Tea Break at The Providore Mandarin Gallery

We had to rest after much shopping along Orchard Road, came across this lovely looking cafe, The Providore at Mandarin Gallery.

Had cappuccino to kill all the sleepiness and tiredness hahaha. Lovely to see heart shaped art on the coffee.

Spotted Pat and Stick's ice cream sandwich, we just need to order them and try it. It's actually ice cream sandwiched between some cookies.

Double Choc

Lunch at Central Hongkong Cafe at Orchard Central Shopping Mall

Last week, had lunch with my friend at Central Hongkong Cafe at Orchard Central Shopping Mall. The decoration of the cafe had the vintage Hongkong environment. Cantonese songs were played in the cafe.

Spotted portrait of famous late Hong Kong Actress Lydia Sum and that of late Actor Shek Kin (he is very famous in protraying villian roles).

Only those in my age group will be familar with their acting especially during the black and white TV era.

No introduction needed for this portrait of the late Bruce Lee.

Very vintage looking of the cashier counter in the cafe.

We had the bucket bean curd with pearl.

My friend had soup wanton noodle.

While I had rice with crispy duck, luncheon meat, veggies and fried egg.

Gurney Drive (Penang Food) at Changi Airport Terminal 3

Now we dont have to go all the way to Penang to eat Penang food, we can find it right here in Singapore. One of Gurney Drive's outlet is located at Changi Airport Terminal 3.

We need to tick our order on the ordering sheet and then pay at the cashier before they served us the food.

Saw so much delicious food in their menu, wanted to order a lot of food lol, but we cant eat that much.

So we settled for the famous Penang Laksa, the noodle seems a bit too thick for our liking but the gravy tasted so good with the sour taste.

Penang Char Kway Teow, like it that it was not so oily as the Singapore Version.

Our side dish of Lor Bak

Sis had the normal chendol

I had the chendol topped with the durian - yummy

Dinner Buffet at Olive Tree Restaurant at Intercontinental Hotel

Last week, hubby and me went to Olive Tree Restaurant at Intercontinental Hotel for buffet dinner. It was a nice cozy restaurant and love the ambience of the restaurant.

The menu changes everyday so everyday the dishes were different but I guess the cold section remains same.

The fresh oysters were very popular with diners.

We had free flow of drinks including red and white wine.

Love the dessert section,lots of different varieties of cakes and desserts, think I will come for the high tea buffet next time.

Was feeling very full and ended the dinner with some English Tea, they served in a pot (serving for one person). The tea tasted so good.

Cost of Buffet Dinner for adult on a Monday night was $88 + + (including free flow of drinks and wine) but we pay for the price of one adult only cause of the credit card promotion of 1 for 1 buffet.
