We had paid a visit to Suntec City for shopping on the weekend night! We stopped for dinner to rest ourselves at Maccha House which is located at the ground floor of the shopping mall. To be frank, there are many restaurants to choose for at the ground floor, you can find yourself in the food heaven with outlets such as italian, thai, chinese, western, korean and etcetera. We were in dilemma choosing for place to dine. Especially at weekend, restaurants in Singapore are always crowded and one needs to queue outside in order waiting to be seated, it is not a bizarre view. We roamed around and finally my eyes were captivated by this green tasty menu which is matcha! Yeah. my love to match is just growing stronger and stronger, and I just couldn't explain why. Only the matcha reason is solid enough to make me decided for dinner at the Japanese restaurant - Maccha House! 😍

Let's settle ourselves down and look at the menu. You can see there are few promotions available on the restaurant. Even myself stucked in dilemma again when placing the food order. The food menu is not truly extensive, mostly you can find bento set and hotpot set. However, the one puts me in dilemma is the extensive range of beverages and desserts to choose from, and of course they are all matcha! Matcha lover, just drop by here and treat your taste bud!

Set meals with an attractive 20% off on any drink of the menu!
Must complete your meal with  any nice drink or dessert!

Arghh... the drink's menu! 💘

The PAIR set meal for consideration!

My personal favorite on matcha drink is the type that is not very sweet as the sweetness would cover the bitterness of the matcha. As much as I love to eat sweet desserts and chocolates, when it comes to matcha, I just adore the bitterness of it.. 😏 Haha.. Weirdo? Or speaking nicely, is a person who truly knows how to enjoy the true-self of matcha, just like the original taste over the artificial one thou 😋. Hence, I have asked the waiter which one is the recommended drink on the menu, and for sure he pointed me the traditional maccha menu, it is actually a drink which you can make your own matcha drink by mixing the matcha powder and hot water yourself, just like the japan style tea culture I guess? I nodded my head to give the menu a try.. And, guess what, after a few minutes I have changed my mind to another drink on the menu which is maccha latte float with shiratoma, it was my initial pick but I was carried away by the waiter. However, I just couldn't take my eyes away from this menu which has matcha drink, together with matcha ice cream on top and also the bouncy balls as topping. Duhh... girls... Always indecisive.. 😂 Or just like to follow the mood.. 😜

So after the long story just now, that's the drink that arrived!
Left: Maccha chocolate latte. Right: Maccha latte float with shiratoma.
They are just too good.. My latte addiction fixed on that night 😃

Sukiyaki hotpot set

Maccha house bento - everything with matcha!!
Hmm, why not on sushi as well.. 😝

Zoom into maccha house bento, we can see the side dishes here!
Nice little pieces of cakes as well. 

Oh ya not to forget to mention on this, the noodles served in the menu
are actually made from matcha. Yummy! 💜

Personally, I prefer the noodles to be the udon type and not the ramen type. I feel that the "fat" udon noodles has more bouncy feeling on your taste bud and the green tea smell could be stronger in the sense? In Singapore, ramen is more sought after than udon, there are actually many ramen shops booming around, but as much as I love matcha, I just love udon as well! Set aside the noodles portion, the taste is actually not bad and is a place to get decent japanese food. After the food tasting, slowly enjoy the drink and just sit down, relax, surf the internet or just selfies like what we do. 😄Of course, we choose the seatings facing the outside view as well, you still remember the colorful water fountain which I mentioned in the FAQ section earlier right.

Night view, relax while you can..

The price is also considerably cheap as you can see from the menu above. My choice on maccha house bento set is priced at $9.99, and you able to get yourself  main course, side dish, sushi, dessert! My bf choice on sukiyaki hotpot set is priced at $13.99, and you able to savour the hotpot with tons of meats inside, noodle soup, and sushi! However, drinks are slightly on the expensive side, but you complete them with the set meal which means you are entitled to get 20% off drinks as well!

5. What is the recommended time to dine in this restaurant?

This is because the cafe has a big window which directly facing the view outside which you able to see buildings etc. Ignore this if you don't care about the view (because got nothing much to see?) or you just worry the scorching hot sun might penetrate through the window and harm your skin? 😂

On our recent visit to Orchard road Singapore, we had a chance to visit this cute theme cafe in Singapore, it is called Charlie Brown cafe! If you are a fans of theme restaurant, or a fans of snoopy, or just simply want to dine with your family, kids and friends, just drop by here to enjoy your lunch or dinner inside the snoopy ambiance cafe. The cafe is Level 4 of Orchard Cineleisure, exactly the same level with cinema. If you are taking the lift, turn left to go to Charlie Brown cafe and turn right to go cinema after your fulfilling meals! 

Able to see views outside if you choose to dine at day time here

Charlie Brown characters!

Charlie Brown cafe is located at the corner of the level and it has a big window facing the Orchard road. When we went to have lunch here, we able to choose seating which facing the window and can enjoy the view while dining here. The cafe also has soft musics playing behind and thus you may end up spend few hours here. They also have a screen monitor showing cartoon of the snoopy playing together with the Charlie Brown characters! 😍

They have this delicious and affordable set lunch during lunch hours. Good news for those who work in vicinity. They come with varieties of main course to choose from, and give you free ice lemon tea as beverage, what's more they have chocolate lava cake! This set lunch only comes at a price tag of $8.90 onwards only. Please take note that this set lunch is not applicable on weekends, public holidays and eve of public holidays. 

