NEW DISHES AT MONTANA BREW

October 18, 2017 by Little Miss Honey 740 Comments

Montana Brew

Montana Brew is one of the restaurants that I would often rave about to my friends. My friends would frequently visit it and it is also one of the fave date places that my hubby and I been to. Recently, my blogger friends and I visit Montana Brew again to try out their new dishes.

Montana Brew is located in two-storey (Level 1 & 2) with a bigger space to accommodate their growing customers instead on its previous space which was in Level 1 of PoMo.The place has this modern industrial hip vibe with dim lights and abstract paintings on the wall. They have a nice bar area in Level 1. There is bar counter with hanging light bulbs & plant holder and cushioned chairs with throw pillows.

We were served with unique drinks that would entice our palate. I got the Yuzu Cold Coconut Brew ($7.80) – a cold coconut brew with  yuzu and cream. It has a light floral fragrance with a bit of coffee taste. They also have Regular Cold Coconut Brew ($6.50) and Nitro Cold Coconut Brew ($7.00)

Then came the new dishes…..

It was a feast for the eyes and our tummies were so ready to dig in.

Cold Crab Truffle Pasta ($21)

Montana Brew

This is made of cold angel hair pasta with crab meat and comb. This is perfectly paired with wine

Spicy Bacon Pasta ($17)

Montana Brew

This is made of linguine with sautéed big chunk of bacon, bacon bits, lots of chili and ginger. Spicy food-lovers, rejoice! This is the dish for you. I left my mouth on fire. It was spicy-good. Unfortunately, I am not much of a spicy food person so I leave thesis too those who love spicy food like my hubby.

Baked Salmon with Poached Egg ($18)

Montana Brew

Who loves salmon? Raise your hands! This dish is a salmon fillet with herbed couscous, shoyu mushrooms and yuzu hollandaise.

Fried Chicken Wings ($12)

Montana Brew

We have 5 perfectly coated deep fried chicken wings. I am loving this dish. Some of my friends find it a bit salty, however, I am loving it salty, perfectly-seasoned chicken skin. I  love dipping it in the garlic miring sauce.

Truffle Egg Rosti ($19)

This beautifully plated dish is made up of two poached eggs, parma ham, truffle hollandaise, and a walled potato rosti. This is a unique dish which is great to try out.

Lastly, we finished off with a yummy Rosso ($13) for dessert. It is like a deconstructed Black Velvet cake. It is uniquely decorated like a crow’s nest. It is made up of chocolate brownies, macerated berries and Irish Whiskey sauce. Drizzle the cherry sauce into the white sugar glaze nest and dig in. But be careful the sugar glaze can be torn-y. But rest assured, it is very yummy.

Do visit Montana Brew to try out their new dishes. You will never get disappointed  when you visit Montana Brew.

DON LECHON, FILIPINO LECHON RESTAURANT IN SINGAPORE

October 9, 2017 by Little Miss Honey 693 Comments

Don Lechon Singapore

I let you in a little tradition that my hubby and I have before we got married. When we are having a good day, we always have our “Lechon Day” in our favorite restaurant in our hometown in Iloilo City. When we shifted here in Singapore, finding a Filipino restaurant that serves good Lechon can be challenging. Lechon is a popular roasted pig dish often served in Filipino parties and to celebrate a grant occasion. It is cooked by skewering the whole pig with large sticks with the entrails removed, placed over a pit of hot charcoal for hours. The pig would be roasted for hours which would create that distinct crispy pig skin which crackles with a yummy crunch when you sink you teeth in. It is also best dipped in a yummy sweet liver sauce.

My hubby and I were ecstatic to know that there is a Lechon restaurant in the East of Singapore, near our place called Don Lechon. It is just a few minutes from Paya Lebar MRT. It is owned by a very friendly and charismatic Filipino, Mr. Krisanto Bibal. It is found just behind the GrandLink Square. You get to enjoy your Lechon and other Filipino dishes al fresco with a great view overlooking the river. I guess hubby and I can now go back to our “Lechon Days”. We took our eldest son with us in our trip to Don Lechon.

Look at the feast we had. We miss a lot of Filipino dishes and of course, there should always be a lechon.

Chopped Lechon Rice Meal ($9.50)

Don Lechon Singapore

The Lechon is the highlight of all the dishes. The crunch of the pig’s skin is perfectly dipped in a liver sauce. The flavor of the lechon reminds me of what a good lechons supposed to be. It is a taste that would want you to keep coming back again and again.

Lechon Sinigang Rice Meal ($11.50)

Don Lechon Singapore

This favorite flavourful sourish soup is a comfort food for most of Filipinos. I love drizzling the soup over my rice and having it on a cold rainy day. The soup contains fried lechon parts that are soft and juicy.

Lechon Sisig Rice Meal ($11.50)

Don Lechon Singapore

This has a generous serving, great for sharing with family and friends. It is a cut-up pieces of lechon cooked in a hot plate with a fresh egg on top. It is best to mix the egg while the hot plate is still very hot to cook the egg. Don Lechon cooks all their food upon ordering to preserve its quality.

Lechon Kare-Kare ($7.50)

Don Lechon Singapore

I love Kare-Kare! But I have never tried Lechon Kare-Kare and it is so yummy! It js in peanut-buttery sauce with all the vegetables thrown in and of course, the roasted lechon chunks dips into the yellow sauce. It is best with this sourish shrimp paste condiment called Bagoong.

