Addictions

Met up with J for a movie. I was still getting used to driving in Singapore and so I was still not certain of the roads and routes. Had my GPS to help me and the bloody thing literally kept me going circles around the war memorial in town ! Thank goodness I had a rough idea of where Marina Square is and so managed to find the carpark and parked. Phew !

We were early and so decided to have dinner first. But we had no idea where. So we just wandered around Marina Square hoping we'd see something we like.


Addictions was pretty empty and so we were reluctant. We continued to wander around but nothing else really grabbed us. So we decided to dine at Addictions.

The menu is mostly western with a  little asian twist here and there. I ordered the truffle fries ! I love love love it ! And it was wonderful !!! Shoestring fries - tick, hot from the fryer - tick, heady aroma of truffle oil - tick, parmesan topping - tick, sauces - tick , tick tick tick !!! Amazing.

Truffle Fries with Dips

I had the Eggs Royale - which is english muffins, smoked salmon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.  It was ok - nothing much to swoon about. But I loved that their water is pink. I thought they were serving us a soft drink and I asked for water. The staff went on to explain that they steep cherries in the water thus the pink hue. Ooh ! how creative !

Eggs Royale with mushrooms

J had a tortilla wrapped chicken sausage which she said was really good. She couldn't finish it all and the staff gladly helped her put it in a takeaway container.

We didn't have dessert as during the time we wandered around, I had seen a Lady M and was hell-bent on getting a crepe cake. I remember Oprah raving about it in one of her shows.

All the other cakes looked so good but we were pretty stuffed by then. So just a slice of the crepe cake. It was heaven in a slice. A gazillion layers of thin french crepes held together with creme pattisiere. The final layer caramelized with a blowtorch. It was absolutely decadent. Light, delicious, what I'd imagine heaven to be like. Sigh.
