Mussel Madness

August 31st 2009

To celebrate the two August babies birthday, I suggested dinner at Brussel Sprouts @ Robertson Quay. I discovered this restaurant via the STB website and have been wanting to try it out since forever! So finally the right occasion came for us to visit the restaurant.

Sin Dee & myself arrived at the venue pretty early but reservation was made for 6.30pm. We both decided to order our food & drinks first while waiting for Elaine. They were having a promo for their mussels, aptly named Mussel Madness, where 2 main size pots of mussels for $50. Hence, we ordered that and it comes with free flow of fries, yum!

The yummy mussels:

MARINIERE: Mussels with white wine, cream, butter, celery, onion, parsley

PROVENCALE: Mussels gratinated with herb de province, garlic, olive oil, parmesan cheese, red capsicum, rosemary, tomato

Elaine finally came a while after the food was served or else both Sin Dee & I could have gobbled down everything, LOL. Out of the two flavours, all of us agreed that the mariniere tasted better than the provencale. But it was still alright, just that it tasted ‘very tomato-ish’. The fries were pretty good though - its thick and hot, freshly out of the fryer. We like! =)

We ordered a lil’ ’small eat’ dish to share after that even though we were quite full.

This restaurant is located at Robertson Quay and it has a nice view of the S’pore river so we decided to take some photos.

The birthday gurls with their cakes! =D

Hope you gurls enjoyed yourselves & Happy Belated Birthday dearies!
