Verdict
My partner got a $100 Etro Bistro cash voucher for just $57 from click2bid.com. We (with his brother and girlfriend) decided to head there for his in advance birthday celebration. The place was pretty quiet that night, guess it was a normal weekday night. We ordered a steak (black angus rib eye), a duck leg (with poached apples) and a slow cooked chicken with Shiraz to share. The food were all cooked close to perfection. We enjoyed the food and the ambience, and not to mention the service. The waiter was very friendly to us while taking order and serving. He lit a candle on the tart we ordered as a birthday cake for my partner and sang birthday song in French. That was fun. I would definitely go back again for special occasion.

Verdict
A great breakfast on Saturday morning is a must to end a hectic week. Big Mug is just located few blocks away from my place and I have never got a chance to try it. Today, my friend and I decided to give it a go. I ordered myself a croissant with ham & cheese and a flat white. My friend had eggs florentine. I love the flat white. Big Mug is a pleasant place to spend your weekend morning. I will be back for the coffee and the ambience.

Price: $10 -15 pp

Verdict
My partner and I walked down Hay Street from the East today to look for lunch. When we were about walking in a korean restaurant, this Carmen's cafe caught my attention. This cafe is fairy new and we decided to give it a try. We ordered a Mee Goreng and a Singaporean Noodle to share. The serving portion was quite big and they were not stingy on the ingredients at all (lots of chickens and prawns). The food tasted quite good and not so oily, suited my liking.

Price: < $15 pp

Verdict
The food was just so-so to my liking but my partner loved the teriyaki beef pretty much. The sushi (two pieces) in the bento did not come with any wasabi (usually with a small squeeze of wasabi in all the Japanese restaurants I have been to). Additional $0.50 was charged on the request and we were not informed till the bill came.

Verdict
My partner and I went to this restaurant for dinner with two friends on Saturday night. This restaurant was quite quiet, there were only a few tables occupied. We ordered some dishes (lemon chicken, curry veggie and crispy fish with lemon grass) to go with white rice. Overall the foods were alright but the portion was a bit too small for us. Since the restaurant is only walking distance from where I am staying, I would probably consider another visit if I'm not cooking.

Verdict
It was a Sunday noon, the restaurant was packed with people. I was so excited to see Vietnamese coffee on the menu as the coffee would be served with traditional Vietnamese coffee glass (slow drip filter). Without a second thought, I ordered the coffee. Despite being packed with customers, the foods were served very fast. I had a beef noodle, the beef was so fresh and the soup was so tasty! I loved the coffee too. My friends had a Vietnamese chicken rice and a combination noodle soup. They were pleased with their foods too. I will visit this restaurant again when I feel like eating hot beef noodle soup!

Verdict
There were no Malaysians at sight when we walked in the restaurant, neither customers nor workers. My friends and I first thought the food was not going to be good. The waiting staff was so friendly to give us some recommendations and promoted the 'today's specials' to us. Four of us ordered two special entrees (chicken skewers, lemon fish and chickpeas cake - not sure if I got the names exactly) to share and two dishes (Kapitan chicken curry and Portuguese baked fish) to go with some garlic roti (flat bread) and nasi kunyit (yellow rice). All of us were very happy with the food. I loved the special entree very much. We would visit again and try other dishes on the menu!
