Extra Virgin Pizza x The Entertainer Singapore 2014

Have you caught on the recent café-hopping bug? Or living the high life at the prime of your youth but find that dining out and other enjoyments are getting more and more expensive? :( We all have to agree that Singapore can be quite an expensive city to live in, especially dining at a decent restaurant which can easily cost $40-$60 per pax. 

But recently I’ve managed to visit new restaurants and bars at ONLY HALF THE PRICE, all thanks to The Entertainer App! Yayyy! 

The Entertainer, an international Dubai-based company offering a portfolio of ‘buy one get one free’ incentive vouchers has launched a state-of-the-art app following its success of the voucher book which landed in Singapore in 2013.

The Entertainer Singapore is packed with over 1,150 buy one get one free offers for Singapore's hottest restaurants, bars, informal dining, spas, activities, attractions and more. With 3 vouchers per merchant, you can visit our partners more than just once or include your family and friends in the 1 for 1 fun. Also included is the Entertainer Travel Asia & Indian Ocean edition, which features over 380 free night offers for hotels and resorts throughout Asia & the Indian Ocean. The Entertainer Singapore 2014 could Save you more than SGD 150,000 this year!

For those who enjoy luxurious dining places such as the Prime Society, Michelangelo’s, b@Rochester, Moonstone, The White Rabbit, Au Petite Salut, Marriott Cafe, The Disgruntled Chef, Balaclava, Fat Cow, and etc, at only half the price! 

For café-hoppers, some popular hunts which you may be familiar with - the Department of Caffeine, Habitat Coffee, Lola;s Café, Toby’s Estate, Windowsill Pies, Canopy are all on the app!

Not only these fine dining restaurants, nightspots, and modern & contemporary dining, The Entertainer Singapore app gives you vouchers for daily quick snacks and drinks at places like ShareTea, Ben & Jerry’s, Cupcakes with Love, The Yogurt Place, Dunkin Donuts, Maggie Moo’s, just to name a few.

***

The Extra Virgin Pizza outlet has a warm and casual ambience and the new branch at the United Square is spacious enough for long tables - great for large groups gatherings!

We were told that the pizzas are the mains available for Buy-One-Get-One-Free.

So it was PURE PIZZA night!

All pizzas are hand-made and baked to order at Extra Virgin Pizza. And as the name suggests, Extra Virgin Pizza uses quality and pure extra virgin olive oil, and only globally sourced premium ingredients such as Italian double-zero flour, california organic Saporito tomatoes and premium imported cheeses and toppings.

With more than 10 unique flavours for pizzas, we spent quite a bit of time making our choices!

There were two chef recommendation/favourites ordered - Spotted Pig and Pistachio Pesto.

Spotted Pig Pizza $26

with tomato, mozzarella, pepperoni, pork sausage, applewood smoked bacon, parmigiano reggiano

Pistachio Pesto $24
with pistachio pesto, mozzarella, baby arugula, lemon vinaigrette, pecorino, provolone



While the two recommendations above were delightful, my personal favourites are actually Mushroom Bianco and Seafood Pizza!


Mushroom Bianco $22
with mozzarella, roasted mushrooms and onions, fontina, rosemary, pecorino, truffle oil

This was sooo good even though it's basically just cheese and mushrooms! (okay, with a drizzle of truffle oil)
There wasn't any pizza sauce used, which allows the natural flavour of the mushrooms to ooze out as you bite into the pizza.
Do try this if you're a mushroom lover like me! :D

Seafood $26
with bechamel, prawns, clams, squid, cherry tomatoes, chili flakes, parmigiano reggiano, pecorino, lemon juice, shaved garlic



This came as a surprise favourite for myself as I don't usually take spiciness well. The seafood pizza came with some chili flakes which was considered mild and adds on to the flavour perfectly.
Ingredients used were very fresh. I like especially the squid which was Q and springy!


Yummy homemade sodas to wash the palate. The raspberry mint is a must-try!



