Archipelago Creamery + Big Eater Seafood Restaurant (Jurong West) (大食家海鲜)

There have been lotsa new cafes opening  every now and then. But its always so far away from my area. Finally, more cafes are opening at the west side, and majority at the JURONG area! Yeah!
Gonna try out one at a time.

Decided to try this one out first, since its nearer to us and its just located next to where my cousin is staying. So, its also a meet up.

Only realized its was my aunt's bday too on the day itself. So, it's a mini celebration for my aunt too.


We wanted to have dinner first then head for dessert. But the Zichar place was so crowded, so we decided to have light dessert first. :)




Archipelago Creamery
Address: 60 Jurong West St 91, ##01-09 Nanyang CC, Spore 649040
Contact: +65 90246088
Opening hours: 12pm to 12am daily


It's a nautical themed café with tiffany blue overall. A very cosy and nice place to chill.
Surprisingly, it wasn't as crowded as I expected. Probably because people are having their dinner now? But my aunt was saying normally weekday nights were rather crowded. Guessed most of them should be students studying at the café.


Of cos before I come, I know what I have to order.
CHARCOAL WAFFLE!  SHIBUYA TOAST!

 

 

 


 

 

 

A variety of flavors!
 


 

Matty and Val
 


 
Hello!


 

My cousin, Ginna.
 

 


 

The kitchen is above us!

 

 

 

My 10th Aunt and uncle.

We chose chocolate and earl grey lavender ice cream.
They are good. Very rich in flavor. Will be back to try other flavors!
 
Oh ya, did you see the spoon? Its a mini spade shovel. So cute right?!!!

 

 

Here comes out Strawberry and chocolate Shibuya toast..

 

We all like the buttered bread sticks inside. Goes well with the vanilla ice cream.
 
Frankly when you are with kids around, its really difficult to enjoy your food.
But its a different kind of experience...
Offer a small amount of ice cream to Val.. wahhaha...
 
*there's baby chair in the café too!

 


 


 

 

 

 


 




Overall, I would rate a 4 out of 5 for this dessert café. It's pretty and have a nice ambience. The ice creams were good. However, the service was a little slow especially when there's not a lot of customers. Waited for quite a while for our food to be served.
But still, since the food turned out to be pretty and YUMS.... still a thumbs up! :)
and its WEST SIDE! so, thumbs thumbs all up! lol.
Would be good to have some savory dishes too....

Overall, I think the dishes here are not bad.
Their service was good too and the food came quite fast!

Yoogane @ Westgate

Yoogane @ Westgate

Address: 3 Gateway Drive, #03-08 Westgate, Spore 608532
Contact no: +65 67107821
Opening hours: 11.30am to 10pm

For more info, http://yoogane.com.sg/


Initially, I wanted to call and make reservation, so I googled and found this number,+65 6337 7337. But it turned out that the number was for Yoogane Bugis instead.
However, when I managed to call through Yoogane Westgate, they don't take any reservation, only walk-in(s).


Ok, so it's the M.E.A.T makan time again!!! Finally, a time when all of us are free. Decided to try something else this time round other than HaiDiLao!

Decided on Yoogane since they wanna have Korea BBQ and its at Jurong area, easier for most of us...


There wasn't any queue yet, cos we reached before 5.30pm where most people just knocked off from work?
 

 

 

 

Basically, when I'm out with them... the amount of food they order sure gonna be like a crazy!
Meanwhile I went to do some quick errands.
 

And came back to see... 4 bottles of beer.
Yoogane's Chicken Galbi.
 
 

Alamak... ask Ting Ting to take pic of me fake cooking...
She took just the two of us.... lol
 

 

Ok, kinda fake... oh well.... hahahahaha
 

okok, shall let them do the cooking instead.
 
 

Free flow of salads at the salad bar.
 
 

 

 

Strawberry sauce for the cabbage?
 

hmmm, find it a little weird combi though.
 

 

 

Let Mrs Lim do the rest of the cooking ok?!

 

Wefie... CHeers!
 

Egg Cheese Roll..
 
This is awesome. A must order dish.
I like eggs, I like cheese. I like tomato sauce.
It's a great combi!
 
Look at the cheese!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Marinated Chicken stew
 
Lots of topoki, noodles, chicken inside.
Not too spicy, taste not too bad.
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Cold noodles
 
The noodles were very QQ. But the noodles kinda clump together though.
I still prefer the one I taste at JP - Baek Doo San.
 

Look at those gluttons!
 

 



Finally done cooking!
 
Quite a variety of ingredients in it.
However, I felt Big Mama's taste better.
 
 
We ordered sweet potato topokki too!
Something special right?
 

 


 

 

 

 

 

Next up is the Marinated Chicken Galbi Cheese Fried rice!
 


I love cheese with anything.
 
So I enjoy the fried rice.
 
 
After we left the place, there's queue already.
 
 

 
Overall, I felt the place was quite comfy. Any place that you can have MEAT and BEER together will be good for friends to chill and chitchat. Customer service wise, hmmmm I don't see the waiters or waitresses smiling while serving or cooking leh.... Can smile more or not? wahahhahahaha...
Total bill was about $200+ for the 4 of us, not sure the exact, cos someone foot the bill... oops :)
So, its about $50-70 per pax. With the beer and so many other dishes we ordered, I think its still quite affordable.

I would rate a 3/5 for this. As there's quite a variety of choices for the Chicken Galbi, toppings and side dishes to go along. Prices are affordable and cosy place.
That's all for this one!






Thanks for viewing.
