Visited on 14th June and 20th Sep 2014 (Sat). Beer Market is not those usual pubs or bars we've seen anywhere. For those who have never been to Beer Market, you would be surprised to see many TV screens around the bar that show the prices of the beer on the Beer Market Exchange (BMX). Beer Market is the perfect blend of good quality food, music and sports whereby the prices of the beverages move according to demand, creating an exciting atmosphere and interactive experience. Obviously, the concept of Beer Market was inspired by the dynamics of the stock exchange. Buy Low Drink High! Beer Market will get you high on food and beer!

Note: If a brand goes for 30 minutes without a buyer, the price will start to slide.

When the price drops (Red), you know it's time to buy. 

When the price goes up (Green), you might want to consider other brands. Prices bottom out when they are in (White)

Almost all the beers are listed on BMX and the prices are updated every half an hour. Act fast to order your favourite brew before the trading period closed otherwise prices of popular brews will keep go up. In short, the more popular the brew, the higher the price! So if you do not want to pay so much more, why not grab this chance to try those uncommon beer that you never had before at a much lower price... (See photo below - The screen will start to countdown the time left before the trading period closed)  It's a fun experience isn't it?

Sofas are for members only. For the general public, a minimum purchase of at least 2 bottles of hard liquor such as (Whiskey or vodka) is needed...

Sports Bar High Table! (Our Favourite Spot to watch football, play darts and pool)

You can find these darts machine and the pool table below at the sports bar! The smoking room is at the left side of these darts machine. 

Beer Market not only sell different types of alcohol, i'm impressed that they have quite an extensive food menu as well! I will try one by one on my each visit and update here!

They have very unique and interesting pizza creations here that you must try - Singaporeans' favourite food on a pizza! Chicken Rice Pizza ($17.90) and Salted Egg Seafood Pizza ($21.90) only at Beer Market! Started to drool already? 

Chicken Rice Pizza ($17.90+)

The taste was exceptional except the chicken was a tad tough. The pizza comes with 8 slices. I still preferred the salted egg seafood pizza below!

Salted Egg Seafood Pizza ($21.90+)

Wow this pizza is awesome! First time having crabmeat, tiger prawns, and fish chunks on a salted egg yolk base. Generous serving of the seafood items. Of course it tasted salty and fantastic with the yummy fresh seafood ingredients on a crispy thin crust. Must Try!!!!!

Mojito Cocktail at $15+ and Hoegarden Bottle at $9.30+

Managed to buy Erdinger Weisse Pint at $13.10+ when the price is low! Shirley Temple at $10+..

There is live band here as well! Very nice vocal from the female singer!

You will see families with kids in this pub as well... LoL

The service here was good. Beer Market definitely is an awesome place to chill out with friends, with nice food as well as a great place to watch football! Of course this place will become my favourite hangouts from now on! :-)

Afternoon Tea at Lobby Bar (39 Scotts Road - Sheraton Towers Singapore) Reservation: 6839 5625

Visited on 8 June 2014 (Sun).  Afternoon Tea is available from 2-5pm daily except Public Holidays and Festive.

(3 Tier Stand + Only 1 Complimentary Coffee/Tea)

Current Promotion: 1 For 1 for Citibank cards till end of July 2014 - Call to check first!

Price: $33++ per person = Total bill of $38.84 for 2 pax (1 For 1 - Items are non-refillable)

The service here was quite bad. No smile from the waitress and they seemed impatient though i know they were busy. This place was quite crowded on weekends, didn't feel relax at all (Perhaps we were given the seats near their entrance). The round table was super small and cramped with just a 3 Tier Stand + 1 Pot of Tea and 1 Coffee.

Lobby Bar @Sheraton offers 2 types of afternoon tea:

1) Japanese Afternoon Tea at $39++ per person

2) English Afternoon Tea at $33++ per person.

This is the first time i'm having tea from Mackwoods! Though this brand of tea is not popular in Singapore hotels but i love it, the tea is very fine, not too strong - Love the Chamomile! As for the coffee, my partner told me this was 1 of the worst coffee he had in hotels...

The Chamomile tea taste great with honey! I love places that provide a small bottle of honey for tea..

Top Tier: Cranberry Scones

Though the appearance of the scones doesn't look great, but surprisingly the scones tasted very nice with their clotted cream, 1 of the best clotted cream i've had so far!

Second Tier: Rasberry Tart, Chocolate Tart, Cheese Cake, Macaroon, Chocolate Savouri

I like the rasberry and chocolate tart but the rest were average... Don't expect premium quality of desserts here as they were just acceptable standard.

Bottom Tier: Assorted Sandwiches

 This bottom tier was the most disappointing part. None of them worth trying. 

Only Recommended if there is Credit Card 1 For 1 Promotion otherwise please find better places for afternoon tea..

Was disappointed there is no complimentary carpark coupon, only 1 time of coffee/tea, food very average, poor service. Seriously there is nothing that can attract me to come back...

Lunch at Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck (8 Marina View - Asia Square Tower 1, #02-08/09/10) Reservation: 6636 1868

Visited on 7 June 2014 (Sat).  Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck is well-known for roasting the peking duck to perfection. But we did not order peking duck that day so just try some simple dishes to see how is their standard of the food. 

