The Coastal Settlement

In the last post I mentioned that X said we would celebrate Valentines' day on that coming Saturday. So this was where he brought me after we watched Wicked!

The Coastal Settlement.
I fell in love with this place.

It's a long drive away, especially when we stay in the West. But it was definitely worth travelling for.
Pretty in the day, and prettier at night.


Parking lots are available in the compound.


This is the only path that leads into the restaurant. It allows you to see the beautiful exterior of the restaurant!

Cute menus

The Coastal Settlement is extremely carefully designed with great efforts. Every corner is filled with vintage items and pieces that will wow you. From vintage motorbikes to a bmw, chairs and chains hanging on the ceiling, wooden furniture and telephones from the past, this place is AMAZING.

I'll let the photos do the talking!











Eiffel beer tower! Order a tower of beer and your beverage will be presented in this cute iconic tower!






Functional drawers used to keep cutlery


Incredible.
















Wild Mushroom soup - $14
Soup was thick and the taste of mushroom is strong but not overwhelming
There are a few types of mushrooms in the soup.
The truffle drops were a perfect addition to the soup, making you drool even before you taste the soup as it's sooo fragrant.

We really liked it


Truffle mushroom fettuccine - $21
Sauteed wild mushrooms, Enoki mushrooms, creamy truffle sauce, white wine reduction, shaved parmesan, fresh chives.

After the mushroom soup, this dish was a mushroom overload for me. Haha
It's fragrant and the fettuccine was well-cooked.
The mushrooms were juicy and full of flavour.
However, I felt that the dish was lacking a little in its taste.
Although its a cream-based dish, you won't really get sick of it!




Cheese burger - $26
Wagyu beef patty, melted smoke cheddar cheese, sliced mushrooms, bacon strips, mesclun salad, fries

Just look at that, doesn't it make you hungry!

As usual, X ordered the burger... Haha but I must agree that he made the right choice this time round. The patty was juicy and tasty! I really liked it. Also, the burger had everything! Bacon, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes. The taste of everything together was really good according to him. Haha the burger is pretty huge and posed quite a challenge hahaha but X enjoyed his burger and the fat fries




When night falls,





Entrance


Gorgeous.




CUTE CARRR





Really really amazing, and breathtaking.
Remind me again why I should shift to the east?

So happy that X brought me here! I love vintagey things and I had fun exploring the whole place and looking at everything. I can't think of any reason why anyone wouldnt love it here. On top of its beauty, service is excellent. The staff were very attentive and they asked us how our food was. I like their warm attitude and the effort they took to make sure our time there was enjoyable and pleasant.

Looking for a place to impress your date? This is certainly the place. This is definitely one of the prettiest restaurants in Singapore.

Beaulieu House

It was Valentines' Day but we didn't have plans because X said that we'd celebrate it on Saturday!
We just decided to go for a simple dinner but had a hard time deciding where to go as we'd expected everywhere to be really crowded. The smartypants came up with the idea of visiting Beaulieu House all the way at Sembawang. Haha and so here we were


You'll have to walk through the park after parking at the nearest carpark : carpark 1












We had to sit indoors as the outdoor seats were reserved for couples who were having the Valentines' couple set. It's priced at $138++ if I'm not wrong.

I was hoping that they'd have Western food but they said that they only have Western food if we ordered the sets. Ala-carte wise, there's only Chinese food.

Food was served pretty quickly after we placed our orders.

Seafood Fried rice - $10
The fried rice was pretty average but there was really little ingredients, especially eggs


Chicken with Thai Sauce - $12
The chicken was crispy and we quite liked it. 


The thai sauce had a really strong lemongrass taste which may be too overwhelming for some


Salted egg yolk squid -$14
The squid tasted more like butter squid.
There was a strong taste of butter and hardly any eggyolk ):


We took a walk after dinner







This is Beaulieu House for you. Pretty, serene and peaceful but food isn't that great. We spent 40++ after drinks, gst and service charge. Staff were attentive, helpful and efficient.

We liked the place. So beautifully hidden and just a stone's throw away from the sea.
It's quite an ideal place to bring your loved ones!

Sugalight Factory

Invited Food Tasting

We were really honoured to receive an invitation from Sugalight Factory to try their awesome icecream! They're located along Joochiat place and Sugalight Factory isn't hard to locate at all. Parking is readily available by the roadside or in the public carpark just a road away.








The really nice and friendly people behind Sugalight!


Sugalight's sugar-free ice creams are made on-site and were the result of intensive in-house research and development.
The conventional sugar is replaced by a natural premium sweetener called Xylitol.
Xylitol has zero net carbs, prevents tooth decay and is the healthier choice even as a sweetener for your regular coffee and tea. According to Sugalight's staff, customers who are slightly diabetic have tried their ice-cream and apparently, it does not cause their blood glucose level to spike after consumption. Definitely an option for people watching their sugar in-take. Guilt-free ice cream!


Sixteen different flavours for you to choose from! We asked the staff what are some of their favourite flavours and they are Cookie Monster(cookies and cream), Mint and Durian!

We tried many of their flavours and I really liked the durian one! Haha

Each scoop of icecream is only priced at $3! And $5 for double scoop!


Cute bear


A variety of sugarless confectionery


My cappuccino icecream!
The icecream is smooth and yummy. It isn't too sweet and it's really ideal for people who think that most icecream out there are too sweet! My grandma is a little on the diabetic and high blood pressure side and she tries to refrain from too much sweet stuff. I brought home a tub of cappuccino icecream from Sugalight and she liked it! I've gotten her other premium ice-cream brands before but she always found them too sweet. This time, it suits her taste buds just fine.


Strawberry Bliss!
X liked his strawberry icecream! You would expect ice-cream without the usual sugar to be a little on the tasteless side but no. On the contrary, the ice-cream has a rich strawberry flavour minus the sweet aftertaste.


If you find Joo Chiat too far away for you, Sugalight offers free home delivery for orders above S$50 islandwide! They have been awarded the Health Promotion Board's Healthier Snack Symbol and they are currently in the process of obtaining the healthier choice logo for their ice-cream!
Do head on down to Sugalight for healthy guilt-free icecream!

Thanks for having us Elgin! (:
