Fashion On Your Plate

Have you been to Brown Sugar? It was my first time last week. It's in Stardus Clubhouse. A frosted door claims its name to makan fame, which I easily walked pass unknowingly, ending up at the end of the corridor. I found myself in the communal bathroom. Where was the bistro anyway?

I backed up a number of steps and ah ha! Found the frosted door and the not-so-conspicuous Brown Sugar logo smiling at me. It's not a very big space but I quickly nestled myself against

the soft couch and comfy cushions. If not for my friends' arrival to the table, I would have taken a well-sought-after snooze. Very tired that evening, man.

We ordered a sea of stuff, much to my delight! And everything looked gorgeous! (best said with a posh British accent)

Each plate had an equally gorgeous title attached to them too...hmmmmmmm...

Deconstructed apple salad with walnuts, Wagyu beef burger with tossed salad, fresh cod with slim-wedge fries, aglio olio made friendly with pine nuts, molten lava with Varlhona chocolate meshed with vanilla ice-cream, pear tartin paired with honey & fig ice-cream....the list goes on.

I'm gonna check out the lamb the next time I sashay my way to this Mohamed Sultan 'do. If they do good lamb, they must be good. I couldn't help but compare them to Wild Rocket though. Similar genre of food and emphasis on presentation and tastes. Which one I prefer? Ssssssssh...Let me lamb it before I reveal this succulent secret.

They were all yummy-doodles and oh-so puh-ree-tee. A must-do for a cosy third date or a fun reunion with close friends or even a casual business lunch to feed the hungry client.

Fantasize with these pictures. Very gorgeous, very me ;D

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 :)
