Food Bloggers' Gathering ( Halia Restaurant)
It was Harris who organized this Food bloggers' gathering at The Halia Restaurant (Botanical Gradens). It's good to know that somebody share the common interest as myself- Food blogging. Got to know some food bloggers- HArris, Kaelyn, Serene, Fen & Yuan, Angeline... and the list goes on. We had ala-carte brunch at the halia restaurant which we ordered the food before-hand. I counted.. there were 18 food bloggers all together, a pity that Elaine couldn't made it. I wanted to meet her personally... perhaps the next food bloggers outing? The food bloggers made fun of me, saying that I owned Hungrygowhere.
The Halia Restaurant
Actually i had been there once, which is abt 1-2 yrs old. I can't really recall the experience back. Halia Restaurant is set admist the Botanical gardens and is popular with tourists with their ala-carte brunch. The ambience, setting and atmosphere is perfect for people to enjoy their brunch in the greenery.
Most of the food bloggers ordered the Poached Egg on Brioche/ Kurobuta and Portobello burger. However, Cheryl(from she bakes and she cooks) and myself ordered something else- The Caesar salad with grilled chicken fillet and Multi grain fingers with blue cheese which were something different from the rest.
Poached egg on brioche(choice of ocean trout, vegetarian or crispy black bacon)
looks so ''cute'' with a poached egg laying at the top of the Brioche. The egg yolk oozes out with the the yellowish yolk...looks good!
Caesar Salad with Grilled chicken
A simple dish. The portion was quite small... romaine lettuce, cheese, bacon bits, garlic croutons & Grilled chicken fillets. The star of the show is actually the Grilled chicken fillets. There were 3 grilled chicken fillets, seasoned with herbs and cajun seasoning. The chicken fillets were well- seasoned, a pity that it was a little on the dry side. The salad is not too creamy with bits of bacon bits that brings out the flavour.
After brunch, we mingle around, took photos... chit chat, introduce and share food experiences to each other. I enjoyed this food bloggers gathing and in fact, i looked forward to the next one.
