Early birthday dinner with Dear at Spruce!

Spruce is located along Tanglin Road and it is directly opposite the Brunei Darussalam. It might seem tucked away and hidden from public view, but it isn't a terribly difficult place to locate because of the prominent landmark opposite it. Spruce is popular with Caucasians and locals alike, presumably because of its good food and quaint surrounding.

For drinks, Dear ordered their Spruce Lemonade with Mint and I ordered their Blood Orange Negoroni (Blood Orange, Campari & Martini Rosso).

For starter, we ordered their Spicy Crab and Artichoke Dip.

This one is so flavourful and delicious and it goes well with the Tortilla chips! It was simply addictive and I am craving for it now!

For main, I ordered their Whole Roasted Snapper with herb salad and lemon Jam. The snapper was served whole, a nice departure from fillets. The fish was very fresh and the lemon jam and salad brought out the flavors perfectly!

For main, Dear ordered their Rotisserie Chicken with lemon, broccoli, thyme and desiree potato. In general, the chicken were cooked to perfection, it was tender and juicy!

It was overall a pleasant and nice dining experience over at Spruce, with good quality of food and services!

The following day, I meet up with Meifang for dinner at Oomphatico's located at Tanglin Mall!

Meifang introduced to me this whimsical cafe that was tucked in a quiet corner of Tanglin Mall. Oomphatico's - that was the name of the enchanting restaurant. Upon entering, I was immediately drawn by the laidback and quirky decor as well as the dessert counter with a variety of colourful cupcakes, pastries and cakes for us to choose from!
