Mystery Makan: Bodacious Bar & Bistro

Sunday, 20 Sep 2015 by Jacelyn No Comments

I haven’t been blogging about Mystery Makan for the longest time, since last year I think oops! bigsmile It was my turn to bring the mystery makan girls to Bodacious Bar & Bistro for brunch! It was located in a quiet location at Biopolis Street, a tad too far for the easties lol! tongue But this cafe is too pretty to be missed!

The cafe has a modern industrial design which is pretty popular these days. Serving all day breakfast, the menu is pretty simple and wallet-friendly.

A cup of mocha for me, ok but not aromatic enough. Coffee in Singapore definitely can’t be compared to Australia’s. sad

The Fatty Duck Confit ordered by Esther was so nicely presented. The skin was marvelously light, crispy and the duck meat has a tender bite to it. It has a balanced amount of fat without being too cloying.

BFF ordered the Steak which was nicely grilled on the outside and nice & tender on the inside. I think I can have steak everyday! smile

Fidelis and I ordered the Pulled Pork Burger where the lean meat was stripped and coated with citrus spicy apple BBQ sauce, paired with fresh greens. I think they can do better with the buns which are too plain.

Truffle Fries, too ordinary and nothing special.

Churros! A tad too oily for me.

My favourite photo with the girls! heart

Mystery Makan: Table Manners

Wednesday, 19 Jun 2013 by Jacelyn No Comments

Way backdated for our mystery makan posts! tongue This happened eons ago when it was my turn to bring the girls for makan. Check out our previous mystery makan sessions! Love this idea started by BFF! smile

Jacelyn – Nanjya Monjya, Box n Sticks, Queens Dessert Cafe & Bistro
Nadia – With a Pinch of Salt, Tea Cosy, Old School Delights
Esther – Porn’s, Ardent’s CafeBar
Fidelis – Barracks, Epicurious

I reckon Changi City Point would be a good place to meet since the four of us stay in the east. I happened to know about Table Manners and made reservations for dinner!

I love the minimalistic decor of the restaurant, very simple and chic. It got so much hype online but I was kinda disappointed with the food, particularly the mains. Bad choice.

Three Little Pigs
[rate 1.5]

Literally. Both BFF and I chose this dish. We opted out of the mashed potato cos we were on low carb diet then. It took me around 10 bites to finish everything and still feel extremely hungry lol. Pathetic portion. Have I mentioned it’s S$16 for this?! -___-

Fidel’s Mary’s Little Lamb.

Esther’s Arcadian Chicken.

According to the two ladies, their dishes were delicious. iSuay.

Thankfully, the desserts sorta made up for the horrible dinner. We had Creme Brulee, Sea Salt Chocolate Caramel Tart, Lemon Cheesecake and Strawberry Shortcake. Desserts make me happy. smile

Hello, you delicious thing. smile

With my lovely ladies in my uber long hair hahaha! tongue

Mystery Makan: Ardent’s CafeBar (Closed)

Sunday, 7 Oct 2012 by Jacelyn No Comments

Update (15 May 2013): Ardent’s CafeBar has ceased operations.

It was Esther’s turn to plan for Mystery Makan! Check out our previous mystery makan sessions!

Pretty interior of the cafebar. smile

Eggs Blackstone
Two eggs poached on a toasted English muffin with grilled bacon and hollandaise sauce

I have to say the hollandaise sauce was fab! It has a light lemony taste, very refreshing and unique!

Eggs Benedict
Two eggs poached on a toasted English muffin with honey baked ham and hollandaise sauce

Pretty similar to Eggs Blackstone but it was ham instead of bacon.

Ardent’s Freestyle

Their big breakfast where you get to mix and match 5 items from the menu according to your preference. =)

Golden Shower

Okay, I had to write about this. According to BFF, Golden Shower is a practice of urinating on another person for sexual pleasure. *HORRIFIED* Esther’s friend had ordered the drink without knowing LOLOLOL! We all had a good laugh! Needless to say, the drink was left untouched hahaha! Though I’m shocked that they would actually use this name.

We went outside to take some pictures. Very pretty place! =)

Me and silly Boss on the garden swing! <3

With the girls! smile

BFF and I! =)

Here’s my outfit of the day! smile

She had given us a dress code – Retro. Don’t really know what to wear, so decided to go with bright and pop colors. smile Turns out the mystery makan is at Old School Delights!

Boss and I! Not very retro hor? Hahaha! tongue

Menu on a chalkboard!

Spotted this at the entrance. Retro games and whatnot!

Anyone remembers Happy Family? Used to play this and Old Maid, zero point, hopscotch and the list goes on! Proud to be an 80’s baby. =D

Very cute mural on the wall. Lolol “All the kaypohs”. How true!

Menu comes in the form of a school notebook.

Retro aluminium cup!

We wrote our orders on a whiteboard!

Here’s our fooood! We ordered nasi lemak, chicken curry, mee siam, laksa, kueh pie tee, iced milo and barley with lime. Nobody wanted to eat the kueh pie tee I ordered lol! =(

One last photo before we left the cafe. Thanks BFF for this mystery makan, brought back lots of childhood memories! =)

Was extremely elated when I found this cafe located at Sentosa Boardwalk! I knew I had to bring the girls here for our mystery makan, the panoramic view of the bay is amazing.
