LaBrezza @ The St Regis Singapore

Whenever people eat at St Regis, they will usually think of Les Saveurs and Yan Ting.

A hidden gem is located next to the hotel's pool, called LaBrezza. LaBrezza serves Mediterranean food in style. The restaurant is quite small, and is packed during weekend lunch time.

The interiors has 2 primary colours - white and blue. Especially calming during the day.

A bread bowl with olive oil dip is served. Lot's of different bread.

Photobucket

Mushroom Soup - grilled Portobello mushroom velouté, croutons, fresh herbs and truffle oil

Salad with beef steak - was very surprised to see that lot's of sliced steak were served inside the salad. Very generous with the amount of beef in the salad.

Photobucket

Tomato with basil and mozerella cheese - Unlike other places, the tomatoes here tasted very sweet and goes well with the cheese.

Photobucket

Lamb Stew with couscous - Couscous was well cooked and fluffy, but the star was the stew where the lamb meat was stewed till tender and fragrant.

Photobucket

Grilled chicken stripes with grilled vegetables and cod roe sauce - the chicken had this tandoori taste to it, and the vegetables were grilled to perfection. I also enjoyed the roe too.

Desserts was good, but not exceptionally good. The flowers added a nice fragrance and taste to the dessert, giving it a "summer" taste.

Overall, this is a great place to have lunch during the weekends. I find the set lunch quite worth it, and holders of the Astor card will enjoy 50% on the set lunch.

Brussels Sprouts @ The Pier

I love eating at Brussels Sprouts. Nice ambience, very friendly waiters and waitresses, great food and good pricing.

Been hooked on the light taste of Stella Artois beer. Coming from the tap, the beer is refreshing light, ideal after a sweltering day.

King Crab salad on toast. It's real crab meat, on crispy toast. pity that only 3 pieces were given. (S$9.50)

Photobucket

Starter size Vin Blanc mussels + clams (white wine, butter, celery, onion, parsley) at S$18.50. The white wine sauce was tasty, and brought out the sweetness of the fresh mussels and clams. Highly recommended.

Photobucket

So far, I never had any bad clams or mussels from Brussels Sprouts. Everything is freshly cooked.

And the fries. It's free flow! The fries are not those commercial fries, but are hand cut and fried till crispy. Very addictive with chilli sauce. Load them up!

I would recommend this place for friends gathering. It gets pretty noisy and rowdy as the sky turns dark. And if you need an air con seat, do remember to make reservations.
