The Fault in Our Stars Movie Review

Photo from Imbd

Well, this movie is quite a topic now all over the social medias. The novel was a top selling hit too.

I didn't know about this movie, till my sister came telling me that how touching this movie, and had made a lot of people cried in cinemas. She even came telling me that her friend brought with her a box of tissues, and it wasn't enough for her.

So yesterday, we decided to catch this movie together at 11pm, and my sister really brought along with her a big pack of tissues.

Honestly, i have no comments on this show. It is just a typical romance story. The tears that i had came from my yawning, and somehow in this movie, i had forced myself to be awake. My sister too. After the movie, she was ranting that it is not worth the watch, and she said that the only 1 piece of tissue she used was to dig her nose out of boredom.

Personally i think the reason that this movie didn't move me because their love story was too short to make me feel their deep love, so after they had went their separate ways, it didn't hit me and make me cry.

Probably i should read the novel, novel always turns out to be better than movies.

To watch or not to watch? I recommend to watch on line than in cinemas. :D

The French Table

How about a French Cuisine at an affordable rate?

The French Table is a newly open restaurant locate at West Coast Plaza. It has quite a good ambience, being located at the end of a row of eating shops. The items on the menu was fairly reasonable. I was catching a quick lunch over there and i think it is worth a post. I ordered their lunch set meal, which i think it is worth all the price.

The set menu consist of a drink, a soup and a main at only $12.90++.

You can see how thick my iced lemon tea is. The tea don't really taste like those syrup made kind of tea, it is full of lemon tea flavours.

Mushroom Soup

This is the best mushroom soup i ever had. The soup that has a very rich flavour of mushroom, and bread crumbs added on it. This soup tasted so authentic that you won't doubt if there is any mushroom in it. But this soup must be consumed when it is hot, otherwise it tasted a bit sick when it turns cold.

Fish and Chips

 I ordered fish and chips as my main. The fries were remained crispy, despite having it as the last portion on my plate, but it is still just french fries.
Sadly i didn't finish up my fish, eating only 1 slice of the fish, because it was a little too salty for me. Probably the marination of the fish was overly done with salt.

Chocolate Mousse- Dessert

You are able to add a $3++ to the main course for a dessert. The dessert of the day was chocolate mousse with vanilla ice cream. Desserts are my favourite! This dessert comprises of dark chocolate mousse, vanilla ice cream and some crumbs on top. Well, i would say this is good for the price. :D

I will still visit The French Table again for their food. Because the money i am paying is worth on what's going into my mouth!

Portico - 5th Year Anniversary

It was our 5th dating year together yesterday. Chosen a newly opened restaurant - Portico, located at Alexandra Road.

This restaurant location is a little bit off site from where usual crowds would be like Holland Village, Club Street, Tanjong Pagar etc. But it's location is quite convenient where MRT(Labrador MRT) is just less than 1km away.

Portico is serving fine dining food in a reasonable and affordable price, not those kind that the plates come with 1 prawn and it gonna cost you $100.

Setting of Portico 

The ambience was comfortable, you don't feel tense up like how you are in a fine dining restaurant, afraid of the noise coming up from the brushing of utensils. This place is a good place for friends to hand out too.

Foie Gras with Bread and Tomato Sauce

This was a complimentary dish from the kitchen. I had a bad experience with foie gras before, and it really took me some courage to try this appertiser. The ones that i had previously was so awful that i couldn't swallow, and hoping to spit out immediately (Do not wish to name that restaurant, quite famous in Singapore). This, was different, though i still don't enjoy much of the taste, but it doesn't have the foul taste that i had the other time. Going with the bread and tomato sauce was kind of interesting.

Fish and Chips with Mint Peas

Beef with Pear and Mashed Potatoes

The fish was my main and the beef was my boyf's main. It was good, but i really don't like the minty peas. Other than that, everything was really good. :D

Dessert

Before ending, we ordered a dessert to share as we were kind of full. This raspberry dessert was nice, the white shattered parts were actually meringues, and it goes so well with the raspberry sorbet. OMG, THIS IS GOOD. 2 THUMBS UP. The meringues were not too sweet, so the ice cream complements the meringues, not forgetting the white chocolate mousse there too.

Blueberry Cheesecake

This was a surprise. The chef had done this for us. Isn't that very sweet of the staffs over there?

This is definitely a place i would recommend to all, whether you are a local or tourist, visit this place, with amazing and friendly staffs, they will brighten your day and shine your nights.
