The Reading Room

The Reading Room

Another nice find – after going for a stroll around Tiong Bahru, we stumbled upon a nice reading-room-turn-cafe, along Bukit Pasoh Road.

It was a nice setting, and as we tucked into our Sunday Brunch and Tea, we grabbed a book or two to read away and enjoy the peaceful setting that it is.

Food quality was good, although the service was a bit slow. But overall it was a nice experience in a different but relaxing environment.

Sunday Italian Brunch at the Mandarin Oriental

26 January 2014 Food, Marina Bay No comments

When I was here in 2011, a work colleague I was working with really took me in under his wing, and looked after me pretty well. We had arranged a nice Sunday brunch to meet-up with my colleague, his wife and my mum and I – and he suggested to visit Dolce Vita – a nice Italian restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental.

This was not like any other Sunday Brunch, which are usually arranged as a food buffet – this one, they show you the menu, and then provide table service with a selection of every item on the menu. An interesting approach to the Sunday Brunch. So basically, whilst it is 3 courses in total, you actually gave several mini-courses with all of the dishes on the Appetizers and Main Course menu. The dessert was the only one that you had to get up for it.

A very delightful meal – and of course accompanied by Champagne 🙂 The cost was actually not bad at all – at S$158++ per person. An example of the menu can be found here…

Bank Bar and Bistro – Sunday Lunch

4 June 2013 Food, Marina Bay No comments

A venue that has been praised highly on the Sunday Roast visit list, is Bank Bar and Bistro – so I thought I’d give it a go.

The only issue with this place, is that it is in Asia Square near to Raffles Place MRT, and the Marina Bay Financial Centre (you can see where this is going). Namely, that it feels too close to work, and makes me feel I am in the wrong area for a Sunday – but alas, I still wanted to give it a go 🙂

It’s a nice venue, very spacious, and easy to get too, but environment around the place is very quiet though (as we really are in the new Financial Centre of Singapore. The only thing that helps is Lau Pa Sat food court is opposite, so there are still “some” people around. A few expats Brits visited during the lunch, but it was not that busy.

It was a pretty nice roast, served quickly and of course accompanied by my usual Guinness. I would visit again, but as I said, the issue is that it just feels too close to work to repeatedly come back!