Lechon Paksiw ($6.00)

Don Lechon Singapore

Lechon Paksiw is another dish that my hubby and I miss because we often can’t have that here in Singapore. It is a dish with lechon in it with oily sweet brown sauce marinating it. It is a very yummy indulgent dish.

Bopis ($5.50)

Don Lechon Singapore

This is a unique Filipino dish made up of cut-up pork liver and heart sauteed in onions, chillies and tomatoes. It is an interesting dish for those who wants to venture on a different type of Filipino food. This Don Lechon speciality was showcase in a Esquire Singapore magazine as one of the interesting dishes to try.

For those interested to get as ala carte, here are the prices:

Chopped Lechon: $38/kg and $20/0.5kg

Sinigang: $11

Lechon Sisig: $14

Lechon Paksiw: $12

Bopis: $12

Extra Rice: $1

They also have a whole lechon (22-27kg) for $650 as well as Lechon Ulo for $60 on a pre-order basis. They do deliveries with corresponding delivery fee.

We are so glad to have discovered this great Filipino restaurant that my hubby and I can often go to as well as a great place dining place with our Filipino friends. If I want to introduce my non-Filipino friends to Filipino cuisine, this is the place to take them. We noticed that a lot of people were dining at Don Lechon when we went there. It was great find, indeed.

Do visit them and let us know what you think. Here is a bonus point that you should know. If you go there and it’s your birthday, one dish is on them! Isn’t that cool?

Don Lechon is a must-try restaurant if you are a Pinoy who misses the Lechon or someone who has never tried any Filipino dishes before, this is the place for u to go.

I GOT NAUGHTIFIED AT NAUGHTY NACHOS

September 28, 2017 by Little Miss Honey 4,211 Comments

Naughty Nachos

A few weeks ago, my family and I flew back to the Philippines. Instead of the direct flight to our hometown, Iloilo City, we took a flight to Manila to stay there for 2 nights.

We just had to visit my sister’s restaurant in Quezon City called the Naughty Nachos. I have heard a lot of people raving about it in social media. Nope, it didn’t come relatives but real true-blue customers who were just love their dishes. So I had to do a taste-test of my own, of course.

Naughty Nachos is perfectly located in Maginhawa Street in Quezon City where you find a wealth of university students, millennials and yuppies’ hang out and Naughty Nachos’ brand is right up the alley of what this demographic wants. It is found surrounded by several hip restaurants and mini-marts, them being the only restaurant that offers new version of nachos and marinated chicken wings. The interiors respond to the aesthetics of their typical customers: in-your-face big wall murals, lots of cool writings on the wall, funny-cartoonised nachos, simplistic long wooden table for groups and wide space for communal gathering on the second floor. Mind you, our niece did some of the black & doodles on the wall facing the stairs leading up to the 2nd floor. I also recognised the writings on chalk board to be of my sister’s. I saw lots of Jenga puzzle boxes and other board games by the side for customers to play with while waiting for their order. I think that is a cool idea!

So comes the food. I was on a vegetarian diet so I tried the Cheesy Beef Nachos (165 php) but I had to put the minced beef to sides for my hubby to eat. I was so in love with the cheese! It tasted creamy and authentic. It doesn’t taste like the regular preserved cheese you buy for nacho dips which taste plasticky. Their cheesy taste is so addicting plus the nachos itself has its own taste which you can actually eat even without any dips.

Naughty Nachos

I also tried the Mango Avocado Nachos (220 php) sans the avocado that day though because there was no avocados available for that day. Vegetarians would rejoice because this dish is purely vegetarian. This dish tasted like summer. It was so cooling and filled with so much flavor.

Naughty Nachos

My hubby was given their bestseller Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings (199 php for 1/2 dozen & 395 php for 1 dozen) . If you love Korean marinated chicken bbq wings, their chicken wings which comes in other flavours: Sweet Soy Garlic and Classic Gravy besides Sriracha Wings, would answer your craving. My hubby had to eat two little casserole of rice due to these. By the way, the rice is placed in this cute little kaldero which reminds you of our home kaldero where we cook rice on stove or charcoal. I love that they took care of wonderful details like that and their dishes were placed in a nice long wooden plate that helps you when you need to take lovely photos for your food trip at Naught Nachos. They also provide plastic glove for customers if you want to eat using hands.

My sister made the Classic Vanilla MilkShake (155 php) herself for Naj which consist of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and mango. Naj even assisted her as she created her yummy concoction. Of course, my sweet-tooth son enjoyed it a lot. We were also given an unlimited servings of their refreshing Japanese Red Iced Tea. They also have Naughty Milkshakes (185 php): Epic Smores, Better Than Snickers, Throwback Tsokolate and Cereal Killah.

Naughty Nachos have wonderful unlimited deals for people to try. 

Naughty Nachos have wonderful unlimited deals for people to try. Unlimited Nachos, Unlimited Wings and lots more to choose from with affordable prices. Unli Wings/Unli Rice for 299 php, for Unli Wings/Unli Fries , just add 80 php and for unlit wings/unli nachos add 80 php. Strictly no sharing, leftovers and takeouts.

Naughty Nachos

I want to congratulate my sister and her business partners in their wonderful food business. I highly recommend it, not just because it is my sister’s restaurant but I am really loving their food! Do support Naughty Nachos. I promise you, you wont regret it. Comment below if you have visited Naughty Nachos and let me know what you think about it.
