TCC Bugis Junction

Hello, TCC Bugis Junction ~ We're back again! This time, we're here to utilize Drexler's birthday e-voucher.

We choose this location as it's centralized for everyone of us cos we're coming from different directions. Sam & Theresa was already there when I reached and they have already ordered drinks & appetizers.

Sam's Raspberry Orange Iced Tea $7 

Kimchi Prawn Salad $13 - Kimchi prawn is not too spicy & when paired with pickle & tomato, it gives the tangy feeling. Greens at the side are fresh too

Shrimp Martini $11.80 - This has not fail us so far!

Bisque of Forest Mushroom Soup $10 - No complains from Theresa, so it should be good

I had New England Clam Chowder $10 - Not too creamy & texture is just right. Generous serving of clams & bits of ham too. However, the garlic loaf than pair with it is a little hard

Potato Wedges w/ Melted Cheese Dip $9.90 - The normal potato wedges that is available anywhere & the cheese dip is a little dilute

haha... check out how Theresa snap picture of the Potato Wedges!

Peachy Passion Tea Freeze $7.40

Ribeye Steak $32

I actually asked for the steak to be done in "medium rare", but when this is how it is being served. This definitely ain't "medium rare", so I approached the staff & they were quick enough to rectify the problem & get it re-do 

Wafu Beef Spaghetti $20.50 - The only complain from Drexler is thet the beef is not being nicely cut into pieces

Ocean Sur'fin $23 - Sam & Theresa love this dish & they polish it off within minutes

My steak finally came & it's still not done to my desired "medium rare", but at least better than the previous one. Anyway, too hungry to ask them to re-do again, so just eat lah

Crimson Duet $7.80 - still quite like this drink of rose & strawberry freeze


Theresa suggested to Drexler to try Dark Devotion $11.80 & yes, no complains from him

A little hiccup on our food & service rendered today, but overall dining experience still acceptable. However, we still prefer the branch at Vivo cos the table & chairs are more appropriate for dinner. Chairs here are slightly low.

Keeren's 4th Birthday

Keeren is 4! 

Kogu & Jenny invited us over for a mini-celebration with their family. It was meant to be a family event but Keeren specifically wanted to invite us, the A-Team members 



His number Idol is Mickey Mouse, but after an outing to Universal Studios Singapore, he has a new Idol - Elmo. So this year's theme is Elmo/ Sesame Street

Jenny catered a mini buffet for her family while Kogu's mum cooked some Indian dishes for his family

Heeran came out to entertain us cos Keeren is super busy!

Summer wanted a picture with Heeran but he turned away. Fizah sitting at the side laughing at the funny situation.

I help to entertain Heeran while Jenny entertain the guest, but this little boy is more interested in Nizam's food

He'a an active boy! 

Mike as usual... Last man eating!

Fizah needs to catch her flight to Seoul for Manager's Convention in a few hours' time & Prakash needs to catch his flight early morning, so they left before the cake cutting

Keeran's cute Elmo cake which he specifically requested for it

So cute! Even the candles are Sesame Street themed

The family of 4

Kogu puts 4 big candles instead of small ones! 

Kogu also bought another cake for all the mummies in the house as belated Mother's Day celebration


All the mummies in the house

The birthday boy is super duper excited in cutting the cake cos he requested for a Rainbow Cake & he's wondering if his mummy gets him an ordinary cake or a rainbow cake!

Wah.. It's really a Rainbow cake! 

Jenny grant Keeran's wish on having an Elmo Rainbow Birthday cake! 

Cake was ordered from My Fat Lady. While it looks impressive, it doesn't taste good. It taste bland, almost tasteless. Texture is hard & dry. 

However, what's important is the birthday boy is happy =)

Birthday boy enjoying his Rainbow Cake


As usual, our day at Woodlands always ends up a game or two rounds of mahjong

Remember on my previous post, we were playing with newspaper as base? This is the reason why! This table is torn long time ago & the hole is getting bigger & more holes are appearing. We have not been playing for some time & the last piece of mahjong is stained with liquor from Kogu's cousins' drinking session. No choice but to use newspaper! 

But the newspaper starts tearing after 1 game! Haha... 

Here's few more pictures of the happy birthday boy taken with my iPhone4S

Once again, Happy 4th Birthday Keeran!

Museo, Quayside Isle

We bought a deal from Groupon ($35 instead of $48++) for Hi-Tea at Museo, Quayside Isle @ Sentosa Cove sometime back & due to the "popularity", we had to make a reservation way back in Mar'13 to secure a seat. 

