D-Plus Bread

Location: First got it @ MDIS Queenstown.
There are other places selling it too.

How much does it cost?

SGD$1.20 each

Inky knew I love bread (not Gardenia type) alot and with such cute packaging, sure to make me 'woah' and go crazy. She got me the first D-Plus bread in Maple Flavour during break time. Got addicted and got the second flavour which is the Chocolate the next day. Introduced it to mum, and she bought it somewhere at Tampines with many other flavours like red bean. The last time when I saw it in school, they have more flavours compared to when they just appear in the market.

The bread is very spongeeee, and on the packaging it states natural yeast. Among the 4 above, I like the Chocolate best. The hokkaido cream is very creamy like eating beard papa. Maple is slightly sweeter. It is best to go with a cup of coffee or tea without milk.

This post is very objective, cos Inky don't find the bread very fantastic. Shall find a chance to blog on the choco and cream wassant by Provence especially from the outlet at Holland Village!! *yummy* can view it at their website http://www.provence.com.sg/default.html

*Drooling*

Not sure about the yellow sauce but the one in black tasted like vinegar+olive oil.
The bread is very delicious. Super soft.

If there were more people, then can order a bottle.

The combination of the soup may be weird, Carrot & Ginger, but the taste of it is sweet.
You don't actually taste the Ginger.

The Dinner Set Menu came in Sea @ $48 and Land @ $52.
The rest remain the same except for the main entree.
The above is the Land main entree.

Despite the fact that I can't taste the above item, but when he cut the meat into two,
you can see how juicy the meat is which really tempts you.
The portion is really big, super worth the $$.

For your reference, the Sea main entree consists of:
Duo of King Salmon & Hot Smoked Salmon with Creme Fraiche &
Two Caviar Sauce, Beetroot Mash with Fava Bean

The prawn and clam are so fresh which make u feel like swimming in the sea.
Super nice with the taste of the wine.
Yummy~~~

What we ordered
1) 1 Set Dinner Menu (Land) - $52.00

2) 1 Linguini Con Frutti Di Mare - $26.00

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Ok this post is 2.5 months late, but late then never rite?

Anyway, I dunno how the price ended up to be this way,
I guess there was some discount. haha....

The pictures have spoken for themselves, don't they?
Except for the ice cream cos it was like 7.30pm when served and hence the
romantic 'view' of it. Tried using flash, but the outcome not nice.
We spend about 2 hours at the place!!

It is a good place to dine and chill with friends and families.
The dining ambience is pretty good just that the surrounding environment is not very beautiful due to the heavy construction!!
The staff are very friendly and upon arrival,
they quickly offered me a chair for my handbag.
They didn't rush us for our orders and they actually asked if we were rushing for any show or movie.
I think tt's the reason why we had a 2hrs long dinner.

It was 'Save the Earth' day and we were seated on the second level,
we manage to catch the office towers in the CBD area
switiching off their lights at 8pm.
Not very impressive except for Maybank Building.

Anyway thanks dear for the birthday treat =)
