I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make bread or scone…so I ended up with something called “Brones”. Bread and scone! That’s what Mr.Butter named it…and I said “why can’t we call it scread?”
The moist texture came from the banana, but just enough flour to balance it.
And…this was the result. I actually quite like it!
To be honest…I merely just improvised. What I used was similar to a scone recipe:
A bit less than 1 cup of flour.
2 ripe bananas
1/4 cup of cranberries, the more the better! I only had 1/4 cup because I couldn’t stop eating them.
1 egg
Butter – no clue I just cut about 1 cm in width from a regular butter.
A bit of baking powder, less than a teaspoon.
TA DUM! Goodness!
Received Atame’s invitation to their grand opening to the media, I was quickly intrigued by their aphrodisiac concept and burlesque performance.
It was a busy evening, so it was very difficult for me to jot down information. The purpose of the evening was simply to give a glimpse of the overall nature of the restaurant. We had bites here and there and a peek of the performance.
Some dishes really had me going. Some just left me unresponsive.
The performance was difficult to enjoy as the crowd of the evening was not the most tamed. But, I could grasp the intention of the performance, and how fitting it would be to the whole concept with the right crowd.
My pictures aren’t the best to capture the restaurant sensual side. My lens really can’t handle almost non-existent light setting. But here are some to give a general idea.
I really liked my drink, which was mixed with yogurt. Tasted like bailey.
The oysters were a disappointment. The passion fruit and the lychee overshadowed the sweet delicate taste of the oysters. All I tasted was the passion fruit.
This duck and the quinoa salad had to be my favorite dish of the evening. The contrast between the two was perfect. The quinoa was especially tasty and fresh!
This filet mignon has to be the most tender filet mignon I had in a restaurant. The texture was just heavenly.
The brownie was a nice finishing touch. It was sweet yet spicy.
Atame is most suitable for a more mature crowd, 25 years old at least. I can see it a perfect venue for intimate private parties. If you are looking for great food tasting, this is not the place. If you are looking for more than decent food and a very sensual experience, this is the place.
For my birthday celebration, Mr.Butter brought me to Marche 27 , a much awaited destination in my wishlist.
Instead of going for the typical tasting menu,we opted for what we really wanted to try because greedy old me thought 50gr for 5 flavors wasn’t enough especially if I have to share it! Soon enough, I realized we ordered more than what our stomach can take!
My first choice was a 100gr fresca scallops. It was actually the least preferred tartare in our order. Not that it wasn’t good, it was good, but it did not stand out as much as the others. I need to note that the dill was rather strong and I could not taste the jalapeno at all. Maybe fresca was more meant for a meat that has a stronger flavor, but then I thought a hint of dill and jalapeno could bring something interesting in the scallops. Sadly, it wasn’t what I thought it would be.
My second choice was a 150gr indian tuna. This has to be the best one. The curry powder was marvelous! It was so unique and unexpected for a tartare. I really felt I was eating indian food in an Indian restaurant.
Mr.Butter first choice was a 100 gr french duck. It was typical way to make tartare. Very good and safe choice.
His second choice was a 150 gr spicy beef. This has to be my second favorite tartare of the evening. I loved how they amped out the spiciness with real chili!
On the sides, Mr.Butter had the normal fries while I had the matchsticks fries. Both equally good.
I had a wonderful diner at Marche 27. Everything was so fresh. I thought I would have enough tartare for 3 months…but the next day, I was craving for more Marche 27! It was that delicious! I would like to note that our order was a bit too much for both of us. It would have been better if we had 200 gr each in total, instead of 250 gr each.
Although I really like Les Givres, I have to say Kem CoBa overtook its place! I have to thank my good friend, Connie for talking about this place!
I originally planned to try Kem CoBa this summer…but I guess I sitll made it, on the last day of summer!! I regretted not going earlier! Waiting line was long but was worth every seconds!
I had the Masala Chai and Orange (something). Masala Chai is unforgettable. A must order!! The ice cream is incredibly smooth. Every scoop was heavenly… I haven’t tasted ice cream like this in a while that gives me this kind of sensation!
Mr.Butter got obviously, Salted Butter and Chocolate. Salted Butter was surprisingly plesant. Just a hint a saltiness. Not overwhelming with butter flavor at all. It is well mastered! The chocolate is crazy. I felt like I was eating a very rich dark chocolate that just immediately melts on my tongue.
The owners were the ones serving ice cream, and they were so busy! Yet that did not impact on the quality of the service. Efficient and very friendly!
If I hadn’t make it clear it, I LOVE Kem CoBa.
To unwind, sweet Mr. Butter took me to Cacao 70. We still had to settle if Cacao 70 makes good waffles. Last visit, we had their unique waffles in Cacao 70’s style, which are crunchier. We didn’t like it.
This time, without mistakes, we ordered the original waffles. The Black and White Waffle.
They are perfect! Everything I was hoping for! Crunchy enough in the exterior but soft in the interior! You might want put the waffles aside to prevent the ice cream softens the waffle’s texture! I would say these waffles are just as good as Breakfast Club’s!
Something to be expected, the chocolate can be overwhelming! Which dish in Cacao 70 isn’t?
