To match these posh brand names, the Christmas decorations here maintain a classy and exceptionally beautiful standard year after year.

I like the bit of subtle coincidence in this shot. Can you tell what I am referring to?

This holiday season, Paragon shines with a decor that is best summed up by one colour: gold. An opulent Christmas tree standing at the swanky glass entrance becomes an eye-catching centrepiece. Adorning the tree, which has not a blade of leaf on it, are chains of gold balls with geometric patterns and shiny baubles in pearl white, gold and silver.

At night, the tree lights up in a series of outlines that form a grid pattern, lending a somewhat sci-fi feel.

]]> 4 http://sparklette.net/food/bakerzin-meal-box/ http://sparklette.net/food/bakerzin-meal-box/#comments Sat, 27 Nov 2010 03:00:40 +0000 Jasper Aston Lim http://sparklette.net/?p=1028 With nine branches spread across the island, Bakerzin has long been a crowd favourite for its desserts, cakes and artful dishes. Pitted against the surge of café-restaurants marketing the same fancy bites, how will Bakerzin’s newly revamped menu for 2010 fare?

A new addition to the menu is the interesting meal-boxes category. Each meal-box includes a main course or pasta, soup of the day, bread, side salad, slice of cake and a choice of Italian soda or iced tea.

We opt for three of the meal-boxes, namely the carbonara, Japanese chicken curry and Barramundi fish meal-boxes.

Carbonara meal-box
S$18.90++
Rating:

The creamy smell from the carbonara meal-box wafts into our nostrils long before it even arrives at the table. I’ve always been a fan of creamy pasta, so this is a natural choice for me. The presentation is elegant, the white of the plate contrasting well with the yellow in the pasta, speckled with pink and green.

However, the pasta turns out to be a little starchy and dry, as though it has been overcooked. Having had the same dish on a previous visit, this experience left me disappointed.

Japanese chicken curry meal-box
S$21.90++
Rating:

I like the way they make the Japanese chicken curry stand out with a pile of seaweed stacked atop the rice and the asymmetrical curry arrangement. This is the standard sweet and mildly spicy Japanese curry, although its pairing with the clearly western mashed potato seems mismatched.

Barramundi fish meal-box
S$26.90++
Rating:

The Barramundi fish meal-box is the one that captures our attention. The cooking is well executed, the fish perfectly paired with a savoury sauce. The salmon salad on the side is refreshing, while the mashed potato on which the fish sits is far more flavourful than the side dishes in the other two meal-boxes. This is one item that Bakerzin should definitely retain on their next menu update. (Editor: While we’re at it, please bring back the assam (tamarind) prawn linguini and the old seafood pasta, too!)

Soup of the day is the Spicy Bloody Mary soup, which is spicy and tomato-based. One minor gripe we have is that the angular shape of the deep soup bowls makes scooping difficult.

For the cake option, you have a choice between mango and tiramisu. The latter has just the right mix of cream, sponge and cocoa powder, with a soft texture that allows the fork to slide through easily. It suffices to say that the tiramisu does not disappoint.

While we’re on the subject of the new Bakerzin menu, I have always been impressed with the menu design and layout. The previous design had a style like a glossy magazine with oh-so drool-worthy pictures. The new menu sports a simpler old-school feel with the design and paper texture, while retaining the same gorgeous studio-quality images.

Peach Italian soda
Rating:

On the whole, the new meal-box concept serves as a more affordable option for enjoying a multi-course meal. That being said, it has its drawbacks. The small plates set on a tray reminds one of airline food. For that same reason I can’t help but eye my carbonara suspiciously, wondering if it was indeed prepared way beforehand and heated up on order. The next time I visit Bakerzin, I’d stick to the ala carte orders, thank you very much!

But these days, western cafés and bakeries also impress with their dazzling mooncake creations. COVA Pasticceria is one of them.

Established in Milan circa 1817, COVA arrived at our sunny shores in 2008, bringing along its coffee, pastry and chocolate specialties. This Mid-Autumn Festival, the open concept café at Paragon has brought back its popular Torta Della Luna (literally ‘cake of the moon’ in Italian) collection.

