Lunch at Marché Mövenpick Restaurant @ Suntec City



3 Temasek Boulevard #01-612 - 614 Suntec Tower 3 East Wing, Singapore 038983
Tel: 6337 3134


Marche Movenpick has been a favorite go-to restaurant for me for years, since the college days (review here). Currently, they have 3 outlets across Suntec City, Vivocity and Somerset 313. Settings reminiscent of European's marketplace style, Marche serve up wholesome, hearty European fare across many stalls in the spacious restaurant itself.



How does Marche dining work? We are given a card upon entering the restaurant. When we want to make a purchase, we simply pass the card to the relevant stall to capture our purchase. At the end of the meal, the card is checked at the cashier's where we make payment before exiting. Simple and fuss-free, the perfect place for friends or colleagues to dine together without worrying about who settles the bill first.



My all-time favorite is the Rosti from the Swiss stall. Besides the usual sour cream topping, one can now have choices of fried eggs, gravlax salmon, veal sausage or pork schnitzel etc to add on to the roti.



Seafood is another one of my favorite stations. It is also the Spanish station, where delicious Seafood Paella can be found. I chose a Calamari (SGD$14.90) dish instead, but was a little disappointed because I hoped it would be battered coating instead of fritter-style coating.





Other items include Pasta and Pizza from the Italian station; another station serves up delicious Crepes with fillings of your choice.




Healthier choices would be Salads and Fruit Juices to choose from. There is also a station serving Beer on tap or Cocktails.



Finally, Desserts - where a lovely array of cakes, tarts and pastries tempt deliciously. The service crew would also go around the restaurant with carts pedaling the dessert items, so you don't even need to walk to the desserts counter.

Overall, we still enjoy dining at Marche Movenpick, and would like to try more of their items with each visit.

Review on Bio-Essence 24K Bio-Gold Rose Gold Water



Brand: Bio-Essence
Product: 24K Bio-Gold Rose Gold Water
Price: SGD$36.00
Volume: 100ml




It was love at first sight when I set eyes on Bio-Essence 24K Bio-Gold Rose Gold Water, an utterly stunning rose water essence with tiny gold flakes filling up the entire bottle like stars in sunset skies.



When I opened the lid, the aromatic rose scent flirted with my nostrils and I could not help taking in a few more sniffs. The scent was so lovely, it made me excited to want to use it quickly.




I poured some onto my palm and was amazed to see tiny gold flakes falling onto my palm. I patted the lovely lightweight essence onto my face, letting the quality ingredients work their miracles.




The Japanese rose extract, Eijitsu, hydrates skin and keeps it moisturised. 24K bio-gold provides skin with protection against free radicals.



All in all, this beautiful product helps skin to tighten pores, moisturize, smoothening and delay signs of aging. Yes, my skin feels simple and hydrated throughout the day, so I highly recommend this skincare regime.

Dinner at Blooie's Roadhouse @ Rail Mall, Bukit Timah



426 / 428 Upper Bukit Timah Road, Rail Mall, Singapore 678053
Tel: 6766 1588




I was finally meeting *N for catching up, somewhere near our current residences, so we decided on Blooie's Roadhouse, a vibrant bistro bar concept serving Western dishes and drinks. They currently have 2 outlets - one at Upper Bukit Timah and one at Siglap area.




I loved the dim, pub-like setting. Service varied from average to excellent, depending on which crew member served us. Menu comprised pub grub such as Calamari, New Zealand Mussels, Chicken Wings, Pork Knuckle, Burgers, Pasta, Pizzas, etc. To be honest, everything looked tempting to us.




Appetizer was a plate of BBQ Chicken Wings (SGD$15.90), good serving of 4 whole wings, halved for us. We chose the Spicy BBQ sauce which gave the tender, moistened chicken wings a lovely fiery kick.





Then we had Fish & Chips (SGD$18.80), a huge, crispy slab of sweet-fleshed fish deep-fried to a gorgeous golden hue. Served on the sides were fries and coleslaw.




For drinks, we had rounds of San Miguel Light (SGD$8.80), Heineken (SGD$10.80), and Mojito (SGD$9.60) - happy hour pricing 6.00pm to 8.00pm.

Overall dining and chilling experience here at Blooie's Roadhouse was enjoyable; relaxed vibes with unpretentious but tasty food, as well as good variety of drinks.
