Having tried Thai-Spanish fusion, I decided to give the European Swiss cuisine a try for our New Year celebration.

We headed off to The Tavern Restaurant, where we were greeted with a Swiss Chalet-inspired
theme.


And they even prepared some New Year celebration 'tools' in the anticipation that you might stay till midnight.


Escargot and lobster bisque were on our menu this time, as we also enjoyed a complimentary raspberry sorbet.


For our main course, I had some beef with avocado (one whole fruit in fact!), and the Boy had some pork chop with apple sauce. Both tasted fantastic, and we could not help enjoying ourselves to the fullest!


Dessert however was a disaster with the baked alaskan. Even with the lure of brandy for this dessert was not enough to save him from the saccarhine overload, nor me from the overdose of meringue.

But I guess overall we still enjoyed our experience at the Tavern. The waiters/waitresses were warm, and our entrees and mains were sumptuous. We can jsut count ourselves unlucky to have chosen a dessert which we both didn’t like. Not to mention that I got to spend lovely time with my partner, so that makes up for all the dislikes =)

Happy new year my dear!

Raphel and I decided to spend our New Year's eve at Clarke Quay, as we went to Central for some window shopping, hoping that we can catch the festivities later on in the area.

That was when we decided to indulge in our all-time favourite Japanese cuisine, with Waraku as our choice of restaurant.

Check out his happy face just by looking at the food!!

Anyway, after dinner, we realised that we were actually a tad too early, as the events only begin at 10pm! With us not willing to wait for such a long time, we decided to take a slow walk to City Hall area to just check out the crowd, before making our way back (I do not take to crowds too well, hence the decision to miss the fireworks this year).

That was when we discovered the very lovely Elgin Bridge. I never knew that they lit it as well, as I actually spent a long time trying to grab a nice picture of it with a bumboat in view.

And I felt that red was actually the nicest of the colours.
