Hippopotamus Restaurant and Grill

6 Raffles Boulevard
#01-204/205 Marina Square



This place is really easy to get to, its walkable from Cityhall MRT! and it isin't that crowded, although you should make a reservation if you want a nice booth table. Alot of working adults come here fro dinner from around the area.

The starters were potato chips and bread! the bread is REALLY hard. don't throw it at anyone. lol.


But the steak is soft, juicy and succulent. Pretty tasty meat! this is the ribeye, with potato gratin, baked potato and fries! Theres a choice of three sides! the fries are nice to munch on! and the potato gratin is topped with cheese. 


I had the ratatouille which is a baked dish of tomato and other garden veggies. very flavorful =) 
and the T-bone, medium rare, very nice cut, although there were some veins i had to cut away!


Baked potato! my fav! yums!


Ratatouille



For sauces, they had pepper sauce, which tastes a little like ham, a Roquefort blue cheese sauce that I think is too pungent. Bearnaise sauce that's just right for the steak. pick this one! and some other sauces like shallots. you get to pick one, and so far, the Bearnaise is the best, though they let you try two sauces if you ask nicely =)

The ambience is pretty nice, kind of quiet =) so it's good for dates! =D

Prive cafe

GF Marina at Keppel Bay















Went to Prive at Keppel Bay for some dessert <3 
great ambiance and very spacious, nice to be there to wind down after a long week!

Oreo covered tiramisu and chocoloate icecream mudpie!
drizzled in chocolate and vanilla sauce
I didn't really like the coffee taste of the icecream, but it went well with the vanilla! =)


Sticky date pudding and macadamia icecream, with pecans.
The sticky date pudding is more cakey than puddingy, but it's nice too, very thick and sweet!
