Birthday Bliss: Our Korean Lunch at Gochu!

Gochu Korean Dining at Orchid Country Club Twenty-seven may be a date on the calendar, but April 27th was all about me! To celebrate me this year, I headed for a short holiday to South Korea with my husband, and we ain't over with Korea even when the holiday is over. We headed to Gochu Korean Dining at Orchid Country Club for my birthday lunch.  The dining area with a golf range view He initially suggested Japanese food at Himawari, but you know how it is when a new restaurant opens in a familiar spot, curiosity wins every time. Gochu Korean Dining now occupies the space, sporting a unique, cave-like interior that I was dying to check out in person.  Luckily, it was a Monday and the lunch crowd wasn't too overwhelming. Since it was just the two of us, we managed to snag seats right at the counter. Water arrived almost immediately while we seated and browsing through the menu. In true fashion, I hadn't done any "homework" before visiting; I love going into a new ...

Food Review | Teddy & Me (Mr Bean Cafe) - [CLOSED]

How many of us here watch Mr Bean's show since young and never get sick of it? I never because it has never failed to bring laughter in the house these 33 years and his show is sort of a bonding with my family too because we watch and laugh together.

TGIF everyone! With my girlfriend at Teddy & Me cafe for a chill out session from her hectic work schedule. 

ENVIRONMENT/AMBIENCE 




British theme, along with Mr Bean's brown teddy as part of their cafe decorations. Their menu is chained with a mini Teddy. So cute. And so is their cushions on the red sofa seat. It makes me miss watching Mr Bean's show and luckily they have LCD in the cafe playing his show. Also at their seats, they installed a iPad on the side where you can watch the show conveniently and also look at their menu.

FOOD

Yam & Red Bean Mille Crepe

3-in-1 Mille Crepe


Their Mille Crepes above are mediocre and if compared with those at Lady M, I would prefer the latter. On the good note, they are not too sweet, although my friend finds my 3-in-1 mille crepe sweeter than hers. Yes... indeed the above two are comparable. However, the crepes has this harden texture which I don't really like. Correct me if this should be the way, or not.

Mango Sorbet
This pricey sorbet (1 scoop) was decent and have expected no WOW factor. Sweet and icy as it supposed to be.

Waffles with Ocean Coconut Ice Cream
The ice cream was superb coconut-ish and I don't really like anything that is coconut (except laksa which you need coconut milk for the soup/gravy). The waffles are quite norm (like those I had at Prima Deli).

Ice Blended Mocha Berry
I don't know why I never resist whipped cream on my Ice Blended like I always do at Starbucks. This Mocha Berry taste more like Black Forest from Coffee Bean except that it is sweeter than the latter and also no cherry in it.

Overall, I probably think it can be a picture perfect after dinner place for some mediocre desserts. Definitely Instagram worthy pics. They also served pies, wraps, bolognese, lasagne and so on. You may wanna try but don't bring up your expectation for nice food.

They are at: #02-207A, Marina Square (in front of Customer Service Counter)
Nearest MRT: City Hall / Promenade
