I have already been to a couple of Sushi Tei outlets but I still like this outlet the most. The reason being that it consists of 2 storeys, with the upper storey more cosy & comfortable for casual dining as you will need to remove your shoes before sitting at the table. Furthermore, there's also more pfrivacy for bigger groups on the upper level as there's partitions separating the tables.
Coming to their food. For their rice & noodles, I find them quite normal, nothing very special. It is in fact their sushi & other side dishes which attract me so much.
Their sushi are very fresh and among all, my favourites include Golden roll and the umagi. The Golden roll is basically sushi rice wrapped around a big fried prawn and then topped up with mango slices. Sweet & a little sour taste from the mango plus the crispy,succulent prawn. Gd combination! As for the umagi, or I simply call it the eel omelette, I like the combination of the sweetness from the sweet omelette & that of the eel. I find it quite special.
They will also come up with various season promotion. Like for now, they have this Hokkaido promotion where they serve hairy crab. So if you are interested, you can look out for their various promotions at different times of the year.
On the overall, what makes my colleagues & I go back for so many times is not just the food but the service as well. We do not have to wait very long to be served & the waitresses are prompt in refilling our green tea. It's a great experience dining there!

Just for the mango pudding, my friend wanted to have our dinner here. Haha...funny, right? I'll kept the review of the mango pudding to the last part.
I shall start off with the steamboat. Just the 2 of us & so we picked the sichuan spicy soup and the herbal chicken soup. Interesting, the steamboat was served in individual small pots instead of the big steamboat pot one usually sees. The have both cooked and raw food. The cooked food includes local delights such as popiah and rojak as well as others like teppanyaki, roasted chicken, pork rib, sausages. As for the raw food, the spread was surprisingly little. Not alot of variety, it's mainly meat like fish (dory & seabass), pork slice, chicken & beef slice. Seafood wise there's only prawns & crabs. Vegetables not alot too. Others are the typical meatballs you'll find at other steamboat places.
Although the food variety was disappointing, I have to say that the soups were good, especially the herbal chicken soup. Very often, I could smell the soup as I walk pass Suntec Convention Centre. Haha...
The mango pudding was highly recommended by my friend and it turned out to be really good. Its texture, sweetness. Just perfect! They have small fruit tarts, fruits & even DIY ice kacang in the dessert section. I think I'm more into their dessert huh? Haha...
For the price of $25.80/pax, I think it would be more reasonable for them to serve better drinks than just ice water. But i suppose their location & good service (they were really quite at clearing our used plates!) are the reason why they are charging so much.

We were looking for a chinese restaurant in Plaza Singapura. Without many choices, we landed in this restaurant to settle our dinner.
After sitting down, we were served some flower tea and pickles. Later did we realised that the compulsory tea costed $3 while the small dish of pickles costed $2!
For their menu, they have set menus as well as ala carte menu. They even serve hi-tea buffet on weekends & PHs.
Anyway, we ordered 5 dishes which include 'Braised Ox Tendon with Bamboo Shoot and Chilli in Small Wok', 'quick-fried seasonal greens', 'Braised Seasonal Greens
with Fresh Mushrooms', 'drunken chicken' and 'Braised Chicken Balls with Chilli and Parsley'. Most of the dishes tasted pretty normal, not much of a 'wow'. The meal was not satisfying for most of us.
However, their service was good. Their waiters would constantly refill your tea for you & clear off the used plates & replace with new ones.
The bill came up to around $100 for 5 persons, where only 4 dishes were calculated into the bill. All thanks to the credit card promotion. Although the service is good, I think I'll go to other places for better chinese food.
So 2.5 stars for the place.

I was brought to Halia for a celebration. First to start with, it was a long walk from the entrance of botanical garden to the restaurant. But it's always gd to do some exercise before filling up your stomach withy food. Haha...
The restaurant is hidden in the Ginger Garden of Botanical Garden. There's both outdoor and indoor tables available. For a cool & rainy evening, it is ideal to take the outdoor seats (no worries! It's sheltered!) where you can enjoy the cool breeze and the greeneries.
Next come the food. We ordered the recommended crisp black pepper soft shell crab. It came with wasabi aioli but the wasabi taste was not too strong & went well with the crispy oft shell crab. Nice! We also ordered the soup of the day which was cream of aparagus & prawn. The cream was not too thick, just nice to warm up your stomach for the main course. For the main course, I ordered the Hokkaido scallop & prawn linguini (which turned out to be sphagetti) while my partner ordered roasted soy-glazed french duck breast & duck confit. The sphagetti came with a generous serving of fresh, huge scallops & prawns. But the sauce was a little too salty for me. The duck was ok (probably because I'm not a big fan of duck meat), quite tender though. You can even decide how well you want it to be cooked.
Next comes the dessert! We picked a truly sinful but nice one called 'warm bittersweet chocolate torte' which comes with melted hot chocolate in the middle, a scoop of vanilla ice cream & strawberries. It was heavenly! The combination of the bittersweet taste of the chocolate, milky vanilla ice cream & a little sour taste from the strawberries. Oh my god!
It's definitely a nice place to dine in, away from all the high-rise buildings in Singapore.

My friend had a sudden crave for the food here, so we decided to settle our dinner here.
She ordered the eel porridge while I just ordered a plate of xiao bai cai in oyster sauce since I wasn't feeling too hungry then. I had a mouthful of the eel porridge & it tasted quite nice. Sweet porridge. But my plate of vegetables wasn't nice. the xiao bai cai was not xiao (small) at all. Big stalks of the vegetables which were not cut. It made eating quite difficult and the oyster sauce was quite diluted too.
To compensate for the disappointment, we ordered the mango ice to share. It was good! Generous servings of mango on the top. It's definitely worth a try.

