THE COALITION DINNER AT MANDARIN GALLERY.






Another week, another round of meeting and feast at the Mandarin Gallery. This time our circle expanded, ‘Miss Glitzy Monologue’, and ‘Story of A Dot’ joined in!

We sat down for a quiet dinner (not until I open my mouth that is!) at Thai Thai— Royal Thai Cuisine. The interior, like the name suggested, was fit for a royalty. Service was excellent and definately worth every dollar paid. For appetizers, I had a platter of unfamiliar food; soft shell crab, crackers topped with chicken floss and betel leaf wrapped with lotus flower, sprinkles of toasted coconut and topped with shrimp paste. I had flashback of how my mum used to rub betel leaf on my mouth except this one was a burst of flavors, not tears. For entrĂ©e, Bagaholicboy and Ridhwan ate something with Poo. I repeat, they both ate Poo. (Poo means crab. Spelt with a ‘b’ not ‘p’. Hah.)

And my favorite part? It had to be dessert at Jones The Grocer! We ordered the ahem, ‘usual’ consisting of chocolate and vanilla ice cream topped with biscuit, cheese platter, fruit tarts, berries cheesecake, fruit shakes, tea and oh god I can’t remember, there were too many! We didn’t get to finish most of it and how I wished I had the leftovers with me now. Should have let my aunty instinct kick in and packed the leftovers next time.

Speaking of next time, till then! Oh by-the-way, The Coalition is coming to a playhouse near you.

TIFFIN CLUB, SINGAPORE.















If you have an exquisite taste but no liking for the formality of fine dining, Tiffin Club is the place for you. The restful multi-story, which includes an outdoor sitting area and a loft cum workspace above the main dining place, will provide you with endless tranquility throughout your time at Tiffin.

Menu of tasty tapas, English pies, crisp salads, home-style sandwiches and Sri Lankan curries is complemented by a wine bank of carefully selected and imported alcoholic grape juices to catalyze cross-cultural cravings and conversations.

I believe Tiffin is the only place in Singapore with ‘vending’ wine dispenser (which is really affordable compared elsewhere), great for wine tasting! I haven’t personally had any of the main course or appetizers but it looks promising. Best of all, it won’t burn a hole in your pocket.

Tiffin club is inviting you for a unique happy hour, on 17th Dec, 6pm to 9pm featuring a photography contemporary exhibition by Swedish artist Agneta Ekstrand. Please RSVP to massi@thetiffinclub.com or text 98120586.
