Food for Thought is located near Tanglin Gate at Botanical Garden, at B1. You will have to take the stairs down.



Food For Thought serves European cuisine which consists of all day breakfast , burgers, Pasta , mains, desserts , soups, salads and they also serve alcoholic beverages if you are interested to indulge in some alcohol.


Food for thought provides a very cosy ambiance for you and your friends or loved ones to enjoy while savouring your food. The place is rather huge, and it is very spacious, with loads of tables and chairs. Hence, you don't need to be afraid whether you will be able to get seats during peak periods.Fret not, as the restaurant provides extra seats outside. Also, there is a small playground build for kids to play, located beside the restaurant, it will be ideal if you are bringing your kids along with you.









I have ordered the classic beef with Kaffir Lime Mayo. This burger was rather mediocre , and I had better ones before. Based on my own opinions, I found it rather dry and it could be better. However, it is not too bad.


On the other hand, my friend had the plain Linguine , Aglio Olio. It tasted rather tasty, but quite ordinary.


Last but not least, we ordered our dessert, we choose the Old Southern Red Velvet cake. This is something YOU MUST TRY! IT IS REALLY DELICIOUS ! It has a very rich flavour.


Red velvet cake is a popular cake with a dark red, bright red or red-brown color. It is traditionally prepared as a layer cake topped with cream cheese icing, and sometimes cookie dough filling. The reddish color is achieved by adding red food coloring.


Common ingredients include buttermilk, butter, flour, cookie dough for the filling, cocoa, and beetroot or red food coloring.


If you have not try red velvet before, you should try one ! I bet you will not regret it! :D


Overall, Food for thought is really a nice cafe where you can chill with your friends. I had a great time over there. However, one thing you should take note about Food for thought is that they do not have Service charge. Hence, this tells you that there will be no waiter or waitress serving you. If you want a cup of ice water, you will have to get it yourself. If you are a very lazy person, then maybe food for thought will not be your cup of tea.


Other than that, I will recommend you to patronize this place, as it offers good food and at a rather affordable price, it is not pricey. One of my friend, commented that she really loves the pancakes there. Maybe , one day, I will go back to Food for Thought and try it! :)

AU CHOCOLAT @MBS

Au Chocolat is a french restaurant located at:
L1-03, Bay Level, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
Contact no:
+65 6688 7227
You can visit their website for more information: http://www.auchocolat.com/

The first impression that I got when I stepped into the restaurant was , " wow! This restaurant is really pretty " They have a very elaborated European vintage design furnish and decorations , that will leave you breathless. They even have a operating toy train circulating around the restaurant's ceiling , that fascinates me.

This French restaurant , Au Chocolat serves All day Breakfast, Pancakes, Salads , Pastas, french toasts, hand-made savoury and sweet crepes , accompanied with a snack menu such as tater tots, truffle fries, desserts , cakes, etc. They also serves a wide selection of chocolates and candies and pastries.


We had the egg poached crepe which was recommended by the waiter , as one of the hot sellers in Au Chocolat. The egg poached crepe is unlike any ordinary crepe that is served in Marche or in any other places. The egg poached crepe that they served was really sweet, and the ham they had on top of it, has a hinge of spiciness. The flavour really blends in well with the sweet tasting crepe. On top of that ,there was a huge amount of vegetables pile on top of it. It provides a very wholesome taste to the crepe. I will highly recommend you to try this. It is really good ! I enjoyed it really much .


We also tried the stuff berries French toast , which is superbly DELICIOUS! :D It is so good, that you will crave for more.

The french toast is rather sweet and crispy with a pinch of chocolaty flavour added to it , with stuffed berries and strawberries that added the sweet and sour flavour blended with the taste of the buttery french toast.

It is really an ideal place to hang out with your friends or loved ones to catch up or to bring a girl on a date as Au Chocolat provides a great ambiance , with french music played at the background. Furthermore, the services they provide there is really good, the waiter was really friendly! I will highly recommend this place to you, especially, if you are a sweet tooth and enjoy desserts and chocolates. You should DEFINITELY try this place out ! You will not regret it!