These Italian-style snowskin mooncakes are available in four flavours (below, clockwise from top centre):

- Peanut and chocolate
- Sweet potato and pumpkin (new in 2010)
- Rose and vanilla
- Mocha (new in 2010)

Torta Della Luna collection
S$38.50+ for a box of 4 (S$34+ each when you buy 3 boxes or more)
Rating:

All four mooncakes have a velvety snowskin with the same lovely patterns, topped with a slice of delicious milk chocolate. My favourite is no doubt the peanut and chocolate.

What is it about peanut and chocolate in the same sentence that spells awesomeness? The moment I saw this flavour I knew I was in trouble. This mooncake comprises chocolate sponge cake with a chocolate feuillentine (chocolate cream mixed with cereal) layer and a peanut butter cream layer. The addition of chopped peanuts gives a nice crunchy texture that literally makes me go nuts!

The newcomer mocha snowskin mooncake is made with COVA’s very own premium coffee and chocolate. As a coffee fanatic myself, I love, love, love this harmonious combination.

If you prefer strong flavours, you may find the new sweet potato and pumpkin mooncake a tad mild for your palate.

Another flavour that has returned this year is the pink rose and vanilla. Encased within the rose-scented snowskin is light vanilla sponge cake layered with chocolate and pastry cream. Pair this with rose tea and you’re all set!

The packaging is simple but elegant, with bright red ribbons and the logo in gold.

If you are planning to pamper someone this Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mooncake Festival Hamper may fit the bill. This special package is filled with the mooncakes, the signature Gianduotti chocolates, freshly baked butter cookies and a tin of premium COVA tea leaves. Just the stuff to show someone you care!

In the past, they put on their creative hats and decorated their Christmas trees with stars, strings of pearls and dancing fairies.

This time round, they have opted for a whimsical display comprising illuminated butterflies fluttering above thousands of lights. It looks stunning at night!

In the day, the Christmas tree actually looks quite ordinary. A band of red and blue flowers twirl around the tree. Other than that, the design is rather plain without the bed of lights.

I remember there was once when a dozen of us crowded into the restaurant at Plaza Singapura. Shortly after sitting down to look at the menu, we had to make a rather embarrassing escape when we realised that we couldn’t afford the food! Yes, back then a Fish & Co meal seemed unattainable for us.

So, I think it’s great news that they are making their food extremely affordable now! From Sundays to Thursdays between now and October 31, they are reeling in customers with the fabulous Autumn Seafood Sensation promotion. Four seafood dishes are now priced at just $9 each!

Their fish and chips is rumoured to be the best in town. With this attractive promotion, it’s a great opportunity for everyone to put it to the test!

I did. So have they passed with flying colours?

Swiss fish & chips
S$9++
Rating:

The restaurant chain is famous for their seafood-in-a pan concept, where the dishes are served in little pans (though I’m pretty sure they don’t cook the food in them). Deep-fried to a lovely golden brown and topped with the signature garlic lemon butter sauce, the Swiss fish and chips certainly pass the initial looks test. The ample slab of dory fish helps a lot, too.

Still, none of that can prepare me for how awesome the batter is. It is one of the lightest, crispiest batter I have tasted, comparable to Japanese tempura! As for the flesh, it is tender, lightly salted and savoury throughout.

Look, it is even stuffed with Gruyere cheese!

This is, without a doubt, one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. (Hmm… I find that I have been using that phrase a lot lately.)

Another place that claims to have the best fish and chips is The Manhattan Fish Market. I haven’t had theirs before, but if it’s similar to the deep-fried fish fillet that they serve in their Flaming seafood platter, then it pales in comparison to Fish & Co’s.

Well, what do you think? Does Fish & Co have the best fish & chips?

Thai’s Deluxe Catch
S$9++
Rating:

One very flavourful dish included in the promotion is the Thai’s Deluxe Catch. It comprises of grilled dory fish, served with paella rice and a pile of fresh clams cooked in succulent tomato sauce.

The thing that “Thais” it together is the red curry ladled over the fish. The curry sauce is thick and sour, a very different rendition from your typical sweet Thai curry. I guess this is the tom yam edition. It goes well with the rice, and every bite is bursting with flavour!

With the promotion, both dishes cost just $9++!

Terms & Conditions:
- Promotion is not valid at the Paragon and Ion Orchard outlets.
- Seafood baked rice is not available at the Jurong Point outlet.
- Promotion is valid from Sundays to Thursdays excluding eve and day of public holidays.
- Promotion is valid for all day dine-in only.
- Promotion is not valid in conjunction with any other promotions, discounts, privileges, vouchers, and/or offers.

