Due to overwhelming requests for food recommendations, the team at EB has put together a selection of our most popular main courses into a value for money set dinner so that you, our valued customers can enjoy the best we have to offer while saving some $$ at the same time! Do check out our newest offering that will be official launched this Monday, 21st January, and available Sundays to Thursdays, from 6pm to 1030pm.

PS. To save even more money, you can always make use of the arrangement we have with Purple Valet Services to enjoy FREE parking at the Holland Village Carpark!

Yes, we all know it’s terrible finding parking at Holland Village with the closure of a couple of carparks for the MRT Circle Line construction. But that hasn’t stopped us from heading down to ‘Singapore’s little Bohemia’ and that hasn’t stopped many of our wonderful guests from supporting us either!

Well, since you guys have shown us all the unfailing support since 2004, here’s a little treat we’re throwing in to take out the hassle of parking (or should I say waiting half-an-hour just to get a parking lot) when you visit us!

So, we’ve made a special arrangement with Purple Valet Services at the main Holland Village carpark! Now, not only do we solve your parking problem, we’ve got some nice guys to provide a hassle-free Valet Parking service just for you. No need to fear the aunties (or uncles) with umbrellas and nifty little gadgets who add little strips of paper to your windscreens yeah!

Ok, what do I have to do to enjoy
FREE Valet Parking Services? (Usual price: $8/car!) Just follow these simple steps:

1) Pass your car to the guys from Purple Valet Services at the main Holland Village carpark and collect a valet coupon. Congrats, you’ve just saved 30mins of waiting time.

2) Head to Essential Brew to chill out or grab a meal.

3) Order at least 4 set lunches or 4 main courses or spend at least $50 in your bill and keep the receipt.

4) Pass your valet coupon and Essential Brew receipt to the valet to retrieve your car. Congrats, you’ve just saved $8 valet parking fees!

So we thought we’d offer SMS Vouchers for all friends of Essential Brew! But if you thought this is just going to be the regular: ‘Today’s special, try our Seared Jaz Prawns!

If anyone would like to offer us a golden number (which we found Singaporeans are so extremely fond of in cars number plates and auspicious dates), drop us an sms or email!

But in the meantime, just drop us a subscription message, tell your friends about it and come by our place to chill with your pals yeah!

Last year, we ran our Finger Food Combo promotion and found it was quite popular… So since we’ve received numerous requests and even on our tagboard recently to make an offer for students, we decided to bring this back!

Hey, did you realize something? The picture shows a basket of Fried Chicken Wings, Smiley Fries and Calamari Rings…
but how come there’s no Smiley Fries offered as part of the combo set?!

Oh no! Yes, we know those cute little guys really put a smiley on some of your faces but where have they gone?

Well, seems like there seems to be a shortage or (outage for that matter) of the Smiley Fries in Singapore at the moment! Oh NoOooOoo! Ok, dun fret! We’re trying to get them back as soon as we can yeah… will keep you guys posted…

Speaking of which, I recall some time a year back just before we started serving the Smileys… Our chef prepared a basket of them and told one of our cooks:
“Ok, now we’ll be serving these Smiley Fries on our menu. I want you to slice the potatoes into round discs 1cm thick and use a drink straw to make 2 circles for the eyes and a knife to cut out the mouth. Understand?”

“Wah, really? Ok I’ll try…” replied the cook

…while the rest of us tried to keep a straight face without laughing!

Oh, you didn’t actually think that was how we made it, did you? Well, if the stocks don’t come in soon, we might actually have to! Just that they’ll probably come in all shapes, sizes and looks… =) ;~) :~| =/ :} ;\ haha, ok enough already… hope that put a smile on your face!

Remember to check out our Students’ Special Finger Food Combo…
offering 1-for-1 drinks and Free WiFi Access!

Yes, we’re offering a 20% off our Plateau Serenade ice cream bombe so everyone can come and enjoy it before it runs out around June 2007… eek!

Plateau Serenade ~ Ingenious mix of Hazelnut & Macadamia ice cream made into an ice cream bombe with an added nutty crunch and a hidden surprise!

Yes, we know the Plateau Serenade is an all-time favorite and we’ve asked New Zealand Naturals not to stop shipping the Hazelnut Crunch ice cream!

However, it seems that demand for the Hazelnut Crunch is considered low around Asia as compared to other more mainstream flavors like Chocolate Ecstasy or Strawberry Surprise perhaps. Hence, it gets struck off… =(

We’ve even made a request to bring in the ice cream specially by commiting to order a certain number of boxes per year since so many friends of EB love the flavor and this dessert!

Well, we can only hope for the best and if you’d like to support the Hazelnut Crunch flavor, drop us a comment!

…but in the meantime, let’s indulge! mMmmMmmm…

The season of love is upcoming and we’ve been preparing for it since last year.

Our chefs and I have been working at coming up with something unique and no less delicious for this Valentine’s and you can have a look at our special 5-course set for $79.90++ per couple.

We usually feature only images of the mains on the promo page, so that wouldn’t do justice to the dessert just getting a text label. Hence, as this post is aptly titled, we’re gonna show you the sweetest part of the meal to round up an evening with your loved one! (the evening at our restaurant that is, we’re sure some die-hard romantics out there would adjourn to the seaside or kent ridge park just nearby…)

Anyway, here’s something to feast your eyes on…

…and your taste buds if you pop by on 14th Feb!
This was an informal shot taken during the dessert trial session… minutes before being gobbled up by our poor guinea pigs rounded up from the EB family… ah, the chores of working here… haha! =)

Hazelnut Mousse Cake with Berryfruit Sorbet

It’s a delectably smooth chocolate hazelnut mousse topped with a velvety layer of chocolate ganache, accompanied by a tulip-shaped dollop of tangy Berryfruit sorbet ice cream

Drool-worthy? You decide… (drop us a comment yeah)

Interestingly, our new supervisor asked me if I’ve had professional training from Shatec. Well, everyone who knows me probably would’ve heard this; the answer’s always the same: “I’ve been cooking and baking this I was this height!” (putting my hand flat out at a level just below the table-top)

Ok, back to preparing for the big day!
