Bedrock Bar & Grill



It's that bloody Jamon Iberico again! Haha but this time is was oh-so-tasty and moist, arriving in generous portions which were properly sliced, unlike the dried-up chunks that we previously had to endure at Spruce. Yonks better than what we paid for previously, and cheaper too! The nuttiness and silky fattiness of the meat makes me weak in my porky knees every single time... Pig in my favourite form, yum!



500g medium rare T-bone for you Ma'am? Incredibly juicy and perfectly cooked, I had a hard time deciding whether to continue stuffing my face with this slab red meat, or to attend to the pain sensors on my bursting belly and overloaded feedback loops in my brain. I chose the former, naturally...



Wayyyy too (sickly) sweet, flat-finished, and unrefined Napanook recommended by the manager/our server that I can aptly describe as "never again!". I should have heard the warning bells ring when he pronounced Bordeaux as "Boar-dyuks"...

-_-



And to end it off, some extremely nasty tasting COUGH syrup masquerading as a cherry/apricot (memory fails me) liqueur, "on the house". But of course, who in their right mind WOULD drink that willingly? Dessert was dismal, a sad sweet mush of ice-cream & caramel sandwiched between two soggy biscuits (haa) soaked in some nonsensical sweet alcohol (again) which no doubt classifies it as a serious diabetes independent risk factor.

Verdict: Go for the meat, leave the dessert, but whatever you do, don't trust a server who tells you the "Boar-dyuks" are pretty good but would you care to try a wine that I personally really like?

Tian Mi Mi Desserts @ East Coast Road

To satisfy our (my) craving for Pulot Hitam at 1130pm, we zoomed down to East Coast Road before catching Capitalism: A Love Story (BIG YAWN) to Tian Mi Mi (open till 2am) which I had earlier read about on some forum while I was surfing around for late nite bites.



Without being absolutely disgusting and sharing too much information, lets just say that the bland dessert (with ice cream, that was my mistake) at $2.80 didn't taste that bad but certainly felt nasty when it rumbled out the wrong end this morning in a watery, undigested mess.

Yucks.

Never again.

Egg custard (bastard) gave me really bad wind too. Erughhhh ack... I think I should stick to regular hawker centre fare from now on. No coconut milk at 1130 pm as well... mmm

Images from an English Summer long since past

It was on one of those long Summer days that I found myself wandering aimlessly around Hyde Park, savouring everything that I had missed and will miss dearly in the time to come. Reminiscing about the times I huffed and puffed whilst attempting to jog around the Serpentine, my attempts at rollerblading from my flat in Queensway to Gloucester Road via Kensington Gardens and nearly killing myself skidding down a giant hill, and all those times I had to avoid creepy leering middle eastern and Russian men circling the park trying to pick up anything in a skirt. "Why you run? I just want to make friend! You no like me?"

And those ducks, those damn ducks... Cute you say? "Some bread for you, darling?" Yeah cute, until they peck ur bloody fingers off... haa!

























What I miss the most about my Summers in England are those unexpected bouts of perfect weather in an otherwise dreary week, month, season... Amidst all the rain and slosh and grime, my heart still longs for just one more, just another perfect Summer sipping Pimms & lemonade on the balcony, soaking up the rays and avoiding pigeon shit in one of London's many parks, discovering a new patisserie with its white-washed walls and floral table cloths, and chasing that feeling, that dreamy, almost sticky, cool-wind-in-your-hair sensation, the smell of suncream, the taste of strawberries & gazpacho, and a slightly-disorienting drunk feeling of bliss...

That is what I crave.
