Overeasy @ Liat Tower (Orchard Road)

The famous stretch of Orchard Road welcomes OverEasy's second outlet at Liat Tower. The second outlet is different from its Fullerton branch offering an American family and communal dining experience. This is also the exact same spot where Singapore's first McDonald is housed, paying homage to American dining culture at the iconic spot.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts 2.8/5

The dining experience at Overeasy begun with some starters. We started with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts ($12). The appearance was a bit unappetising but the saving grace has to be the deep fried crispiness and the sriracha dipping sauce. Not my preferred way of enjoying the brussels sprouts. I still like it to be crunchy.

Popcorn Chicken with Salted Caramel Popcorn 4/5

Don't say I don't warn you that the Popcorn Chicken with Salted Caramel Popcorn ($16) is very addictive. The chicken are coated in a thin layer of cornflake batter that is light and crispy. Pairing it with the sweet salted caramel popcorn, the awkward combination strangely works perfectly. How I wish I have a full bowl of these for my movie night every time.

Spicy Buffalo Wings 4.2/5

If you are in for a fiery delicious challenge, the Spicy Buffalo Wings ($16) will give you a fiery kick start to the meal. It comes in 4 spicy levels, with level 4 the hottest. For the daredevils, the restaurant also has a spicy wing roulette, adding some fun into the meal.

The Truffle Burger 4.2/5

What is American food without the burger right? A must try at Overeasy is the Truffle Burger ($28) which the patty is made of wagyu chuck blend sandwiched on toasted brioche bun, served with fries on the side. Topped with Swiss cheese, truffle mayo, sauteed onions and mushroom, this is one juicy goodness that you don't mind getting your hands messy.

Mac & Cheeks 4.2/5

The Mac & Cheeks ($22) is mac & cheese level up with braised beef cheeks, gruyere and parmesan. The combination of cheesy and bites of pulled braised beef cheeks gives the dish an addition lift in both taste and texture enjoyment.

Beer Can Chicken 4.5/5

A secret menu item at Overeasy is the Beer Can Chicken ($58). Do check with the kitchen as there are only limited quantity each day and it will take a while to cook it. However it will be worth the wait as the chick is extremely tender, juicy and flavourful. I will definitely go back for this.

Bourbon Donut Holes with Homemade Fudge 4/5

The dessert menu is a bit disappointing with only 3 selections. Nevertheless the Bourbon Donut Holes with Homemade Fudge ($12) is a delectable chewy finishing to the dinner.

I actually went to Overeasy without much expectation as I am not a big fan of American food. I have to say I left the place feeling satisfied and in fact impressed with some of the dishes. After a long day shopping at Orchard Road, pop into Overeasy with your shopping bags and you may get some freebies from the restaurant. This is some of the ongoing promotions to reward their guests.

Kwee Zeen @ Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa

Located in Sentosa Island of Singapore, with a great greeny surrounding and seaview is Kwee Zeen (pronounce as Cuisine), the Pan Asian Dining restaurant of the newly opened luxury hotel, Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa. The beautiful and elegant hotel has blended the historical architectural accents of the colonial buildings with its contemporary interiors and lush landscape, making in an endearing sanctuary for their guests.

Together with a group of foodies, we went down to Kwee Zeen on a Sunday for its Magnifique Sunday Champagne Brunch, offering a wide range of fine quality dishes paired with premium Taittinger Champagne. A total of 16 different ateliers is located around the restaurant, delighting diners in a sumptuous buffet feast.    

The selection of Oysters caught my attention when I walked passed the Seafood on Ice section. They have four different types of oysters from Irish, France, New Zealand and Canada.

A very nice touch by the restaurant is that they will bring a three tier seafood tray to the table. Guests can actually relax and soak into the casual atmosphere, enjoying the brunch while enjoying the beautiful sea view.

The seafood on ice section is really impressive with the 4 different types of crustaceans. There are Mud Crabs, Tourteax Crab, Boston Lobster, Brown Crab, Dungeness Crab and Flower Crab. My favourite is the Dungeness crab which has a lot of eggs and roes inside the shell.

Smoked salmon is rather common on buffet spread but Marinated Coffee Salmon definitely is something new and delicious for me.

Fresh sashimi and sushi are also available among the buffet spread.

At the Alfresco area, the noodle and live seafood station will delight guest that is looking for some Asian flavours. Noticed the wok in the background of the picture, love how the chef wok fried the Sambal Mussels a la minute.  You can also order your stir fried noodles here.

Just beside the noodle and live seafood section is the Indian food section. Do not miss this section. Their roti prata and curry is pretty good too.

From the cooked food section, I tried some of the dishes such as the Beef Rendang, Sambal Long Beans and Braised Pig Trotter. I wasn't having much expectation of these dishes but they surprise me in the execution. The kitchen must have a chef that knows his Asian dishes well.

Another appreciation I like about the Sunday Champagne Brunch at Sofitel Sentosa is that the chefs will actually periodically go around the tables with the different offerings from the buffet spread, bringing the food right to the guest's table. This is probably the very first hotel in Singapore to do this. The chef bringing the dim sum baskets around the tables has the deepest impression for me. I thought that is a good idea and it brings some local flavours, not the food but the whole experience into the Sunday brunch, just like how it is done in traditional dim sum house.

What got everyone excited at the end of the Sunday brunch is the handcrafted truffles. The sweet delights come with varies flavours in it and everyone was popping one after another truffles, to find out what mysterious flavours have the pastry chef comes up with.
