Chill-laxing @ Alibabar the Hawker Bar
Why not chill-out at Alibabar which is conveniently located opposite the mall? Alibabar is a "multi-purpose" premise which appears to be like a Kopitiam (Coffee Shop) by day and a Hawker Bar by night.
On one hand, we have been reading articles discussing about how hawker food is dying out in Singapore. The function of Alibabar seems to preserve our hawker food heritage whilst injecting the possibility of operating as a bar at the same time. This is like a novel idea of combining modern and traditional culture to cater to the demands of the younger and older generations.

Alibabar - Le' Bar
We were approached by the staff from the bar who presented us with chunky pieces of their drinks menu. We must admit that they do offer a huge selection of beer and alcohol but as non-drinkers, we ordered a glass of AnW Root Beer Float to share :)
Root Beer Float (S$3.40)
Le Petit Paradis
What caught our attention was this little stall located at the corner serving affordable french cuisine - Le Petit Paradis.
This stall seems to be receiving a lot of attention from the mass media as we can see articles published by the press were being framed up and placed at a prominent corner of the stall.
Le' Menu
Eggs Benedict (SGD9.00)
Poached Eggs, Tomato Confit, Bacon on Toast Topped with Hollandaise Sauce and Served with Mesclun Salad.
The Eggs Benedict tasted pretty OK but I personally prefer the ones served by Hatched.
Duck Leg Confit (SGD14.50)
Served with Mashed potato, Mesclun Salad and Brown Jus.
We enjoyed this dish lots and we prefer this over the one served by Saveur.
Overall
This is indeed a pleasant place worth visiting and we would definitely pop by this place again if we happen to be around :)
