Dessert Frenzy! Saveur + Honeymoon Dessert

After having lunch brunch at Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House, Estelle suggested having dessert at Saveur. I heard so much about this affordable French restaurant, how tasty their food is, esp. the signature Saveur's Pasta and Duck Leg Confit. Their desserts also won the hearts of many. How can I not try right?!

And so, we went to the new outlet at Far East Plaza. They have another outlet at Purvis Street, which was their first.

They offer only 4 desserts, great for indecisive people like me (lol). Me being a chocolate lover, I naturally went for Chocolate and Hazelnut [chocolate mousse with crushed hazelnuts, broken raspberries, roasted rice puffs, chocolate tuile & praline] @ $7.90.

Ooo... the dessert presentation was already a delightful sight. It sure tasted as good as it looked! A sinful indulgence indeed. I was literally in chocolate heaven!

It had just the right sweetness. And, the raspberries complement the taste of the fudgy chocolate really well. It was sooo good, I nearly wanna lick the plate clean (lololol) :X 

MAJOR LOVE!! ♥ 

Estelle had Textures of Citrus [blood orange jelly with orange granite, freeze-dried pineapple, feuilletine, citrus segments & lime zest] @ $6.90. Hers was a citrusy explosion. I tasted a mouthful. Hmm... the sour taste was acceptable, not too sour. I much prefer mine :d~

Later in the evening, we had dessert AGAIN after some shopping. Hmm... I think we ate ALOT that day O_O!! 

We headed to Honeymoon Dessert at 313 Somerset for traditional dessert. I had Sweet Ball & Sweet Potato Soup (Hot) @ $3+ (I think)... correct me if I'm wrong. Woohooo~! Love the spicy taste of ginger soup that warms up my tummy :P~

Anything with sweet potato is... YUMMY! Not to mention, my all-time favorite tang yuan (rice balls)!

The tang yuan here taste different from the usual ones. They have this nice QQ texture, perfectly chewy and springy. Not exaggerating one bit! And, the peanut filling is savory instead of sweet!

A MUST TRY!

Exclusive Rewards & Privileges for CLUB313 Members

CLUB313 is a loyalty programme by 313@somerset, which promises to truly engage and deliver rewarding experiences for its top shoppers.
 
Last Tue, I was invited to a private media preview to find out how it feels like to be a CLUB313 member. All of these were unveiled through a collage of beautifully designed booths, showcasing bespoke fashion, beauty and food essentials. 

First up, there was an exclusive members only “Horoscope Night” in partnership with ELLE magazine. 20 pre-selected CLUB313 members and their friends were treated to a unique Chinese zodiac video screening plus a free tarot/gemstone reading session. 


Next, we proceeded to the wine appreciation session by the Straits Wine Company. 

 
The sushi-making demonstration by 313’s very own umisushi chef was pretty interesting. 


These sushis were too cute to be eaten! California maki tasted the best, though it was not as cute. Don't judge a sushi by its appearance :D


There were 2 beauty booths:

• Etude House - eye makeup tips & makeover
• Summer Nail Salon - nail art tutorials (not pictured)

Last but not least, we got to preview the limited-edition sneakers collection from L.E. Way.

Me & Herine

Media Event: 313@somerset Christmas Light Show

Remember I mentioned about the Christmas Light Show event brought to you by 313@somerset? 

At the media event, I got to experience the preview of the 1st ever Christmas tree light show where a traditional Christmas tree was transformed into a canvas, presenting a brilliant illustration of colors via the innovative use of light projections.

There was also musical performance (Christmas carols) by an acapella group and another band (not pictured). 

Here's a colorful caricature of me. Nice? :D

***image credits to 313@somerset FB Page***

I totally missed out on this! There was this light painting booth where Charlie Lim (Singapore's renowned local photographer) introduce his very own technique of light art into designing Christmas cards for 313 shoppers.

Yummy cocktails and canapes were served. 

Beer, all mine (nah~ just kidding!)

To conclude the evening, a sumptuous dinner was served at Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant. 

Me, happily drinking :P

Fresh greens were served. Being a meat lover, I was looking forward to the mains :x Despite that, I enjoyed the salad, especially the mashed potato hidden within.

The thin crust meat-laden pizza tasted absolutely divine albeit a lil' oily. It was kinda spicy for some, but it was okay for my tastebuds :d~ *YUMMY*

I was sharing my Brotzeit dining experience with the other bloggers, telling them how tasty (and expensive) the sausages and pork knuckles are. The next moment, the huge sausage platter came...

Then, the crispy pork knuckles arrived thereafter.

Too happy for words! xD Ahh... I felt so guilty after eating so much oily stuff... not (lol) :x

We were expecting something chocolatey for dessert... *wish not granted* >.<~~

Hmm... I had another beer, which tasted lemony. Something refreshing, me like! 

Okay, I shall end here for now. Thank you Amanda (Havas Worldwide Siren) for the invite! And, thank you for reading!