Here's a sample of The Entertainer Singapore and Travel vouchers in hardcopies.
Imagine having to lug the heavy books around just in case you pass by any places to use the vouchers *sweats*



The app is SO MUCH MORE convenient with the exact same offers!
Besides, with the app, you can view your offers by location – all your offers load in proximity to you or you can view the Entertainer map which features individual pins for every available Entertainer offer!

Also, for additional Members Offers (additional buy one get one free brunches, activities, massages and more), you just have to load directly onto your phone, instead of having to print from the website!

As mentioned earlier, the app not only provides dining deals, it also features a Hotel Supplement which is available for redemption on the App. Ideal for staycations or exotic breaks, the Supplement includes 4 and 5* hotels in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Indian Ocean.

On top on these, it also contains other local entertainment and activities eg:

La Mav is made by and for women who value a chemical free, healthy lifestyle!

4 of La Mav's collector/starter packs.

Tarj Mavi gave us an introduction of La Mav.

La Mav Skincare was created by Tarj Mavi, who, after suffering from skin pigmentation after the birth of her second child, was unable to find a skincare range that could deliver visible results but was free from harsh chemicals. Having worked in the research and development field for over 25 years, Tarj was able to utilise this knowledge, and combine it with a desire to create a completely organic skin care range that would deliver visible results whilst being gentle to the skin and environment. Tarj believes that no woman should have to sacrifice beauty for health. The products speak for themselves.

Few of their best-selling items -

Anti Dark-Circle & Ultra-Firm Eye Gel

La Mav Anti Dark-Circle and Ultra-Firm Eye Gel is an advanced light cooling gel to revive and lighten the delicate eye area. Formulated with Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C that reduces the appearance of puffiness and dark circles. The eye contour looks smoother, firmer.

Bio A7 Firming Eye Lotion

This AWARD WINNING velvety crème visibly rejuvenate and transforms the delicate eye area. Formulated with Hibiscus Esculentus and Pisum Sativum Extract to increase elasticity and smoothen lines and wrinkles. Leaves skin visibly lifted and toned.

With Joanna and Kim.

Thanks La Mav for having us at the launch!


♥~Giveaway~♥



After trying several products from the Ultra Hydration and Skin Brightening range of La Mav, I'm really impressed by the Ultra Hydration range as it shows me the effects immediately the following day of usage!

Two products I would highly recommend are the Hyaluronic Acid Hydra-Max Serum and Intense Moisture Nightly Repair Nectar. Both of which La Mav is kindly offering to 5 of my readers! :)

A personal note is that the Hyaluronic Acid Hydra-Max Serum is easily absorbed and hence more suited for day usage. The Intense Moisture Nightly Repair Nectar is slightly heavier, and more oily, which is why it's for night repair :)

Fullhouse Signature Singapore @ Clarke Quay

I'm sure many (especially KPOP fans) have heard of Full House - Korean drama featuring Rain and Song Hye Gyo, as well as the lovely theme cafe “Fullhouse Lifestyle Store and Cafe” previously located at Hotel Rendezvous.

Unfortunately, the latter has closed down.

But...FRET NOT! Fullhouse is now re-opened in Singapore at Clarke Quay with new management and the cafe focuses on its signature dishes more than before, hence, Fullhouse Signature <3

The bloggers were invited to their food tasting just last week and to bring to you a wonderful 1-for-1 deal at the end of this post ^^

Fullhouse Signature brings new dimensions to wedding and dining experience, with an edge in creating a dream home for all. It caters to family gatherings, high tea sessions, relaxing meet-ups, and the showcase of the arts. It now encompasses a wider and more creative range of exciting happenings than its previous cafe and is eager to hose all sorts of family events, business meetings, alumni activities, product launching, or just a gathering of close friends. Consider this your home for any activity or program you wish to organize!

The main mascots of Fullhouse Signature are the Fullhouse family, namely dad Thomas, mum Tracy, children Tiffani and Tony, as well as pet dog Toy as your friendly and pleasant hosts.

Try to spot them in the photos later in the post! ;)

***

Without much further ado, let's take a look at the lovely theme restaurant. The management team has spent months sourcing for suitable decor and even having them custom-made overseas for the restaurant to ensure that every corner is perfect!

