[Food Tasting] Blisshouse Theme Restaurant at The Central, Clarke Quay




Blisshouse Theme Restaurant (named after a legendary love story) opened its business early this year, with its whimsical, fairy-tale-like interior design and a spectacular indoor garden; a beautiful Garden of Eden. The place can hold private events or celebrations like birthdays, ROM, wedding proposals, wedding solemnization and pre-wedding photoshoots.

Just drop them an email or call them up on your request and they will try their best to cater to how you want your dream celebrations to be! There can also be a buffet-style setup if you wish. =)

At the entrance, there's the flora gate, the swing, the fountain of Bliss and a link bridge to the secret garden;

 Every little details is arranged nicely to make the place as lovely as possible...
Super adorable and lovely decor;
Saw this super pretty Bliss Carriage; 
i am sure everyone who came here will wanna take a picture with it!

A tray full of party masks to play with;

There are even wedding dresses and matching accessories for diners, feel free to try on any of these!
A private room that caters up to 12 seaters;
For those seeking a more romantic ambience, Bliss Gazebo is the right spot!
A private corner with the nicest window view. I love this concept a lot, so pretty at night!

Alright now, here's the food that everyone has been waiting for!~

The MENU;
Blisshouse recently revamped its menu, and were told that the price range will marked down which means more young people are able to enjoy great meals in such a beautiful wonderland without worrying much on their food bills! =D

BLISS Drinks:
There are 3 types (SGD 12 each) - (1) Oreo Bless; (2) Yogurt Perfume; (3) Vanilla Happiness

I had the Bliss Amaretto Oreo Bless - Ice blended with Oreo sweetness and ends with almond-flavoured, Italian liqueur. Interesting taste indeed!
(I wanna go for their Bliss Espresso Oreo Bless next time!! *Always a coffee lover*)
For him, Bliss Yogurt Perfume - Lasting sweet refreshing smoothie with mild yoghurt taste. 
For a healthier choice, go for their added fruity Bliss Yogurt Perfume like the banana, strawberry, passionfruit and mango!
We didn't try the Vanilla Happiness, which I believe is a similar blend with vanilla as the main. My mum will love it for she's a big vanilla lover!

There are also soft drinks, juices (bottled or fresh blend), coffee, tea and hot chocolates available on the menu. ( I suggest to go for the juices instead of soft drinks because both prices are about the same)

Other drinks on the menu include MARTINIs; MOJITOs; MARGARITAs; DAIQUIRIs; COCKTAILS; BEERs and WHISKYs; COGNAC; LIQUERs (Balley/ Campari/ Kahlua); GINs; RUMs; TEQUILAs; VODKAs; and HOUSE WINES, that price ranges from SGD 7 - 20.

Starters (SGD 10 - 22):

We had the Quesadillas (Mexican Pancakes) as recommended at SGD12 - Oven-baked flour tortilla spread with aioli, coriander, cumin, chilli sauce, Spanish onion, roasted chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese. This is one of the dishes I think everyone must order, four pieces of light tortilla as a starter and tasted so heavenly to our tastebuds! The cheesy taste wasn't too strong, just lightly spread. If you like ham and cheese pancakes, you will definitely love this a lot!!!


Soups (SGD 6 - 10):

Wild Mushroom Soup at SGD 8 - Sauteed wild mushroom puree topped with truffle oil droplets served with crostini. Light base soup (It will be nicer if the base is thicker and creamier) and gets stronger after some time due to the truffle oil droplets. Their crispy thin-cut crostini is good!

Soup De Pesce (Seafood Soup) at SGD 10 - includes assorted clams, mussels, prawns, and squid simmered in tomato base soup with a slight touch of cream served with crostini. This is another Must-Order dish! I don't eat clams, mussels or squid but I love the sweet taste of this soup very much! We love its yummy rich flavours with everything in a bowl, we found fish meat inside as well. Highly recommended and value for money! 


PIZZAs
(SGD 15 - 22):

We ordered the Blisshouse Supremo at SGD22 - in-house tomato sauce with pork salami smoked chicken, olives, pineapple and roasted vegetables topped with a mixture of mozzarella & cheddar cheese and chilli.

The texture and size of the pizza crust were just right. However, probably due to the olives and the roasted vegetables, this pizza tastes a little bitter. There wasn't really a good mix in this dish. 

There are quite a few other interesting pizzas on the menu such as the Funghi Pizza ($16), Cheesy Fantasy Pizza ($17), Wasabi Pizza ($18) and the Seafood Pizza ($22) that you may wanna try out!


Pastas (SGD 18 - 25):

We picked the Pork Belly Confit with Latte Tagliatelle at SGD20 - Slow braised 230g pork belly in bacon, sage and cream till tender served on buttered Tagliatelle.
3 thick slices of pork belly on top of the buttered tagliatelle which has got rather hard pork skin but very tender tasty meat! The serving size of this dish was rather huge - a generous amount of buttered tagliatelle. I seriously love the taste and smoothness of this buttered tagliatelle, buttered yet doesn't feel too oily or too over. Well-cooked pasta!

Fish (SGD 19 - 38): 

We had the Tomato Pesto oven Baked Cod Fish as recommended at SGD38 - Oven-baked cod fish coated with sundried tomato pesto on the white mornay sauce, served with roasted potatoes, baby asparagus topped with light carrot and cucumber slaw. This is by far the most expensive dish we ordered that night and thankfully it didn't disappoint us. In fact, we love it! 

Tasty skin with delicious tender fresh white meat and a good mix with the light cream sauce at the bottom. Love the roasted potatoes as well, so appetising to munch on! Feels that the size of this dish is just right for one even though it seems small in the picture.

(Please pardon my poor flashlight shot)

Meats (SGD 19 - 32): 

Somersby Beef Short Rib Stew at SGD30 - Beef short ribs slow braised with Somersby Cider and veal jus surrounded by boiled carrots with truffle mashed potatoes. This is yet another heavy dish...
He said it was nice, but I find it a little bitter and the meat is rather hard to chew on. People who know how to eat this will find it a nice dish. Generous amount of mashed potatoes, I would probably finish up all the mashed potatoes if it wasn't soaked in the sauce.

Other dishes include Chicken Roulade, Breaded Stuffed Pork, Lamb Shank, Duck Confit and Rib-Eye Steak.

Desserts (SGD 8 - 12):

Bacon & Eggs Creme Brulee at SGD9 - Bacon-infused cream made into velvety custard slow-baked and topped with caramel crust. Nice presentation and sweet crispy caramel crust. As for the egg custard, we didn't really like the taste...

Tiramisu SGD 11 - Traditional Italian tiramisu with Kahlua liquor served with dark chocolate cocoa powder. This is a sweet treat to end the night, with a thin layer of tasty cocoa powder on top, and yummy creamy tiramisu that melts in the mouth right away! With the added Kahlua liquor, there's this awakening sensation after tasting it. Though it doesn't look as fanciful as the rest, we still love it!

Thank you Blisshouse Theme Restaurant Singapore for such a wonderful, lovely dining experience!
