Had a great dinner yesterday at Double Bay Restaurant & Bar (hungrygowhere link). It’s Australian style.
It’s located outside Raffles City Shopping Centre, facing Raffles Hotel, nearest Raffles City exit is near Timberland.
It’s been a long time I had an above average western food. I don’t use perfect too often.. 
We had Organic Mushroom Soup ($9.90) as our starter. It’s slightly too salty, but I like the egg inside. Yes, egg in mushroom soup! The egg was something between hard-boiled and soft-boiled. This is the first time I tried this combination! But it taste great.
Then, we had 2 main courses. One of them was Fish & Chips, we ordered Australian Barramundi with Beer batter ($19.90, It’s their best seller according to the waiter). I love it. You can taste the fish (how often do you really enjoy the fish in fish & chips? They are always deep fried but tasteless), and it’s yummy! The sauces (vinegar, mayo and tomato) complement the food. And the thick-cut fries are something we both preferred. One down side, SM find it a bit oily.
The other dish was Capellini Vongole ($17.90). I like it because their vongole is big (wonder where was it from..), Capellini (thinner spaghetti) was tasteful. Nicely done!
Hey pals, let’s go there for the next meet up!
Update: [2009-Feb-11] Just came back from dinner. The standard seems to drop a lot.
Had a great weekend + bdae.
It all started with Kenneth‘s invitation for teh. It’s like a tradition. We go lim teh whenever we’re meeting each other in JB.
But not Ayub anymore. Last saturday, we went “時下年輕人去的地方” – é€?é?™é–£. But ended up, we noticed the “IN” place is downstair (Le Lounge or some name like that), not this place known by Ling Hai as “很多è€?人家的地方”. Anyway, I enjoyed the evening very much. Nice little gathering with Yiqi, James, Ting, Kenneth, Ying Xiang, Yue Zhen.
Had a good dinner with my family on friday. It’s a celebration for both DM (my bro) and my birthday. Our bdae is just 2 days away!
Then, on my bdae eve, my dear bring me to “my humble house” by Tung Lok.
It’s deco is like Hogwarts in China!
The restaurant is great, but expensive. We ordered 2 set dinner and 375ml Duval-Leroy Rose, that cost us 300+! But, to their defence, their waitresses are beautiful (very!), service is good (to name a few: walk me to the toilet, fold the napkin when I am away and very responsive) and the food is special and nice (I like the foie gras, scallop, lamb and toufu).
And we went Batam for a day trip on the actual day of my bdae. Enjoyed the message, and the donuts! (Anyone going to Batam soon? Me feel like to order some already!)
That’s about all for my bdae. Ops… did I say thanks for all of you (zixin, chiyu, jiaxian, huaying, ting, JJ, Yiqi, Pak Chong, LeQuor, Kenneth, SioYean, Templar & Sotong) who wish me happy bdae? 
I enjoyed it. Thanks.
Update: 300+ for the whole dinner, pardon my English..
