It was my first time dining at Brussels Sprouts after hearing my boss and friends rave about this place. I was looking for a place to celebrate a dear friend's birthday, and thought that it would be nice to do it there, mainly because KIDS EAT FOR FREE during the weekends with any order of selected mains! Now, that's really a pull factor because we've got 3 kids in our group. Plus, there're good reviews about their speciality mussels & clams (with free-flow french fries, OMG!!).
We went to the outlet at Playground@Splash at East Coast Park, and I like it that it's alfresco-style with good ventilation and high ceilings with wooden beams & clear windows. The place reminded me so much of laid-back Australia! On a Sunday afternoon, it was really nice to be able to have lunch with good friends in a quiet place. :)
Kristie, the birthday girl in red! :)
We ordered chicken wings to share, and they were so crispy, light & yummy! =D Definitely a must-order.
You can get a free kids' meal with every main ordered, so we ordered pasta and sausage+fries for my kids. The meals come with free flow drinks & a scoop of ice-cream as well. Portions are considered very small as compared to other restaurants though. They go at $9 each on the menu (Quite expensive eh? Thankfully we got ours for free!)
Ordered a pot of mussels to share! They were SO GOOD! Coming from someone who doesn't appreciate mussels, you have to take my word for it! The good thing is that you can choose from 20 different flavours! Click on this to see the full list of flavours available. We opted for Brussels Sprout Special (onion, parsley, butter, celery, black pepper). Love the sauce. And doesn't it look especially appetizing served up in a pot like this? :) [S$40 for 750gram pot]
Hubby ordered beef stew pasta, and it was really yummy. The beef was so soft and tender, and I love that it was super well marinated. Definitely a comfort dish, but a tad expensive I feel. Their pastas go at S$25 each on the average.
Halfway through our meals, a balloon guy came over to our table and offered to make balloon art for the kids. He was not dressed in special costumes, so it took me a few seconds to realise that he was a balloon artist engaged by Brussels Sprouts to entertain the kids. Thoughtful service. :)
The ice-cream served at the end of the meal for the kids were good quality ones, a little to my surprise. Usually the ice-cream that comes with kids' meals are not gelato standard, but these were.
The only complaint I have is they serve only soft drinks for kids' meals. It would be so much better if they offered fruit juices. Even if it was free flow, one cup of carbonated water was considered too much for the kids! =X