I really like the fact that the promotion is valid on Sundays, too. For your next meal, take advantage of these $9 Autumn Seafood Sensations! You can pick from:

• Swiss fish & chips
• Seafood baked rice
• Captain’s Catch (barbecue sauce)
• Thai’s Deluxe Catch (red curry sauce)

Aside from the food, I also notice that a copy of the restaurant’s newsletter is placed on every table. The quarterly publication contains the latest happenings and promotions at all the restaurants operated by the same company (that includes Giraffe Bar, too). This way, customers have something to read whilst waiting for their food. That’s a very cheap and clever marketing method! Another place that provides such light reads is tcc.

The newspaper-style design and the cute name really appeal to me. Can you catch what the name is?

With some googling, I struck gold. Grandma’s at Orchard Parade Hotel serve the same dishes whipped up by Chef Yong, a former chef at Madam Kwan’s for 8 long years! The restaurant also falls under the Akashi group, and is one that I would eventually visit and come to love.

Because I didn’t get to try Madam Kwan’s famous nasi bukhari in Kuala Lumpur, I’ve grown even more curious about it. That’s the first dish I go for, and Grandma’s certainly does not disappoint.

Nasi Bukhari (pilaf rice)
S$15.80++
Rating:

The nasi bukhari consists of (clockwise from top left):

• beef rendang
• rice cooked in coconut milk
• assam prawns
• a mega-huge chicken drumlet

The most impressive part of this dish is, no doubt, the big chicken. It has the thinnest, crispiest skin, and neither feels dry nor oily. You just want to chew up all the skin at one go!

Soaked in gravy and infused with the fragrance of spices, the beef rendang is soft and tender.

The weak link of the dish, I find, is the assam prawns that are cooked with loads of sauteed onion. The portion is skimpy (just two prawns of average size) and the taste is ordinary (bakerzin’s assam prawns with linguini is actually better).

Nasi Lemak (rice cooked in coconut milk)
S$10.80++
Rating:

If you can bring yourself to spend more than $10 on nasi lemak (rice cooked in coconut milk), go for this.

The nasi lemak consists of (clockwise from top left):

• sambal ikan bilis (dried anchovies)
• cucumber
• achar (pickled vegetables) in a separate small dish
• curry chicken
• rice cooked in coconut milk
• hard boiled egg
• dried shrimp floss

So basically, the accompaniments are identical to Madam Kwan’s.

The lemak rice is similarly aromatic and fluffy. Perhaps due to my own (high) expectations after having tasted madam kwan’s nasi lemak, I find that I’m not a big fan of the sambal and achar here. And for me, the sambal plays the most important role of this dish.

But where madam kwan’s falters, Grandma’s does a pretty good job. The curry chicken here is tastier and goes wonderfully with the fragrant rice.

Now that I have tried the nasi lemak at both restaurants, I feel I can fairly say that overall, Grandma’s nasi lemak pales slightly in comparison. (I feel horrible for saying that!) however my partner who has never eaten at madam kwan’s before loves it, so I think it has a lot to do with expectations; once you’ve had the best, nothing else seems good enough. Madam kwan’s shoes are hard to fill.

Sotong (calamari)
S$7.80++
Rating:

Apart from the two main dishes, Grandma’s also has a whole range of dishes that you can order, zi char style.

The sotong (calamari) is stir fried in either soya sauce or spicy tamarind sauce. We pick the first, which is an excellent choice. The dark soya sauce gravy is distinctly different from all the dishes we have ordered, with a refreshing sweetness coupled with a mild tinge of spiciness.

The sotong, in this case, is sliced into bigger chunks as opposed to the more common rings. The flesh is a little stiff, and would have been a perfect 5 had it been softer.

Otak Otak (spicy fish paste)
S$8.80++
Rating:

Another dish I would recommend is the otak otak (spicy fish paste). While it may seem quite pricey, you do get a fat slab of fish paste on the platter. More importantly, it is juicy and oh-so-satisfying, with the spiciness level turned up a notch compared to the earlier dishes.

You can also see that the otak contains many chunky pieces of fish and isn’t all mush. I like it that way!

