Let's Lunch : Moo Bar & Grill at McCallum Street

-
One reason why I just love working in the Central Business District (CBD) is that the choices for places to have lunch is ENDLESS. Seriously, on my first week with the company a little more than a year ago, it would take me half an hour to choose where to get lunch as I would walk around the block and still end up undecided where to either dine in or to tabao (take away) my food. From Japanese to Mediterranean, not to mention we got the Amoy Food Centre just a few steps away, our office area is every working foodie's dream come true!

I love going out for lunch with my colleagues at least once a week as it gives me a good breather even just for an hour. Lunch meetings are fun too as you get to do something productive while enjoying a good meal. That's what I'd call hitting two birds with one stone. So, during one of our lunch meetings a few months back, my colleagues and I decided to have it at Moo Bar & Grill which is just a few steps from our office. Its location is so perfect that majority would hang out at Moo on a Friday night for a few bottles of beer before heading home. Since, I don't drink (that much), I'm there for the bar chows! :) I'd say, their deep-fried starters are quite good. I'm a fan of the calamari as well as the shrimp skewers too! We would normally get a few orders of these to share. The Sausage Platter (S$22) is also a popular choice among their regular patrons too.

For that particular lunch, I wanted to take the healthier route so I went for the Pan-Roasted Tasmanian Salmon (S$47). Each main dish comes with your choice of soup or salad. I went for the Fresh Garden Salad that came with Thousand Island dressing which I requested to be served on the side. The vegetables were fresh and the lettuce was crisp. I'm just not a fan of Thousand Island dressing so I would just lightly dip my lettuce into it to add more flavor.

The Pan-Roasted Tasmanian Salmon was really good! I was given the choice to swap out my grilled veggies with truffled mashed potato but I guess there was a slight mixed up in the kitchen so the server gave me both. I happily shared this with my colleagues as the scent of the truffled mashed potato was pretty much mouth-watering. As for the fish, the salmon was indeed very fresh and the meat was very tender while the skin stayed crunchy. It was really delicious and I was very happy with my choice.

For dessert, we shared the Homemade Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream (S$15) which was okay but I have to admit that I was looking forward to a more unique or a leveled up dessert. Perhaps a nice slice of cake or maybe even a Molten Lava Cake in fact.

The best part about dining at Moo Bar & Grill is that they have an all-day 1-for-1 main course promotion so you basically just pay for one (whichever is highest, of course).

Check out Moo Bar & Grill at 21 McCallum street (across Tokio Marine), 01-03 The Clift, Singapore. Call them at 6634-2662.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall
