Universal Studios Singapore: Ancient Egypt

No hotel stay, holiday, food or any amount of counselling can heal this wound. But I appreciate the overwhelming support from my good friends, the well wishes & the opportunities that came my way last week. *Big hugs to all of you. Thank you so much…*

One particular friend whisked me off to Singapore last week for some R & R. A one day pass for Universal Studios was shoved into my hands & I found myself at the entrance of the Resorts World Sentosa early one morning.

1st thing I did was to get myself a “map” of course..

Brotzeit, Mid Valley – RM28++ SET LUNCH, Sausages, Apple Strudels & Pork Medallions!!!

This post adds together all the food I have consumed over numerous trips. And to answer a particular commenter in my previous post HERE; yes, we do pay for our meals. Leonard Foong is a friend & we (bloggers) are there to support him in the business, not leaching complimentary meals each time we are at Brotzeit!

This particular visit was a late dinner, hence the bad lighting & less than perfect pics.

A round of beer to start the night..

Pork knuckles (RM85), are a must.

No German F& B outlet is complete without sausages in its menu & we took the platter (Wurstelplatte) consisting of spicy chicken sausages, pork bratwurst, mini pork cheese sausages, weisswurst  sausage, garlic sausage + sauerkraut as an all round tasting platter of what Brotzeit has to offer from its repertoire of sausages. (RM78)

2nd round! Nathalie’s Gourmet Studio – Oct (2010) Menu !

For previous posting and an idea of Nathalie’s specialties:

June & July’s menu is HERE..
** August Menu HERE..plus..
** September Menu: HERE, and latest post –
October Menu: HERE.

Like I have predicted in my previous post, I’ll be back for more of the Oct’s menu & here I am 😉

Truth to be told, I have lost the inspiration to blog. Words failed to come, the enthusiastism has died & I have stopped all discussions with my programmer for my blog revamp. I have put in a lot into this blog, and would prefer to keep it going. It used to be my source of comfort. After 4 days of not logging in my wordpress to edit/start a new post, I realized I actually didn’t give a damn anymore.

For now, I will keep descriptions short & simple & share photos instead. Generally that’s not my style; but it takes inspiration & happiness within to spin a story, both of which I’m devoid of now. I hope in time things will be different. Currently, the prior commitments I have made to PR companies, projects undertaken with promise of a blog post & those half written drafts in my archives are actually the drive factor for me to blog.  In a way I’m thankful, I guess. ..half-hearted articles or complete halt; I’m not sure which is worse.

And surprise surprise… I’m back for my Oct month fix of French fusion cuisine here at Nathalie’s.
Hehe, that’s expected isn’t it, since I’ve been back every month once or twice at least. 😉

The routine is now familiar; the crusty bread with the lovely creamy butter starts off the meal.

By now, each visit to Nathalie’s has become an anticipated culinary lesson for my partner and I. We started off with numerous photo shots to immortalize the visual feast, then moving on to dissect the dish as we start our private little quiz figuring out the ingredients. This is followed by a test of the tastebuds as we savour each bite and each component on the dish, appreciating the play of flavours & textures working in harmony in each one.

Now, who says eating can’t be educationally fun? 😉

Roasted Pineapple Tart, Exotic Fruit Sorbet RM19 was the last dish but it is so pretty that I just had to begin my post today with it.
