Christmas Feast #3: Morganfield's Christmas Platter

-
Merry Christmas!!!

Finally my most favorite time of the year is here and I'm one happy happy girl! Lately, Paul and I have been dining with friends to celebrate the holiday season. We have just been back for a few days and so far our days are packed with get-togethers and meet-ups with family and friends whom we have been so excited to catch up and be reunited with. If there's one holiday that we promised we'll never missed, it would definitely be this.

So, what are you plans for Christmas Day? If you're thinking of taking the family out for a good meal, why not go and have a feast! Morganfield's recently launched their special Morgan's Christmas Feast (S$149.90++). This is good for 4-5 or even more to share! Each platter will give you 4 grilled sausages, half slab of the Christmas Cranberry Sticky Bones, half slab of the Christmas Hazelnut Sticky Bones, tender Bourbon Marmalade Glazed Ham Slices, Smoked Turkey Legs and a wide-array of sides such as roasted potatoes, glazed carrots, corn bread, green beans and caramelized onions. We were only able to try a few small pieces here and there as we had to share this platter with a large group but from what I've tried, only the Hazelnut Sticky Bones were quite memorable. I love the sweet hazelnut flavored sauce which made use of the Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar beer which I was also able to have a sip of much later. I wasn't able to try the ham nor the sausages but they sure looks good. Aside from the Hazelnut Sticky Bones there's the Cranberry Sticky Bones which made use of dried cranberries while grilling the ribs. Sadly, this was quickly taken by my fellow diners so neither Paul and I were able to try this. Do let me know what you think of it in the comment section below.

For chicken fans, they also have the Christmas Hazelnut Roast Chicken (S$28.90). Marinated once again with the Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar Beer, the chicken was very tender although I could hardly pinpoint how different the taste was supposed to be. Oh dear... perhaps the marinade was just to make it more tender which they were very successful at nonetheless.

Of course, what's Christmas without ham right? For those celebrating at home, you can avail of the Bourbon Marmalade Glazed Leg of Ham (S$168.90) which would definitely make a good inclusion to your party! It's really huge making it good for more than 12 pax in fact. I love how tender it was and the glaze has made it a bit sweet. So yummy!

For dessert, try the Cranberry n Peach Crumble (S$13.90) which is a ramekin of stewed cranberries and peaches and topped with butter sugar crumbs and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I'm such a big fan of warm/hot desserts paired with ice cream. Definitely a very comforting sweet treat that perfectly complemented all the savory dishes that we were able to try.

I don't normally drink but since it's the yuletide season, I happily enjoyed the Santa's Big Mug (S$25.90) which is a 1L frosty beer mug filled with a yummy mix of American craft beer and Kronenbourg Blanc. The mix was very light and was just the best accompaniment while we were enjoying our rack of ribs!

Morganfield's is located at 1 Vista Exchange Green, Unit #02-23, The Star Vista, Singapore.

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...
