Cliff(y) Goes Dining

Unique dips by a Singaporean chef! UPDATE (30/06/2019):  The restaurant has closed down. Alright, first of all, I guess this shall be the last review of the year. This entry on Dip's would also close the chapter on Paris for now. No worries, I'll definitely come back to Paris one day to do a food trail, especially to pâtisseries !

Great croissant for breakfast! CISP stands for les Centres Internationaux de Séjours de Paris , and I stayed in their Kellermann branch during the weekend trip to Paris. Apparently, the hostel has good ratings online. 

Served cold, but fulfilling! Literally means 'meal trays', Plateaux-Repas  from Serge Magner looked really awesome. Serge Magner is a company that not only specialises in catering for special events, but also owns quality restaurants. I had the chance to try them twice during the summer school: one for the welcome lunch, and another for the farewell lunch.

"One is never enough... Buns to die for!" Sorry for being tardy in updating my blog lately; there's been quite a number of stuff preventing me from even sitting in front of my laptop nowadays. Anyway, today I'm going to write a short review on Rotiboy Bakeshoppe that hails from Malaysia. The bakery has more than 50 outlets in Indonesia, but none is left  here in Singapore. :/

It's a chocolate museum! I didn't know there exists a chocolate museum in Paris until I saw its pamphlet in the hostel I stayed. I was glad I could convince some friends to come with me to the museum. By paying an additional €3.00 ( ~S$5.25 ) to the entrance fee, you'll get a cup of hot chocolate drink at the end of the visit. The chocolate block was dunked into a cup of hot milk until it melted. Here's the interesting part... Have you ever tried the original Aztec recipe? Continue reading to find out!

Filling, satisfying bowl of salad! A friend of mine recommended Salad Stop! owing to the freshness of the ingredients used, as well as the variety of salad bowls they offer. When I was walking around in Suntec City Mall, I didn't expect to find one of the branches there. Even though I already promised to meet someone for dinner, dropping by wouldn't do any harm, right? Yeah, me and my big appetite...

Sweet temptation specially made in front of us! Today I'm going to write a special review about the sweet stuff I had during my visit to Institut Paul Bocuse, a school of hospitality and culinary arts. Paul Bocuse is a prominent chef based in Lyon, famous for his innovative approaches to cuisine. Oh, the school building looks like a castle!

Oyster omelette: hotplate style! In search for tasty oyster omelette around, my friend and I went all the way to Tampines to try the one offered by Warong Kim's Seafood which has been around since 1965. The Tampines branch has also obtained Halal certification.

Secret donut??? One free morning, my friends and I went to Musée des Tissus et des Arts décoratifs (Museum of Fabrics and Decorative Arts). It was raining, and we happened to reach there a bit too early and thus had to wait for a while till it opened. Since we hadn't had breakfast, we dropped by Times Donuts to try some of their donuts and drink hot chocolate to warm ourselves up.

The only eatery selling martabak manis in Singapore? For those who're not familiar with martabak manis , it's actually an Indonesian version of 'pancake' (for the lack of a better word) which is usually thick and sinful due to the liberal use of butter (or margarine) and toppings such as sweet condensed milk, chocolate sprinkles, grated cheese, ground peanuts, etc. Does it sound mouth-watering enough? Continue reading to find out more!  Pika's advice 1: Those of you who're craving for martabak durian , you really have a reason to visit this eatery as soon as possible! I'll let you judge since I dislike the 'king of fruits'. XD

Unique ice cream and sorbet flavours! This restaurant is located on Bastille Hill, Grenoble. Although the sun was shining so brightly the other day, it was really worthwhile having lunch here while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the French Alps.
