Rooftop @ Indochine by Supertree

During the visit of my sister, I brought her to drink at a rather fancy place.
The view was quite breathtaking.
We went to the rooftop at Indochine, in Gardens by the Bay.


Here is my sister again

I was here before with my friend last time
as you can see here in this post
That time, I made a reservation at the rooftop too but unfortunately it rained,
thus, we could not go to the rooftop.
Thankfully, weather was fine during the night when my sister was here

The entrance fee for the rooftop was SD 18/pax with complimentary of 1 house drink each

These are just glimpse of the view from above

These are what we had
the complimentary gin with sprite
I would have gotten a gin tonic but
it was officially my sister's first time drinking so sprite would be a lighter choice for her
Gin and Sprite
Spanish Fly
My sister with her Banana Dream
Then she wanted to try a shooter
Her first, shooter
The Buttery Nipple 
My sister with her-buttery-nipple
 It was rather awkward ordering this from the waiter
What's worse is he didn't get it the first time, so I had to repeat out loud
He still didn't get it, I just pointed it out from the menu
We just laughed about it after that.
 The last drink we had was a Bailey's Shake
Bailey's Shake
The bar snacks
The deep fried squid
It was quite tasty
The salted egg yolk silver fish strips

 This was surprisingly very oily compared to the squid
We did not enjoyed much of this because there were barely any fish meat under that batter
and all we could taste was the oil

For dessert..take away cheese cakes from Au Chocolat 
where we had our late lunch earlier on that day
Good thing they were still 'looking good'
after a whole day of walking, bouncing, swinging around

The Dutch Apple Cheese Cake
The Try Me Cheese Cake
Both of them looked appealing.
even though we were rather full at that moment,
We couldn't just stare at it without taking a bite
One thing led to another, it had to be eaten somehow
What better place than enjoying it on a rooftop on a fine evening
It tasted delicious.
I would say that the Try Me cheesecake tasted more of a regular cheesecake with a mocha base
But it was good and moist
The Dutch apple Cheese cake was equally heavenly.

If I may go on..
I would like to share a little on what we had earlier on at Au chocolat
which was also not my first time visit there
I went there again with my sister mainly to let her try the Red Velvet
which I thought was the best I had so far
So here were our appetizer, main course and dessert




It was a fulfilling day.

Hatched @ Holland Village

It has been awhile since I last went on a food hunt. 
Ladies and gentlemen, i give you..Hatched.

A restaurant selling eggs in many forms. Great place to hang out, great place for breakfast, brunch, tea time, and even dinner. My food hunting culprit is once again my lovely sister, Chia Mei, who came visiting a few days.

Before I go on, I would like to comment on the staff who operates the phone calls. He was very misleading in giving directions. At the Holland Village mrt, there are 3 exits, I asked for directions and which exits do I take, he told me there is only one escalator, go up and go straight and you can find it. Thus, it took us awhile to find the place. So to make things easier, EXIT B people, up the escalator, then go straight, it's on your left among the row of shops.
Then I asked if I gotta make any reservations, he said no, just walk in. When we arrived, the place was packed! Thankfully, there was a small table for 2 where a kind uncle staff sat us.

This is how it looks like from the outside.





I liked the simple decor and the toy displays. It gives a really homey and carefree environment.





The cute salt and pepper shaker which caught my sister's attention
The cute menu as shown on their website here.

These are what we ordered.
Sleepover Hatched Special, SD 12
 
Bananas and bacons..who knew right, it was a great combination.
Drizzle some maple syrup and it's perfect.
Smoked Royale, SD 13 (one portion)
Sir Benedict, SD 13 (one portion)
 Eggs poached well
Plus the sauce, the english muffins and the egg yolk, it ain't dry and it tasted good.
Well done.
F.T.P, SD 12
 
Another 'dessert' that we ordered.
French toast and peaches with cheese.
Mmmm....Good good.
Only the walnuts, I didn't think it matched quite well with it.

Overall:
Service: Great service, friendly staff
Food: Good, not dry, filling.
Price: Slightly expensive for it's portion.

I would come again.
