Feast on the " BEEFIER CATCH" at Manhattan Fish Market

The Manhattan FISH MARKET has always been well loved for their seafood and fish dishes .Surprisingly , they fare pretty well in dishing out beefy items too ! 

For a limited period of time, The Manhattan FISH MARKET has married beef with seafood items to come up with 4 main courses to tempt your taste buds !

We were treated to a hearty meal last week. Starting the dinner with very colorful selection of drinks and also had one round of starters .

 MFM has a wide selection of beverages

We couldn't get enough of these fried onions

and the mayo dip!

We had so much to feast on :)

Introducing the 4 "Beefier Catch " 

Here's the one for the guy :) Meat and fish ...great combo :D

Oven Baked Beef Rib & Grilled Ocean Perch $25.95* you can change the perch to either salmon ( + $1.00) or cod (+$2.00)

Personally I prefer the fish than the meat.. The piece of ribs we had was a bit tricky to cut and was slightly dry, but overall it was decent :)

The following main course is for ladies!

Oven Baked Beef Rib & Flaming Prawns  $23.95

This dish is good for those with smaller appeite and still wants the best of both worlds :) 

See that slightly charred prawns covered with melted cheese?

The staff will come to your table just to torch the cheese for you ! 

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Handmade Beef Patty & Bouillabaisse ..
I like the pairing of beef and seafood ! $16.95

Handmade Beef Patty & Tempura Prawns Burger $15.95 is quite a sight isn't it

Love the slightly spicy mayo tempura prawns and I like thick fries like these :) 

Pity the buns were abit tad dry, but otherwise tasty :)

Manhattan Flaming Seafood Platter

 We were also treated to one of MFM's favorite platter . Not only there are generious portions of fish fillets, oysters and calamari, there are also veggies and side of rice. A wait staff will also come by your table to light up the cheesey prawns right before your eyes !

Thats not all the food we tasted !
It 's always nice to end a meal with something sweet ! 

This is a upgraded version of our local delight 

Fried banana fritters topped with ice cream and drenched with 

coconut cream!! Sinfully good!!

Eat it while it's hot!! errm..or should I say eat it before it melts? hehehe

Thank you Mahattan Fish Market for the kind invite !

The Beefier Catch promotion is for a limited time till  31st May 2015, while stocks last, at all The Manhattan FISH MARKET Stores . For dine in only .

The King Louis Halloween Set

Vivocity is one of my favorite shopping mall in Singapore. It certainly has lots of shopping and food options for us shopaholics and foodies alike! It's also a great centralized location that is easily accessible by buses and the MRT. 

Alex and I visited Vivocity just last Thursday . Thanks to Openrice, we were invited to The King Louis Bar & Grill's for a food tasting event. It is our first time joining the Openrice team and fellow Openrice foodies for an event :)

The King Louis is located on the right side of Daiso on level 3. You wouldn't miss it!

Check out the castle like facade! Come! Let's go in and dine like a king!

I must mention this first. King Louis is a good place that caters to big dining group! Food serving here is meant for sharing :D

Come with me!

The King Louis is all decked out and ready for Halloween! 

Great venue to celebrate an occassion or 

gathering for office dept meal!

Here cones the food !

We are trying out their Halloween offerings for the month of October. All the food are meant for sharing among 4-5 persons ,(everyone will get a serving of soup. )

Highlandar Pumpkin Soup 

This is a made from scratch soup using their own special in house recipe

Look how thick and creamy it is! Comes with a wedge of bread 

Next up--English Style Chicken Ceasar Salad 
This is pretty ordinary in my opinon, nothing to shout about..
but does provide some veggie to the evening 

The King Louis Platter-
Onion rings, wedges , garlic sausages and small serving of greens , served
with sweet and spicy sauce. I am ok with this except the sausages,
they appeared kinda dry and shriveled. A tad salty too , but still
great as a starter before partaking of the main course !

( Thanks to King Louis for including both the Platter and salad for
our food tasting group. Usually for the set, you can choose from
either the platter OR the salad)

Here comes the main star of the night !
Meat galore ~ A great feast for meat lovers!!
There are baby back ribs,  roasted english style queen pullet ( chicken)
Lamb steak with rosemary herbs and roast beef with black pepper sauce.

Personally I really enjoyed the chicken ( on the left ) and the baby back ribs
As lighting wasn't excellent, I didn't take photos of all the meat.

I must say being a lamb person, I was quite disappointed with the lamb steak.
My husband and some of the other foodies agreed that the lamb was too tough.
Perhaps it was over cooked? The beef steak was nice but there was a hint of
 charred taste , else the texture was good for me.

Premium BBQ Baby back ribs
This was so fork tender and I really love it ! 
But the sauce may be a tad sweet haaha.

After resting my bursting tummy , we were served with dessert!!

Coconut ice cream with almond bits

It's as if we all have a separate stomach for dessert! Most of us managed to finish 

this delicious coconut ice cream even thou we were very full from dinner ! 

I am not a coconut fan but managed to scrape everything in the glass! 

I can even have a 2nd serving of it! :D 

Check out the poster from King Louis

 You can still choose from similar meat platter sets from the menu if you dine there on 

other days of the week. They have many different sets for you to choose from ! 

Once again , thanks to Elly from The King Louis and Openrice for inviting and hosting us!

Il Lido Sentosa Lunch

Lunch date at Il Lido ( Sentosa Golf Club )

It was a last minute lunch date with a former temp.colleague, Hui Zi :)

It was slightly challenging to get to
Sentosa Golf Club without private transport
( on this note..I think i have been pampered much lately)

Nicely manicured golf course

The happy duo :)


we sat alfresco
had a nice view of the sea


let's start off the meal with some bread...
* we had to asked 3 times for the olive oil and
balsamic vinaigrette*



Cheese with cherry tomato

we shared the starters
Prawn salad *yum*

tasty tomato soup


Here's my main
Strip sirloin
*tender*


Hui Zi's main
Cod ..very fresh


Dessert
Creme brulee
* Tad too sweet *


it was quite a nice luncheon
just that it was quite tedious to travel all the way to Sentosa just for lunch

I wouldn't mind going in again if there is transport :P

* ps * the above lunch was actually a voucher deal bought online *
