Bedrock

Have you ever passed by this restaurant whenever you walk from 313 to H&M and hoping that you will try it one day?

Yes, yes and yes for me. And my kind BFF brought me there!

Look so posh and romantic right?! It is not very expensive and the ambience is quite romantic..slightly quiet and dim inside. Everyone looks pretty :)

Because of the dim environment, my photos didn't do any justice, but I still want to share my experience there with you just in case you are keen to try out.

 A big piece of pig leg welcomed me...love it!

The ambience romantic right? When I walked in, I couldn't help myself from straightening my back and walking in gracefully, this place just looked high class...

The staff there were very helpful and approachable too..great service. Don't be shy to ask if you are not sure about the menu..

 On the house..I love to rub the garlic on my bread and sandwich the entire garlic clove!
 

If you do not like sour or dry wine, then this suits you. It's called Baby Doll on the menu at $15 per glass. Do try it!

Super fresh oysters..I swear that I've never had such fresh oysters before..forgot the price but if you love oysters, you should try it. It's juicy and smooth, with a hint of the sea...hmmmmmm..just a few drops of lemon and it can rock your mouth..

Bedrock smoked tomato soup ($14). They didn't joke about the tomato being smoked ok...kind of sour for me but my tomato-lover BFF liked it..

 

Bedrock mac n cheese ($18). This was highly recommended by the staff and it was really good! They included blue cheese and other cheeses into the soft macaroni..feels like home when I put a spoonful into my mouth..no other words can describe it other than "I'm home"...

Black Angus Striploin ($69)
Ok, I'm really sorry that this picture turned out to look like a black and white photo..my camera does not perform well under low light condition. Tried editing it the best I could without distorting it but failed. The steak was really big and thick, slightly dry but I guess it was because of the thickness. But hey, you will feel so sinful if it was greasy right?

Medium rare was really medium rare, nice....if you have eaten many steaks in your life, you should have the experience that it is either under or overcooked..but here they are professionals.

  

Finally, Creme Brulee! I like the caramelized skin but I tried to stop myself from finishing the cream with espresso kahlua because I was so full already! 

Warning: You can either starve yourself for 2 days to come here or you bring a friend along 'cause the portion served is quite large.

So here are my views:

Ambience 3.5/5
Food 3.5/5
Service 3.5/5
Price AffordableToilet Availability 2/5 (sharing with the restaurant next door)

Hong Kong Day 9 and 10

The last 2 days in HK were really nothing other than family days. We took our own sweet time waking up, showering, drinking Ah Huat coffee (yes we brought our own instant coffee to HK), watching abit local news...and left the hotel at 3pm. We didn't hunt for new food place, instead we ate at either the hotel restaurant or at the cafe opposite hotel with the comfort food. Nothing new.

Hong Kong Day 9

We went to Tsim Sha Tsui again as Dad hasn't go there for a long time...

The place as usual, very crowded and noisy..there was also bbq squid smell lingering in the air..

At the iSQUARE shopping mall, Dad bought me and mom watches! Yay!! But later on I also bought a silky night shirt for him that cost almost SGD100. My Dad is indeed a great businessman.

 

Time for dinner, and we continued our steamboat dinner at another famous steamboat restaurant near our hotel.

 Every table had its own tray of sauces..

This restaurant is famous for its beef, they are good, no doubt about it. Just that we wouldn't eat alot because of the price per plate. And also our vegetable that they put on someone else's table, the waitress just took from that table and gave it to us?!?! Naturally, I rejected that vegetable and asked for another kind of veg, in HK manner. wahahaha...

Hong Kong Day 10

It's the last day in HK! I felt abit relief that I can finally go home to see my furry kids. My Dad also going back to his workplace so we briefly had dim sum lunch in the hotel restaurant and we went separate ways. My Mom really loved the bread that I bought near the hotel so we decided to visit it again to buy more to eat on the plane. This bakery is originated from Taiwan and doing big...

Can you imagine they even release the schedule of the different bread taken off the oven? That shows how desirable the bread are! One good thing, they allow tasting of the individual bread for newbies to try!

They are so soft and yummy, not too sweet or not having fake flavour.. We ended up with 6 and ate our way back to SG. Hope they will open a few branches in SG, I will sure patronize them every week!

At around 5pm, we arrived at the airport to check in our luggage and do some duty free shopping.

One thing to remind you if you are coming back from HK, remember to check with the staff whether your gate is at the other terminal as you need to take the sky train there. This takes time if you intend to do shopping before boarding your plane. I've heard a friend of mine ever missed her flight because they were late already and didn't know they need to take this sky train to other side for their gate. So be alert.