Kang Kong
S$7.80++
Rating:

For veggies, we go for the kang kong (water spinach) stir-fried with spicy shrimp paste. There is also the choice of brinjal, long beans or lady’s fingers.

Besides the awesome food, here’s one more thing: they serve free chilled water in a carafe! Take that, you restaurateurs that refuse to serve free water. That’s how it’s done.

Of course, if you want something other than water, you can take advantage of the cheap beer. $3 pints of tiger or $5 pints of Erdinger, anyone?

Click to enlarge

I have attached Grandma’s menu here. It is worth noting that the service here is prompt and friendly. Both the manager and assistant manager are busting their asses along with the waitstaff, and still find time to chat with us and ask about the food.

From our conversation, I learn that Chef Yong is stationed at Orchard Parade Hotel. He’s the guy that prepares all the gravies and sauces (that is, the stuff that make or break a dish), which are then delivered to the other outlets. This way, the consistency of the food standards is maintained at both places!

Maybe it’s something to do with the restaurant’s name, I spot many families in the weekend dinner crowd. This is certainly one restaurant where you can bring your parents and in-laws to.

Well done, Grandma’s. I’m delighted to discover a new restaurant that I can frequent. I’ll certainly be back for more!

throughout the month of July, they are selling their macarons at just $0.90 each! If you’ve yet to try out this cute French pastry, this is the perfect opportunity! With over a dozen flavours, there’s something for everybody.

Wait, that’s not all. They have also slashed the prices for some of their cakes by more than half!

1. Chocolate Amer (flourless chocolate sponge layered with bitter chocolate mousse, serves 6-10)
2. Cookies & cream cheesecake (studded with cookie crumble and sprinkled with crushed cookie bits, serves 8-10)
3. New York cheesecake (cream cheese coated with a tangy strawberry glaze, serves 8-10)

Imagine getting a whole cookies and cream cheesecake for less than $20! That’s a massive discount!

If you’re celebrating a loved one’s birthday this month, why not get him or her an affordable Bakerzin cake?

If macaron is the first thing that pops in your mind, my, you must have a sweet tooth!

When I first laid my eyes on the macarons at Bakerzin, I fell in love with these sweet pastries. Just toss in a cup of joe and you’re all set for a delightful teatime snack!

Macarons (not to be confused with macaroon or macaroni) are made with egg white, almond powder and icing sugar, with creamy butter cream and ganache.

Macarons (assorted flavours)
$1.60 $1 each for February ’09
Rating:

On first impression, I would have thought that the green one is matcha (green tea), but it’s actually pistachio with white chocolate! The pretty one with speckles of pink is “scarlet”, a mixture of vanilla and strawberry. It’s heavenly! But my favourites are, hands down, the chocolate ones.

The bakers here really know their chocolate. You get your chocolate macarons with a touch of lemon, brandied cherry, whiskey, coffee butter cream and even banana! The chocolate ones are really the best of the lot.

After whetting your appetite, I feel it’s only right to share with you this: Bakerzin has slashed the price of these babies from $1.60 to a dollar each. The promotion is valid only in the month of February. So hurry!

(last month, they slashed the price of their phenomenal warm chocolate cake to $4.80. I’m looking forward to another great promotion next month!)

They continue their display of sophisticated-looking trees for the third year running with a magnificent one:

Shiny and matte baubles in silver, gold and red adorn this tree beautifully. But the thing that really catches the eye are the life-sized dancing ladies on giant baubles decked out in the same colours. It reminds me of the life-sized angels at Bugis Junction two years ago.

Dance, dance, dance away with these golden girls! They even have baubles for their hair and chains of shiny beads on their golden bodies. That’s a lot of attention to detail!

Photo by Rakeon

At night, the tree simply looks splendid with thousands of twinkling lights. I’m already looking forward to be dazzled again by Paragon next Christmas.

Speaking of dazzling decor, Centrepoint shopping centre used to have such spectacular Christmas displays. This year, they have almost nothing. What happened?

They have done a beautiful job though — their tree this year looks splendid, but I still very much prefer the one from last year.

One thing that has remained is the classiness of the decor, befitting a high-end mall like this. Gone are the pointy stars that I oh-so-love. In their place are strings after strings of large shiny pearls, a pretty ornament that is rarely seen on Christmas trees. They have certainly managed to make it work.

