FullHouse Lifestyle Cafe Singapore!

i came across this deal from FullHouse Lifestyle Cafe last week and i thought, wow what is this a deal from Malaysia? but lo and behold, they opened one in Singapore! :D so i forwarded the deal to Susan and said we HAVE to go check it out. we missed the deal (because she FORGOT to reply -.-) but we checked it out anyway. i said it's for our 40th monthsary celebration lol.

she sent me this on twitter while i was battling at work and it really made my day when i finally took a breather to check my phone. :'D

so we made plans on a fine day, no less!
i had to take a photo of the sun because it was a gorgeous day! :)
even superman melted lol.

we headed to Rendezvous Hotel from City Hall and it is a short walk, really. plus the weather was a godsend. i had no idea which part of the hotel to go to, but Susan checked and said it's on the second floor. we were about to head in when i saw this around the corner:
*GASP* i recognise the car! FullHouse has this signature car of different colors at different outlets. if you click on the interactive website they have the photo collection of the various cars. okay sidetrack, this was the one at Sunway Paramid:

okay to be honest i'm a car noob but i recognise that they're all topless hahahaha.

these are photos of the lower level, at the entrance where it appears to look like a beautiful quaint yard. FullHouse has this homely ambience with different interior sections arranged with a Victorian flair! i've always thought that they based the concept on the Korean drama Full House with a tinge of their own version. AND i never knew this restaurant is from Malaysia! yay because i went to one of the outlets there already. :D

if you were to walk to Rendezvous Hotel from The Cathay, you will see this area just after you cross the road. kinda like a cosy corner if you will.

while we went crazy snapping photos of the area, TWO staff came to tell us that the bistro is upstairs. LOL. they were really nice and even offered to show us up! but i declined because Susan was on the phone tryna psycho her laogong to join us and i wanted to take more photossssss.

this greeted us when we went to the second floor! like wow the entire walkway leading to the restaurant itself. :O

we had a cosy little corner and the restaurant was practically empty at 5pm. lol. so we went around taking photos like it was our own house. haha!

so this was my view from the nice corner. FullHouse usually have a boutique area where they sell actual merchandise. it's like the "bedroom" part of the house!

then i tried out one of my phone apps for sport lol. my phone is very under-utilized please!

 the balcony! there are doves evvvvverywhere.

the front area of the second floor. such a dainty fountain and there were coins in there too. lol people find it hard to resist making wishes whenever possible. ;)

HELLO! :D

i LOVE this corner! imma copy this for my future home lol. *mentally file it away*

framed pictures on the wall, just like a real home! :)

okay now, THE FOOD. haha wait very long already right! imma present, the menu:

so ke ai~~ it's like a magazine and there is even a comics section at the end.
this was my order. it's called The Wrap from Rome, S$12.90. and i really expected a wrap, not a salad. lol. so anyway, it's like caesar salad with smoked salmon. :)

this was Susan's Pineapple Chicken Salad, S$8.90.

i got distracted by the cai because it looks like those cai people use to welcome the lion dance troupe lololol.

our drinks! mine was Iced Korean Jujube Tea (left) and hers was Honey Green Tea, S$3.90 and S$5.90 respectively.

the spoons are damn CUTE.
Susan ordered a Rosella Spaghetti, S$16.90. unique tomato sauce based!

Kenny ordered a Club Sandwich, S$13.90. it came with fries and the infamous lion dance cai. lololol.

also, this Calamari Ring and Onion Ring Combo to share, S$10.90. it came with wasabi mayo sauce!

i ordered a hi-tea set, which comprised of a pie/cake and coffee/tea/iced lemon tea for S$5.90. i got the apple pie and gave the iced tea to Kenny.
our 40th monthsary turned out to be..a Lady and the Tramp moment. LOL.

more photos of the other parts of the restaurant. apparently the other "rooms" are separated as VIP rooms, so there are minimum spendings if you wanna dine in any of them. just check them out, Susan went around taking photos but i couldn't because by the time i went snooping, the Vasantham Central crew were in there filming. T^T

i was really quite bummed that i didn't get to explore. oh well, next time!

so. my verdict: i'm super biased because i already LOVE the ambience of the place, having had the experience in KL before. i'm quite liking the one in Singapore because it's located in a less crowded area but by no way means unpopular. you can totally enjoy affordable and delicious food in a homely setting. and you don't have to do the dishes after. :P the staff seemed pretty new but they're friendly so i'm definitely going back again!

FullHouse is located at 9 Bras Basah Road #01-04 Rendezvous Gallery (Tel: 63366328). check out their facebook page too!
