For National Museum

Visited on 24 Jan 2015 (Sat). Food For Thought is about transforming community spaces & bringing people together to enjoy Good Food for a Good Cause. They have 3 outlets (National Museum, 8 Queen Street and Botanic Gardens) 

Note: There is No 10% Service Charge!

This is the entrance for FFT @National Museum

The round marble table tops and wall mosaics remind us of the home dining tables and kopitiams we grew up with, but updated in contemporary style. I like the ambience here!

You can choose to dine at outside OR

choose to dine inside here..

 

Thick French Toast with Bacon ($10+)

The french toast was quite good - aromatic buttery taste, it taste even better with the clotted cream provided.

Basic Works ($9+)

The basic works come with scrambled eggs, bacon & butter brioche. As you can see, the scrambled eggs were dry and way too over-cooked, so was quite disappointed in this. I like the toasted butter brioche and bacon. 

Cafe Latte ($5+) and Add on "A Cup of Hand-Squeezed Orange Juice at $5+ with any All day Breakfast ordered

So far this is my first time to see gula melaka sugar for coffee. It's really something different and the fragrance of the sugar was fantastic.. if you put in more, it will enhance the coffee taste. Must try!

The all day breakfast were decent and the service was ok as the place was quite empty in the morning. They also serve soups & salads, burgers, sides, main course, pasta, desserts, alcohol and non-alcohol beverages, and food for the kids! 

If you're looking for somewhere simple and quiet at a comfy kopitiam style to have a decent meal, or couples that need a quieter place to chat over meal, this is the place for you!

                       For Prive at Chijmes                             

Visited on 11 Jan 2015 (Sun). Privé is a multi-concept F&B lifestyle venue encompassing a Waterfront Bar, a Café and a modern Grill at Keppel Island. Prive has another new outlet at Chjimes as well! I'm here for the brunch at Prive Cafe. Prive cafe is a casual dining getaway and kids-friendly with indoor or outdoor seating.

Note: Please make reservation before you go to Prive as it was crowded especially weekends!

Feel so relaxed seeing the waterfront view..

As you can see from the two photos, they have a small playground for the kids to enjoy while the parents can have their meal comfortably. No wonder this is a popular place for family!

This is the interior near the entrance..

And these are the seats inside...

Caffe Latte ($5.50++)

Privé’s Ultimate Brekkie ($20++)

2 eggs (any style), I chose scrambled eggs. With a 6-inch chicken Frankfurter (Hotdog), maple-roasted bacon, roasted Roma tomato, sautéed button mushrooms, potato rosti and housemade wholemeal toast. I thought this was a little pricey for the quantity and quality. The scrambled eggs needs some improvements. It was a tad over-cooked, not melt-in-the mouth type. Overall this was a decent breakfast... 

Eggs Royale ($16++)

English muffin, smoked Norwegian salmon, poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce. This was an excellent Eggs Royale! The poached eggs were cooked to perfection, runny with very tasty smoked salmon and the hollandaise sauce was just nice. I've tried some places that the sauce was a little sour.. A Must-Order brekkie!               

Service was average with not bad food and a waterfront view.

Prive Grill

Overall the food that I've tried here were not bad, like our home-cooked food, but nothing outstanding. The dessert buffet was quite disappointing. To me, it looks better than it taste.. The quality of their desserts were mostly below average, not much variety and none of them was memorable. So with this price of $39++ per person, I felt the price is not on par with the quality. They really need to improve in their dessert quality and quantity. This explains why the restaurant was quite empty on a Saturday, only some additional walk-in and tourists came halfway during the lunch.

Service was very good. Plates were cleared regularly and water was refilled promptly too.

I really like the cosy ambience here, it's a pity that the food and desserts were not outstanding. Hope they can improve to make me go back again......
