Feels Like Home @ HOUSE

I HAVE DECIDED- I'm 30, so I shall just speak my mind and not go into great lengths to beat around the bush, so they say. So here's the deal, I eat like a freak at a rapid pace, and can be seen in a million places in a split milisecond. At such lightning speed that I'm living by, so should my blogs be. Swift, to the point, and very pretty xoxo

Presenting HOUSE on 8D Dempsey Hill - The menu's adorable and pretty extensive. I found Mexican, American, Italian and something-something influences which sometimes can't be seen, only tasted. My favorite is the peanut butter cake with such a gooey, crunchy texture to it, it should be slathered on everything you put your lips to.

Vintage plates, eclectic furniture, spacious surroundings, sleek bar, Turkish bath (jaw-dropper), and the romantic night sky can make for some serious merry-making with exquisite booze, velvety desserts and honest-to-goodness food. Like truffle oil fries (mmmmm...), tuna salad which smells Asian and lovin' it, dip-sters in adorable campy tin cans with toasty bread, tender medium rare steak slices which have been generously marinated and seasoned to break out into a scrumptious symphony of spicy flavors....really, you should be here.

I'm parked here almost the whole of next week. I'd be able to read off the menu in my sleep by then. The only thing missing here is a 1000-thread count bed fitted with gilded Cavalli sheets, Cleopatra pillows and a purring hairy-tailed feline in bed with me. Purrrrr....

How's that for swift-ness?...Haiyah, give me some time lah. Still a little chong hey (long-winded)

Steak On This

I just had an epiphany…a burger is never just a burger. Your life can revolve around this carbo-laden rotund edible. For example, if I’m treating myself to one of ‘dem things, I’d work out in the morning, indulge in a scrumptious slab of beef, pile on the shredded coleslaw and maybe steal a Cajun potato wedge or two, then go vegan till my next burger craving or till I’m sick of legume shakes. No regrets, Scooby-dooby’s.

Apparently GQ reinforced this revelation of mine and even expounded on it by coming up with the top 20 burgers in U.S. This caused Gail, who’s Oprah’s colleague and best friend, to hit the road across interstate borders for the single purpose of engulfing in the majesty of the not-so-humble all-beef patty and entourage.

Ten thousand miles away, can Asia fire up the grill and serve up juicy, tender, flavored burgers? And throw some chunky fries on the side; slather some mayo’d coleslaw and dollops of spicy mustard for kicks?

A resounding, “Yes, Sir!”. Right here in Singapore. My favorite’s got to be Überburger’s blue tiger prawns sandwiched between freshly-made high-fibred buns. (Do you know they bake a variety of buns every two hours?)

The seafood patty gives oomph and crunch to every bite. Chopped ginger and cucumbers are refreshing additions to the patty mix. Shiok-a-doodles!

Yeah, burgers aren’t just a guy’s thing anymore. We girls love the concept of a hearty burger – glam version only please. Because what men can do, we girls make it look better. *wink*

The photo, courtesy of Überburger, features the bread winner a.k.a. 101 - wagyu beef with champagne truffle sauce. Wanna see what the blue tiger prawn burger looks like? Why not try it yourself, and send me the pictures? I might just put it up :)
