Bedrock Bar & Grill @ Pan Pacific Serviced Suites

I have been wanting to check out Bedrock Bar & Grill for the longest time after reading many good reviews about this place. I am a person that will try to avoid crowds so hardly will I make my way down to Orchard Road. In a rare occasion that I needed to go down to Orchard Road for some personal errand, I suggested dinner at Bedrock Bar & Grill. Moreover, I know the Entertainer App allows me to enjoy 1 for 1 main course. Imagining getting a $79 main course free and that is less than what I paid for get the full version of the Entertainer App. In one meal, I already recovered my cost. You can download the Entertainer App at http://www.theentertainerme.com/singapore/

Flat Bread 4.5/5

After taking our orders, complimentary flat bread was served. Love the flat bread, it was so warm, soft and fluffy. With full view of the kitchen, I can see how these breads were freshly made. Besides the butter, roasted garlic in olive oil is also served here as a spread for the bread. Love the garlic spread with the bread, excellent pairing for enjoying the flat bread to the fullest.

Smoked Tomato Soup 4/5

My partner took a sip of the Smoked Tomato Soup ($14) and exclaimed, why is there a burnt taste? What a way to describe it. I explained that it was the smokiness from the applewood smoked tomato. The servicing was huge but I am not complaining. Personally I think it is good for sharing. The velvety and soothing soup with basil mascarpone was both hearty and comforting.

Broiled Sea Scallops 4.2/5

The plump Broiled Sea Scallops ($32) comes in a trio and served with jamon iberico confit, pinot noir reduction and drawn butter.  Succulent and sweet, a delicious starter to whet up the appetite.

Sauteed Mushrooms 4.2/5

To go with our steaks, we decided to have the Sauteed Mushrooms ($18) for our side dish. The serving for the earthy mushrooms was quite generous, cooked to a nice crunch with hints of white wine.

Pepper Steak 4.5/5

I decided to go for the Bedrock Pepper Steak ($79) which is served in a hot pan with the black peppercorn sauce at the side. The 300g Angus Beef Ribeye was juicy and flavourful. I like that the sauce is served at the side giving me the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful flavour of the beef. I ended up alternating between the natural flavour of the beef and the peppercorn sauce as I could not make up my mind which I preferred. Both were so good.

Striploin 4.2/5

My partner went for the 300g Australian Grass Fed Striploin ($79). Cooked to medium donenss, she chosen to pair it with classic bearnaise sauce. The buttery and creamy sauce went very well with the steak. There are also other options of red wine, chili oil, wholegrain whiskey mustard and chimichurri sauces. Do note all these sauces come at a $4 cost which I find that it should not be chargeable. In comparison, I still prefer the ribeye to the striploin as it's more flavourful

I am glad that I have finally eaten at Bedrock Bar & Grill. Their steak is really beautiful. On top of that the service was excellent. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. Price is on the steep side but it comes with quality and the portion is actually big. For budget hunter, you may want to purchase the Entertainer App to enjoy great saving with their 1 for 1 main course redemption.

Cozy Corner Coffee @ Everton Park

The enclave of Everton Park has been filling up with the aroma of coffee with many cafes setting up at the different pockets of the small housing estate. After making a round checking out the different spots at the estate, we decided to park ourselves at the Cozy Corner Coffee. Partly is also because this is the least crowded cafe among the others in the area.

Latte 4.2/5

Nowadays a lot of cafes are so popular that it has become kind of too crowded and noisy to really have the own time to enjoy a read while sipping a cup of coffee. Cozy Corner Coffee has managed to escape the radar and I was able to have some relaxing time over a cup of Latte ($4.50/$5.50). I was very impressed with the latte art more so that it was made by a Chinese lady probably in her 40s.. Most barista are usually quite young so I was quite curious in the mismatch outfit of a cafe and a auntie making my coffee.

Latte 4.2/5

Striking up a conversation with the lady Barista, I realised she is the owner of the cafe. It was her passion for a good cup of brew that she opened the cafe. She self thought herself the latte art spending thousands of dollar perfecting it, trying out different types of beans and milk. She was so knowledgeable and even can tell me the preferred taste of her customers. I could sensed the enthusiasm in her when we talked about coffee. I admired her spirit and dedication in learning something new especially at her age.

Pesto Chicken Paninis 3/5

Moving on to the food, the menu is not huge but this is quite expected for a cafe. I tried the Pesto Chicken Paninis ($7.80) which was decent but not fantastic.

Beef Spaghetti Bolognese 2.8/5

I could tell the Beef Spaghetti Bolognese ($7.80) was prepared by Chef Microwave. Eatable but also forgettable.

Waffle with Banana 4/5

The Waffles with Banana ($4.80) was way much better. It was crispy, buttery and fluffy. We did not go for the additional scoop of ice cream which costs an additional $1.20

There is also a featured graffiti wall drawn by a Lasalle student. This is the best part of the cafe that I like. Rounding up my experience at the Cozy Corner Coffee, I think the cafe should improve on the food. Maybe they should consider selling more pastries, cakes, tarts or cupcakes which is quite popular with the younger crowd and this goes well with coffee or tea.
