49 Seats - 3rd outlet opened at Bugis Plus!


Hi Hungry Beings!

Have you all heard about 49 seats new outlet? It is located at Bugis Plus #07-04,
the rooftop garden. 

I am just curious, why 49 seats is so popular and everyone is talking about it.
I never tried it before and two weeks back I actually wanted to make reservations however,
both outlets at Kreta Ayer Road and Orchard Central were fully booked. 

Hence, yesterday I made a trip down to the new outlet at Bugis Plus to find out what's so
good about 49 Seats.

49 Seats Main Entrance

Once I arrived at the rooftop garden at Level 7, I saw a short queue just outside and it was only 11:20 am! Glad that I made reservation and did not expect there will be queues so early. Waited for around 5-10 minutes before the restaurant officially opened.

The exterior of 49 Seats is lovely as it looks like a small cottage
with a touch of modern usage. 





The staff is friendly, allocated us to the seats, told us table number and
make orders at the cashier counter just at the right side of the entrance.

The ambience of this place is great and feels comfortable although there is no air-con and fan. It is more like an open air concept yet not feeling warm, however, there are air coolers located at the front of the entrance.
The walls are pasted all over with the food menus, food quotes were written with white chalk on black cupboards look kind of interesting.

So, this is their food menu :



Tom Yum Seafood ($14.90)

Calling out to all the Tom Yum Lovers, if you love Tom Yum, it's a must to try 49 Seats Signature Tom Yum Seafood Pasta!!!

My mum is Thai and she knows how to cook Tom Yum soup and other Thai delicacies.
I love Thai Food and totally a Tom Yum Lover!
Thus, I find that this pasta is incredibly awesome and having an authentic taste!
This dish can be distincted in both hot and sour with aromatic spices in it. And also,
it is not too creamy nor dry, it's just nice and flavorful. 
You can add $4.90 to any Pasta for set of additional 1 Soup of the Day and
1 soft drink.

Highly recommended!

Creamy Smoked Duck ($14.90)

Fans of cream-based and smoked duck? Yes?
You can have the best of both worlds!
A generous portion of smoked duck with white creamy sauce definitely satisfy your
taste buds. 
It is not overly creamy or tasted bland. 
However, I personally feel that if they could add slightly more sauce to avoid the
cooked pasta soaking up the sauce if you do not consume it fast or when it turns cold.


Cheese Fries ($7.90)

Bad days are best forgotten over french fries, agree?
A basket full of shoestring fries, topped with cheese, mayonnaise and garnished with chives just simply finger licking good.
The cheese and mayonnaise was served chilled and together with the
fresh-tasting fries = HEAVENLY


Sorry but it is better than KFC Cheese Fries, as the cheese is not too cheesy but just right.
Worth trying!
~
Not only they served pastas, but also main courses like their signature Fish and Chips
with Al Scampi (shrimp or prawn in Italian word) or Tom Yum Sauce and also classic sandwiches.

Moreover, they also have desserts like Banana Split and Waffles with Ice Cream ( Waffles with ice cream is currently not available at Bugis Plus Outlet).

Oh My Bacon! - Singapore's first bacon-inspired cafe at Dunlop Street

Hi Hungry Beings!

I am sure that you guys are all awaiting for my first blog post. So, this is it !

Featuring Oh My Bacon Cafe !

I heard that there is a Bacon-inspired cafe in town, I was like, WOW! I must definitely make a trip down to OMB because I am a Bacon Lover, yes Bacon is my love!

Once I entered into the cafe, I am greeted with a warm smile from the service crew. She was very friendly and nice because she asked whether if it is my first time here and  introduced some popular dishes that I would want to give it a try.

OMB's MENU

So, the first dish I ordered was OMB's signature, 

Bacon Bomb!
Bacon Bomb ($28)


To all Bacon Lovers out there, you guys should really try this mouth-watering, juicy bacon bomb!
Not very salty, meaty, yes. And this satisfy anyone's crave!
Although it is a little costly, but is worth-trying!



A delectable mix of minced pork and beef, wrapped around with streaky bacons and filled with cheese, served with mashed potatoes, fresh rocket leaves and cherry tomatoes. It simply just melts in your mouth.
Good for 2 to share. (But if your stomach is a bottomless pit, you can have it all by yourself! XD)



Bacon Brownie with Bacon Ice Cream ($9)

Who says Bacon cannot be an ice cream flavor? 
I think this is one of the most innovative idea to come up with, creating this exotic ice cream flavor which you can indulge. 
Both the brownie and ice cream were tossed and mixed with little pieces of bacon.
Sweet Caramel taste, salty and smoky makes the best combination. Such a guilty pleasure.
Do consider this sinful dessert after your sumptuous meal.



Bacon Jam with 2 slices of Baguette ($2)
Strawberry jams, blueberry jams are too mainstream. 
Why not try OMB's homemade Bacon Jam!

It is quite fascinating that Bacon can be a spread to your bread. It tasted slightly salty and this jam actually infused with a small amount of whisky. 
Slices of baguette would be better if it is served crusty and thicker in size. 

There is also this thing in their menu called : "Band Jam Session"
It served 3 to 4 person that comes with a bowl of Bacon Jam and toasted Baguettes.


Jekyll & Hyde, 1pc ($2.50)
Last but not least, also one of their signatures, Jekyll and Hyde. 
Streaky bacon strips coated with white and dark chocolate which served chilled.
A uniquely great combination of sweet and salty which makes you feel imperfectly perfect. 
However, it is a little bit hard to bite. But still tasted good. I personally prefer the white chocolate one. 




This cafe is not just an ordinary cafe that serves comforting food and be passionate about bacon, they also carry their own bacon-inspired merchandises such as aprons, cushion covers and tote bags which is designed and made in Singapore!


OMB Merchandise
They do sell organic teas too, in packs to takeaway as well. It comes in flavors like Earl Grey, Chamomile, Berries and more! 



This is how the interior of the Cafe looks like ! 







I love the combination of colours used. Bold Bright Pink, Teal and the Mustard Yellow. It has drawn my attention once I stepped into this Cafe. 

And not forgetting the white wall with black wordings (inspirational sayings and quotes) which makes OMB's Signature Spot to take a nice selfie or group shot. There are some props placed beside the long bench which you can grab it and post a picture too!

Cozy corners, great ambience, good service and awesome food made my day!



Anyway, you can stand a chance to win a $50 Food Voucher just by taking a picture of your food and share it on OMB Instagram, @ombsg and hashtag with :
#weareomb #7dunlopstreet .

Is that simple!


This place is truly for passionate people who loves bacon.
Do hop by someday to get your bacon-li-cious experience!
