Wine Connections Bar and Bistro, Singapore

I have been to Robertson Quay numerous times but never to this restaurant.  I was intrigued by the place as it was always crowded.  So one afternoon, when it was quiet, we had a venture in the restaurant side to have a taste.

That was my Chicken and Egg sandwich.

And that was my hubby’s Chorizo Alfredo.

The ambience was typical bistro style with a small deli inside.  The food I wasn’t very convinced.  The pasta was simple but tasty.  My sandwich had quite an interesting taste, except for the burnt lettuce.  A ‘cook’ would know not to put lettuce when you intend to grill you sandwich, wouldn’t you?  The service was also a let down.  The waiter offered the lunch package, even after I reminded him that it was already 2.30pm and their board said until 2.00pm, then he came back to let me know that my order would be A La Carte.  Of course I knew that already, then we had to follow-up on our espresso and tea.

I guess all the hype must be to do with the cheap wine specials available.  Remember, you don’t have to cook wine.

PS. Cafe, Dempsey Hill, Singapore

This is a very popular cafe, especially with the younger metrosexuals, with various branches around the island.

I don’t know if it’s just me or are there mixed reviews about the place.

The alfresco dining at Dempsey Hill is a better option from the noisy and crowded indoor dining.  The service is friendly and the lady who served me at the front was very helpful.

As I walked through to go to my table outside I was overwhelmed with the strong truffle smell that filled the dining area.  Don’t get me wrong, I love truffles, but not when it suffocates you.

And that was my caesar salad.  It was quite simple for the price it came with.  I’ve been here before and yes, it does come with that alluring, crowded mystic so common with other highly reviewed places here in Singapore, but it failed to deliver once again.  The food is simple and typical cafe options but pricier.

Worth a visit with our best girlfriends or on a new date.  Good luck.

Quan An Ngon, Saigon, Vietnam

A beautiful Vietnamese restaurant with great food and excellent service.

This restaurant was top of the list from the Executive Chef at the InterContinental Hotel.  The place was wonderfully designed, the food was authentic Vietnamese and the service was great.  We had Pho Bo (of course) but was quite disappointed with the fresh spring rolls – which was very dry and really hard to eat.

Overall this was an experience not to be missed!

Welcome all.  This is a plain Jane’s comment page about some observations on food, cafes, restaurants, wine, service, etc.  I am no expert and do not with to.  I love food and trying out new places where there is food to be had and just want to share my thoughts.