Love this row of cosy settee corner ambience..

Soup of the Day - Xiang Luo Doon Chicken Soup ($15++)

This soup is my all time favourite though the standard has dropped compared to 2013. The soup was very tasty but not thick enough. I have no idea what is xiang luo and i've asked one of the waitress, but she doesn't know how to explain to me. Anyway the xiang luo meat was too big and tough that was difficult to chew, this is the most disappointing part. The chicken was tender. So overall this soup was still quite ok to order.

Sauteed Diced Chicken with Dried Chillies ($14++ for Small)

The diced chicken was tender and the sauce was just right, not too sour not too sweet but it was totally not spicy which was a tad disappointing. A perfect dish of Gong Bao should be able to taste some sweetness + sourness + some spiciness.

Grilled Cod Fish Fillet with Sauce ($12++ per pax)

This grilled cod fish was alright but the sauce was very bland so it doesn't taste great. 

Steamed Cod Fish Fillet with Chilli ($28++ for Small)

This was another disappointing dish as well. Though we ordered cod fish with chilli but people would usually thought it's the sauce in chillli and no one would expect it was full of sliced chilli.. Look carefully, it's not just a few slices, its the whole plate was full of sliced chilli! The staff should have told us in advance, otherwise we wouldn't have ordered this dish waste $$... 

Mango Pudding and Mango Pomelo Sago

Lastly, the desserts were disappointing as well... The mango sago was too sour that i just don't feel like to consume anymore. Mango pudding was average.


Overall experience: A pretty restaurant with average food and dessert quality. (What a pity)

Service was average. They will only be friendly to those regular customers and they will all stand there talking and laughing with the regular customers, affected those who want to have a quiet lunch. 


The expensive prices here is not on par with the quality of the food.

British Colonial Weekend Afternoon Tea at Cassia (Capella Singapore - 1 The Knolls, Level 3, Sentosa Island) Reservation: 6591 5045

It's such a hassle to make reservation through phone - Book now through Chope for Instant Reservations!

Visited on 31 May 2014 (Sat).  Weekend Afternoon Tea is available from 3-5pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays. 

(3 Tier Stand + Complimentary Free Flow of Tea)

Price: $39.90++ per person  (Items are non-refillable)

Cassia is a modern chinese restaurant in a colonial building that reflects a sophisticated interior with lush fabrics and a unique blend of warm and cool tones. 

Cassia offers both Asian and Western type of afternoon tea (Dim Sum Afternoon Tea and English Afternoon Tea) so you can have the chance to try out 2 different types of high tea. (This only applies to Weekend)

We chose to have the English Afternoon Tea this round at Cassia and will definitely be back again to try the Dim Sum Afternoon Tea. 

Capella Singapore

Quiet and Beautiful Capella in a colonial building

The vibrant lobby to Cassia upstairs. The aircon here is much cooling than Cassia.. 

If there is no one at the reception here, take the flight of stairs up to Cassia on the right..

This is what you will see when you first enter the restaurant...Modern Oriental settings ...

Love this elegant seat so much!

The seating at Cassia is very nice but they're too low and a bit cramp under the table so not very comfy to sit long if 2 persons sit at the sofa together.

Love the relax and cosy ambience here!

There's a small private dining room behind this partition.

And this is how it looks like - Intimate 6-seater dining...

White Tea (Aromatized tea with Iris, Blue Lily and Orange Blossom) and Marco Polo (Scented black tea with Lychee and Rose)

Do note that the tea is refillable and they do not serve tea in a pot here. But the staff will take note of every table and come to refill your cup of tea regularly. We chose the White Tea (Aromatized tea with Iris, Blue Lily and Orange Blossom) and Marco Polo (Scented black tea with Lychee and Rose). The white tea tastes lighter with orange scent while the marco polo tea is slightly stronger with rose scent and we both preferred the Marco Polo.. :)

English Afternoon Tea

They served the clotted cream and jam for the scone with some strawberries..

Top Tier: From left to right - Horseradish Salmon Sandwich with Salmon Caviar (My Most Favourite!), Egg Croissant Toast, Salmon Burrito with Olive Oil Caviar, Cream Cheese with Pesto, Fresh Tomato & Cheese Lavosh

Second Tier: From left to right: Passion Fruit Macaroon, Cranberry Scone, Green Tea Pound Cake (My Most Favourite -  It was very aromatic!)

Bottom Tier: From left to right: Lemon Tart Meringue (My Most Favourite!) , Chocolate Pastry Cream Eclair, Fruit Tart, Opera Cake

Oriental Dim Sum Afternoon Tea

I have to rave about the English Afternoon Tea here - This was one of the BEST that we had! We enjoyed every single item as they were all very high quality, really nothing to complain about. 

Just that we were a little unhappy about their service at the initial stage - We were the first to arrive and order for the afternoon tea before the next 2 tables arrived but we were the last to receive the 3-tier set which made us feel we were treated unfairly. Other than this incident, the service was very good, our tea was refilled regularly.

Remember to leave the restaurant by this outdoor terrace to overlook verdant gardens and the distant city.

*Highly Recommended*
