What I have in my mind is just having the usual coffee and muffin in a coffee shop but since the mall and the cafeteria I went to are packed with people, this restaurant caught my attention to what was playing in the overhead projector.
It's the F1.
I am not a fan of F1 but out of curiosity, I went in, given that their draft beer offer is irresistable.
There are three sections in he restaurant; indoor dining, bar and al fresco dining.
Situated along the shore of Harbourfront center, it's a good place to unwind and spend the afternoon for a laidback weekend.
Numerous lamps are hanging all over the place, mostly are concentrated at the long bar. There are also plenty of ceiling fans circling above us. The walls are made of red bricks and the furnitures are of dark wood.
The place is packed with people, mostly are British, given that the race has started.
I decided to sit at the bar adjacent to the al fresco dining area. It wasn't bad at all since the cool breeze from the sea blows toward my direction.
This restaurant serves Archipelago crafted beers and are available in three sizes: half pint (330 ml), pint (500 ml), and pitcher (1 L).
Prices are gradual from opening-3pm, 3pm-9pm and 9pm- close. It's their version of happy hour.
I had a pint of Irish ale, a dark lager, which has the highest intensity of alcohol level. It has the hint of chocolate, toffee and caramel.
I started with the corn chips and mango salsa. Its oven-toasted corn chips with chunky mango and tomato salsa dip which has the balance of sour and spicy taste.
That day, they have a special offer called 'Sunday Roast' where you can choose between beef and chicken as main. I took the rib-eye steak, medium rare, as I always wanted, and it came few minutes after ordering that took me by surprise.
It's a pound of rib-eye steak served with steamed brocolli and cauliflower, a mix of roasted yam, potatoes and sweet potatoes and a sweet choux pastry and scooped with brown sauce on top.
I was sated with the meal and though the race was over, I still took time to savor the moment while here.
At the distance you will hear the horns of sea vessels passing by, complemented by the sound of the waves. This time they're playing alternative rock and pop songs randomly which makes me feel more at ease.
I haven't left the place when I wrote this, yet, I'm already thinking of when to come back.
Perhaps a good company of friends will make the visit worthwhile.
