Pre-Birthday Dinner Date

We had our "dinner date" for habiga's birthday celebration earlier at Oscar's restaurant in Conrad Hotel in Millenia. We're on a "tight budget" mission so we choose this place so we can make use of our voucher hihihi. They server international buffet at $60++ per person which is really worth every cent spent. There wasn't much choice on the hot dishes as they were serving either an indian or malaysian cuisine. But really the unending supply of shrimp, lobster, crayfish, oyster and sushi's were all worth it. Just don't eat much rice :) Supply of bread will be served too. There's a bowl of mix fruits, salad, soup and a lot choices for the dessert. Their dessert lists waffle with ice cream, 3 or 4 flavours of ice cream, banana crepe, hors 'd vours and my favorite chocolate pralines. Plus you can still get a cup of coffee at the end of it all. We did get a 100ml each of red and white for only $9 each! Our total bill sums up to $160+ with GST and service charge less $60 voucher, a $100 dinner date isn't bad at all having all that delicious meals. When I called for reservation, I also asked a birthday cake to be serverd. When I got the bill, I was so surprise to see it was FOC. And to top it all, service is the best! Although ambiance wasn't that at all romantic inside the restaurant, well compared to Swissotel's Equinox, you can request to be seated outside so that it won't be too noisy. This was my birthday gift to him along with the CK long sleeves :)

Fig and Olive

We tried eating at Fig and Olive by chance only. There were no other restaurants that is kind of affordable and we we're really hungry by the time we saw this place. We took the chance and we never regretted it. It's located at Vivo City, 3rd Floor with a mediterrenean ambiance. It's one place you will ever go back to whenever there's chance. Al fresco dining is available for diners who prefer to chill out overlooking the Sentosa Island .

ON SERVICE
It's very rare to see good service with good ambiance and great food all in one place. But Fig and Olive proved us wrong. A smile on every staff attending to your needs. Always ready to serve any customer without you trying so hard to caught their attention. And there's always a refill on your glass of water! :) I don't know if there's just few people eating there but they served our food faster than what we've expected.

ON AMBIANCE
Though a bit small with about 9 or more tables inside and about 5 more outside the restaurant, the ambiance is really great. With a mediterranean style and colorful paintings on the wall, it completes the feeling of just having a sumptous meal at home :)

ON FOOD
FIGO CYPRUS STEAK: A slice of beef with garden fresh salad and bits of fig and olive and a bowl of olive rice. Tastes ok but I wasn't that enthralled. I guess healthy-buff will definitely adore this dish. $19.90

CREME CHICKEN MUSHROOM PASTA: Linguini pasta with a cream mushroom sauce and a slice of roasted chicken and bits of green and black olives. Yum! Not a pasta lover but this dish is absolutely divine. And knowing that what you're eating is healthy adds up to the flavour. Love love love this one. $10.50

DIVINE BROWNIE: A huge slice of brown warm brownie with a vanilla-flavoured ice cream melting on top. I am a waffle-with-ice-cream kind of girl but this dessert was heavenly delicious. A dessert that's not too sweet and just about right. Luv-et! $6.20
