The Chop House by The Wooloomooloo Group

-
Our dear friend A is in town and this just gave the group another reason to get together for a nice dinner last Sunday. A's dinner choice was The Chop House in Vivo City and we just couldn't be happier! After all, who says no to having steak and burgers for dinner?

Researching more about The Chop House, I was surprised to know that this is actually part of the Wooloomooloo Group. As you all know, Wooloomooloo is ranked to be one of the best steak houses both in Singapore and in Hong Kong. I've been wanting to try Wooloomooloo since I moved to Singapore last year so consider this my first step to Wooloomooloo. What sets The Chop House apart from the famous steak place is that it has a more casual vibe. They're known for their self-service bar system where diners can avail of tap cards with credits that will allow them to try as much beer as they want.

Paul and I started our meal with a bowl of Pumpkin Soup (S$10) which was very good. I tell you, after trying Cibo's Pumpkin Soup, it's really hard to find one that matches up to it but I'm happy to report that The Chop House's version was just as delicious. Perfectly creamy with the right consistency and each spoonful gives you a strong flavour of pumpkin puree and pepper bits. Yum!

For our mains, I tried the Fish & Chips (S$24) as I've been craving for this for weeks! Melt-in-your-mouth cod fish coated in a crispy beer batter and served with mashed peas, fries and homemade tartare sauce. The fish was so good! Flavorful on its own that I hard found the need to dip it into the tartare sauce. However, the sauce was just a delicious so why not! What I didn't like though was the mashed peas as it was bland and it somehow didn't create any impact to the dish. Wish they replaced this with some creamy spinach or coleslaw instead.

Paul, on the other hand, tried the Bacon, Guacamole and Chicken Burger (S$20). First of all, when he said that he's ordering that, I warned him that the chicken patty might be dry and bland. However, he was confident that The Chop House won't let him down plus there's bacon and guacamole so he believes that nothing can go wrong given this good combination. Such positive vibes he has, noh? Well, he was right. The chicken was grilled perfectly making it juicy and delicious in every bite. The bacon gave it a smokey flavor and the guacamole just sealed the deal for this dish. It was delicious and what made it even better were the Tater Tots that were served with it. I happily swapped my good ol' fries with Paul's tater tots. :)

What a delicious meal at The Chop House! I can't believe that we waited this long before we finally went to try it. It's a good thing A suggested this or months or years would have probably pass before we finally discover this gem that's located so close to our home.

The Chop House is located at 1 Harbourfront Walk, #01-161/162 Vivo City, Singapore 098585. Call them at 6376-9262.

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 ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
