Casa Verde

In Italian on February 5, 2012 at 5:58 pm

With my now quite swollen belly, venturing out beyond the usual comfort quarters of the eastern half of the island has been cut down to quite a minimum. However, with sis and bro-in-law out for dinner one Saturday evening, Pak Law decided to give himself a break from cooking and buy us dinner instead, so we landed ourselves an alfresco spot at Les Amis’ new joint Casa Verde at the Singapore Botanics. Having been there a week or so back for breakfast with my niece E, Pak Law must have been quite taken by the menu and the food served up at Casa Verde to warrant a second visit. I too was quite curious as it was a little strange that Les Amis, with Au Jardin already established at the Gardens,  would set up another joint at the same place.

Maison Ikkoku

There is something about Sundays and holidays that makes one crave a huge brunch. That was me a week ago, craving creamy fluffy scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, slightly greasy sausages, baked beans and warm toast. I thought of swinging by Oriole’s new roasting joint but they were closed on New Year’s Day so we ended up in the Arab Street area after recalling Chubby Hubby’s latest rave about Maison Ikkoku, a new cafe joint tucked just round the corner from Singapore’s Indie fashion lane at Haji.

Restaurant Ember

It being the first post of the new year, I decided that it would only be fitting to share with everyone the first fab meal I managed to thoroughly enjoy after coming out of about ten weeks of queasiness. For those of you who don’t already know, G and I are expecting new additions to our family so the silence here on eatgazelove was largely due to the fact that I was battling morning sickness and the onslaught of fatigue that made blogging quite a challenge after a day at work. The sickness lasted till about my tenth week which was kinda timely as G and I were planning to head out to somewhere nice to celebrate our one year’s anniversary. With all the new places sprouting about the island, we were quite spoilt for choice as to dinner venues, but we decided to head back to Ember, one of our all time favorite places, for we knew we were definitely going to be spoilt rotten with a fab meal.
