It has been a pretty rough Thursday but yeah, I made it peeps! I have to resort to Gong Cha's caramel milk tea for a dose of happiness but other the unfortunate 1 kg weight gain (probably due to the Gong Cha drug plus Tai Cheong's egg tart), I'm glad I manage to go through Thursday. Thanks God indeed.

If you are looking for a place to chill tomorrow after work (yaassssss Friday is just around the corner), you may want to consider coming to the Wine Company at Sentosa Boardwalk. Especially if you can come out of office before 7PM.

Singapore Eats: The Wine Company, Sentosa Boardwalk

The easiest way to reach the Wine Company is by coming through Vivo City. You can make your way to the entrance/exit door from Vivo City to Sentosa Boardwalk between Brotzeit and Barrio by MexOut. If you want to sit inside, you have to make a reservation though. We did not make one last time and hence, we settled for an al fresco table.

If sunset-watching is your favourite pastime, you should opt for an al-fresco table really. You will be able to enjoy this view right across your table. I do not have so many opportunities to catch sunset in Singapore (thanks 9-to-not-6 job!), so I really enjoy lazing around while waiting for the sun to set. The last time I have this opportunity is 2 months ago when I travelled to Bali. That lovely island.

What to order when you are in the Wine Company? Of course, the wines. You can laugh at me and my dining buddy but initially we planned to make it a "clean" dinner. Like no-alcohol kind of clean. What a joke, right? Hahaha. Obviously both of us failed our own plan and ended up with a glass of Infusion (Anniston pomegranate & rose, Western cape) and Sparkling (Riebeek Cellars Sparkling Brut NV, Swartland). Each glass of 150ml wine costs SGD 9.90++.

Since the atmosphere and the weather were quite cool and cozy that night, we decided to have our dinner here. We ordered three food from the menu. The first one is the salt & pepper squid (SGD 9.90) which is a kind of dish that cannot and should not go wrong at all since you just need to season the squid, batter them and fry them to wonderful crisp. Hahaha.

The next bite that we ordered is a classic Singaporean dish, Crabmeat Chunks. The crabmeat soupy sauce has the taste of sweet and sour compared to the chili crab taste but nonetheless, it still goes well with the fried mantou (i.e. the two golden fried buns). This has been my favourite dish back then in my younger days whenever we came to Hard Rock cafe to listen to a live band. Omg, the day where my money crash and burn seems to be just yesterday. Hahaha.

The last dish that we ordered is actually a kinda wake-up dish from the alcohol that we have been consuming because it has coffee taste. Yep, it is a coffee-rubbed spareribs (SGD 22.90). I personally find the coffee taste a bit too strong to my liking but my dining buddy find it to be okay. Hmm, I wonder if my tastebud does not really go well with caffeine.

Lunch date goes on in the first day of February. I am definitely feeling great knowing that the harsh month of January is now over and done. Totally gonna chill and slack as much as I can this month although boss seems to have different idea of February compared to my plan. Hahaha.

Today, lunch buddy and I hanged out at our favourite stop along Downtown Line, Bugis. Instead of the usual Bugis Junction, we decided to explore the neighbouring shopping mall, Bugis+. If you are looking for a place to eat at Bugis+, you just need to explore two levels i.e. the ground level and L4. We looked for a place with no queue yet as we did not want to spend a lot of time queuing up so we ended up eating at Lenas.

Lenas seems to be another jack-of-all-trade kind of restaurant although it seems to specialize in Western food (well, steak, pizza and pasta do sound Westernish). Both of us wanted to try out the pasta because pizza seems to be too big for one person. The pasta served at Lenas looks pretty similar to Saizeriya's from the picture but let's see how well they are. I went for the grilled dory tomato based pasta. The grilled fish is okay, the pasta is okay, the tomato sauce is okay too. Generally, it is an okay dish I guess.

My lunch buddy's meal looks pretty similar to mine except for the part that it uses chicken meat instead of fish. The tomato sauce taste exactly the same. I suppose we all know now that all tomato based pasta will use the same sauce. Similar concept should be applicable for the other based sauce like cream sauce, etc.

Since we still have some time (and tummy space) for dessert, we went for McDonald's at Bugis Junction to dig into depravity in the form of McFlurry. Hahaha.

The strawberry Oreo taste not bad if you want to try different taste of McFlurry. It's indeed a beautiful mess inside the cup. Hahaha.
