Overtime is nestled within town in Dempsey Hill along with a cluster of pubs, bars ,restaurants and niche furniture outlets. If you happen to have a extreme craving for beer , you will be mesmerized by the stella quality of the beer they offer - of which is what they've been so famous for.

Overtime is one of the select few F&B outlets in Singapore which serves the renowed and much talked about Starker beer. This award winning beer is a Double Gold Medal Winner in the Asia Beer Awards 2010 in the “Wheat” and “Pilsner” category. The mugs of beer are serve directly from the barrel served in a chilled cup, the serview crew are not only friendly but also replaces your cups every now and then to ensure that your starker beer is always chilled. a drinking experience that i've not yet seen in any other pubs.

The Starker Aromatic beer has a rich golden yellow appearance, not only so it's light and has a clean, light and citrus after taste.

This beer is definitely suitable for new or light beer drinkers( and my mom is a testiment to that!) Not only is the beer smooth but also really refreshing which is unlike any of the other types of beer i've tasted.

Apart from quality beer, they seve a delightful array of local and western crusine thou i'd prefer the local dishes which includes satay and even a new but yet famillar dish to many of us- mee tai bak fried in char kway teow style! (MUST TRY!)

The dish offers a twist to what many of us are famillar with. Instead of kway teow, the mee tai bak offers a springy and interesting twist!

Personally i've always been a fan of char kway teow but it's terribly hard to find a store who is competent enough to deal with the level of sweetness and it's at a pub in dempsy that i've found the ideal char-mee tai bak!

(in a different form, yes but nontheless AWESOME)

and did i mentioned that they were all extremely affordable?

you know what, let's let the pictures do the talking! :D

CHOCOLATE RESEARCH FACILITY REVIEW

On the 17th March 2010 at around 1pm at Raffles City Shopping Center, a friend a i decided pay the new outlet a visit to not only view the extensive amount of flavours CRF caters but also to redeem our prize for the contest for a free bar of chocolate.

It was then when i specially made my way over that i was informed by one of their staff that i had to have the e-mail printed. The issue here isn't just about the inconvenience of having to print the e-mail out but the attitude your service crew gave. Upon setting sight on my iphone she snapped at me saying that i had to print the e-mail out.

instead of having to snap at us the consumers it would be advisable to re-phase the sentence by adding in key words such as please and thank you. Also that if it was possible for such redemption to be made without printouts as the issue of global warming has been on the rise and it about time we did our part for mother earth.

I have written in a e-mail regarding this and they've yet to send a reply back which yet again proves their level of efficency and competency.

Chocolate Research Facility is a relatively young Company and has made consistent and ongoing efforts to reach out to the community. However, I think to make their good will seem more sincere, the company should look into these small things that affect the consumers.

I've tried their chocolates and i have to say that it's definately refreshing and a new added twist to the foodie paradies we call singapore however $8 is truly a high price to pay for a small bar of chocolate.

After being rather disappointed with the service i've received at CRF, i walked passed awfullychocolate and despite having just walked pass. the service crew made their greetings and asked if we were interested in the products they had, coupled with a warm and friendly smile. This i believe should be the image CRF should have portrayed when i made my visit.
