Singapore<div>Another new spot, courtesy of mom! She took me for dinner at the Goodwood Park Hotel. When we lived in Singapore, our family would frequent their Chinese restaurant Min Jiang <i>at least </i>once a month. I've never been to another one of their restaurants, so I was looking forward to this night. </div><div><br /></div><div>We went to <a href="http://www.gaia.sg/main.html">Gaia</a>, the hotel's Italian restaurant. Sooooo friggin' good! Italian food is a mainstay in our family, and I *know* if we still lived in Singapore, this would be frequented just as often as Min Jiang. Given that the atmosphere is quite formal, Gaia serves home-style fare and classic Italian cuisine. I guess I'd add "with a twist" for some items. We got an eggplant and mozzarella appetizer that came pretty dressed up - not quite how you'd see it at home. My favorites were the homey risotto (mom and I shared this for appetizer too) and my truffle pasta. When I go again, I'm getting the truffle pasta fo sho'. Mom got her sea bass and for dessert we ended with tiramisu. I definitely recommend Gaia to all of you reading this. When you make reservations, you can mention that you want to be seated in the area that resembles a garden or there's the more intimate dining room space. Mom and I sat in the dining room section... Next time, I'd like to experience the other side ;)</div><div><div><div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0360.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0360.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0365.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0365.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0367.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0367.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0369.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0369.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0370.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0370.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0371.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0371.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0372.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0372.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0374.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0374.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a></div></div></div>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-6296375500376973732012-03-05T18:07:00.005-08:002012-03-06T17:57:34.345-08:00CANTONi - Singapore<div>New spot alert! It was my first time to eat at Canton-i in Singapore. Since we stayed walking distance from Ion, mom and I found ourselves eating there on more than one occasion. Dim sum is quite popular in the Grandidge family, so mom shared with me a place that she knew I'd enjoy. Canton-i specializes in Hong Kong style cuisine and everything we ordered (which wasn't so much in fact) tasted yummeh! While waiting for our dim sum to arrive, I explored the back end of the restaurant where they had bigger tables -that were still empty- and took a few pictures. Isn't the flowered wall precious?! Our section of the restaurant was full, you can see in the pictures that every table along the wall is taken. I'll take that as a good sign :)</div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0345-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0345-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0346.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0346.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0347.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0347.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0350-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0350-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0351-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0351-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0355.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0355.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0357.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0357.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0358.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0358.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0359.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0359.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-62539852024806361712012-02-28T05:10:00.003-08:002012-03-04T01:20:31.900-08:00MAISON KAYSER PARIS -

SingaporeAnother non-newbie to the blog... Sushi Tei. My mom and I ate here for dinner on our first day (which was the same day as lunch at Marmalade). What can I say, we don't waste any time hitting up our fave spots! <div><br /></div><div>We pretty much ordered without the menu, except for the cod kaarage which I glanced at on the monthly specials page. Take note on the half dragon roll; the regular roll has 8 pieces, and the half order has a friendly 4. Our server said this was a recent addition - new to us, that's for sure. When dinner is just as wonderful as anticipated, there's not much else to ask for.<br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0325.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0325.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0326.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0326.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0327.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0327.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0328.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0328.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0329.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0329.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a></div>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-48701535994963612552012-02-20T20:18:00.004-08:002012-02-22T02:53:40.683-08:00MARMALADE PANTRY - Singapore<div><b>HELLO, SINGAPORE!