MAD FOR GARLIC

Always love hunting for places that sell a certain specialized food. And what can you think of when it comes to Garlic? Well, Mad for Garlic really surprised me with the different kind of food they came up with Garlic in all their dishes.

MAD FOR GARLIC
Suntec City Mall - 3 Temasek Boulevard #01-39, Singapore 038983
Operating Hours: Sun to Thurs - 11.30am to 10pm, Fri to Sat - 11.30am to 11pm

Clarke Quay - Blk 3B, River Valley Road #01-16, The Foundry, Singapore 179021

Visited the Suntec City Mall outlet purely out of random as we were looking for a dinner place around the area after shopping.

White Sauteed Fresh Mussels $29.90

Fresh Mussels sauteed with Spicy Pepper and Garlic Cream sauce

Red Devil $19.90

Special Spicy Pasta with fresh Scrimp, Clam and various kind of Seafood

(No doubt is this spicy)

Garlic Steak $32.90

Mad for Garlic Special Rib-eye Steak topped with various kinds of Garlic
(Really juicy succulent beef. Order medium rare!!)

Garlic Sprinkle Gelato $7.90

Mad for Garlic's Special Garlic IceCream served in Chocolate covered glass with Garlic Cookie

(Personally, I feel it taste abit weird at first but after a few more mouth, it's actually quite tasty. A very adventurous taste)

Visited the Clarke Quay outlet with my ex-colleagues on a different day, as we were planning to chill around after dinner. The price is slightly higher as they are newly renovated. Didn't managed to take photos of the place because it was quite crowded. All I can say is the whole restaurant is quite dimly-litted, and it gives a very country feel.

Vongole Mare Pasta $23.50

Traditional pasta with Fresh Clams in White Wine sauce

Grilled Chicken & Mushroom Risotto $22.50

Risotto cooked with Spinach and Mushroom topped with Grilled Chicken Leg

Garlicholic Rice $17.90

Special Fried Rice with Garlic Pickles

Garlic Spinkle Gelato $8.90

(Had to order this again when i revisited because I feel it's their signature dessert)

Really enjoyed a good meal both times I was there. Just a piece of advice, try not to talk too closely to someone or burp after dining there.. =X

HABITAT COFFEE

Yeah!! Finally back to cafe-hunting!! Work has been quite tiring for me recently, thankfully i find joy & comfort in food. And with the companion of my food buddy, Adeline!! Has always heard about Habitat Coffee but didnt manage to try it out. This time, I happened to be meeting a client nearby the area & decided to make the effort to head down.

Second floor dining area

All-Day Brunch: Egg benedict $12

Poached Eggs and honey baked Ham on sundried tomato bread topped with homemade Hollandaise sauce

 (This has to be the most normal looking & tasting egg benedict i tried, nothing special but totally love their egg york that oozes out. Slurp~)

 Savory Pasta: Curry It $12

Asian Curry Chicken sauteed with pasta & grated Parmesan cheese

(This taste really unique. People always eat curry with rice, who would have thought it taste great with pasta)

Just Right: Hello Truffle Fries $8

Dressed with fine grated parmesan, this is Habitat Coffee's home seasoned Truffle Fries

(Everyone knows i love truffle fries, totally LOOOOOOVE this~ One of the nicer truffle fries i tasted.)

What is a cafe visit without trying their coffee?

Flavored Coffee: Hazelnut $5.90

Cafe Latte $4.90

What I like about this place is that it is really nice and comfy. Simple wooden interior, nothing expensive-looking, nothing over-the-board. Most of the staff there are school part-timers & teenagers, so you can really feel the young vibe & energy in the cafe. And more importantly, there is a bus-stop directly outside. So it is accessible & convenient to reach there. So gonna come back to try their desserts and other menu next. =)
