The Cheese Platter

With a selection of wine to choose from , of course the best snacks to go along with it, would be their cheese platter! Well for one, I'm a huge fan of cheese so... YES i will be BACK to have more of you together with the best wine in the house! MUST HAVE!  

The Crispy Pork Belly (MUST HAVE) 

The side salad that comes with the pork belly makes everything sweet salty and JUST BRILLIANT
one of my favorite dish!

The Rustic Fries ( MUST HAVE )

I'm usually not a fan of potato wedges, but this rusty fries just won me over! Just nicely crispy on the outside and soft on the inside... Dip in their spicy and pepper sauce -is a MAJOR thumbs up! I can't stop snacking over it, gimme another plate please! 

1885 Chicken Wings

For y'all Chicken Wings fan, this is fried to perfection with the meat all tender and juicy... mmm

Duck Confit

I would suggest this a main dish, Just nice for one! Tender duck meat, lying on a scoop of mash potatoes, which i can eat it on its own , its just so damn good, together with the duck meat and the side vegetables... 

The Lamb Shank

I'm usually not much of a lamb fan, but i can go on with this. it doesn't have that "lamby" taste to it, but together with their brilliant mash potato and gravy. its perfect! Slow braised in red wine, the Lamb Shank is extremely tender and succulent... Not bad... not bad...  

Thank you for inviting me over to your awesome bistro, & trying out your signature dishes! I would definitely go back and have more. Did i mention they have a live band playing in the evenings too. A great place to hang with friends or maybe a date night!

Having my iPhone, music & headphones are a necessity whenever I am on the go or at the gym. But I hate to fuss over the wire being magically tangled up or slapping me in the face everytime I go for a run. #dontjudeme.

It's got great sound quality, works with bluetooth & best of all, its wire tangle free! Free hands! *dance around, waving the phone all over the place...Woohooo! It's a must have, even if you don't do frequent workout. I'm surprise the sound quality was really good too.  Best of all, it's quite comforting to my ears...