Dinner time! We decided to have Itacho Sushi to avoid crowd. If you have been following my blog, you should have read the entry about it and I really like their food. Their good standards remain in HK too. Great dinner before the horrible flight food..

Please do not mistaken the green cat-poo-look-alike thing on my plate, they are pickles...

And Tada! My trip to HK has ended. Took some time to adapt my real life in SG and bearing the heat here but it is still better.

Happy National Day Singapore.

Hong Kong Day 7 and 8

My dad came to join us in HK from day 7 to our last day, he tends to go to the places that he's comfortable with (which we have already been to) so there isn't interesting place that I can update you all about.

Except the pictures of more delicious food.

I got feedback from my buddy that he couldn't read my blog late at night because it made him hungry...haha..it's true. I feel hungry now by looking at the pictures. I miss the food there...and nothing else. Definitely not the people.

Hong Kong Day 7

We went to Tsuen Wan to run some errands, we used to stay here previously but my dad sold the house so we stayed in the hotel, which is definitely more convenient and comfortable. Most HK houses are quite small and cramped together even though they are condos. Let alone their "HDBs".

We ended up eating desserts...the tapioca jellies are so bouncy and nice to chew...love it.

After the desserts, we walked around the market and saw fish shops..they sell albino frogs! So cute...but I afraid they are bought to feed arowana or luohan...

 Always find them cruel to pack many many fishes in small bags for who-knows how many days..

And then we walked passed this snake soup shop...this evil shop owner has many kind of wine too, including baby mice wine...I secretly took this picture while he wasn't looking to show everyone how evil some people can be. I believe there are thousand of dead baby mice in a bottle and he had 2 bottles!

 

After feeling unfair and angry about the baby mice, my dad brought us to an area where they consolidated all shops that sell cheap clothes. They also alter clothes here..Surprisingly, I managed to buy a cheap and nice backpack here..

 
It's finally dinner time and we decided to chop my dad for a steamboat dinner..unlike Singapore, steamboat in HK are mostly non-buffet and you got to order dish by dish at a price. 

So we took the MTR back to Prince station and I can't help but have to take this picture. Seems like Singapore is not the only place with busy phone consumers. They walk with eyes on the phone, some even have earphones in their ears which is super dangerous when crossing the road. What is so interesting on the phone that they can't wait to go to a corner and read? I don't see people so hardworking when they are studying.

Finally the steamboat place! I will only take pictures of the food that I think are interesting..the rest like lettuce or luncheon meat I shall leave it to your imagination.

Most steamboat places are super noisy, this is where people really sit down and enjoy a meal in no hurry. Unlike cafe where normally they are rushing their breakfast and lunch..life here really tough.

 sliced premium beef

 minced fish meat. I don't really enjoy this because I always swallowed fish bones.

duck intestine.

Hong Kong Day 8

Of course, we start the day with cafe food! My dad yearned for roasted meat for quite long so we satisfied him. The BBQ pork was soooooooooo good...

After the nice and sinful lunch, we strolled our way to Mongkok and temple street...

Along the way...I saw this retro mail box...

And then I revisited this Pharmacy again because I spotted another cat! So smart these cats, to stay in a Pharmacy! 

 Cats in HK are quite cool, they do not ask for petting or rubbing. They are happy sitting there alone.

And then it started pouring! So we hid in a Mac and I got myself a minion! It is always sold out in Singapore...oh ya, the Mac in HK does not offer free flow of chilli or ketchup, you have to beg for it and they will give you 1 or 2 packs with unhappy face.

Finally we reached temple street! And I saw a camouflage sitting quietly among the shoes..he's yours at HK$150..hehe...

This is the place with fortune tellers...eastern and western. Business not very good...

And then steamboat dinner again!! In fact we had steamboat every night since my dad arrived until our last day in HK, but we tried different shop every night. hehe....

 My dad's favourite again, minced fish meat.

 Assorted meat balls.

 Minced beef

 Goose intestine

 Pork intestine

OH this one I must mention, it's roosters' scrotum. When cooked, it pops when you bite on it, it's sort of powdery inside and has a texture of liver and quite tasteless. Sorry guys. But I really like the balls! I finished all the scrotum so that the roosters didn't die in vain..hehe..

Ok I shall update again with Day 9 and 10 soon! Phoebe's going to watch my favourite Phantom of the Opera tonight! Yay!
