Hi there! We're your hungry ghosts, hosts, we mean for the day! Kelly & Mickey! =D
Yesterday could be considered quite uh... exciting.
=] it wasn't too bad lar. Mickey seems to love exploring all the popular places to eat at, so this time, he did some careful research and brought us to Stone Grill.
Located at some far far away land at Katong.. which is hella far away from my home sweet home.
We took a train all the way to Eunos, and took a cab down to 91 East Coast Rd.
Reservations made at 7, we were promptly assigned our seat at 7.05.
Their staff were clad in black uniform, and the manager even had a jacket on.
Oh & all of them communicated via Motorola walkie talkies.
Service was pretty good, they introduced the menu to you and well, were quick.
Oh & food was served in 5 mins.
We ordered 3 mains, all chef's recommendations:
Prime of the Land $23.90
Which is a piece of thick juicy tenderloin served on a stone, kinda makes you feel like a caveman. Like some flintstone huh?
Portobello Mushroom $8
According to mickey, this is the 'in' mushroom of the moment; Carl's Jr have a portobello mushroom burger too!
Big & juicy! Oh it has a black bottom, and we thought it was burnt!
The mushroom is simply fresh, a tad raw, but good.
Ultimate SeaFood Combo $21.90
A little bit of everything, 'best suited for first timers' according to the waiter Dominic.
As you can see, it has 2 empty scallop shells(bec the scallop is already in my stomach), 5 mussels, 2 tiny shrimps ( minus), 1 piece of dory, squids, ah, that's it.
When I placed my first piece of scallop on the grill, it sizzled and popped and I jumped, afraid it'd splatter on me. But since there was no oil, only some salt, nothing could.
I start digging in!
'Can you see the smoke of my steak?? Quick take a picture!' Yes I can sweetie.. but not in the picture.
I liked it quite a lot; but I was concerned about one thing:
We were using the same pair of cutlery to pick up the raw food, and the same pair we used to put into our mouths. Isn't there supposed to be some kinda germ or bacteria on raw food? As I type, I feel a strange feeling in my stomach. =S
Other than that, it was good. Food was simply done, and you could really taste the food. No msg or oil or whatsoever to prevent you from tasting food food. With some salt sprinkled on the stone grill to taste, it was enough.
Despite the lack of seasoning, the food was anything but bland. Fresh!
Oh but you would have be careful not to burn your tongue. I did twice, in my eagerness to plonk the food I cooked into my mouth.
After a not very filling dinner( we're relatively big eaters )
We headed to East Coast Park, which was a very gruelling experience.
=S We went there by cab, and as usual, there was a jam down to ECP, and halfway, the driver said, why dun u get off here and walk down? It's a lot faster. There's a flight of stairs leading down.
We believed him and got off, (Mickey even said to keep the change), and to our horror, there was only a steep slope. And I was wearing a skirt and heels!
After several squealing & shrieking, Mickey finally persuaded me to try going down with him holding me. 'You've got me here. Don't worrY!'
I nodded and agreed to try. But before I did, I screamed in his face, ' If I tumble down and get disfigured, you're dead!!!'
I think he was kinda scared I would too.
Step by step, we did it! =D YAY! Turning back, I couldn't believe I let him talk me into going down that dangerous slope!
But he was very apologetic for making me go thru all that trouble.
We made our way there, and he planned a little something for us!
He brought a ground mat, and a packet of candles. Yes, you guessed!
Star Gazing & all! But darn, this picture makes me look really fat & bloated!!!!
It reads I heart U.
He starts lighting them up while I lie there and look.
No, my babies! He tries to protect the flickering flames from the sea breeze.
