Outdated Post: East 8

After i tried east 8 during the restaurant week 2013, i fall in love with their foods. I highly recommend my friends to go there. So during my Xmas gathering with pri sch friends, we went there!

I made reservation before going as i was afraid they might be full. Apparently, seems like not much people go there for dinner. I believe it is because they serve tapas - when u heard tapas (yes the food portions are small). Around 8+, the crowd starts coming.

We ordered quite a few dishes, like 60% of the menu. hehe.

Complimentary of cocktails for each pax. Yellow Cap. 

Oysters! The oysters are so fresh that i dont need any tabasco or lemon. We ordered a dozen of it!

Hamachi - 1 of my fav! Must order! We ordered 2 too! 

Yuzu Soy beef - this is good as well! 

Pork Cheek. This is normal, but if you like pork cheek you can order it. It melts in your mouth! 

Prawn Paste Crispy Chicken - i dont find this special. If to compare, i'd prefer ice cold beer chicken wings. :)). 

My top fav of the night! Chilean Seabass! You must really try this, esp eating the seabass with the sauce. Im missing this now. :( 

Mussels in sake broth. You can taste the sake broth in every mussel, plus the mussels are well cooked! Other than the New Harbour Cafe beer broth clams, this is the best i tried!

Chicken Wings! At 1st bite im like nothing special, as i continue eating the flavour comes out... I like the combination of lime and chilli. I dont mind to eat this again! 

Wedges - Normal. 

Sake Sangria - cannot really taste the alcohol. hahahaha. 

Dessert time!

Chocolate Pot

Banana Fritters 

Actually the dessert is normal. :). But try eating the chocolate pot together with the banana. You wont go wrong with chocolate and banana right?! My pri sch friend likes it! hehehe. 

We like the foods! But i will go there after dinner the next time because i have pretty huge appetite. hahahhaha! I am aiming the hokkaido scallops next. hehe.

Bar Snacks in Singapore!

Are u a beer lover? Or u just love the snacks at the bar? I have friends who dont drink but they love to go to the bar, all because of  bar snacks. hahaha. Of course not all bar serves good snacks.
Today i am going to introduce you to 3 places that i patron quite frequent.

1) Ice Cold Beer
I believe alot of people know this place. Except for their icy cold beers, chicken wings can be seen on every table. Their chicken wings is Har Cheong style (Prawn Paste). The smell is totally irresistible. Even without the smell, im swallowing my saliva now just thinking of it.

Yes, this is the Chicken Wings. They have 1/2 dozen and 1 dozen.

MUST ORDER!!!

I dont used to like Stella. Recently, i began to like it.

They always have Happy Hours Promo for different beers. So go and check it up! Happy hours end at 9pm. 

Our next must order: Topshells!

Thumbs up for this! Esp the chilli, its very HOT! Those chilli lovers must try dipping ur topshells in! 

Mini Beef Burger.

Usually we order pizzas, chicken wings and topshells. This round we decided to try this. To our surprise, the beef patty is very juicy! Plus the bun smelling so good.... Totally satisfied!

Other than the above foods, their Pizza is Delicious too!! I personally like their cheese pizza. :))

2) New Harbour Cafe

This place is located at Tanjong Pagar, opp Blue Ginger. I was introduced to this cafe by my cousin.

MUST ORDER!!!

Clams in beer stock! The stock has garlic, chilli padi cooked with beer. U just feel shiok after eating this. 

Bangers and Mash. 

The mash is 1 of the best i had. Sausages are great as well. 

Hainanese Pork! 

This pork has the crispest skin, u must try if u love pork belly with crispy skin! It comes with 2 sauces, 1 is kinda of alil sweet and salt, the other one is chilli.

Chicken wings is normal. But most of the people cannot go without it. LOL!

They serve Erdinger, Guiness, Kilkenny Draft Beers. And some other bottled beers.

3) Overtime @ Holland Village

The reasons we patron here, is for the Starker Beers! Happy Hours price is cheap, $9.90 per pint!

Comes with 2 flavors - Lager and Aromatic 

My cousin n me like Starker beer. hehe. Its not easy to find... 

Topshells. Not nice. =x. 

Sauteed Mushrooms. Seriously, i can do it better. hahaha. 

Mixed Sausages Platter. Okay, this is the best! The sausages are tasty. 

They still have other snacks such as fried calamari, fried prawns etc. But we dont feel like eating fried foods.... Next time will try the fried foods. hehe. 

For starker beers, we will still go there.

The owner, Timothy helps us decide on the appetizers.

After we finished the mushroom, we asked for bread to dip the remaining sauce. This shows how much we love this dish~~~ <3

The scallops at F&G is fresh and cooked perfectly! Sauce is Great too!

3rd Aug, i met Jean for late brunch. hahaha. It was a impromptu meet up. I called her up when i was at the mrt station and asked her out. hehe. 

We decided to go MK Restaurant at 313! 

Vegetables Platter

Sliced Beef Large

Jade Noodles - i like this! because there's garlic on top of the noodles that makes it so flavorful

Crab Balls because i cannot eat prawns. :)

And of course the Duck! and Char Siew. Taste the same as Bangkok! 

Cannot really enjoy the food without the MK Sauce right! hehe. 

Both of us spent $71 for the whole meal. The portion is not big, but enough for us. No wastage, just nice. If you were to compare MK Restaurant and Mookata, of course i prefer Mookata!!!!! *Drooling now....*
