Outdated Post: East 8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.

Kraze Burger/ L'Entrecote

2 weeks ago, YL and me went to PS La senza for the VIP 50% off . YL bought some lingeries because i highly recommend this brand! I have been buying La senza lingeries for 2 yrs+ already and it is really affordable and lasting! Even my colleagues love it! hehe. 

After shopping at La senza, we went to Kraze Burger for our late lunch. 

Garlic Idaho! 

There is a period of time when my colleagues and me takeaway this and eat in office. Just when we feel like eating this and not the burger. Hahaha! YL immediately nod her head and said 'wow nice' after taking 1st bite.

The KB Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. Burger was disappointing. Bun was pretty hard. 

While eating, i told YL that there is this steak place where the fries are free flow at suntec. :). And she said lets go. Woooo Hoooo~~~ hahaahhaa. Partly also because Suntec has quite a few shops. Shopping time! hahahaha. 

After walking ard for 2-3 hrs. We decided its time for dinner. hehe. So L'Entrecote, here we come~~~~

Escargots

Usually both of us will order this if the menu has it. The escargots here is pretty tasty. Soft and flavourful. Esp when you dip your complimentary bread with the sauce. Yummy!

Walnut Salad. 

The salad is normal. If im not wrong, it is complimentary when you order the steak. 

Classic!

They serve 2 sizes: Light - 160gm and Classic - 200gm

We were afraid that it will be alot so we ordered a classic to share. 

Doneness: Medium Rare! 

I like the steak here! YL dont really like. The only thing is the next time when i go, i will ask for the sauce to be separated. :)). Fries is good tooo.... but too much for me. 

Profiteroles! <3

I like profiteroles/puffs since im young! I still remember that i bought cream puffs from the cake shop opp  my house almost everyday~ haahahaha. thats how extreme i am when it comes to foods i like. 

The profiteroles here is with Vanilla bean ice cream top with chocolate sauce and sliced almonds. This is really satisfying and completes the meal. So pls leave some space for desserts! It really makes you smile after a meal... hehehe.

Long Weekends is OVER~~~~~ :(

I have been busy that is why there are no updates. Too many things to do. And i went KL over the long weekends, and catch Phantom of the opera yesterday in MBS!

Some updates now....
2nd Aug, we went Fordham and Grand to celebrate my boss and colleague's birthday. Nice place with good foods.

The owner, Timothy helps us decide on the appetizers.

2 types of Oysters for a start

Fresh Oysters ($28)

Oyster Escabeche ($34) - This is marinated with alcohol. We all love this! 

It is not in the menu though. Ask for it! :)) 

Other Appetizers. 

Burratina ($20)

Salmon Tartare ($17) - Quite the normal u will get out there. :) 

But it is still Nice.  

Hot Appetizers

Fried Cuttlefish ($16) - I quite like this. 

Portobello Mushroom ($18) - Very worth! Esp with the poached egg on top of the mushroom! Timothy is smart enough to bring us 2 plates of this. 

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

Main Course

Scallops with Sauteed Cauliflower ($27) - I will die for scallops. 

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

Lobster Linguine ($30) - I didnt try this, but my colleagues said it is good. 

Rangers Beef ($38) 

Glazed Chicken ($26) - To our surprise, the chicken is so tasty. Didnt expect it to be so tasty at all. hehe.

Desserts Time!

Orange Martini ($15)

French Toast ($15) - Their famous dessert

alil too sweet for me, but all of my colleagues love it.

Banana Cake ($14) - The nicest i ever had so far. 

Velvet Blanc ($14) 

Tasting plates of Dessert ($30) - It was comp from F&G. :))

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....*

After walking around for awhile, we went for Ice Cold Beers at Ice Cold Beer. LOL. okay i know, i sound stupid. 

Been some time since we last went. 

My stella. Jean had hoegaarden which i couldnt take. haha. I am allergy to hoegaarden. LOL. Hoegaarden makes me puke. yucks. 

Anyway, Jean and me feel so shiok when we took our 1st sip... ICY Cold. Still, no place can beat them! 

Their signature Chicken Wings!!! 

Actually we were still very full, but everywhere smells of chicken wings. Almost all the table ordered this. In the end, we gave up.... and order it! Really feel satisfied!