It is in fact my first time to do online shopping. Initially, I wasn't too keen in online shopping,especially for clothes as I prefer to try on the clothes to make sure that I can fit into them nicely. But lately, I was introduced to this blog store by my friend & realised that it is quite interesting.
The website provides pictures of models wearing the clothes on sale. Furthermore, they also provide useful information such as the length of clothes, bust diameter, sleeve length, arm hole, stretchability, etc. Very customer-friendly!
From the series, I've picked 2 pieces of clothes. However, only 1 of them was available and it took them quite a while (about 2 weeks) before I was informed. The delivery also took quite some time t arrive (near to 2 months).
On the overall, I like the clothes catalogue, which covers a wide range of clothes from casual wear to office wear. However, their customer service should be improved.

Decided to watch Golden Compass on a weekday in Gold Class to pamper ourselves for once. Haa....
Surprised to see that it is almost fully booked on a weekday afternoon. Hmm... Seem like a lot of ppl really dun mind spending money for comfort. Haa...
Once in, we are greeted by very polite servers. There is a lounge for us to relax while waiting for our movie to start. The menu is very impressive as well where we can order set meals to snacks to even beer or while while watching the movies. Haa...
Once we are urshered to our seats, we are greeted by big plush red sofa chairs, with a blanket on the sides. The seats are very comfortable and with a push on the side button, the seat will slowly move into a flat bed position. So you can adjust to whatever position that you are comfortable with.
There is a small table in between the seats where you can place your snacks or food. There is a button on the table where you can press for service.
As there is only like 24 seats in the cinema, the space is really big and no way the person in front can block you. The screen is a wide large screen that fills the length of the room.
Paying $25 per ticket ($30 for weekends), is consider a luxruy to me. However if the movie is 2.5 hrs or even longer, I think the money is worth spending. At times, they will have special promotion for with food tied in with the movie and I think that is much more worth it.
What a way to pamper a movie lover like myself. Hee.....

Went for my 1st Spa experience @ The Rainforest Spa. When 1st step in, the whole place gave a very calming and peaceful effect.
Since it is our 1st time there, the reception was patient to explain our package to us. Our package includes of
1. Outdoor Jacuzzi & Steam Bath
2. Body Scrub
3. Massage
So we changed before we started and the locker was well equiped with a robe, shorts, slippers and towels.
Before we started, we were served some tea, before we start our Jacuzzi. Since it was outdoor and it was raining, the hot Jacuzzi was a good welcome. Spent about 40 mins in it. We were given fresh towels to dry ourselves.
After which, we were urshered to our respective steamrooms.
While waiting for the scrubs, we were urshered into a holding area, where we can sit down and relax, with hot tea provided.
For our body scrubs, we chose sugar scrub with lavender scent. We were urshered into a room with smoothing music playing at the same time. While lying on the bed, they "forcefully" scrub the lavender scent sugar crystals on us. It is not painful but a little ticklish. Hee.... After which we were asked to shower off. Our bodies were smelling great after it.
After another cup of hot tea, we started our massage. I got the Traditional Indonesian Massage while my partner got Indulgent Aroma Massage. For mine, it was done in a good and forceful way. It did relax all my tensed muscles. The whole massage was smooth and relaxing. The massuer also used enough force as well.
After another quick shower, we lazed around with another hot cup of tea, relaxing.
The whole experience was very good and it was done in a professional way as well. It seems that we have the whole palce to us as there is no other people at the same time. This was great as we dun feel like rush to complete our package.
In fact the whole experience was so good that we signed up for another 3 more couple packages. Since the spa is located in Safra, the rpcie is also cheaper than those in town area or in hotels. So looking forward to our next spa experience. For those who have not tried it, should do so quick!
Time to feel relax in these stressful times!

Was at a blogger event last night at Essential Brew. The place was cosy and nice. I like the way they did up the upper deck. But for those with smelly feet, you might want to stay on the lower deck. (Cos you need to remove your shoes if you dine at the upper floor.) And ladies in super mini skirt, please avoid too. Or bring a jacket. :)
I forgot to take a look at the menu, was busy taking photos of it but didn't flip it open.
I had the Cajun Dory and I enjoyed it. (Although it was already cold when I ate it.) The fish was still crispy outside and the softness inside is nice. There was no fishy smell and the cajun blended well with the fish. The rice that came with it was something unique. It looked like curry sauce at first but it was sweet. I lovee it so much I cleared off the entire plate! The rice has a sauce over it which tasted like Oolong tea. It gives a refreshing feeling.
The desserts were served complimentary. For my table it was a brownie like cake with ice-cream. It doesn't taste like brownie so I'm calling it chocolate cake. This one I would probably give it a miss as it was not to my liking.
Now that I've got their discount card, I'll most probably be going back when I have time to travel all the way to Holland Village. I want to try their other dishes! The Crispy Lemongrass Chicken and the Honey Mastard Chicken looks nice too.
Anyone want to go give this place a try? ;)

My company's D&D was held in the ballroom at the top storey of the hotel. Just a short distance away from the ballroom is the swimming. Nice rooftop view!
Coming into the ballroom, it was not a very big one but it does come with a small stage. The decoration was simple.
The dinner was served in buffet syle, with food like wild mushroom soup, raisin mushroom rice, teriyaki chicken, smoked salmon, satay, tahu goreng and many others. Some dishes were ok but some were not. A couple of the dishes were either too bland or too salty.
But luckily, their dessert was good. Especially their cheesecakes, which were very nicely made into small round shape. There's also a few types of cheesecakes available which includes oreo cheesecake, New York cheesecake and marble cheesecake. All tasted great!
Other than that, I find their service ok only. The waiters hardly refilled my drinks.
Think their cheesecakes are definitely worth a go.
