Christmas day @ Keppel Bay

10:25 AM Unknown 0 Comments

Finally had little time for myself to draft down some posts for the past few days. It was fun filled with activities, basically everyday I will be out of house to attend parties/ dating/ gathering. There will be 3 new posts coming up so prepared to fall asleep while reading it. 

On the Christmas day itself, I had a date with my BOY and we spent our time well despite having 5 hours of rest. This time, it was a neat little brunch place in a quaint and beautiful location that caught my eye: I brought him over to Marina @ Keppel bay as I have always been wanted to try Prive cafe. The cafe, located on Keppel Island,  serves comfort food, with a reasonable price tag. 


The reason why I want to visit this site: it is just situated next door to BLOCK A at "Refiections@Keppel" Condo
















At the Prive cafe: 



All day breakfast is served from 9.30am to 5pm. After 11.30am, a much wider variety of dishes are prepared.  The best thing about Prive Café is the ambience. Diners can enjoy the view of the waterfront (and the many yachts parked there). If you wish to dine at the alfresco area, do check the weather forecast. Although the area is sheltered, if the rain is heavy, you will still get wet.  

Despite it is a public holiday, we were lucky to get seats given the relative seclusion of the place. We opted to try both their brunch and their other menu options just to get a taste of everything.



Dessert display never fails to attract me. On the menu, there are other dessert options which are more fancy.



We didnt order that much as we wanted to save some space for dinner. So ended up, we had S'more cupcakes ($4) and a plate of big breakkie. I can hardly say no to cupcakes, not to a glass pane full of them. S'more is basically a base of graham crackers, a vanilla pound cake, topped with toasted mini marshmallows. So dry and the cupcakes consisted of soft melted marshmallow which stuck in between of my teeth. Doesn’t it look like a mini bucket of popcorn? 


Prive's Ultimate Brekkie - $20
(2 eggs (any style), 6-inch chicken frankfurter, maple-roasted bacon, roasted Roma tomato, sauteed button mushrooms, potato rosti and homemade wholemeal toast)
To start, their take on the all-day breakfast, Prive’s Ultimate Brekkie ($20). It comes with a pork sausage, maple-roasted bacon, roasted tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, hash browns, and toast. On top of that, you get two eggs done in whichever style you like, which is a nice option to have. The poached eggs were excellent, perfectly done, though it came to the table almost cold, which was a disappointment. Everything else was done quite well too. Their English pork sausage was one of the highlights on the plate. For $20, it’s a bit pricier than the average breakfast at other brunch locations, but it was definitely tasty.

Service:
Exceptionally good service and it was extremely prompt. Our glasses of water were refilled very regularly and they were very attentive to our every need. :)

Atmosphere:
Another 9/10 for me. Haha look at the visuals below if you don't believe. We were dining next to the sea with all the pretty yachts parked and it was like we were away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while. It was so serene and felt really relaxing for a change. Extremely great for dates too hehe. :)










Hope this helped! Oh and to get to Keppel Bay, you can either walk from Vivo, take a bus and walk in or just take a cab (RECOMMENDED). We walked in that day since we convinced ourselves (Or rather B convinced me) not to take a cab least we become really broke after the meal. Which we still did even though we did not cab.


Window shopping afterwhich looking for my evening gown for his Social night but came back home empty-handed. HAHA.


Our dinner was settled at Japanese Gourmet Town. This restaurant has 3 different brands which consist of Botejyu from Osaka, Yoshimi from Hokkaido, and Ajisen from Kyushu. Apparently, these restaurants hail from different parts of Japan, though I'm not sure if they necessarily specialise in the various food offered. Singaporeans may be more familiar with Ajisen Ramen, so if you're coming here you might want to try the other two. Not all dishes are offered though, sadly, because I initially wanted to order some omu-soba which looked really good on the menu.



I can't remember the name for this dish but its Egg tofu with beef patty.




And that day I received gifts from B's Mum and sister. This dress that was bought from his Mum. Usually sleeve dress doesn't suit me but when I tried putting it on, I was appalled that it looks good on me despite the fact that I have short legs. The waistline fits on my waist nicely and drafted out my figure perfectly. Gonna thanks his Mum for making me look different, like a total changeover and not forgetting for her good eyesight.


 Chocolate from B. And small effiel tower keychain engraved with my name from his sister. Pretty ideal gifts and collection.

New added perfume collection. Katy perry and CK perfumes from Mum and brother.


And last but not least, I bought some accessories for Boy's Mum and his sisters. Lovely accessories from Lovisa and it is really pretty that I want to keep one for myself especially the ear studs. 

Couldn't ask for much for this Christmas. I have all I had. Spending my first Christmas together with the best man, spending my time with both families. Thinking of all I want for Christmas is YOU, this Christmas wish has fulfilled (: I couldn't ask for much for being so grateful to have you for my Christmas (:

Till Then.
