MERRY CHRISTMAS!

25 Dec '13




Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock,
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing in bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell,
jingle bell,
jingle bell rock,
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time
it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse
pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling beat

That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle bell
jingle bell
jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time
it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse
pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling beat
That's the jingle bell,
that's the jingle bell,
that's the jingle bell rock!
 


This year Christmas pictures are from Pand'or. A cake shop in Wijaya Street filled with Christmas cakes and decorations. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do while I was there!


Ah! And Merry Christmas to all of you! Hope you have a great Christmas! God Bless You! :)

JJ Royal Brasserie

21 Nov '13



Got here around 2pm, and they have Lunch Set Menu on weekdays from 12pm-3pm. They have 2 options, Starter & Main Course for 99k++ or Starter, Main Course, Dessert & JJ Royal Coffee for 120k++, we chose the latter. We also ordered their Sweet Potato Gratin.

Sweet Potato Gratin - 40k
The sweet potato was roughly mashed, and I think there's some kind of fruit mixed in there. A little bit too sweet for my liking, because the sweet potato was already sweet enough plus the marshmellow.

Cappuccino
Mochachinno
For the appetizer we chose Crunchy Tiger Prawns and Tender Chicken Fingers.

Crunchy Tiger Prawns (w/ sweet chili yoghurt sauce)


Tender Chicken Fingers (w/ honey mustard mayonnaise)

The Crispy Tiger Prawns was really good, crunchy prawns with crispy and tasty batter. While the Tender Chicken Fingers was just ok, not bad but not that special either.

English Fish & Chips (deep fried battered fresh cod, pommes frites, tartar sauce)
The Fish&Chips was okay, crispy batter and soft cod.

Nasi Goreng Special (long grain rice, fried chicken, chicken satay, cried egg, beef floss, cucumber, tomato)
The fried rice wasn't that tasty and a little bit dry. There are carrots and diced chicken inside, and topped w/ fried shallot, which a little bit bitter.

Condiments
And finally.. desserts!

Not really a fan of macarons, but this one is good!

Big Red - raspberry marmalade, fresh raspberries, vanilla brulee, almond macaron
Sweet and sour. The brulee was light and not overly sweet. The macarons was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.


One, Two, Tea - white chocolate mousse, manjari chantillym matcha tea sponge

Pannacotta Etc

20 Nov'13

New dessert place in Pacific Place, their main course is pannacotta.


We ordered Addiction (classic pannacotta with baileys), Seduction (banana pannacotta with hazelnut choco) and Balance (green tea pannacotta with white cream).

Addiction (30k) - Seduction (30k) - Balance (30k)

When the pannacotta arrived, we kinda taken aback by its size. It's a little bit smaller than what I imagined.

Addiction (classic w/ baileys)
Seduction (banana w/ hazelnut choco)
Balance (green tea w/ white cream)
For the second round we ordered Sensation (cheese pannacotta with raspberry), Pleasure (mint pannacotta with dark chocolate), and Berrylicious (classic pannacotta with mix berries).


Sensation (cheese w/ mix raspberry)
Pleasure (mint w/ dark chocolate)
Berrylicious (classic w/ mix berries)
Their Panna Cotta was good, but a little bit too small for me. hehe :p I like the mint panna cotta the most, but didn't really like the dark chocolate, because the chocolate was a bit rough/grainy. I also like their classic w/ baileys.

And finally you can choose the sauce/s, and it's also unlimited! They have 6 sauces: Yo'Barbie-Q (homemade hickory smoked oozy barbecue sauce), Yo'Aioli, Yo'Sesame (blend of shoyu and sesame sauce with a tad of mayo), Yo'Wasabi (combination of wasabi and mayonnaise), Yo'Java (roasted peanuts slowly simmered w/ a unique blend of spiced herbs), and Yo'Angry (spicy mayo).

*From all of the sauces I like Yo'Aioli and Yo'Sesame the most.
