Weekend Brunch at The White Rabbit, Singapore

-
"I'm late, I'm late for a very important date!"

 This line just got to be the most memorable one that has stuck with me throughout all these years after watching Alice in Wonderland. It's the line delivered by the White Rabbit.

Here in Singapore, The White Rabbit means much more than the furry white character in the book, it also stands for one of the best fine dining place in the island and as our friends L & T came to visit us last weekend, I figured that it's the best place for us to catch up while enjoying their popular weekend brunch too.

What makes dining at The White Rabbit so interesting is the fact that you can enjoy the beautiful interiors inside. It's actually a restaurant and bar that's housed within a restored old chapel so as we walked up the mini hill towards the restaurant, Paul was quite unsure if this was indeed The White Rabbit as it looks like a chapel from the outside. "Are you sure this is it?", he asked me a couple of times before heading up those steps.

Look at how filled the restaurant was on this fine Saturday morning. It was a good thing that I've made reservations that way, we instantly got a nice table for 7! Even little TS got his high chair too. Despite how busy the restaurant was, our server was still very attentive to our needs. Really impressed! Every request was quickly granted from TS' kiddie cutlery set, to an extra plate and more serviettes (napkins) too.

Here's what we got:

Paul tried The White Rabbit Fry Up (S$26) which is a complete breakfast set consisting of eggs (cooked any way you like it), thick cut smoked bacon, pork sausage, grilled Portobello mushrooms, tomatoes, brioche toast and arugula salad. It was a hearty meal and I particularly liked how creamy the scrambled egg was similar to how hotels would do it. The thick cut smoked bacon had a strong smokey flavor which was quite good too. Paul gave his two thumbs up for his delicious brunch choice.

Meanwhile, I went for the Crisp Potato Rosti with Smoked Salmon (S$26). To be honest, I was expecting my smoked salmon to be how it normally is in buffets and delis. This was baked or probably grilled but that's fine as it was so tender and fresh nonetheless. The crisp potato rosti came with three sauces -- mustard, sour cream and sweet onion jam. I was so busy trying each one and in the end I would make sure to top each and every slice with all three. The arugula salad was very fresh and I loved it!

As for my companions, both Ting and T enjoyed their Cape Grim Steak & Eggs (S$36) and I must say that the serving was very big! L had a plate of Fettuccine Carbonara (S$24) which she shared with baby TS. She commented that it was quite good as well. As for our friend S, he went for the Wagyu Quarter Pounder (S$28) which sadly failed his expectations. The texture, according to him, was a bit off and because of that he barely finished the thick burger patty. Guess it was that bad. :(

Over-all, our experience was superb! We're so glad to be able to finally try The White Rabbit. Maybe next time we should go there for dinner and try another menu. We also opted to skip dessert here as we were all so excited to have ice cream at Sunday Folks!

p.s.: The White Rabbit is included in the list of establishments in the Entertainer App so that means I got 3 1-for-1 coupons that I can redeem. I just love it that they don't put a limit to the number of coupons one can redeem per visit making it so much better as we basically just paid half of how much our bill was supposed to be. I highly recommend that you download your app and package now! Check out the link for a special discount promo code just for the month of August. 

The White Rabbit is located at 39C Harding Road, Singapore 249541. Call them at 6473-9965 to make a reservation.

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...
