T.T. Blues Cafe & Restaurant

From now on, there will possibly be more entries than before because not only I have Saturday lunch dates, but I also have Thrusday girls' night out. So to start off on our Thursday girls' night out, we're moving to T.T. Blues Cafe & Restaurant

This be the signboard and entrance of the restaurant. It's situated in Gadong area, same row with the curry fish head restaurant and Sawadee House. Technically I have passed by this place many times, but I never actually went in to give it a try or a shot at it, so this is actually a pretty good chance to go for it

This be the interior of the restaurant. Looks pretty empty actually, despite the ambiance and everything, which is quite impressive. Apparently it's been here for a while now, but how it was able to still remain an ongoing business is beyond me



Trigger-happy moments


We both ordered Coke (or was it Root Beer?), and the lighting in the restaurant was not so good, so I decided to give flash a shot, but ended up turning my drink so damn sparkly in effect that it looked like something out of a Twilight movie! XDDDD



I was feeling a little Asian that day, so I ordered their black pepper chicken with fried rice. Tastes nice and spicy with a kick, and I especially like the fried rice. Cook with egg to a nice taste and texture, and the sauce of the black pepper was pretty flavourful


My friend ordered butter milk chicken with rice. Looks pretty good, though I don't remember trying it


A bit of a side dish of spring rolls, just cause I felt like eating it. Very nice and crunchy, but it was vegan inside, with a hint of potato and carrots and cabbages in it

What's dinner without dessert, eh? And since we went Asian, it's fitting that we ordered Asian desserts


My friend ordered ABC, which had a nice tint of pink among the translucent ice. I think I remembered her saying to hold off certain condiments within the ABC though, but ah well, it's her dessert


I ordered cendol, since it's been a while since I've eaten cendol, though usually most of the time when you say cendol, it's usually served through a cup as a drink, but to have it served like ABC dessert style, it's pretty interesting. Nice and chilly cold and sweet, just the way I like it

This restaurant is actually worth going into, sadly so very little people actually going there to eat even though it is placed at the heart where everyone goes to The Mall and whatnot. And the food there is pretty good with a reasonable price too. So do show some support and stop by at this shop if you're feeling the munchies (and not just stop there for the sake of getting free internet, like our neighbour did)

Rejoice Chicken Rice Reprise

Did another reprisal for Rejoice just for kicks since we're going to eat something different than just chicken rice this time

My other part-timer friend ordered Chinese tea, standard drinks for all Chinese restaurant dining

I ordered barley drink again. Can't seem to get enough of it whenever I'm eating in Chinese restaurants. They're nice and warm, though needs more sugar

My best friend ordered Kasturi ping as usual. No idea what his obsession with Kasturi ping XD


My best friend ordered steamed chicken rice, standard procedure for ordering food in a restaurant specializing in chicken rice, and it seems like apparently I was right, it turns out to be much oilier than it was claimed to be compared to Thien Thien as you have already known from my entry previously about Rejoice


My part-timer friend ordered fish curry with rice. Looks rather tasty, and the curry, which I snuck a sip, was pretty spicy and flavourful. Maybe one of these days, I'll order this too


I ordered pan mian, which is basically flat noodle with soup, one of the classic favourites of Chinese dining. While the soup is flavourful and the noodles nice and Q and all that, the only beef I have about this is that it doesn't have the most crucial of ingredients in the pan main dish: pork liver, which is my favourite

That's all for the reprisal of Rejoice Chicken Rice. Overall it was another satisfying meal gone by, though still not as promising as Thien Thien, but still a good place to go anyway if you can't find a seat in Thien Thien

Countrypatch Cafe

February has come with some interesting new entries, which for starters, we shall speak of Countrypatch Cafe, which (please don't laugh) was the first time I actually went into even though I've passed by it for like a gajillion times

This be the signboard of the restaurant. It's situated in Kiulap area, same row with Cafe Twelv, Restoran Aminah Arif and Lee Loi Fatt Restaurant. Yes, I realize that most of the food stuff is situated in either Gadong or Kiulap, but that's how it is -_-

Trigger-happy on the Today's Special billboard

Le entrance of the restaurant




This be the interior of the restaurant. It has a really cottage-ish look to it, like you're entering into one of those high-classed posh coffee house in England or some sort, and has the familiar feeling of being in De' Old Cottage, but not enough to rival it






Trigger-happy moments



Again, like in De' Old Cottage, I couldn't resist taking pictures of the bathroom because it's just as furbished as that, though still not as good as the former



More trigger-happy moments

Le menu, which is pretty small and quaint-looking


Only I ordered the drink, while my part-timer only drank water, so I decided to order what I usually order in restaurants such as this: Cafe latte. Again, I had to deal with putting quite a bit of sugar to taste because it's just absolutely bitter~ XP




When in doubt, always order the in-house or something familiar to see how they cook it, so of course I ordered fish and chips. It tastes pretty good, more or less, in which at least the fish is one of those fresh ones and not the ones that had been taken from the freezer and defrosted or something



My part-timer friend ordered their chicken rice or something. Looks nice, but I didn't get to try it, so can't comment much about that

There you have it, my two-cents on Countrypatch Cafe. Overall, it's nice, quaint, cottage-ish feel with pretty good food. Reprisal maybe possible.
