b4 heading to U.D.D.E.R.S for a taste of some sinful hot chocolate.
Met up with CG to fill our hungry tummies at Novena Square. Note: b4 this i was wandering around amazed at how fantastic NS n Square 2 is. Theyve got Cedele, Donut factory, Buttercup and Little Jerry's Cookies. Lucky thing i restrained myself from buyin them.
Since i dont really eat rice, I decided to have the Chicken and Fish Katsu Udon with soup n a Sprite. CG had the stewed pork set and we shared the Cheesy Crab Croquettes.
The crap croquettes were not bad. Cheese was oozin out with each bite though i didnt really taste much cheese.
Didnt try CG's dish but i liked my udon. I grew up with curry, fish, chicken, mutton but the indian kind so tasting this Curry whichwas thick n abit on the sweet side was a different experience and i must admit, i liked it. I did however love the chicken n fish. Not too oily and the chicken wasnt super hard nor was the fish too fishy or unfresh. We didnt have desserts since we were goin to U.D.D.E.R.S.
Service was good. They accidently mixed up my order but was immediately rectified.
One other thing i appreciated is that they seperated the chicken and fish from my Udon, Thus preserving their crispyness as they were fried. Now that I must applaud
Since its a monday, the cheaper dish is at half price.
After having a hard time choosing a site for dinner, My colleague and I ended up at Coffee Club.
I was hankering for something with salmon and quickly decided on the smoked almon sandwich. We also ordered the new duck confit salad to share and a chocolate cake(forgot the name) to share.
The food came quite quickly. Around 10 minutes. I enjoyed the duck confit salad. The balsamic vinegar helped to ease the saltish taste of the duck.
Smoked salmon was good too. 4 thin slices of fresh salmon on a walnut sesame bun and tarragon sauce. It was refreshing, delicious and quite filling.
Finally the cake. Upon the first taste i was floating in heaven. It was one of the cakes chosen from the counter and I followed the recommendation of the waiter. Good choice. It had a good balance of mousse and sponge cake and at the bottom, there was my favourite hazlenut crunch. Both me n my collegue(chocolate lovers) were impressed and satisfied especially my colleague who himself had a whole glass of iced chocolate.
Service was good, attentive staff and friendly, ever ready to give recommendations and take special requests for food orders.
Met up with a fren n his girl for dinner n ended up being the onli 1 who ate..
Was first wanted to eat the Calamari n Chips but went with the Chicken Cordon Bleu as
a) The ham they used was Turkey Ham
b) CHEESE!
When it came it was already cut in half and i could see the cheese ooozing out and calling out to me. I dove it and attacked the juicy chicken thigh saving the cheese for last. Cant say it wow-ed me but i was impressed by the generous amount of cheese used. The fries they came with they crispy n soft inside. Still hot after i finished the chicken. Brown sauce that was on top of the chicken tastes like the mashed potato sauce. Filling meal but nothing to shout about.
Service was good. Think the manager was serving so she was zipping around taking orders and sending the food. I was impressed at how efficient she was and very accomodating. She even recommended me a few dessert options but i was too full so didnt try any.
Its located ryt next to Borders so its a bit on the noisy side(esp since singtel is ryt opposite. But i like that they have magazines on hand and the mags are the recent ones not from months ago)
Next time im trying the Dome.
I will return for the calamari n chips n even the cordon bleu as its hard to find one that doesnt use ham
After driving around from AMK to Town, my bf n i ended up @ this establishment(since iv never actualli been to the Big Splash).
The menu looked intresting and I was already famished so we tot we'd give the place a shot.
After much deliberation we ordered items that could probably feed a party of 3.
Calamari Fritti - $9.90
Pan Seared Barramundi with Truffle Sauce - 23.90
Sausage with roesti - $16.90
Cheese Fries - $5.90
Bread Roll with butter - $1.90
2 Pepsi - $3.50(each)
the Bread and Calamari came within ten minutes and were pretty good.
Calamari was not the typical body of the calamari but the tentacle like thingy. Not rubbery even after it became slightly cold after a while. THe batter was light and not too jerlak.
My fish came soon after and I was a bit hesitant to dig in at first as i smelt a slight hint of fishyness so was worried the taste myt bee too much. Attacked the asparagus first and fell in love with the sauce. Asparagus was crunchy n yet cooked just nice. Juicy too and went well with the sauce. Finally tried the fish and was pleasantly surprised that it didnt taste the slightest bit too fishy. In fact it was nicely cooked, flaky and i even ate it without the aid of chilli sauce.
Bfs Chicken Black Pepper Sausage was not bad too. It was just like how fatpig described it. I found the variety of sausages available quite impressive though. The roesti was a tad bland tho. But still ok...
Service was alrite. Was abit put off by the behavior or some of the staff who were huddled together n guys being guys, checking out people walking by and joking around. Was mainly served by one particular staff who I was impressed with. Was attentive and polite. Another staff also scored points when he constantli refilled my bfs water n checked on us after a while asking how we found the food.
Overall liked what I had. Maybe if i have the car or something I might(i repeat) might return. But there are still other restaurants @ EC that I have yet to try.
Citibank cardmembers get a 10% discount and i didnt notice a 7%gst charge.
Met up with CG for a dinner date and since she wanted soup n me Yaki Udon, we decided upon dining at this establishment i never noticed @ Suntec(yes im slow).