Photo by Steel Wool

This tree looks beautiful, whether it’s in the day or at night. A whimsical Christmas, anyone? I really love the sound of that!

Here’s a cute shot of the tree as seen from the stone sculptures just outside the mall.

Photo by bigbowl78

The 8-pointed star at the top of the tree is almost invisible in the day. But when night falls, its illuminated outline can be seen clearly.

And for now, a testament that Singapore is a land of beautiful Christmas trees:

Photo by khoon18

The Paragon tree is seen across the busy road in the background with the gold Braun Büffel tree from yesterday in the foreground. Boy, are we lucky to have so many beautiful Christmas trees in such close proximity. Do they have this in other countries too?

While in many cases it is rather obvious that the same tree is used each year (such as this and the 4-storey tree at Takashimaya), we really can’t expect malls to get a brand new super-sized tree every Christmas. Usually, the creative use of new ornaments would suffice to give the same old tree a completely different look.

But this no longer applies when you have a tree that is bright pink, like The Cathay’s. When they set up their candy pink tree last year, it was a picture-perfect sight that reaped heaps of praise from all around. When they set up the same tree again this year, suddenly we aren’t seeing any new pictures of it on flickr.

Speaking of trees with unconventional colours, I’m still waiting for a purple one! Oh wait, they already did it in China. I have hopes that I would get to see it here next year.

A girl can dream right?

The reason that keeps me going there is that the team of chefs serve up a mean seafood pasta. And let’s not forget the oh-so-sinful-and-yummilicious chocolate lava cake too.

But with this new 2008 menu, I’ve found a third good reason.

Assam Prawns with Linguini
S$14.80++
Rating:

The assam prawn dishes are newcomers to the menu, falling under the brand new category “just like home”, which is dedicated to local flavours. Bakerzin owner and chef Daniel Tay was taught by his Dad on how to prepare the delicious assam prawns.

For those with a weakness for spicy food, you would totally love this. I tell ya, these juicy prawns go so well with the thick and sweet spicy gravy, they’re practically exploding with flavour. It’s mouthwatering and lip-smackingly good!

Just when I thought they can’t possibly do any better than their 5-star seafood pasta, they whip up this new pasta that totally surpasses my expectations! Like the seafood pasta, a generous serving of prawns is tossed in too.

Besides the east-meets-west fusion of assam prawns with linguini, you can also choose to have it with Japanese rice. I might ask for spaghetti next time though; I feel spaghetti might just go better than linguini.

Update: I tried this with spaghetti a few days later and guess what? I did like it better than the linguini!

Oh, for the seafood pasta die-hard fans, this old favourite is still on the new menu. They wouldn’t dare take it away would they? Personally I’m just thrilled to have another excellent option for my next visit!

Aglio Olio Spaghetti
S$8.80++
Rating:

Another old favourite that remains is the traditionalist pasta dish, aglio olio spaghetti, sautéed with olive oil, garlic, chilli padi and parsley. While it was tasty, we did find it too dry for our liking. I sure hope it isn’t always dry like that, especially since this place doesn’t serve water. That’s my only pet peeve with Bakerzin. (a rather major one though.)

But who needs aglio olio when you already have two awesome tried-and-tasted pasta dishes right? Wow, my entire mouth just filled up with saliva. Can’t wait for my next visit!

I have been encouraged to go for the desserts too, more specifically their best-selling warm chocolate cake. Mind you, this ain’t just any regular ol’ chocolate cake. This is the kind that takes the chef some time to serve because it has to be prepared and warmed up just precisely, with molten chocolate lava oozing out of its warm gooey nucleus.

Warm Chocolate Cake
S$9.80++
Rating:

I absolutely love what Bakerzin has done with it! In fact, I’ve had many different renditions of this decadent dessert at various places in recent months.

There’s White Dog Café’s chocolate lava cake:

tcc’s dark devotion:

All were pretty good, but Bakerzin’s warm chocolate cake takes the top spot!

It is served at just the right temperature (warm chocolate lava complements the cold vanilla ice cream), the perfect quantity (too much chocolate can get too rich, too little too unsatisfying), and with strawberries and syrup (so that the chocolate doesn’t get too cloying after a while).

I think Bakerzin has made the perfect warm chocolate cake. Does anyone have any other recommendation for this sinful dessert? I’m game to try it!
