Sunset Grill & Pub

This entry is dedicated to E.

I've known E for merely two years. If I remember correctly, I've not gone out with her alone more than twice. They say, it doesn't take a food connoisseur to tell if the food is good. Likewise, it doesn't take a decade to find out E is a nice girl.

She's helpful, kind, caring, sincere, friendly, trustworthy, responsible and the list goes on.
One thing all her friends will have to agree is that she is very good at organising.

Lately, I got to discover this really cool dining place and other interesting shooting locations all thanks to her.
Sunset Grill & Pub is located at Singapore Flying Club, overlooking a beautiful sunset and, if you're lucky, private jets taking off or landing.

I was a tad disappointed to learn that Sunset Grill & Pub is opened by the owner of
Jerry's BBQ & Grill. I'm not sure if Jerry's is related to Buckaroo BBQ & Grill but somehow I prefer the latter. No, I'm not about to start a debate who is better. After all, I love both their signature buffalo wings.

We skipped the main course and ordered a variety of appetisers to share.

The highlight got to be the highly acclaimed fiery buffalo wings with spiciness from level 1 to all the way to 30! If you're up for the challenge at level 30, your name will be on the hall of fame. Or rather hall of flame!

Try the wings last in case the spiciness numbs your tastebuds. For the chicken hearted, there's also the non-spicy version.

We started with half a dozen of at level 3($19.50). Tasty, tangy, spicy. Still enjoyable. For someone who can't take spiciness like E, that's her limit. KT thought it was no sweat and we doubled up to level 6 for the next half a dozen($21.00).

First bite, it was just as spicy as level 3. A few seconds later, the spiciness started to bit my tongue. I sipped a mouthful of ice cold beer to put out the fire but it only worsened the situation. After the beer went down my throat, my mouth started burning. I could however finished the whole thing without tearing. KT on the other hand, was screaming for water in between bites. *LOL* And poor KC felt miserable after finishing up his share.


I can't imagine how spicy level 10 is, let alone 30. O_O|||

After the burning sensation which left us with Angelina Jolie's lips, we had something sweet to neutralise our tastebuds.

Happy birthday, E. Hope you had a great time. :)

Sunset Grill & Pub is a nice and secluded laid-back place to chill out. I suppose many came here because of its rustic ambience. You may want to set off earlier as the area is quite a maze.

relax choya

We could be a better way to relax on a Saturday night than chilling out with girl friends. It just happened that T, instead of some high-class French wine, bought a bottle of Choya Royal Honey Plum Wine from DFS on her return trip from Paris. We decided to chill out indoor that particular night. Choya Royal Honey is a blend of Choya's classic plum wine with honey, royal jelly and whole plums. Drinking it neat was a tad too sweet and to mix it with green tea was too expected (although honey green tea sounds good). We ended up concocting it with Berri's Apple Cranberry Juice. I won't say it was a match made in heaven but the zest and sweetness of both drinks blended perfectly. I'm sure you'll love it, P!

Don't forget to get some Japanese snack to go along. This is one of my favourite Japanese snacks which I'm surprised that MM hasn't tasted or seen them before. Probably because she's not a snack person while I'm a 100% junkie. They are spicy rice crackers and usually come with peanuts. I found these unique cheese coated ones from Muji ($2.30). Nice.

These shrimp crackers from Daiso ($2.00) are great drink-match snack too.

thirsty for more?

My foodie fans are complaining that I've been eating too much and blogging too little. Here's a drink to quench their thirst first. :P

Post-Museum Pour-spiced apple tea ($2.00) from Food #03, is a concoction of apple tea, mint leaves, lime, longan and some spices. Unique and refreshing after a long walk around Little India.

I'm no big fan of vegetarian food but I'm impressed with the concept and feel of Food #03. You can check out what's cooking in their very healthy kitchen. I will definitely drop by again for their Tempeh Burger sometime. No GST, no service charge, no microwave oven. And yes, they recycle! I wonder what they recyle! Haha! Let's go green!