I got the Yaki Udon, CG had the Char Siew Ramen(Spicy Level 2) and we ordered Grilled Chicken and Salmon Cheeze Fry as sides. I had Sprite n CG had Green Tea.
Food came quite fast. I was happy they managed to change the Seafood in the dish to chicken and it tasted quite good. Udon was springy and the Spicyness level was ok. added the chilli powder to make it slightly more spicy. I liked the grilled chicken which was cooked just nice. Not too hard and chewy. The Salmon Cheese fry reminds me of the Salmon frm Yoshinoya, but i liked it anyway.
Service was ok. Our request to change tables was followed through and my request to change The seafood in my dish to chicken was allowed. Green Tea was topped up when they noticed CG's drink was finished.
the total bill only came up to 29 which i did not expect as we ordered drinks and sides so i was pleasantly surprised.
Went for the ieatishootipost makan session at Swa Garden and sampled the best that Swa Gardens had to offer.
The Cold Crab was good, as far as cold crab standards, I personally don't think there's much of a difference between the restaurants I've tried...
Braised goose was good tastewise, but it was too dry for my liking.
Oyster Omelette was very good, with copious amounts of fresh oysters hidden inside a thin golden yellow omelette. The oysters were very fresh, and not sandy/grainy at all.
The restaurant recommended the Stir Fried Crayfish. I didn't like this dish because the whole thing was just covered in sauce and the crayfish would be unidentifiable if no one told me what it was.
We also had the Chye Poh Kway Teow, which, on any other occasion I would have liked, but the dishes came too slowly and I was feeling very full by the time it arrived.
Ohr nee was smooth and not too dry, and came with lots of pumpkin and ginko nuts. It was not too sugary despite having a layer of syrup and vegetable oil on top.
Other dishes tried were the steamed pomfret, stir fried sweet potato leaves, ngo hiang, mayonnaise prawn.
Cost: $32 per person. Not bad considering that we had a variety of dishes and a good size portion each.
*doesn't understand why no one has reviewed Sentosa*
I love the beaches at Sentosa, haha, mostly because there're no other beaches for me to love in SIngapore.
Great place to laze around for the afternoon. The not-so-recently-but-still-pretty-"recently" added restaurants and cafes are also good for after-tanning yakking and more lazing around. :)
I don't really go as often as I'd like cos of the stupid $3 entrance fee, but I guess they have to find some way to make up for their ginormous loss while building the monorail.
No comments about the other many tourist traps, I mean attractions at Sentosa. They don't float my boat.
An Australian-Asian fusion cafe. We felt the design and furnishing looks more like those small family restaurant.
We were greeted warmly by the service crew at the entrance and guided to a table. Although its "crampy" but very clean and tidy. The crew proceeded to explain that orders are to be taken and paid at the cashier. Nets acceptable.
Sets inclusive of a main course, soup, dessert and a drink at $14.90 which we loved as its valued for money on the face value.
Soup: Bit blend for taste and had to add pepper.
Main course: Ordered black peppered sirloin ($11.90), Chicken chop (part of set meal). Sirloin was fine though its taste was covered by the sauce which was too spicy for me. Rice that came with the main course was too dry though it still taste quite nice. Chicken chop was fine and tender but the sauce was too blend. At least for the person who ate it.
Dessert: I ordered "Crazy Sue" ($4.50) which was a chocolate and orange flavor cake. Nice blend of both flavors and not too sweet so even when I am full I still can finish the cake. Chocolate walnut that came with the set was also recommended. Commendable, although its a set meal at a low price, the quality and quantity of food wasn't compromised.
Garlic bread: A bit above average though I still prefer the one at "Spaghetti Too" reason being the cheese was not chewy enough and bread not that crispy though its already better than a lot of others I've tried.
On the whole, the taste of food weren't too great. Above average I would say and definitely valued for money. The quality of customer service was also there and highly satisfactory.
I, a fan of desserts and Yami Yoghurt, was more than excited when we walked past Yoguru. The prices are all in Feizhu's review and they seem right. So you can refer to that.
I was a teeny bit sad when there were only two flavours to choose from. But the lady at the counter mentioned that Original flavour was a little sweeter whereas the YoguBliss one was more sourish so I picked Original.
There were about 14 toppings to choose from and I took some time with that. So maybe the lack of flavours is a blessing in disguise.I picked out Oreo Crumbs and Cornflakes for $1.80. I think that it was a nice combination in terms of taste as it adds texture to the yoghurt.
But it was quite messy to eat as the cup overflowed. If you pick one topping it was ok, but two toppings was a little too much and you would risk having it all over yourself when you were done.
I'd have to agree that Yoguru is sweeter and softer than Yami (although I don't find Yami TOO sourish) and I like how Yoguru is fatfree too. But it really is quite expensive. A regular cup of Yami one topping is $3.75. But I paid $5.10 for my yoguru with two toppings. Note that the price diff between one topping and two isn't very much.
I would give it 3 and a half stars really... take away half for being more expensive for a slightly smaller serving.

IMM is a great and wonderful place to shop and eat, IF (a big if) you can 1) Get there without private transport. 2) Actually get a parking lot.
I drove there today at around 6:40 pm, and after going round and round the carpark for more than 20 minutes, I was forced to go somewhere else to eat.
Other than this, I love the variety of food in there, and the layout of the shopping center.
Hope they improve the parking situation soon!
