PoTeaTo

Out of ideas on where to go for food?

Check this place out!~

PoTeaTo

Its a bistro cafe that not only sells food and tea&coffee, they also have beers here too!
Its a great place to chill with friends or have meetings at.
What's good is that they have plugs so that you can charge your laptops there, just like coffee bean and Starbucks.. but at a less crowded and yummier environment. Hahaha

They have different menus at different times of the day.
Like the brunch menu which is only available on Saturdays and Sundays.
Breakfast, lunch, hi-tea and also dinner.

So we went to Poteato during dinner time.
There was a crowd there just like any cafe at a dinner time,
What I like about the place it has a really nice feel to it, although you will need to go to the cashier to order your food.
(Which I feel is not a big issue~ at least you don't have the pressure of waiters or waitress waiting for you to make a decision on what to eat.)
They have columns? or sections? like a wall~, and the seats are nicely placed apart enough privacy to have a conversation with your friend(s) without being overheard.

Rather then the place and environment, of course we will need food *smirk*
Their specialities are the fish and chips, salmon with roast potatoes, sweet potato chips, Louisiana Pork Ribs and Bangers and mash.
So naturally we ordered the two main dishes salmon and pork ribs, a side of potato chips and an iced mocha and a iced lemon tea.

Salmon & Roast Potatoes
Tender salmon that is layered with teriyaki sauce, cooked perfectly, juicy and tender.

 A side of salad dressed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil
 and roasted potatoes that are slighted seasoned with herbs and salt. 

Louisiana Pork Ribs
Tender and succulent ribs cooked to perfection, not tough or dry.

Comes with a side of wedges, salad and cheese (for the wedges)

Iced Mocha (Strong coffee taste with no sugar)
Iced Lemon Tea (not too sweet, perfect blend of tea and lemon)

PoTeaTo Chips

Sauces: Cheese and Tomato herb

Its like a meal on its on so it comes with a side of salad as well~

The table was a little bit small for 3 big plates haha. But we managed~

I have a really small appetite, but surprisingly the salmon was just nice for me! I finished every single bit of it, it was just that good hahaha~ (or Maybe I was just really hungry hahaha ^^)

Although the cafe was kinda far from the MRT station, but you could just take a short cut through the HBD buildings which take about 8-10mins walk. (Having a little work out before dinner really gives a you a good appetite.)
Especially after having filled our stomachs to the brim, walking around looking at the cafes and restaurants nearby also going in to a local bookstore really made the night nicer. Just nice to digest the food.

Oh! they are also not open on Mondays~
but they are opened from 12pm -10.30pm on weekdays (Tuesdays - Friday)
and 10am -10.30pm on Saturdays, 10am - 9pm on Sundays!

Enjoy your food~
Hope you will have a good time too!~
Cheers!

A day of love~

Valentine's day a day for love and romance and..a day filled with couples all around. hahahaha!

To be honest, I have never celebrated Valentine's day in my 21 years of my life...
well not with a guy at least (cos I definitely have celebrated it with girlfriends and ice cream hahaha )

Well.. this year was a little bit different a special someone brought me out on a date
and gave me my first bouquet of roses (heart emoticon~~)
I've never been bought out on a date on vday and surprised with flowers. so hehe

Anyways, enough about my blabbering of being in love~
So today, I'll be talking about my sweet surprise haha he brought me to
The Cheese & Chocolate Bar at The Club, which is located at the top floor of MBS.
and..it was my first time there.. so i was pretty amazed by the view at the top floor..
and how windy it was at night.

My review on the food was okay?
It's kinda important that you like chocolate to go for a chocolate buffet.
If not it'll be a waste of money.. cos pretty much almost everything sweet was made of chocolate.

So here goes the pictures~ (sorry if they seem blur)
And i didn't really get all the food. Cos I couldn't wait to dig it as well..

I love how girls a gifted a rose at the door when they come in, adds to the awww feeling hahaha
oh and gingerbread cookies  for each of us ^^

Chocolate Creme Brulee

Warm chocolate lava cake &
Chocolate mousse in waffle

Chocolate shots

Chocolate tart

Salted caramel nougat cake

Raspberry Earl Gray Mousse Cake

Chocolate dipped straberries

Passion fruit panna cotta

The warm lava cake oozing yummy chocolate

The view at night~

There were some hits and misses on the dessert..
but most of them tasted pretty okay~
My fav was the chocolate lava cake and the earl gray mousse cake.
There was also a cheese bar and bread, and fruits and of course...
wine was served, red wine and white wine...which was okay~
They also served hot chocolate and tea or coffee.
The service is really good.. so was the company
The view and ambience was great, perfect place for a celebration.

