Sweet potato eggettes

I don't really eat eggettes so I don't know the current price for eggettes.
Anyway got the sweet potato eggette from here and was told it was expensive by a foodie.
It had that typical eggy eggette taste that you find in Chinese egg rolls which I don't like hence not my cup of tea.
This is why I only get eggettes from a certain shop these days.
It takes a while because the orders are done in batches according to flavour and not order number.

[Review 5163] To oyster fans @ LIS Cafe

Went here because my friend loves oysters and it does not cost over $400 per person.
It is cheaper on Mondays to Thursdays at $329 per person and $359 per person on weekends and public holidays.

As expected the oyster and seafood bar was a popular pick for people dining there.
Different types of oysters that they have:

As well as oysters, they had other dishes.
For drinks, they have a good variety of teas that would easily please expats and tourists.
I was impressed with the dessert because they had my favourite cherry crumble and this caramel, peanut butter and chocolate bande which tasted like delicious caramel slices in the UK.
One of our mates arrived late when the buffet session was about to end so he ordered the a la carte Tomahawk steak which comes with green tea salt and gravy.

I love French Window because of the lovely views and having afternoon tea here is just the perfect thing to do on the weekend.

They are now serving Pandora's Box from Fri-Sun and on Public holidays from 3:30 - 5:30.

The afternoon tea is served in a chic black box with a bottom drawer of savory treats.

My friend had a bottle of Fuji Takasago sparkling plum sake which costs $180 per bottle.
I have to admit that it tasted really good because there is no alcoholic taste to it.

As for me, I love teas so I settled for tea.

Citrus macaron, nutty chocolate puff and berry kiss macaron


Rose angel cake:
This was filled with a delicious light rose infused cream.

Vanilla cream roll:

Green tea mandarin orange shot:
The green tea shot was different because it had an interesting texture, there were finely grounded tea leaves in it.

At the end, they serve dessert which has heavenly light Jasmine Espuma with Rich Madagascar ice cream, Valrhona meringue and crispy almond crumbs.

We also got extra scones for $68 complete with clotted cream, blueberry jam and strawberry jam.
