The Club 1st Anniversary Celebration!

The Club marks its first anniversary with the launch of a new dining concept -The  Disgruntled  Brasserie. Managed  by  popular  bar  and  dining  chain Harry’s International,  The  Club  is unique  in  its  design, amenities  and  personalized  services. Housed  within  a charming  19th century  colonial  building,  it offers a selection of tastefully-designed boutique rooms that offers a luxe-for-less stay experience, as  well  as  distinctive  restaurants  and  bars  that  have garnered a  cult  following  amongst  discerning locals and travellers alike since its inception.

The newly launched Disgruntled Brasserie is a casual take on its predecessor, where the food philosophy stays true to the concept of large plates and small plates. This modern European brasserie has a more inviting and relaxed environment where guests can indulge in a rich epicurean journey.

The revamped décor at The Disgruntled Brasserie pays tribute to The Club’s iconic heritage location with a photo wall featuring pictures of local hawkers and street traders. Perfect for hearty breakfast,lunch meetings and dinner celebrations, The Disgruntled Brasserie has an all-day dining menu that includes classic breakfast selections and a High-tea set for two that offers well-curated selections such as Deviled Eggs, Mini Shepherd’s Pie and Mini Smoked Chicken & Granny Smith Croissants. 

At the anniversary party, we got to try out some of the small plates such as the Deviled eggs, Beet-cured Salmon, Beef Tartare and more.

Spearheaded by Head Chef Jacq Lim, other exciting dishes to look forward to includes Lobster Thermidor, Roasted Pumpkin Agnolotti and a foreseeable crowd favourite, the Foie Gras Beef Burger. We tried the Baked Miso Cod and the Foie Gras Beef Burger and I found the former a little too salty, tho understanding that miso was used, I still felt that it was a little too saltish to finish.

Look at the Foie Gras hiding in the patty!

Head Chef Jacq Lim explains that in the new menu line-up, they are serving food that they take comfort in. Which meant no-frill hearty dishes with big, bold, punchy flavours. Coupled with the new breakfast and High-tea options, customers can look foward to satisfying their cravings at wallet-friendly prices.

Sticky date pudding & Lemon Tart

After the hearty dinner, we headed to B28 for a look into the prestige bar which is kind of like our idea of secret hideout. Hidden in the basement of The Club, there are live Jazz performances on Friday & Saturday nights for your enjoyment.

We had the Old Fashioned ($16) - made up of Bourbon, Bitters and Orange Peel for that citrus kick. This is way too strong for me. Haha. I'm feel that I'm more of a cocktail person.

Then we headed up to the only Peruvian Bar in Singapore - Tiger's Milk. It has a really beautiful view of the CBD with very unique decorations. They serve delicious grills and many Peruvian dishes along with their wide range of concoctions.

We got to try the Pisco Sour - A cocktail made with Pisco, Lemon & Egg whites. YES egg whites! It is then shaken to a frothy finish with a dash of angostura bitters. The Pisco has a whopping 40% Alcohol volume, I call it "The Plain Water of Death" . Haha!

In  line  with  its  first  anniversary,  The  Club is  offering a  special  package for  anyone  looking  for  a getaway. At  $288,  The  Club  offers  guests  the  opportunity  to  celebrate  their  own  anniversary  and create long lasting memories together.

Cedele by Bakery Depot - Eat Well Be Well

*Sponsored*

At Cedele, they offer classic comfort food with a creative twist, blending traditional foods with flavours from our culinary roots for delicious cross-cultural dishes. With their extensive bakery selection as well as the various outlets, some with All-day-dining options that serve starters, mains, desserts and artisan coffee & tea options.

I visited the Wheelock All Day Dining Branch one fine evening to try out their all day breakfast! This outlet has a baked good section as well as homemade items like Jams and Chips. They even have the Chinese New Year Goodies displayed as well!

 I was seated in the restaurant for a good 20 minutes while waiting for my friend to arrive and I was not served a glass of water at all. So I thought that maybe we had to order stuffs first before getting served drinks, so I waited for my friend to arrive, ordered. Still no water served. You may say that I'm kicking a fuss over this but why does every table occupied in the restaurant has water being served except mine? I had to request for the water. What is this?

Tea Lovers Rejoice! Cedele serves Caffine Free Wellness Teas!

Just like the Wolfberry Longan, It contains Longan with wolfberries & Red Dates, sweetened with organic unrefined sugar, is a very good blood purifier that can also improve eyesight & enhances the immune system. It's a recipe that we can all try at home for a better health!
The Earl Grey Lavender - Ceylon, Oolong and Darjeeling estate tea leaves delicately infused with oil of bergamot and combined with blue lavender. Perfect for a morning pick-me-up ot as a late afternoon treat. Pictured is only a cup because it was complimentary from the Big Breakfast Set ordered.

Wolfberry Longan ($5.80 per pot)

Earl Grey Lavander Tea ($5.80 Per Pot)

Patty Cakes consist of Crab Scallion and Spiced moist Chermoulah Chicken, served with Citrus Lime Sauce. I personally prefered the Crab Scallion as it was more juicy and flavourful, the spiced chermoulah chicken patty was not as juicy however.

Patty Cakes ($10.00)

When I saw the Chilli Crab Pasta on the menu, I had to order it because the Singaporean in me was screaming for it. Crabmeat cooked with Red Chilli Tomato Sauce, finish with spiced Soft Shell Crab. The first plate came to me where the pasta was not cook thoroughly, a little surprised, I sent it back to the kitchen. 2nd plate came, pasta was more cooked but to me it still was a little tough, maybe it's because I like my pasta softer. The aroma of the chilli crab was pretty strong but the taste did not manage to match up to the aroma. Maybe it was my pasta choice.. just maybe..

Chilli Crab Pasta ($17.50)

I love Breakfast for Dinner. Cedele's Big Breakfast Set was a hearty one. Consisting of Brioche, Bacon Rashers, Sausages, Scrambled Eggs, Mushrooms & Tomatoes. With a Choice of Long Black or Tea. My favourite on the plate would have to be the scrambled eggs, they are done just the way I like them, fluffy and a little creamy. 

Big Breakfast Set ($18.80)

And what's a meal without desserts right? Caramel + Sea Salt + Cheesecake = YES PLEASE! A very smooth Cheesecake with Toffee Sweet & Salty Combination, perfect for those who are afraid that cheesecakes are too sweet, this one's for you! The Apple Cinnamon Pancake Fell short as it wasn't fluffy enough and the cinnamon apples were not mushy enough. The scoop of their home made ice cream did make it all better though. :)

Apple Cinnamon Pancake with Ice Cream ($10.20 Single Scoop / $13.30 Double Scoop).

Caramel Sea Salt Cheesecake ($6.50/ Slice)