</b></div><div><br /></div><div>The next few posts will be from my recent trip to Singapore. For those of you who don't know, I used to live there, so a few of these entries will be from my favorite foodie places that have already been blogged about. This first one is no exception, it's my re-visit to Marmalade Pantry after quite a few years! (I went to Singapore last year, but didn't get to eat at Marmalade on that trip)</div><div><br /></div><div>I ordered what used to be my "usual", the warm spinach salad. If all salads tasted this great, I would consider it for every lunch meal ;) Spinach, tomatoes, onions, pine nuts, bacon, poached egg and fried mozzarella - that's pretty much drool worthy for a salad in my book. My mom got a beetroot and goat cheese mix that tasted excellent as well. You don't want to feel like you're "missing out" when you order a salad, and at Marmalade it's the opposite... You almost feel like you're missing out if you <i>don't </i>get a salad! And no, I don't think I'm exaggerating here. Happy healthy salad eating, everyone!</div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0312.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0312.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0313.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0313.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0320.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0320.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0323.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0323.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0324.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0324.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-51212787063262888552012-02-09T19:48:00.000-08:002012-02-17T21:50:46.672-08:00Aha | SIEM REAP<div><b>Now, I present... our "AHA"</b></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0300-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0300-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><b>Trio Starter Plate<br /></b><div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0301-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0301-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><b>Porcini Blini w/ Truffle Mayo & Mushroom Salad</b></div><div><b><br /></b><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0302-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0302-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><b>Deep Fried Potato w/ Roasted Garlic Aioli </b></div><div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0303-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0303-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><b>Grilled Vegetables Terrine w/ Romesco Sauce</b></div><div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0304-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0304-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><b>Yellow Curry Scented Grouper w/ Cauliflower & Tamarind Jam</b></div><div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0305-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0305-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><b>Steamed Bar Fish w/ Fresh Rice Noodle, Soy & Ginger</b></div><div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0306-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0306-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><b>Tuna Tartar w/ Green Mango Dressing & Crispy Sticky Rice</b></div><div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0307-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0307-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a></div><div><b>Roasted King Tiger Prawn Spaghetti w/ Sweet Corn & Zucchini Sauce</b></div>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-29062429287851842542012-02-07T17:58:00.000-08:002012-02-13T18:04:44.817-08:00Aha | SIEM REAP<div>I'm a little sad that my Cambodia posts are coming to an end! Even though the trip is over, I was re-living it through my blog entries... Aileen and I ate at AHA on my last night in Siem Reap. We took our time, ordered wine, and recapped the trip over our flavorful (Khmer + Western) food. It's owned by the same people as Hotel de la Paix, but AHA is tucked away in one of the main alley's of the old market area, which is just nearby. I'd suggest it as an alternative to eating at the hotel; same quality in food, service and atmosphere. We sat outside of the modern, tapas meets wine bar concept. We learned that AHA is Khmer for "food." </div><div><br /></div><div>*I've just decided that I will share the restaurant pictures first, and post our dinner in the next entry. Enjoy!</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0296-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0296-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0295-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0295-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0283-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0283-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0286-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0286-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0285-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0285-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0297-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0297-1.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-63352728084934150962012-02-04T18:55:00.000-08:002012-02-09T17:19:11.592-08:00Cafe de la Paix | SIEM REAP<div>Hotel de la Paix is Siem Reap's most stylish hotel, it offers guests outstanding levels of luxury and world class dining & spa facilities. In Cambodia, who would have thought! For such a fancy hotel, you can still feel the grace and charm of the Khmer people. The property grounds are a feast for the eyes, there's something to look at in every nook and cranny - it is designed very well. After witnessing the sunrise at Angkor Wat, Aileen and I went to Cafe de le Paix for some pastries and coffee. It's the hotel's "gourmet deli for global nomads." </div><div><br /></div><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0218.jpg"

We learnt that the ancient Khmer Empire spread over Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. These three countries have had great influence in most Cambodian dishes.

