This restaurant is great for people who want to get away from the city buzz (like me). Its something like Dempsey Hill, but definitely less crowded. Located along Tanglin Road (amid the embassies), its a little walk uphill if you are dropping off at the bus stop along the road.  Otherwise, it’d be good to drive, there’s free parking (and ample,at that)! Outdoor sitting allows a greenery view, great for nature lovers. Very pleasant and peaceful.  It kinda makes you forget you’re in busy Singapore.

I was there for brunch and I immediately fell in love with their menu. I settled for an Eggs Benny which was simply irresistible. Its a waffle with corn,syrup and a delicious yellow runny egg. It was a little rich though, so it might be a good idea to share (but I believe guys with a hearty appetite like Donovan might enjoy it alone!). My partner ordered a British Brekkie which seemed pretty normal to me with sausages, toasted bread and a sunny side up. He totally enjoyed it though. The highlight had got to be the Cinnamon Roll. It simply beats any other cinnamon-related pastry I’ve ever tried. It was so crispy yet soft. The sugar wasn’t too much, and the raisins went oh-so-well with it. It’s definitely a must-try! At $5 for a rather big piece, it just can’t get any cheaper. I tried their potato wedges (apparently, it wasn’t on the menu but my partner was just trying his luck) and it was awfully good and not too expensive. I ordered their latte as well and the foam came in a little heart shape. Perfect for girls who love little things like that Their coffee was very rich, and I guess it’d be perfect for coffee lovers who need that little boost at the start of their day. I enjoyed their mint lemonade too. It was too sour for my partner, but it worked well for me. Very refreshing for a hot day! Oh, and I understand that their sugar syrup was home-made

I am looking forward to more trips there, to try every single thing on their menu. I have never been there for dinner, but I reckon it would be good as well. Just blogging this makes me really hungry now!

Price wise, I would say its reasonable for their quality and quantity.

Reservations are HIGHLY recommended, because I always see a sneaking queue whenever I am there. I understand that they are always fully booked at least a week in advance, so please do book early to avoid disappointment! Singapore needs more restaurants like this! Stay tuned for my dinner update! And in case you can’t wait, here’s the restaurant’s info:

Any fans of Tony Roma’s out there?? You will be delighted to see this promotion!! It is their 15th anniversary and they want to celebrate with you!! haha.

I’ve often heard good reviews of The Prime Society at Dempsey, and so, I decided to check it out. Located among the numerous restaurants there (at the main carpark), I thought it was going to be a breeze to locate it. However, I had to drive around the carpark several times before i could locate it. That’s because it doesn’t have a grand and catchy entrance. In fact, its a pretty modest one.

Everything is different once you step inside though. It has posh settings, with a bar in the middle, and a cooking area at the end of the restaurant. I recommend Al-fresco sitting, because it overlooks a field, and it has a more relaxing feel to it.

They are famous for their fresh and tender steaks. I ordered lemon salt & pepper calamari ($12), fillet mignon ($32 for 160g) and flame grilled ribs ($25 for half a rack, $38 for full). Calamari was only so-so to me, but the fillet mignon was great! I had medium rare, and it was juicy and tender. The ribs were absolutely yummy as well. Both main course come with fries, small potatoes, vegetables. They ain’t exactly generous with their serving, so for big eaters (like don!), you’d definitely not go well with the small portions. I ordered small ones for all, by the way.

Their service was a little over-enthusiastic, coming over to take my order every minute when i had a hard time deciding what kind of steak i wanted. In addition, the price is quite steep. Be prepared to spend approximately $50 per person for small quantity of food. Overall, it was a pretty decent fine dining experience for me.

This time round we will be travelling round the globe to the United States for some yummy American food

Walk through the front doors and you know you’re in for something special! With French limestone floors and decorative columns, hand-painted fabrics, contemporary lighting and an abundance of cherry wood, the lavish decor is just the beginning…

The Cheesecake Factory as the name suggest is famous for their wide variety of delicious CHEESECAKES!!! a must have dessert after each meal

They offer as many as 50 kinds of cheesecakes and desserts to choose from!! and i bet you will be spoilt for choice

But The Cheesecake Factory serves much more than just cheesecake!

They also offer more than 200 menu selections including Appetizers, Pizza, Pasta, Seafood, Steaks, Salads, Sandwiches, and more which are equally good

Last but not least, they serve the best bread i have ever tasted and the best part is….. It is FOC!!!!

The Cheesecake Factory is definitely a place which you can’t miss when u are in the US. They are conveniently located but be prepared to wait for at least an hour for dinner because they are simply so popular with both the locals and tourists. No reservations though. Please remember to tip them generously for their excellent service!!!