Just like mentioned in the above FAQ, we have purchased online Fave voucher to enjoy the set meal. We have 4 choices of main course to choose from. For me, I chose mushroom cream pasta and le bf chose turkey ham carbonara pasta. The mushroom cream pasta is quite delicious as the cream is thick and filled with mushroom shredded pieces. It has the natural mushroom smell and guess they are using olive oil for this pasta, which definitely spice up the pasta. For turkey ham carbonara pasta, it comes with an egg on top of your pasta and many slices of turkey ham. It is worth the value of money compared to mushroom cream pasta as it is more fulfilling. Both pastas also come together with the cheese toppings. Last but not least, don't forget the chocolate lava cake. Slight disappointment when we can't see any snoopy face on the cake. This is because when we flipped the menu, the illustration of chocolate lava cake has the snoopy face on top! That's what we hope from Charlie Brown cafe. This might be because we were using the online vouchers? Not sure about this though. However, must admit the chocolate lava cake is delicious and cover back the disappointment. For just $8.90, it gives you complimentary drink and dessert, is truly a steal!

Before heading to window shopping at Orchard road, we took some photos with this cute little cafe. Just right at the entrance, they have this big snoopy for you to take photo with! See Joe Cool snoopy below 💗. So for those that plan to bring kids to dine here, think no more! Kids will love it so much!

I have tried Charlie Brown cafe in Penang, Malaysia before. I personally favor the environment over there as they are tons of photo taking opportunities and they have souvenir shops for you to purchase snoopy related goodies! The decoration and ambiance are cuter in Penang as well. However, for the food, the taste is so so only. The sad news about Charlie Brown cafe in Penang is they already closed their business few years back. 😢 Need to explore more cafes already!

Gelare @ Compass One Sengkang Singapore

TGIF! Let's treat ourselves a good meal to end the hectic working week. We saw a random Mix and Match Christmas promotion from Gelare shop in Compass One shopping mall, and figured out why not! The banner mentioned that it costs you only $12.90 for a set meal which consists of pasta, one side dish to choose from and one hot/cold beverage. The side dish options are quite tempting as they have fried onion rings, curly fries, half classic waffle, popcorn chicken, and mushroom soup. As for the beverage, they have iced lemon tea, iced coffee (i.e. latte, cappucino, etcetera) and hot tea (i.e. peach and passionfruit, strawberry and mango, etcetera). Let the banner does the talking here. With a 2 course dinner plus a drink, it is certainly worth to spend for! Is mentioned over there that it saves us more than 40% too as the meal is up to $24 for one pax!

As it is Friday night, there are many people having their dinner in this small restaurant. Gelare is famous for it's ice cream and many diners had their ice cream together with waffle here as well. I have not try the Gelare ice cream before, but judging from the amount of diners crowding here for ice cream desserts, it seems like the ice cream is quite tasty. Perhaps I will come back again some other time. So, let's see what we have for our dinner here.

Ice Lemon Tea 

Hot Tea - Peach & Passionfruit Flavour

Curly Fries with Cheese Topping!

Half Classic Waffle with Chocolate Sauce Topping!

Bacon Pasta

For beverage, I opted for peach and passionfruit  flavour hot tea. They gave a sachet of tea bag and one hot water pot for you to refill. The tea smells so nice and is light scented. It is so nice to end the heavy meal with a light hot tea and it feels so "Winter Warmers" style. Winter Warmers is my favourite English style restaurant in Malaysia and they serve good quality of teas for you to enjoy, together with a romantic and tranquil seating environment. For the main course, we can only take Bacon Pasta in this promotional course. The pasta is not very salty, and it is topped with creamy mushroom sauce on top. However, the pasta amount is not very big. Since we have side dish to enjoy, so the meal is fulfilling as well. The side dishes of curly fries and half chocolate waffle are very nice. They have a generous cup of cheese sauce topping provided for you to dip the curly fries inside and we can't even finish the cheese sauce topping. The curly fries reminds me of the one we have in McDonalds every year when nearby Chinese New Year festive season, except that Gelare gives you a "Nancho-like" cheese which is a plus! For the half chocolate waffle is to my personal liking as it is like a sweet dessert to end your dinner meal. The waffle smells nice after baked and when top with my favourite chocolate sauce, it becomes even better! The price of full classic waffle costs about $9.60, and you have top up handpicked ice cream scoop onto waffle as well with an additional charge. The dessert here is tasty and that explains why many diners come here for desserts.

Whole table of foods

The whole table of meal costs a total bill of ~$28 for two of us. It is certainly a nice place to have dinner and chit-chat with your friends. And the price is worthy especially this Mix and Match Christmas set meal! And let me share with you one more deal here, for every Tuesday they are having promotion of all regular waffles at only half price, which means 50% discounts! I will come back here again! Say hello to December, say hello to Christmas and New Year! 👄💘