It's basically a cooking class offered by the River Garden hotel wherein you begin with a tour of the local markets and end by eating a full meal that you have collectively prepared. Oh yes, and the cooking of course is in between... </div><div><br /></div><div>Tuktuks were waiting in the lobby to take us to the local markets and eating places of the Khmer people. Our first stop was a "snack" stall, which translated to water snakes, beetles and other insects! We had some people on our tour take a nibble, and the verdict was the usual, "It really doesn't taste like anything..." Sorry to say, Aileen and I were both chicken so we don't have any first hand comments for you. The next stop was an outdoor market for meats, seafood and vegetables. What a contrast to our supermarkets! Our chef/guide bought a few fresh veggies at the market but to our relief, he told us that the meat and seafood for our dishes were purchased at the supermarket and waiting for us back at the hotel.</div><div><br /></div><div>A few snapshots of the tour below. Will post about the cooking in my next entry!</div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0105.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0105.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0104.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0104.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0113.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0113.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0112.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0112.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0109.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0109.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0108.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0108.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0107.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0107.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-15692643254857134292012-01-27T05:38:00.000-08:002012-02-03T07:34:02.698-08:00Blue Pumpkin | SIEM REAPAfter our dinner at Cafe Central, we felt like it was too early to go home [the time was about 11:30ish]. We weren't looking to go out clubbing or drinking, but we did want a reason to hang out before going back to the hotel... This was obviously a no-brainer for me, did I hear DESSERT?! And just like that, we landed at Blue Pumpkin. At the time, I thought we were pretty impressive for scoping out a fun, foodie spot - little did I know, Blue Pumpkin is<i> thee </i>place to go for ice-cream, breads, pastries and that of the sort. They also serve light snacks, sandwiches, coffee/tea and shakes. We saw quite a few outlets planted around the city, even at the departure area of the airport. Anyways, we made the right choice indeed. I had a refreshing passion fruit sorbet and Aileen a creamy coconut scoop. <div><br /></div><div>If you're wondering who our 2 friends are below, I will explain. When we were outside enjoying our sorbets, 2 boys came up to us selling books about Cambodia. We felt bad refusing and repeating ourselves, "Sorry, we don't need the books." Trust me, these boys don't take "No" for an answer. They kept insisting we buy the books and that they were very cheap. The books <i>were</i> cheap -nothing more than $10- it's just that we really didn't need them. Then Aileen offers, "How about instead of buying books, I buy you 2 some ice-cream instead?" The ear to ear grins on their faces said it all. It was so cute, Aileen and the 2 boys went to the counter and she let them choose their dessert. You could tell this was such a big treat for the 2, and just seeing how thrilled they were... Priceless.</div><div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0077.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0077.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0083.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0083.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0080.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0080.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0081.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0081.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a></div><div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0082.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0082.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a></div>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-14055543310848428042012-01-25T19:38:00.000-08:002012-01-25T20:30:38.274-08:00Cafe Central | SIEM REAP<div>Before each New Year, I look back at my journal and write a recap. It usually consists of how I feel about the year coming to a close & a new one beginning, my most memorable moments & significant events and things I was most grateful for. The last part of my entry is dedicated to goals and continuous dreams -if they haven't come true yet!- for the New Year. Each year there's a section about travel, I always want to visit new cities and explore new corners of the world with either J, my family or my bestest friends. Lucky me, 2 weeks into 2012 and I'm already visiting a new city -country, actually!- with my best friend.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA</b></div><div><br /></div><div>My trip started off with VIP service, Aileen was at the international airport in a tuk-tuk ready and waiting for my arrival. There's a very comforting feeling being greeted by a familiar face in a sea, and city, of strangers. I spotted my bestie right away and we were off to our hotel in a matter of minutes. We didn't stay long as it was getting a bit late and we didn't want to waste any time... The plan for the night was to feel out the Old Market area and find a restaurant to have dinner at. After walking around, we decided on Cafe Central - a spacious, breezy all day cafe. Their menu has everything from the usual breakfast suspects, coffee -my favorite Illy!-, options for hearty or light lunches, great snackies, cocktails and lots of choices for the dinner crowd. Aileen and I shared a bacon/chicken/broccoli pizza and the mezze platter, both of which we finished with ease ;) </div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0066.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0066.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0064.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0064.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0062.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0062.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0068.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0068.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0069.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0069.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0070.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0070.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0072.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0072.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0076.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0076.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=IMG_0073.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/IMG_0073.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-86298608427831993732012-01-20T17:30:00.000-08:002012-01-21T01:30:50.779-08:00Back-logged on the Bee-log<b>Back-logged on the Blog</b><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Goodness!