Sam, Theresa & Angeline went there by cab while Evelyn & myself went there by Sentosa bus. We were sort of lost when we alight at Cove arrival. I couldn't really figure out how to get to Quayside Isle from Cove Arrival cos usually Kogu will drive us in when the ATeam goes to ONEdegree15. Anyway, Evelyn managed to figure out the way to Quayside Isle. 



Along the way, we spotted 2 peacocks (1 behind the tree) wondering freely!


Nice scenery, but weather is gloomy. There's even lighting when we're walking towards Quayside Isle from ONEdegree15! This is the view from ONEdegree15. So much have changed since I last went there! Anyway, we need to get opposite from where we are now, and it's not sheltered. So were praying it don't rain. Evelyn was sort of "running" cos she's afraid of lightning!


Yeah. Managed to get to Quayside Isle before it rains. What a relief ~


View from Quayside Isle

ok, that's me being boliao while waiting for the lift & it's taking forever!

Museo is located at level 2.


There's a few outside seating for those who prefer "extra" air


Our table. The seat is too comfy & it's quite inconvenient if you're here for buffet. However, it's nice if you just sit here & relax over a pot of tea & some light snacks


Normal seating. We actually requested to be seated here but it's reserved for a bigger group


The nice table setting


What's with the bathtub of plants huh? 


Both of us were early the restaurant is not even officially "open", so we started snapping some pictures

There isn't much choice for the buffet spread, but quality & taste of food is good.

The Salad & Soup station


A little more of salad station


Station for Main dish


Dessert & Fruits station


At $48++ (usual price), you also get to have free flow of beverages


Evelyn started eating before everyone else cos she's hungry


As for me, minestrone soup to start off the Hi-Tea


Some Salads (potato; seafood; mango & prawn), Tuna Tataki (right at the back) & Prawns. Prawns are juicy & fresh.


Main dishes includes Roast Pork; Roast Beef; Cajun Chicken; Vegetables; Pork & Chicken Sausages; Clams & Tortilla. Every dish is good, except for the Tortilla which taste a little weird with the Smoked Turkey Ham. Roast Beef (Oops, forgot to snap a pix of it) is good. Tender & soft, done medium well. 


My (our) favorite dish has to be the Roast Pork we had a few servings of it. Tender yet crispy. The skin is so crispy I can hear the crackling sound when I bite into it!


A little more servings on the main dish

By now, you would have realize there's no sight of the teas although I mentioned its free flow. Yes! It's close to an hour since we ordered our selection of teas, but they have yet to serve us! 

We ended up getting the Ice Tea from the buffet station. 2 types of teas are available at the buffet station - Pear & Lychee. 


Lychee Tea taste blah... ...

The Pear tea taste even blah.. it has this "herbal tea" aftermath =D

heehee... We took more Roast Pork! 


Miss Alyssa enjoys the Roast Pork most! 


Dessert time!

Haha.. me & Alyssa's cute feet

Evelyn - forced a photo with Miss Alyssa

Finally after several reminders & more than an hour wait, our tea finally arrived! 


My first choice - Pomelo tea

I like the citrus taste - light & refreshing. 


Sam had French Rose Tea


Oops.. Evelyn caught taking picture of the tea


Alyssa's Steam Milk


She love the milk so much she had 3 cups of it! 


Angeline's Latte, but she says taste like Kopi-gao (Espresso)


Haha.. poor Angeline has to hold her plate so that Sam has a nicer picture of my pot of tea


Oops.. I have "mentally unsound" girlfriends who likes taking picture of food


Evelyn order Pear Tea, but somehow the tea is served with Lychee in it. She doesn't like it, so I swoop my Pomelo Tea with her.


Theresa's Chamomile Mint Tea 








A few pictures while we gossip & enjoy our tea


My second tea selection - Japanese Barley. Taste blah... Evelyn says it's very "roasted"


Anggeline's Ginger Tea is nice. Sweet & not too spicy

My 3rd pot of tea - Lemongrass. Oh.. before I forgot, every pot of tea/ drink is served with 2 pieces of biscotti






I didn't get to snap picture before I reach cos I went in by the door at level2, so here's some picture of it =)

We enjoyed the overall dining experience as the service was prompt (apart from the small hiccup initially on the waiting time of our tea) & staffs were friendly. A nice place for girlfriends to get-together for tea & girlish talks, so I reckon we might be back again

In case you have not seen my previous post, here's a few more picture taking with my iPhone4S
