JPOT AT HARBOURFRONT SINGAPORE

WHERE: 1 Harbourfront Walk VivoCity

WEBSITE: http://www.jpot.com.sg/vivocity.html

JPOT is similar to mini pot where you have your own soup broth catered to your own personalised taste. JPOT is a place where you can self order by the computer screens, unlimited drinks and sauces are also available. 

I decided to post photos from JPOT on my previous trip to Singapore, purely because I am having hot pot tonight at a friends house for NYE. 

Hope everyone has a fantastic NY. Bring on 2016!!! 


















Much love J and C 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

3 AMIGOES EQ MARKETS, MOORE PARK

Hi guys!

Hope you've all had a very good Christmas with family and friends. I would like to dedicate this post for my uncle and aunty's coffee, named 3 Amigoes at the EQ Village Markets every Wednesday and Saturday.

3 Amigos remains very close to my heart.  3 Amigoes are coffee beans which are selectively sourced in East Timor and freshly grounded and blended in Sydney. 

I started helping my uncle as an ameteur with minimal experience in coffee making. I was closely trained and monitored strictly by continuously practicing and perfecting a cup of coffee. I grew to only trust myself to create a good cuppa, from the positive feedback received by customers and happy smiles on their faces. I give all thanks and praise to both my uncle and aunt for giving me this opportunity in teaching me and shaping me to be a barista just like themselves.  

 3 Amigoes have come along way, for over 13-14 years strong. Starting from a coffee cart to a stall that not only makes coffee but sells its own beans, which are roasted and grinded in Sydney. The beans which we use are the "Dark Roast" beans, which are suitable for the morning time and the "Medium Roast" preferably for the evening. The beans are rich in flavour but does not leave a bitter taste. It has a good balance of a nutty flavour. If you are not much of a coffee drinker, the decaf is also very nice. Beans can be blended at the stall according to the type of coffee machine at home. Large bag= $38.00 at 1kg and a 0.50g bag at = $12.00 

A regular coffee is priced at = $4.00 and a large at $5.00  

I will now leave you with some photos taken with some celebrities and public figures that have visited 3 Amigos and have gladly shared a coffee with us. Come pay us a visit at the markets and we will guarantee you that you will have a coffee like no other. 

Moore Park markets will re-open on WEDNESDAY January 13th 2016.

ALFREDO

WHERE: 16 Bulletin Place Sydney CBD NSW.

My Uncle and aunty decided to take me out for graduation dinner along with Justin to dine at Alfredos. Alfredos situated near Marriott hotel at circular quay, lies a warm and cosy restaurant with  live piano playing in the background. When asked the big boss what his name was, he answered in great gratitude "my name is everywhere!."


The sizing is to the smaller size, so we all ordered large servings and two servings of warm bread each which comes with olive oil as the boss said margarine is old school. 

Justin's dish was interestingly wrapped around eggplant with pesto spaghetti, which made a tasty combination. My pasta lacked in seasoning but they were really generous with the seafood (scallop.) 

The manager was nice enough to provide us with an extra profiterole as it normally comes with three, instead of four. The atmosphere of this restaurant is fantastic for intimate first dates and family dinners.
