thick enough but still quite watery for you to dip with your bread or 'pei' rice. The chicken meat is totally cooked to a state where the meat will just drop off from the bones once you bite it. Yummy!!

Given the standard of the food, it is worth the money you spend.

A brief introduction about Carnivore first.

The second project from CHIJMES’ dining concept arm, Starworth Pte Ltd, comes in the form of Carnivore, a Brazilian Churrascaria. This restaurant opened its doors on 15 October 2004 , and promises an informal and fun dining-out experience. Located at in the heart of the city at CHIJMES, this is the only Churrascaria restaurant where diners can dine under the stars.

Churrascaria is Portuguese for barbecue. The atmosphere at Carnivore is fun, relaxed, simple and understated . Our knife-welding Passadors (meat waiters) come to your table and slice the meat from large skewers onto your plates. At Carnivore, the meats are marinated and cooked over fire till perfection. Our Brazilian chefs will pamper you with an array of meats – beef, pork, chicken, lamb and fish. A special selection of meats like crocodile, wild boar and ostrich is available during festive seasons.

The second outlet is located at Vivocity. Good view facing the sea and Sentosa. Even better at night with the romantic lighting and music.

Although it is just a dinner, but i think we sure did enjoyed ourselves to the MAX. Especially me!! Wahaha...
It was quite a last min meet up for Jie Hua's belated birthday dinner. We were, initially still deciding between Habour City Restarant(at PSA Builiding) or Carnivore (vivocity) when  Racheal and Jasilyn both have very strong objection towards going to Habour City. So the poor guys( Jie Hua, Soverynn and me) will have to just  follow along.

We went there on 15 Jan, reached around 8PM. Not very crowded. The friendly waiteress walked us to our tables, and explained to us how the GREEN/RED Coaster works. Each customer is given a two-color (red and green), coaster-size chip and you keep it on the table top. The idea is very clever and simple: if you want more meat, flip the green side up, and  if you don't want any more meat,  flip the red side up!

A few passadors (meat waiters) will be walking around the tables with a skewer and knife in hand and offer you a variety of different cuts of beef, chicken, fish, pork, and lamb. You can try all the different cuts of meat as they come around! They are all very friendly. Indeed an excellent place to dine with friends with family. There are around 12 types of meat served here. By the time you finished trying all 12, you are almost there. Oh, try their roasted pineapple. Like what the name suggested, it's roasted. So it will be hot, sweet and sour. Worth trying if you are a pineapple lover.

Try their sauages.
Try the chicken hearts.
Try the lamb.
Try the fish fillet.

Try EVERYTHING!!!!


The appertizers include salad, baby octupus, potato salad, homemade Capsicum Vinaigrette and some others that i cant really remember.

My favorite Chicken Thigh. Common yet succulent



See the Green-Red Coaster-size Chip?
 

All in all, I had my stoamch stuffed up all the way to my throat, and couldn't sleep just because i too full. The next morning, i skipped my breakfast and lunch too.  The meats are still inside my stomach..

Paying a price of $42++ on a weekday night, $45++ on a weekend night, I will have to say that I am totally satisfied with the quality,  variety of choices available, friendly services provided, and the cozy environment. I am very happy with my stomach too as it did not fail to make the money worthwhile.. Wahahahah.. But i think i will go there maybe once or maximum 2 times in a year. Reason being buffet is really bad for health and body. haha..

~abit pricey.

Listening to Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat - Lucky.

and again...

I went to Sushi Tei Vivocity somewhere in October 08. Although i have never try it before, i have quite a high expectation of it, because it is not really that economical compared to Sakae Sushi.

Well, it didn't let me down.

I have to say that the restaurant got an excellent view of Sentosa and a bit of the sea. The interior was quite nicely done up, giving you a very cosy experience. Food was slightly pricy, but still affordable. At least the presentation are good and appertizing.

Every Year just comes and goes. For me, nothing much was done during 2008. Basically, more of studying and gym. Lots of things happened. A mixture of both happy and sad occasions. People come and go. Everything changes, including love. They just fuc*ing change, without any warning.

My mind is now trapped in the past. Really hoping to move on to the present. And see some light in the near future.

I'm listening to 'FM static-Tonight' and 'Haley Bennett - Way Back Into Love'. They can really describe my feelings now.

I'm glad that at least my dad, mum, Joy and some of my good friends are there for me when i needed them badly. Thanks a lot. Love you people.

My 2009 New year Resolutions
1. To get at least 3A's for my this coming exam in May.
2. To achieve gold for IPPT before CNY is over.
    To achieve Gold for IPPT before June.
3. Spend more time with my family members, especially my mum and dad.
4. More self-discipline.
5. Be more patient.
6. Find a way back into love.

One corner shop sitting quietly at Central@Clarke Quay. You never know what they can offer to the ladies(and some guys) out there until you step into the cafe.

Paisley & Cream is a visually-enticing cafe with eye-catching decor and a funky concept. White PVC couch and dining chairs, pink wall and paisley stenciled patterns on the glass walls gives you the feeling that you wouldn't find in any other boring cafe.Antique posters of Lucille Ball and older movie stars are hang on the pink wall, adding to the retro-ness and the funky-ness of the whole cafe.

It offers a wide range of cheesecakes, cupcakes which will only make you go crazy and spoiled of choices. The bright color of the cupcakes will definitely catch your attention and stomach. However, they go easy on your wallet.
