CHECKIN’ OUT THE NEW AND IMPROVED MONTANA BREW CAFE

January 11, 2017 by Little Miss Honey 774 Comments

One evening of 2016, four blogger friends came out for a food tasting at the new and improved Montana Brew Bar. Miss Chocoholic invited me, Sweet Memoirs and DessertingBeauty for this fun foodtasting evening. Montana Brew is not foreign from us. Miss Chocoholic, DessertingBeauty and I had visited the cafe before in one of our planned cafehopping session. We had their famous instagrammable red velvet waffles. Because I liked the place and I wanted to try their savoury menu, I took my husband there for one of our date nights.

I was surprised to find that 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. I particularly like their bar area in Level 1. There is bar counter with hanging light bulbs & plant holder and cushioned chairs with throw pillows.

Peking Duck Confit with Waffles

This chicken gives you a good variation of the Peking Duck. The herbs and spices marinating in the chicken was powerful and delicious. It comes with a delightful chilli sauce.It comes with two 1/4 soft waffles to balance the rich flavor of the chicken

Braised Beef Cheek with Carrot Kimchi

($20.80)

This is served with sweet potato and potato mash, egg and toast. The serving is good enough to be shared by two people. The beef was oh so tender. It has a heavy yummy sauce that ignite my tastebuds in delirium.

Crab Burger with Yuzu Coleslaw

($24.00)

I never liked the other carb burgers I have tasted before. But this one is an exemption. I like that it is in a crab & seafood patty and it doesn’t crumble off easily. I love the flavor and the yuzu coleslaw is great in it. I am happy it comes with fries because I believe burger and fries should always go together.

Spicy Chorizo Orechiette

($18.00)

I didn’t find this dish spicy at all. It is an interesting dish and I love the Spanish sausage which is star of the dish. It is drizzled by a generous amount of parmesan cheese and garlic breadcrumbs.

Matcha Black Sesame Freak Cakes

($14.80)

Montana Brew has a wonderful variety of hypnotic freak cakes. We got the Matcha Black Sesame with its beautiful green hue. There were matcha kitkats and pepero sticks strategically decorated in the delectable moist cake.

I urge everyone to come visit Montana Brew Bar. From their savoury to sweet dishes, they never disappoint.

FOOD DISCOVERIES: THE TIRAMISU HERO

February 18, 2016 by Little Miss Honey 1,940 Comments

I have noted that the Lavender area, particularly in Tyrwhitt Road, have great hole-in-the wall restaurants and café available for the foodies of Singapore. My sister’s friend brought us to this cute place, The Tiramisu Hero, that serves yummy variety of tiramisu. I didn’t stay long that time and vowed to come back next time.

The next time, I brought along my colleagues for an after-work afternoon of tiramisu and lively chat. The Tiramisu Hero is a small but adorable place. Inspite the small location, the establishment made pretty good use of the space with some merchandises sold in the front part of the cafe. The wall is decorated by drawings and a big head of their cat mascot, Sir Antonio where people can take a photo.

The Tiramisu Hero is a dream project of Aileen and Peggy who wanted a cozy and fun café for foodies. They picked Tiramisu because it is their favourite Italian dessert. They have come up with several types of tiramisu for all types of taste buds.

We all picked a tiramisu of our choice. There were tiramisu that have alcohol content. I picked the Original and brought a jar for my hubby, the Oreo flavour. The Classic flavour cost $7.50 per jar while the Premium flavour cost $9.50.

The tiramisu was moist and yummy, nothing spectacular. I had better tiramisu but I liked the presentation. It was a bit pricey though for its size.

We also got other foods in the menu which we tried.

CHUNKY MUSHROOM SOUP ($6.00)

This is a nice feel-good dish with warm mushroom that was blends perfectly with toasted garlic bread that is great with this dish.

TRUFFLE FRIES ($9.50)

We couldn’t get enough of these fries, we had two orders of these. I love the dip that comes with it.

RISOTTO AL FUNGI ($15.80)

I ordered this. This is a cream-based risotto with bacon strips, button mushrooms, organic baby spinach and pesto sauce. Unfortunately, I am disappointed with this one. The risotto wasn’t a bit too dense for me and the flavor of the sauce was mediocre.

AGLIO OLIO ($14.90)

This is looks and taste delightful. This is angel-hair pasta cooked al-dente with garlic, good-sized prawn, and lots of crisp bacon tossed in extra virgin olive oil. This dish has my thumbs-up.

TRUFFLE & SAGE PASTA ($15.90)

This is a very creamy pasta though I am not a fan of Portobello mushroom. The pasta was cooked perfectly al-dente like the Aglio Olio. This is hand-kneaded tagliatelle with truffle, sage and mushrooms. But this is not favourite though.

The Tiramisu Hero is a great place for people to hang out for chats and enjoy trying different types of tiramisu. It is also perfect for food photographers/ bloggers to take wonderful photos with their cute aesthetics of the place. When you visit be sure to take your photo with Sir Antonio’s head.

FOOD DISCOVERIES: A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR

October 7, 2015 by Little Miss Honey 1,335 Comments

I didn’t realise that living in the East of Singapore, I have to advantage of my proximity to Changi Village where there are a hidden finds of cafes and restaurants to choose from. One day after work, I met up with fellow Filipino blogger, Reg of Hey Rocket Girl at this cute café at Changi Village.

A Spoonful of Sugar is one of cute cafes in Changi Village that serves waffles, ice creams and pastries.

I love the interiors of the place. It is fun, dream-like and colourful. The place is quite small but they made perfect use of the space. There were miniature hot ballots and colourful pompoms with cool murals in the wall.

You can have the waffles in two ways: thin crispy waffles or the fluffy waffles topped with the ice cream of your choice and some sweet sprinkles.

Thin Crispy Waffles

Fluffy Waffles

I prefer the crispy thin waffles compared to the fluffy waffles. The thin waffles has a crunch to it and it has a different texture than the usual waffles we are used to. While the fluffy waffles is too thick and heavy in the tummy. There are also a lot of ice cream favours to choose from as well as toppings. I got a sea salt caramel and coffee flavoured ice cream.

There are several coffees to choose from also.

Hot Mocha Coffee

Foamy Cappuccino

I like the presentation of their cafe arts. Their coffees were ok but not spectacular. They also have this yummy rainbow cake to go with the coffee.

If you want to get some sweet carbo-loaded fix at an adorable food spot , go to A Spoonful of Sugar to satisfy your cravings.
