Monday Date @ Mediterranean Thai @ Chuan Park

Yes, it's time for another Monday date review. My hubby and I are trying to maintain our biweekly Monday dates.

Last Monday, I remember it was drizzling.
After work, we went to this restaurant which was recommended my our friends.
The restaurant is located within Chuan Park Condominium and they are opened for non-residents to enter just to patronize the restaurant. The establishment has a variety of cuisines including Thai and Mediterranean.

We only ordered the Thai food that day (got to watch our diet) but their Mediterranean Pizza is another must try!!

The interior of the restaurant is plain and unassuming.

The fact that it's hidden within a condo estate - plus the fact that it was pretty late when we reach there (about 8 plus) - the restaurant is pretty empty.

We tried their clear Tom Yam Soup, stir fried Tom Yam Sotong with Tom Yam Paste and Thai Chendol.

Their Tom Yam is really shiok and spicy! Especially the clear Tom Yam Soup.
So if you are not a someone who can stomach the heat, I don't recommend you to order these.
But if u are a real spicy foodie, then go for it!  Definitely a must try!

While we totally enjoyed the mains, the dessert was a little disappointing. The Thai Chendol is really sweet and very similar to our normal Chendol, nothing fanciful about it. Moreover, they served it with ice cubes instead of ice shavings so getting rid of the cubes from every mouth can be troublesome.

If you are interested to try. The restaurant is inside Chuan Park Condominium which is walking distance from Lorong Chuan MRT

Very convenient for non-drivers and people who want to avoid the dinner crowds. 

With love,

Monday date @ Saveur, Quality yet affordable

My hubby and I decided to go on a Monday dinner date to chase away our Monday blue.

I'm suggesting to him to make it our weekly affair!! No more Monday blue. 

Our first Monday date after marriage is to try this well know causal French restaurant, Saveur, which is known for their quality yet affordable food. 

They have currently 2 outlets, one at Bugis and one at Far East Plaza. This time, we decide to try the Far East Plaza outlet. 

We reached at about 8 plus and luckily, there's no queue. But the inside was packed. 

The restaurant looks classy and modern and my hubby likes the design and can't resist to take photos of the restaurant, or maybe me. Haha.

The first thing that come to our table is their menu which I have to comment. It's so cute!!

Like their cartoon duck logo and also their welcome note

The front cover of their menu

Love is patience, love is kind. 

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking. 

it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. 

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 

It always protects, always trusts, always hope, and always perseveres.

 So When was the last time u were moved to love? 

I'm moved by their food

For the first time there, we tried the chief recommendation.