Garden theme

Victorian theme

(as well as a children play area adjoined)

Wedding corner

*pardon the lousy photo quality

This area acts as a bridal boutique where you can try on the gowns and do your makeup by the pretty dressing corner, yes, for real!

The gowns are even available for purchase if you like :)

And here's your groom, ROFL.

Can't help but take a selfie in the lovely bridal section <3

(no, this isn't their gown)

Garden Bar?

Now, to the food.

Oh before that, they have young, cute waitress to serve your food ^^

Cream of Forest Mushroom $9

Simmered with wild mushrooms, herbs, and topping with cream & tuffle oil

I love how the soup is thick, yet not too creamy. It's made with freshly chopped chunks of mushrooms - authentically good!

The bread that came along were extremely crispy.

Crunchy Cheese Sticks $11

Deep fried cheese sticks coated with crispy breadcrumbs

Look how unique the erm, spoon, it was served in.

This was one of my favourite dish out of so many even though it's simply mozzarella cheese coated with bread crumbs, I find the taste so divine~~ T.T

Italian Meatball $17

Homemade meatballs served with tomato sauce and melted cheese on top

The meatball itself was a little bland. However, the melted cheese and tomato sauce makes up for it!

Just have to make sure you get the sauce together with the meatball before you bite in :)

Golden Crabmeat Ball $11

Homemade crab meat ball served with cream cheese

These crab meatballs were a little too dry and flaky for my liking.

Might be better if there were fresh, juicy crab meat in it?

However, for the price of $11,this will do as a quick fix if you have a craving for crab meat.

Scallop Aglio Spagehetti $22

Smooth virgin olive oil with a touch of chili padi and garlic served with sauteed whole scallops

The scallops were really huge! And done pretty well so that they were still juicy and soft.

Fullhouse Ravioli $25

Special creamy ravioli stuffed with minced prawns, squids and spinach

The presentation of the ravioli once again surprised us :) Having an aesthetically-pleasing dish already makes customers 50% satisfied.

However, having tried authentic yummy ravioli in Italy personally, this dish was a little far from expectations.

The pasta itself could been a little thinner, either that or more of the fillings (and more cream please, yes!).

Perhaps each petal of ravioli could be made smaller, more bite-sized, for ladies to have an easier time to enjoy the food :)

Braised Lamb Shank $19

Lamb shank simmered in red wine jus

Not a fan of lamb personally, thus I can't comment.

But per other bloggers who likes lamb shanks, this was definitely a *thumbs up*! Aww!

I had the mash potato which looks so pretty at the side though.

Chicken Chop with Raisin Black Pepper Sauce $25

Served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables

I have no idea how they do it (otherwise, I would have been a chef), but the skin was so crispy and yet meat remains tender and juicy. LOVE this dish!

The raisin pepper sauce is pretty innovative as well, making it slightly more fragrant with the dried grapes.

Banana Paradise $9

Golden crispy fritters served with vanilla ice-cream

Well well, these are some GOOD goreng-pisang (fried bananas) with vanilla ice-cream. Perfect duo!

Molten Chocolate Cake $9

Chocolate cake filled with lava like smooth cocoa

We were slightly disappointed when there weren't any chocolate lava oozing out when we cut the cake :/ That's supposed to happen, right!? To have molten chocolate within the cake!

But right upon trying the cake, all my disappointments were gone!

The (not-so-molten) chocolate in the cake were nonetheless soft and slightly chewy, making the dessert so satisfying.

The strawberries were surprisingly sweet (not the usual sour ones we have) too!

Snow White on Fire

One of their signature cocktail, with a presentation style similar to flaming lamborgini, Snow White on Fire.

The cocktail has citrus, honey and (plum) many other ingredient in it which makes it not only exciting to watch, but super delicious too! To me, it tasted like refreshing honey plum and I had to control myself not to have too much of it! :X Otherwise I'd be drunk pretty soon!

Now, here's the sweet deal for everyone! Fullhouse Signature is offering 1-FOR-1 main course, from today til 10 December 2013! :)
Simply scan the QR code or flash the coupon below before ordering.

Guys, you can take the chance to ask the girl to share the 1-for-1 main with you *winks*
