New Ubin Seafood

 <Braised Pork Knuckle>

Super tender is how I would describe this dish. The meat just fell off the bone...Gosh! I wondered how long they had braised it for. The gravy was not too thick and had a hint of Chinese herbs to it, perfect for rice I'd say. They also have German Style Crispy Pork Knuckles. *Yums*

<Black Angus Ribeye Steak> 

This is something you wouldn't expect from a local " Zi Char" stall. If you did, you probably would have thought that it couldn't be good. Boy, are you so wrong! This was THE dish of the night! Served with caramelised onions and potato wedges. The quality of the beef was up there with some of the top steakhouse in Singapore. It was tender, juicy and full of beefy goodness. But it came at a hefty price of $62! A definite must-try!

<Nai Bai Chye> 

Somewhat overpriced at $15 for a meagre portion. This was definitely not worth it at all. I'd advise those who visit this place to simply focus on the meat and seafood.

<Heart Attack Fried Rice - sorry for the quality of the image> 

This dish came together with the Black Angus Ribeye Steak. You must be thinking, "Huh?!" Yup, this fried rice was cooked using the fats and oil of the ribeye steak. Pure sinful delight! The fat was cooked to crispiness, much like fried pork lard. Fragrant as it is, it didn't taste like beef fried rice though. Maybe it wasn't meant to be... Haha.

<BBQ Stingray>

This was quite different from what you would get from BBQ Seafood stalls. I suspect that they grilled this on the same grill that they cooked the steak. It really has a smoky taste. But what amazed me was how moist the fish was, inside. The chilli covering it wasn't too spicy either. To finish it off, the portion was huge. Full of meat. ^^

A word of advice. Remember to call for a reservation and if you are there during peak hours, order whatever you want at one go. Only have subsequent orders if you are prepared to wait ages compared to the first.

Awfully Chocolate

<Chocolate Cake>

They have 2 other players that are chocolate banana and chocolate raspberry with rum. But I chose the simple chocolate cake as I wanted to compare it to the one I had from Chocolate Origins. If you remembered, I wasn't entirely impressed with the cake from the other side. Thus, I was really eager to try this out. All I can say is that I totally preferred this hands down. Awfully Chocolate's chocolate cake was so much more moist that it literally melts in your mouth. The depth of the chocolate was good and luckily it wasn't too sweet. A must try for all chocolate dessert lovers!

Harry's Bar

<Harry's Burger>

Alright, I admit. I've totally forgotten the name of the burger. =.= But let's focus on the food here, shall we? The burger was huge, but the amount of fries was just over the limit. The burger had bacon, cheese and onions to elevate the taste. However, the star was the beef patty. It was surprisingly juicy and cooked medium-well. You can very much try out any dishes here, but remember... SKIP the Lamb Shank. It is super duper tough!

Polar Puffs & Cakes

<Hokkaido Cake>

Can you believe it? Hokkaido Cakes seem to be popping up everywhere recently. It feels like anything related to Hokkaido or Japan will just sell well? I saw this and just had to give it a try. Just what was Polar Puffs trying to do selling Hokkaido Cakes... A box of 6 comes in 2 different flavours, strawberry and the good old vanilla cream. The sponge tasted alright, quite light and fluffy in fact. The cream was nothing special though. But at about $2+ a piece, I guess it is still worth the price.

Eggs & Berries

Found a new decent breakfast and brunch cafe. Located at Changi City Point beside the Expo MRT station. They do serve lunch and dinner courses as well. But most people came for their all-day-breakfast meals. They have indoor and outdoor seats and the decorations are somewhat a little French.

<Corned Beef Hash and Eggs>

At $11.50 only, you get 3 butter-milk pancakes, a rosti, a bed of scrambled eggs and a pile of corned beef alongside some other side dishes. The food was great individually, but together it was just too heavy. If only the salad was dressed in Balsamic Vinegar, maybe it would have cut down the richness of the dish. The corned beef was also a little too wet for my liking.

 <Sweet Brioche French Toast with Sausage and Scrambled Eggs>

Served with pancakes and bacon as well, it was a commendable dish. A pity that the Brioche was not that good, it was just ordinary. At $13.50, I'd say it was decently priced.
