Nude Food

We passed by this place while searching for a place to dinner at Vivocity yesterday:

Didn't manage to eat there as we weren't really looking for Thai food, but I think it would've been quite an interesting experience, heheh.

Anyway we ended up in White Dog Cafe, which is supposedly quite well-known for it's Triple Mushroom Soup. Took a bunch of pics; food will be reviewed sooner or later. Which is whenever I have the time to get down to it.

Sun with (NOT 'and'!!!) Moon restaurant, Wheelock Place

Since someone(glares in general direction)'s perpetually putting off blogging about our visit to Sun with Moon, I guess I'll have to do it. Because it's 2am and I can't get to sleep. And even then I'm blogging about this place that I can barely remember about. But what can you do. What are you doing up and about at this time of night, dear reader? Hmmm?

Anyway. I can't really remember much about our visit - will have to go again, hinthint - except that some of the food came in funny metal bowls in wooden containers that came with a gimmicky hourglass so you know how long to let your food "cook". Guess they don't have enough space in the kitchen. I didn't take any pics of those as I was too focused on my shitty rice - more to come about that later.

Service was somewhat tolerable I think.

Okay, on to the food (like any Singaporeans care about service hurhur). The chunks of beef they put in their stew were humongous:

Isn't that utterly HUGEmongous??? (the beef, not her nose) I swear to whoever that this pic has not been altered or photoshopp-ed in any way. Biggest and juiciest chunks of beef ever. There was half a cow in our bowl of stew.

And the rest of the stew (which I also did not take any pics of) that the beef came in was pretty fantastic too. Flavourful (I see this word in food blogs all the time so I assume it's a pretty good catch-all phrase when it comes to food), meaty, and goes really well with rice. It had veggies in it too, which were on hindsight pretty unmemorable (veggies normally are).

As for the shitty rice:

It wasn't allll that bad - we called it that because it literally looked like shit on rice - but it wasn't too good either. It was overly normal, which isn't really a good description when it comes to food. Imagine salty bak chor on japanese rice that had been shaped by a bowl and you've got Sun with Moon's shitty rice. Oh, and I got one extra pea on my serving than what the picture in the menu showed, so I guess it wasn't all that bad.

Would I go back there again? Yes, to try the other stuff they had in the menu. Like one of us mentioned, this is really high-class Japanese dining, man. No plebeian Japanese food like Katsudon and Ramen here, nooooo. You want that kind of food, you go to the food court like the good little peasant that you are.



So, all said and done, what's next on my review list? A visit to Outback Steakhouse in Millenia Walk and one to that Hong Kong restaurant opposite Novena. To come when I next get insomnia; don't hold your breath.
