Headed down to VivoCity to catch Harry Potter just now. Reminiscing those days when I was still at Sentosa and how my former colleagues and I used to hang around at VivoCity during our lunch times. We would always use “couldn’t manage to catch the staff bus” as an excuse to have our lunch hour extended by 30 mins. HAHA! Those were the days…and I met my FALALALA! haha miss her and all the marketing babes at Sentosa!

Before the flick, Mr. GVM and I tried out something new for dinner…

Barcelos

Not surprising, if you haven’t heard of it. It’s tucked at a quieter part of VivoCity, next to Long John Silver’s and opposite Ben and Jerry’s. I have wanted to go there with my former colleagues but we were always held back by the price on the board. It’s not that expensive though, just that it is not within our budget when it comes to lunching. Haha.

Check out this popular Pine(apple) and Cheese Burger meal (around $15 inclusive of free flow soft drink)

Another popular meal recommended by the staff was the sweet chilli burger meal

Are you like salivating already? LOL!

The burgers are huge! Comparable to those of Carl’s Junior. I’ll say that it’s an alternative to the latter in terms of the choice of patty. Carl’s junior caters more for people who eat beef, while Barcelos serves mainly chicken! They also have their special sauces ranging from Tangy Lemon to Supa Peri (MEANS EXTREMELY HOT AND SPICY CHILLI)! Oh, for the patty, you could also opt to double it, which means higher pile! haha.

Personally, I think that my cheese burger is a tad too salty. The fries are nice ‘cause I love fries. The chicken could be abit more tender. The buns are well grilled. It tasted pretty well if you eat the pineapple slice, buns, chicken and tomatoes in one bite. The servings are definitely filling for the guys. Remember you can opt for free flow of soft drink to go with (costs only about $2+).

Not only burgers, they also serve other dishes such as whole chicken, chicken wings, chicken wraps, chicken pasta and many many more!

Check out their website…You can also find them at Holland Village. Add them to your list of can-try dining outlets then!
