Needed a quick lunch and since this was just 1 minute from the hotel I was staying in, dashed in for a quick bite.
Basically a pub with nce alfresco and inside seating. 3 large screens showing sports. There is a small stage with band instruments, I guess the band comes on in the evening.
Ordered a shepard's pie. OMG the serving was so so huge! But it was sure a delicious pie. I think I am going back there tonight to catch the Abu Dhabi F1 race and a beer.

I need another 30 days this December!!!
This is the craziest December in my entire working life. I have never been this busy and stressed in December ever before.
Everyone is taking leave except me :(
I need to clear 10 days of Annual Leave, I think 5 days of Childcare leave and 2-3 days of off-in-lieu.... before the year ends. And how many working days left? 7! SEVEN!

Popeyes
Just found out that Popeyes now has an outlet at Square 2. Great news for me as I no longer have to take a taxi to Singapore Flyer just to satisfy my craving during lunch.
Ordered the 2 piece meal. Can choose between New Orleans Spicy and Louisiana Mild. Tried the spicy one. There is also a choice of side dish: corn, mashed potato, coleslaw and french fries. Of course, the set is not complete without the buttermilk biscuit.
Chicken is nicely fried, not too oily, very crispy and yet juicy. Even the breast meat was not tough.
The fries are crispy and they stay crispy throughout the meal.
The biscuits are warm, buttery, flaky and melts in your mouth.
While you are not supposed to compare Southern Fried Chicken with KFC, one just can't not compare. LOL. Price-wise, for a 2 piece meal, I think Popeyes is a tad more expensive than KFC, but I can assure you that in terms of quality and satisfaction, Popeyes is miles ahead.

The Handburger at Raffles City
Tried The Hand Burger at Raffles City last Sunday.
According to them, everything at The Handburger is made with hands, thus the name.
Ryan ordered the kids meal. It comes with a choice of cheeseburger or fish burger, with chunky fries, buffalo winglets, a cup of freshly squeezed apple juice and a cup cake. Not cheap at $9.50 but I guess it was pretty good value for money.
The mushroom soup was thick with chunky pieces of mushrooms.
I ordered the Original Hand Burger, which was made up of 150g of grilled NZ ribeye beef patty, sweet onion jam, cheddar cheese, homemade bbq sauce, lettuce, tomato on a toasted caramelised onion bun. Of course, I could not resist adding bacon to my order!
It was a delightful meal. The bun was tasty, the beef patty was juciy and not dry, just nice serving of veggie.
Next time got to try their The Works Burger and some of the interesting looking drinks on the menu.

Wife Biscuit (老婆饼 ) from Wing Wah (荣华）
Legend has it that back in feudal China, a daugther-in-law offered herself for sale in return for money to cure her ill-health father-in-law. IN a desperate attempt to redeem his wife, the husband created a gourmet cake for sale in the bazaar. His product did pay off with the proceeds saved. The couple was able to get together again and lived happily ever after. His recipe later spread from place to place, winning the name "wife cake".
Got this sweet flaky pastry from HK airport. I bought the traditional version, there are so many varieties and flavours to choose from : sesame, white lotus, red bean..... etc Went with the original flavour which is winter melon paste. Found it a little dry, probably due to use of less oil. Sweetness was just about right for my liking.
Maybe will try the other flavours when I return to Hong Kong in December.
