Widest Selection of Craft Beer in Geylang

6/15/2016

One wouldn't expect to find Craft Beer in Geylang, but lo and behold, it IS here. And it is here in a big way! The Tuckshop has the widest selection of Craft Beers here in Geylang, and at last count, there were more than thirty labels. Not forgetting Ciders and alcoholic teas.

What's even more awesome? 

They have their own beer named after them, which is only available at The Tuckshop. The beer is really awesome - light, refreshing and keeps its bubbles really well. Even after an hour, it didn't taste flat, which is surprising. It's going for $14 for 500ml except during 5-7pm. their happy hour. During happy hour, it's $11 for ANY draught beer.

What i really like about The Tuckshop is how they are very concerned with social issues in Singapore and in the region. "Soles for Souls" is a collaboration with local social enterprise Soules, to buy school shoes for disadvantaged children in Singapore and in China.

In fact, The Tuckshop is such a firm believer in empowering the community in Singapore, that The Recess, a eclectic co-working space, event space for local artists, a party space, space for ROM, space for a seminar or meeting, space for any imaginable purpose was born.

​With plenty of double powerpoints all over, it transforms into whatever your imagination fancies.

Local artists, authors and firms use The Recess as an event space regularly for art events, launches, seminars, art jams, poetry slams, comedy nights and parties.

The Tuckshop Food Review

Hover over the photos to read the comments - can you guess my favourite dish?

The whole meal of 3 main courses and 1 latte came up to $65.27. There is no service charge, just GST. I also loved the fact that they had huge containers of water for customers to get their own water from - drink as much as you like! It's responsible of them, especially when they are serving alcohol.

So where is The Tuckshop and The Recess? Depending on where you are standing, you could be either at Geylang or at Guillemard Road! 

Check out the parking options - there are 300 lots just across the road at HDB parking rates. If you are heading over via MRT, Dakota MRT station is just a 5 minute walk.

Best Salted Caramel Lava Cake in Singapore

Baked Fresh upon your order at Offshore Club (YES! I came back again, for the third time....the food is great, the service is wonderful, and Leona constantly surprises with new food on the menu!) This salted caramel lava cake is so delicious and eggy that I couldn't get enough! Warm and buttery, served with a fabulous french vanilla ice cream, the pairing is perfect and the secret ingredient added by the Chef takes the cake literally! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this, and I'm so glad that Offshore Club in Loyang is putting this on their menu!
Picture
I really like their steak! Juicy and marinated overnight, I ate up everything except the dish. Yes, including the thick fat, telling myself that it's collagen.
Picture
I had to get another angle so you can see how thick it is!
Picture
My medium rare steak, done the way I like it! I also loved the potato salad, which has apple in it too! Makes me feel healthy and loved.
Despite showing dessert first, I had a memorable main course of medium rare steak with garden vegetables that was nicely blanched with a serving of the chef's potato and apple salad. Perfect!
The Salad Buffet is my favourite as it is included in the main course. Before you get your perfectly done main course, you get to go and have as much salad as you like, included with any main course order.

The choice of three dressings change daily, and on the day I went down, there was honey mustard (FAV!), Italian and thousand island. Fruit like mandarin oranges, peaches and lychees make it a stellar salad bar.

I can't get enough of it, the taste lingers in your mouth and this has to be the best salted caramel lava cake in Singapore!
It's un-un-un-unbelievable, but I still had room for Coffee! With the FREE WIFI at the Offshore Club in Loyang, I was bunkering down to do serious work that day, and the Wifi speed was fast enough for my massive uploads of videos!

That's Leona behind the bar! She makes the most seriously delicious alcocoffee I have ever tasted, and also the strongest, with 42.3% Galliano Liqueur. One entire pack, enough for anyone to get happy in the middle of the day! Their spanking new coffee machine makes seriously good coffee even without the alcohol.

Club Vivaa - Home cooked food NO MSG

Favourite Food at 
Club Vivaa

Picture
The curry chicken features super tender chicken wings in a mild curry with a tinge of laksa leaves for that extra kick. The gravy is so tasty that I drank it all up after eating up the chicken. Did I mention that it comes with a super soft baguette that is toasted to perfection, where it is warm and crisp and yet still soft and easy to bite / break off.
Picture
This is my favourite, and I absolutely love the bacon wrapped deep fried noodles. The Japanese Lok Lok is drizzled with a sweet japanese teriyaki sauce, and this adds to the flavor of the bacon wrapped items. You can choose which items are preferred, from enoki mushrooms, tomatoes to crispy noodles and vegetables. This is so tasty that you completely forget you are munching on bacon!
Picture
I'm a big fan of food, and if the chef / cook doesn't use MSG ( Mono sodium glutamate ), all the better, as I get rashes after too much intake of MSG. This is the reason why I was pleasantly surprised when I visited Club Vivaa. Though it is a bistrobar, or what people call a pub with food, the standard of cooking and range of dishes is pretty good.
Picture
Salt, Pepper and Garlic Tofu which is crisp on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. Lovely with the homemade sambal chili.
Picture
















This is really awesome Sambal Fried Rice! My friend who at first didn't want to order as she wasn't hungry yet ate this up in just 10mins! It was that yummy! Not only was the taste amazing, the smell was awesome too!