DE TA | Bali<div>Ku De Ta always seems to make it on the "list" when people ask what to do/where to go in Bali... For good reason, too! Ku De Ta is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your vacation. This beach club in hip spot Seminyak is a restaurant/lounge/bar all rolled into one (in my opinion, they are lacking a pool, i hope they get one). Jon and I went during the day, we were lucky and snagged the cabana lounge chairs right as a couple was leaving. We ordered some drinks and a pizza from their grazing menu. Our Romeo & Juliet pizza -grilled zucchini, white anchovy, dried chili, candied lemon parmesan- was served on a wooden board, we didn't have to move an inch from our perfect sunspot. Ahhhh, vacation :) </div><div> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB136513.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB136513.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a></p></div><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB136508.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB136508.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB136510.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB136510.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB136512.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB136512.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB136511.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB136511.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-22146905820406436752011-11-21T03:43:00.000-08:002011-11-23T17:50:26.581-08:00METIS | Bali<div><b>METIS :: My favorite meal from Bali 6.0</b></div><div> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:documentproperties> <o:template>Normal.dotm</o:Template> <o:revision>0</o:Revision> <o:totaltime>0</o:TotalTime> <o:pages>1</o:Pages> <o:words>20</o:Words> <o:characters>118</o:Characters> <o:company>Sweet Patti Cakes</o:Company> <o:lines>1</o:Lines> <o:paragraphs>1</o:Paragraphs> <o:characterswithspaces>144</o:CharactersWithSpaces> <o:version>12.0</o:Version> </o:DocumentProperties> <o:officedocumentsettings> <o:allowpng/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:trackmoves>false</w:TrackMoves> <w:trackformatting/> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:drawinggridhorizontalspacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing> <w:drawinggridverticalspacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing> <w:displayhorizontaldrawinggridevery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery> <w:displayverticaldrawinggridevery>0</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> <w:dontautofitconstrainedtables/> <w:dontvertalignintxbx/> </w:Compatibility> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="276"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal">If you get the chance visit Bali, please please dine at Metis. I only have the best words for this restaurant... It's a place for elegant dining in a romantic setting with of course, superb food, which they classify as French Mediterranean. This might have been the biggest meal Jon and I have ever shared. We started with warm bread, ordered our own appetizers and shared the cote de boeuf and everything that came with it. Mind you, the portion on the menu said it would be good for 2-3 people! If you know me, I was still able to make room for dessert - I chose from their signature kinds of souffle. To be honest, we could have skipped appetizers and just done the meat with dessert... What can I say, we like to eat, and we like to eat <i>a lot</i> :) Alfresco dining made for a lengthy dinner chatting over all kinds of things, we were certainly in no rush to get out of there. The sublime beauty and ambience lit up the evening and we just took it all in - note the surrounding rice fields in the photos below! I can't wait to go back to Bali, and will for sure visit Metis again.</p></div><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB136535.jpg"

FISH BLOO | Bali<div>I can start my Bali posts! Can I just say I had the best (mini) vacation... I say 'mini' because it was too short, I would have loved to stay longer to see more and explore different areas of the island. Our hotel was the bomb so it was hard to leave knowing we only had a short time to soak it all in. We stayed at the *uber-chic* and laid-back <a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=3221">W Hotel Retreat & Spa</a>. Click on the link and check it out! </div><div><br /></div><div>Dinner on the first night was at Star Fish Bloo, the signature restaurant of the hotel. Its beachfront location, fun aquamarine tones, over-sized lobster pot booths and excellent food make it a beach-chic dining spot you don't want to miss! The menu is inspired from the sea -duh- and everything else is built around that. There are other items on the menu which are more telling of the Pan Asian region (like the Korean fried chicken we ordered and also the shrimp-stuffed chicken wings) but I'd say it's heavy on the seafood at Star Fish Bloo; as it should be! Amazing first meal to welcome in the anniversary celebrations. </div><div><br /></div><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126382.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126382.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126384.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126384.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126388.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126388.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126396.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126396.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126393.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126393.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126394.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126394.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126397.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126397.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126398.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126398.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126399.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126399.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126400.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126400.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126401.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126401.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/?action=view&current=PB126403.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/grandidgep/PattisPalette%202010/PB126403.jpg" border="0" alt="pattispalette" /></a>PEACE.LOVE.FOODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024895009871270419noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394987002074654539.post-20330784332815060242011-11-19T00:48:00.000-08:002011-11-19T02:07:52.760-08:00Chinese @ CHANGI<div><b>MNL > > > SG</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>We started our day quite early, catching the 8am flight from Manila to Singapore. We slept on the plane and skipped breakfast. Three and a half hours later we landed in Singapore, our stop over city on the way to Bali. If there's any airport to have a 3 hour layover at, Changi is the place to be! By the time we deplaned, grabbed lunch [below], quickly browsed the shops and found free wifi, it was time to board our next plane.
