Singapore, where to eat, drink and host

Image
I will take a different take on where to eat, drink and host your friends or relatives .... SG has plenty of hang out places and serve good drink. Market is dominated by some local beer Tiger and other imported beers such as Guinness, Asahi and others.  Why do you make social events?  To have a drink after a tough work day?  To celebrate some good things happening with your colleagues or friends? To host your friends and relatives who are visiting SG?  that means, you also need decent food to taste ! Hence, I will list down some good places to have nice food and some drink !!! They are not ranked in any order, but covers all sides of Singapore Island. 1)  BluJaz  , Bugis: Located at the commercial hub, they serve Italian food & Indian food. There is live music from 8pm. Pls get inside the pub or get the window seat behind the Live music gallery else you can't listen !! It is normally a crowded place during Fri and Sat. Do reserve and go.  2)  ...

Meatless, fusion food at Millenia Walk

Image
I landed up at Elemen at Millenia Walk. My friend invited me for dinner.. glanced the portal before and saw some pics.. Liked it., so I said, lets go. But I didnt see the 8 course option till I opened the menu card !!! My friend said, you should go for the full dinner and can help with sharing some of my food - which is a no brainer for me. I ordered it. Appetiser and the bread was very good. My guess the middle portion item had sesame and it was bit sour - but not too bad. Tomato was so tasty and soft. Bread was little herbal too.  I opted for Rojak fruit salad - which was too good - pineapple and dragon fruit was mouth watering and the fried or crispy item was so tempting...  Soup - was not very hot... in fact little less than room temperature.... but had little bit of rice and pepper and very tasty. They also served Apple Cider before serving mains - like a shot drink. Hope the readers know how to drink apple cider carefully as ...
