Cali at Ascott Raffles Place - 10 Year Anniversary with No-Inflation Menu

 Cali - Restaurant Front

I had the pleasure of being invited to attend a food tasting at Cali at Ascott Raffles Place in celebration of their 10 year anniversary.

Cali - Bar

Cali at Ascott Raffles Place has two levels. There is a well-stocked bar on the ground floor where you can get drinks and the upper level is the restaurant where you can seat down to enjoy your meal.

No-Inflation Menu

Cali has been wowing Singaporeans with their delicious Southwestern fare for the past 10 years and they have especially curated a No-Inflation Menu which features dishes from their very first menu with no increase in prices.

Cali - The Food

Cali - Wild Mushroom Soup

There was only one soup available, Wild Mushroom Soup [S$8.90] which was made by blending shimeiji, white and shiitake mushrooms. It's really a drizzle of truffle oil, I couldn't taste the truffle after the first mouthful. The accompanying garlic bread is delightfully soft and buttery which went remarkably well with the soup.

Cali - Santa fe Crab Cake

For starters, we ordered Santa fe Crab Cake [S$18] from the ala carte menu. I expected Southweatern spices to be robust in flavor but the crab cakes tasted pretty mellow. I can't really taste the sweetness of the crab meat, but the tartar sauce pairs wonderfully with the crispy crab cakes.

Cali - 12 Hours Slow Cooked Beef

The beef in 12 Hours Slow Cooked Beef [S$22.90] are reasonably tender with thick beef stew to add flavor. The mashed potato is buttery and salad is refreshing.

Cali - Glazed BBQ Baby Back Ribs

The massive 14-ounce Glazed BBQ Baby Back Ribs [S$29.50] is a sight to behold. The pork ribs are rubbed with a special blend of spice mix, slow cooked till tender and basted generously with the signature BBQ sauce which is slightly too sweet for my taste. The meat goes really well with the pineapple chutney sauce provided.

Cali - Molten Lava Torte

Molten Lava Torte [S$12] is one of Cali's signature desserts and a favorite among patrons. I wished it could have been served piping hot so that lava actually flows but the rich chocolate cake goes well with the velvety-smooth vanilla ice-cream and fresh berries.

NDP Menu

Cali celebrates Singapore’s 57th birthday with a 5-course set meal for 2 person at $57++ featuring dishes from 2021 and 2022 menu.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
