Had a wonderful Indonesian cuisine at Rica Rica. Their curry is so good!!

What we had:
+ Complimentary crackers for appetizers
+ Beef rendang/Lamb kari (curry) for mains
+ Lamb sate (satay) for sides
+ Soto ayam kampung (Indonesia style chicken soup) for soup
+ Chendol Panna Cotta for dessert

I chose the lamb curry for main and it was super good, especially with rice! I also liked the satay, which tasted different from the ones we had in SG. More charred. The dessert was fantastic. A nice take on the traditional chendol. Meal was enjoyable.

Korean Cafe at Bali Lane

What we had:
+ Matcha cube, the “no. 1” item on the menu
+ Coffee! ☕️

This place was as sweet as the dessert on the menu. A good place to retire after a long walk under the scorching sun. ☀️

Peruvian cuisine 🇵🇪

This restaurant serves authentic dishes from Peru (according to them).

What we had:
+ Ceviche\Zesty raw fish for Appetizer
+ Cochinillo con Arroz\Suckling pork with Rice (Christmas menu) for Main
+ Parihuela\Seafood soup with crab meat for Side

Seafood was very fresh and the service was great too. For the price tag, the portion could be bigger tho. 🥹

Christmas market 🎄🎅🏻

We tried hot chocolate, mulled wine and s’mores and sampled different chocolate flavours. I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to my chocolates so I didn’t quite enjoy the flavours which are not sweet. The hot choco and mulled wine were not so bad! 🍫🍷

Christmas Buffet 🎅🏻 🎄 🎁

A nice place to celebrate Christmas with your family. The staff (chefs and waiters) were very friendly and helpful. Service was prompt!

Festive buffet specials:
+ Christmas turkey, ham, beef carvings
+ Cheesy mac & cheese (my favourite)
+ Christmas pudding, chocolate log cake and panettone cake

I like that I don’t feel judged for eating too much or too little here. The seating arrangement provides some privacy for the diners. Enjoyed the overall experience. 👍🏻

GRAND OPENING 🎊🕊️

After exploring the entire bird park and watching the incredible shows, we took a break at the Penguin Cafe.

What we had:
+ Penguin “Bao” or Bun
+ Fruit Parfait
+ Cappuccino

Cute-looking food with a great view of the penguins. Just in time for the penguin feeding session. Penguins need to eat too. 🐧 ❤️

/Art-is-tic/

The food looked pretty and just like the pictures in the menu except that they were not spared from shrinkflation.

What we had:
+ Squid ink pasta with scallops
+ Duck confit
+ Ribeye steak with foie gras
+ Lychee peach tea (cold)

Overall not too bad, especially with Mario & friends as the backdrop during this period. ☺️

A pretty pretty place to chill after shopping 🛍️💅🏻

What we had:
+ Guacamole with cherry toast
+ Guacamole Tamago Sando
+ Coffee brûlée

I only liked the ambience and the service. The toast tasted…normal. Not sure why it is chef recommended. Need to improve the menu. The coffee was good tho. ☕️

Birthday Cake 🎂 🎁 🎈

This cake was really pretty to look at. They chose the earl grey tea + chocolate flavour (I’m not sure what the other flavours are). Taste wise- it is unique and just sweet enough for my liking. 🍰

A great place for family gathering. The signature dish like the yam ring and Peking duck are pretty good. Another thing I like about this place is their service. Highly recommended!

Afternoon tea break 🍓🫐🥞

We all agree chocolate is the better choice. 🍫
