SWEET POTATO CROQUETTES S$10.90/3s

Traditional Korean sweet potatoes fried with cheese and chorizo, topped with apple salsa for a festive taste.





Took a first bite and thought that it is still not bad looking, decided to take a shot. Eat it while its hot, quite a good appetiser.


KALBIJIM S$26.90

My favourite dish that night!

Delicious short ribs braised for 48 hours with Korean sauce, served with mashed potatoes, pickled daikon and marinated with kalbi Jim, a Korean flavouring. The short ribs is so tender i tore it apart with fork & spoon, although 1 mouth can contain the whole piece of meat, I like to take small bites. 


CHRISTMAS CITRUS SALAD S$9.90 

A colourful salad made with pomegranate, orange and mesclun, topped with citrus dressing.

I actually prefers this to their salad on their regular menu. Jacq & I love the pomegranate, they add sweetness & crunch to the salad. 


CLAY DUCK SSAM S$10.90/4s

Blending traditional Korean food with Christmas flavour, this clay duck meat is served with Korean daikon and a perilla leaf. K's favourite among all the dishes.






TURKEY RISOTTO S$26.90

Enjoy succulent turkey roulade with Korean barley risotto, topped with sauteed mushrooms and cranberries. 

The barley risotto is too cheesy for my liking or maybe barley just doesn't taste good with cheese. But I enjoyed the turkey roulade. 




CHESTNUT CRUNCHY BAR S$10.90

Chestnut mousse in a chocolate tart shell, topped with crunchy pearls and orange gel.





And when we cut it, the orange gel flows like orange juice, was a little overwhelming on the orange gel, we couldn't taste the chestnut mousse.





Lastly,Gingerbreadman for diners!! Super cute looking. 

For its regular menu, you may refer to my first post here.


As for the Sync Korean Fusion Bar, we did not forget about them! This is their Christmas menu!



Thank you SYNC for having us for the Christmas Menu tasting. 

Christmas @ O'Coffee Club

O'Coffee Club

A few weekends back, I attended O'Coffee Club's media Christmas party and I was awed by the food. 

I actually didn't remember O'Coffee Club serves any food nice enough for me to remember and dying to go back. 

This time round, a few dishes captured my heart. Can't wait to show them to you!

O'Coffee Club introduces its Christmas range of confectionery this year as part of its 2014 festive collection themed ''My Favourite Things''.

(Pardon my huge watermark, was used to my new iPhone app)




We were at the O'Coffee Club at Raffles Place and I really love this place! So bright, lighting is great and it makes my pictures looking great!






ICE EARL VANILLA S$7.90

The lovely Valerie & Sharen of O'Coffee Club mentioned that this is nice so I decided to give it a try. It was really good!






ICED LYCHEE PASSIONFRUIT TEA S$6.90

I love my 2nd drink too, so refreshing, especially after all the food I have eaten.



Sad to say, some of the food below are made specially for the party, so you don't have the honour to try them. I was glad I did.

OVEN-ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH THYME & BUTTER (Specially for this party)

I am sooooooo happy to say that this is so delicious that we had second helpings, I wished I could pack some home for dinner & supper though. Not to fret, this is available for dining in!

The desserts table!!


CHOCOLATE WONDERLAND S$53.50 NETT (approx. 1 kg)

This classic chocolate log cake starts with a luscious chocolate sponge, it is then covered with layers of indulgent dark chocolate ganache, budgets of cream cheese & crunchy praline feuilletine. 

This is a hot favourite! At the first bite, it wasn't anything awesome really. However as I fork it further up to the crunchy praline feuilletine, it was pretty good! Rocher cake anyone?





I past by the new O'Coffee Club at The Seletar Mall and saw that they were selling the log cakes in slices like these! Now you can have log cakes while dining in! How cool!


WHITE LYCHEE CHRISTMAS S$58.85 NETT (Approx. 1kg)

NEW FLAVOUR! and I love this! or you may call me a lychee fan. 

This traditional swiss roll features a light orange sponge cake layered with fragrant lychee emulsion and piquant raspberry jam. Nestled in the centre is a rose essence cream, which will definitely pique your interest.

Not only it taste great but the cross section looks pretty too.
