Since I was craving for some sweet dessert,
Lisa @callecat told me that BBW have this Apple Pie
with Vanilla Ice Cream resting on top of the pie from their menu
along with their usual alcohol products.
It was that certain dessert that made
BBW as the 2nd stop of my Bar trail.
But as we were walking along the street
where BBW was supposed to be located,
we ended up passing through
the whole street with no trace of the Bar.
We double checked the address, and we actually found
another bar that was standing on where
Big Bad Wolf was previously situated.
The Ground Cafe & Bar took over The Big Bad Wolf.
------------------------------------------------------
We took a quick look at the shop, and we were
captivated by the coziness that their place brought
from the outside of their entrance.
So we decided to give it a go
since we didn't want to waste the travel time
that we took just to get to this area at the same time.
The Ground Cafe & Bar brings this relaxing and casual vibe simply with their lighting inside the store and the signage right at their doorstep. Though they used wood instead of the traditional diner stainless steel for their fixtures and furniture, all they needed was a counter area with bar stools surrounding the main ordering booth to actually make it a Modern Diner that specializes with beers and other alcoholic beverages in contrast to the usual American Diner with sandwiches and milkshakes menu.
The place easily attracts customers that are looking for a place
to have a good talk and spend some time unwinding and
and for those who needs some escape off from the busy world.
La Trappe Quadrupel, alc. vol. 10%;Netherlands
Drunk Man's Remarks: La Trappe Quadrupel is a coffee and caramel flavoured beer with supposedly a scent of Vanilla. The Vanilla scent was almost as vague as the coffee taste in the beer with only the caramel being present as an aftertaste.
Straight up!: It was actually just like a regular beer with a hint of sweetness with a very strong beer scent.
De Molen Hel & Verdomenis, alc. vol. 12%;Netherlands
Drunk Man's Remarks: De Molen Hel & Verdomenis is a stout beer with bitter and powerful doses of chocolate, coffee, berries & licorice. The chocolate and licorice smell was just lingering all over the tip of the drinking glass.
The taste was exactly what it was made with, but the bitterness just overpowered the other flavors since I was expecting it to be much more on the sweeter side.
Straight up!:Though I was looking more of the chocolate flavor from this beer, the overall taste and quality was just right to justify its very expensive price of 24SGD. It was more on the pleasure of drinking something that was carefully brought together as a drink, and the chocolate and licorice smell was just fantastic every time you take a gulp.
Rekorderlig Strawberry Lime Cider, alc. vol. 4.5%
*A Lisa favorite*
Drunk Man's Remarks: It is almost like a Shirley Temple with Lime Cordial, but as a bottled Cider.
Straight up!: The color is as vibrant as its flavor. A person could probably go drink up to 4 bottles until the alcohol kicks in. Definitely a ladies' drink.
------------------------------------------------------
To go along with our drinks, we ordered a snack and a dessert from their very classy menu that offers items from nachos, pastas, sandwiches and pizzas.
The Chicken Cheese Meatball should be served with a warning sign, as these deadly balls are actually volcano cheese bursts waiting to happen. I luckily wasn't victimized by the cheese explosion, but Lisa sadly, was not an exception. As a substitute for my supposedly apple pie with ice cream, we ordered Affogato al Cafe, a Vanilla Ice cream with a shot of espresso and cinnamon, that just helped us to be pulled back to reality every time the alcohol from our drinks tried to take over. Thanks to the espresso that was bathing the ice cream inside the bowl.
