Food: Southwest Tavern

Southwest Tavern is a cowboy themed inspired by American diner that specialises in some awesome Spam Chips & wester favourite sausages & fries. It is known for their popular Beer Butt Chicken - a roast chicken stuffed with a beer of cans and other seasonings making the chicken infused with so much flavours yet still juicy.

You can choose from a range of 28 beers from around the world as well as various cocktails and wines. 

This place was totally a surprise spot for me when one day I was suddenly ambushed by friends ending up tasting some best wine here at Southwest Tavern. Just look at their onion rings layered perfectly on a plate with mayo at the centre, just done perfectly crispy. They also have the SPAM chips - my all favourite canned goods fried until almost like a potato chips but still flavourfully done. Of course we had some sausages too that comes in variants, truly such a great pair for beers or any cocktails. To end up the night, we had a bottle of Moscato D'Asti given by a generous friend that totally completed our appetite that day.

Food: Da Paolo Pizza Bar

Which is your favourite Italian Restaurant for pizza? I know many will have different opinions for it, let's say some will vote for Bella Pizza in Robertson Quay or some would even wonder if they have tried one so far. Well, another discovery of good food I have tried recommended by a good friend to an authentic Italian restaurant located at Chip Bee Gardens near Holland Village MRT. 

That is Da Paolo PIZZA BAR. Yes they have thr best pizza, pasta and dessert you have to try. They offer super al fresco dining option perfect for lunch and dinner options. It has a very extensive pizza menu when it comes to Italian style pizza in Singapore. The prices will not be that decent but you will definitely not go wrong for thei pasta and pasta, worth the money you'll pay for.

Dean & DeLuca Singapore

So I finally made it to try the ever so overrated and talked about Dean & DeLuca located in Orchard Central Singapore with my friend Tracy to end up our heavy dinner at Gerry's Grill. We had no choice but to try their popular Belgian Waffle, Red Velvet Cake and Marble Chocolate Shake.

After reading so much good reviews of this food haven and as well with those negative customer service feedback, I will just focus this blog post on my personal first time experience here at D&D. Knowing the best food & drink to try, their Marble Chocolate Shake never failed my expectation as it taste like heavenly chocolatey yummy. Their Cafe Latte was nothing to special at all.

The Red Velvet Cake was so far the best I've tried. Not so sweet, but it's indeed moist and that distinct taste that makes you wanna finish the cake slice in 60 seconds. The Belgian Waffle was also perfectly executed in terms of it's taste and presentation. But the waffles was too hard and the ingredients seemed not to be freshly made. But in total, I still appreciated the place perfect for hanging out with friends or simply having a treat for yourself after a week of stressful job esp here in Singapore. Will definitely come back here to try their rainbow cake cake and gigantic pancakes with mixed berries.

One of the most popular Indonesian dish to try will be Ayam Penyet and there's no other way to have the original taste of its one-of-a-kind cuisine by trying it out at Depot Ayam Penyet located in Bintan Island, Indonesia. It's always a good way to know the cultural background of the country of your visit by trying out their local food gastronomical dishes.

I did not search for its food history so I'm just describing it on how it tasted. So if you'll gonna visit Indonesia one of these days, this is one food list you shouldn't miss out. 

Urban Food Asian & International Restaurant

I have noticed that for the last two months, my entries were mainly focused too much with my recent trip in Dubai. I realised the need to make a way in having my food & fashion blog post as well. So here you guys hungry tummy, let me share one of the best restaurant in Phuket Thailand where I celebrated my 25th last January.

Urban Food as they say is the bistro you cannot say no to! This place has a nice venue in the shopping centre with very clean & well presented ambience. And I should say prices are like half of what you might see in the resort hotels. We had the Thai fried rice, fish & chips & pasta as well. All the items we ordered tasted so well in including its serving portion. The staff are also helpful & customer service oriented. What I love about this restaurant was their free salad bar where they offered varieties of salad menu ingredients you can choose from.

You can also have wide selections of f rest smoothies & milkshakes with the price ranging from 90B to 100B only. I wanted to give this place 4/5 & would definitely still go again here to once again experience the beautiful flavours of Urban Food.