I really enjoyed my night. Thank you my valentine.

Cheers,
-Cheris :)

Holidays are here!

My holidays are finally here!
School has been excruciatingly stressful and busy. Considering how a semester of mine is 4 months.
I literally have no idea how I got through it.
But I must say, i give props to those that went though their degree and furthered their studies to masters.
You guys~ *two thumbs up*

Studying is not easy.. it really isn't
Considering how long a break I took before i decided it was time to enroll for college,
I really needed it. hahahaha!
Plus that was only my diploma!

Anyway I'm just glad I'm done with my exams..
Now.. just praying that I pass for my papers.. *fingers crossed*

So with the 2 weeks break I have before the start of a new semester,
I'll try and update more often!
will be uploading a post on v-day as soon as well!! ^^

Cheers~

Zoukout baby~

 ZOUKOUT!
The biggest event of the year.. well at least for me~
I've waited a full year for this day! 13 & 14 Dec 2013

Well if you don't know what Zoukout (click for more info~) is, it is actually a Dance Music Festival that happens every year at Sentosa. DJs from all over the world are invited to this event to spin~~ and we party out to their awesome mixes.

So this year, there were DJs like, Zedd, Afrojack, Dash Berlin, Krewella, Alesso, Example etc...
This year's line up of DJs was A.W.E.S.O.M.E. like really.
My favourite DJ Zedd was coming!! You could imagine the joy I had.. One of my dreams was just to hear him spin live and my only chance was to go to the US to do that.. and I when I heard that he was coming here for Zoukout, I was SO going no matter what.

So you would imagine that since its sort of kinda like a concert, the only thing that you need to get was tickets to Zoukout. But no.. hahaha! When my friends and I party we go all the way.. especially for Zoukout.
We booked a hotel room and even got new outfits just for that 2 days.. it was kinda like a huge event for us..
I think each of us spent around SGD$250? (well I kinda spent at least $300.. hotel wasn't cheap hahahaha)

We stayed at Festive hotel for 3 days and 2 nights think we paid about a 100plus each (can't really remember. sorry :x)
Had about 4-5 bottles of alcohol and mixers as well. We like to drink.. well drinking with friends is always fun. ^^

So I'll just let the photos speak first :D

Our Hotel room! ^^

If you're wondering why we picked Festive hotel, the room may only have one king sized bed and a single upper deck bed.
But the sofa was actually a pull out bed too, so we had more than enough place to sleep for 5 people.

DAY 1!

The two SISTERS I love 

That's for the first day of photos ( in the hotel ).. we didn't take photos that night.. don't know why either haha (^v^)'

Anyway the first day ended at about 5 or 6am ? We didn't stay until it ended. 

Seeing how the first day was on a Friday and most of us had work and school earlier that day. By the time it was 3 am we were tired. Hahahaha

What was worse, was that tram service back to the hotel was unavailable...

So we had to walk all the way back to our hotel which was 2 stops away from the beach (XoX). I almost died hahaha was wayyy too tiring.

But I must say the first day was not bad.. (;

DAY 2!
Honestly speaking after a whole night of partying like mad and having so much fun jumping, screaming and dancing.
I woke up with total sleep deprivation just felt so tired the whole day didn't want to do anything else but sleep and lie on the bed and not move...
but of course time flew by reallll quick and my friends started arriving at the hotel room..
Soon enough it was time to party it up again!
PS: alil tip~ go early to get your wrist band so you don't have to queue for entry when you are tipsy.

What's a gathering with out photos right? (;

Hi to (from left), Lai Guan, Eunice, Jasper, Lynette and Daren

Well all in all, zoukout day 2 was one of the best nights of my life.. seriously.
The crowd was crazy but the music was so darn good!
It'll be a memory that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
I'm already looking forward to the one this year! hahahaha!!

If you are in to partying and EDM/ house music..
give this year's Zoukout a shot.. you might enjoy it as much as I did.
