    Forget about the full-sized donuts! Marcial Kobe's mini ones are much more yummilicious!!

    Happened to be at Central last week and decided to give these cute little donuts a try. Located at the corner of Central basement (where I usually get lost walking as it seems like a maze to me). There were about 10 flavors to choose from. Not sure if its on promo or the usual price, but I got 12 mini donuts at $4. Quite cheap lah!

    These donuts are very crispy and are not too sweet. The size is just nice to pop into your mouth. But I had to bite them bit by bit to savor the different taste of each mini donuts. There were the sugared ones, caramelized ones, chocolate ones, and alot of others, which I can't recall! All are delicious lah! So go give it a try when you're around The Central ya!

    just had my dinner tdy with my gf at this outlet of the Soup Spoon. It was my first time eating this though I had passed by several times before. There were quite a number of soups to suit different taste buds and I was quite spoilt for choice cos all looked yummy to me, especially when I was quite hungry.

    In the end, I chose to have a clam chowder in a bread bowl, meaning that the soup was served in abread shaped as a bowl. In addition, I ordered a fisherman's seafood basket as well. The soup was nice and creamy,unlike some places whereby the soup is more akin to those Campell's instant soup in a can. The bread used was sour bread and it went down well with the soup. As for the seafood basket, the spreadhad a couple of shrimps, calamari, fish and fried scallops. The taste was quite ncie as well but hwoever I found it a bit oily though.

    Overall, I found that the food is quite tasty and the price is considered resonable given its location. However, seats are quite limited and therefore it would be best to avoid going there during peak periods.

    After reading the above reviews, I decided to give this place a try. Couldn't find the place at first, but thanks to Lucardia, I managed to find it.

    The concept of the ice-cream sticks ordering system is interesting, but if fact I feel that its quite inconvenient for the customers. Let's just say, we still pay 10% service charge but we do half the work for them, i.e. ordering. The sushi belt is right in the center of the place and you have to carry them back to your seats. The tray they provide is small. The most you can put is 4 plates at a go. Well, still consider alright since there aren't that many options to choose form.

    99cents for a plate of sushi is cheap. But that's all they are. Cheap. The other dishes available looks normal. Ordered Fried Ebi and Fried Tofu. Tasted nice. But not fantastic.

    One thing I don't like is the after-smell that's stuck with you event up till now. The spell that I call the "foodcourt smell". (That's one reason why I avoid eating at foodcourts.) So ya, I'll be avoiding this place too.

    Had a bit of supper at this tim sum restaurant along Jalan Besar the other day. If some of you can recall, this restaurant used to have its own commercial on TV but not sure if its still available now.

    Anyway, I ordered one basket of Chicken feet, one Chicken glutinous rice, one plate of char siew pastry and one fried wanton. Sad to say, though this place had been around for many years, the standard simply is unacceptable. Firstly, the quantity given is simply pathetic and the food didn't come piping hot as it should be. The taste of the food ain't that great either. Worse, the price is quite unreasonable as well. As compared to the Mong Kok Tim Sum at Geylang, which i wrote a review on previously, the difference is so vast and I definitely wnt go back to this Swee Choon again.

    I’ve been to Robertson Walk many times, but this was my first at the second level. With so many pubs and resturants on the ground floor, one might not discover what’s hidden at the upper floor. Sage, The Resturant is the product of the determination of husband and wife team Jusman So and Kimberly Chew. With Jusman cooking up delicious creation and Kimberly’s warm service, Sage is warm and welcoming.

    We had a special dinner menu designed for us. It includes Scallops, Foie Gras, Cod & Bouillabaisse and Creme Brulee.

    The scallop was fresh and well-packed. Its different from the ordinary one where the meat splits up when you cut into it. The squid ink capellini was something that I would want to try again. Cavier was alittle too saltish for my liking. The leek and potato vichyssoise was very yummy. Everyone was asking for more bread so that they can clean off the very last drop of it from their plate.

    This was my second time having foie gras. As compared to the one I ate at My Humble House anniversary cocktail dinner, this was so much better. In fact, this was heavenly (and super sinful too!). The pistachio crust makes the entire experience different. Crispy exterior with moist and soft interior. However, after the entire piece, I could feel the fats wrapped around my entire heart! Yes! It was that sinful!

    The Cod & Bouillabaisse was the best for the entire night! Cod was cooked to perfection. It melts immediately when it reaches your tongue. I could still remember the feeling and taste of the cod in my mouth as I typed this. The sauce complimented well with prawns and vegetables. The toast was again used to clear the plate. I would love to have this again, but sadly, its not on their menu. This was specially created just for our dinner that night.

    The dessert was a sweet-sour-sorbet with not-so-well-received-jelly. I had just half of the serving and gave up. I’m not a sour sorbet fan, so I sure not comment much. However, the Lavender creme brulee and Navel orange meringue was nice. Although a little too sweet, but I finished them both eventually. The meringue tasted like hard and crispy candyfloss. The creme brulee was a great ending for the night.

    Overall the dinner was nice and quite an experience for me. However, due to the setting and the many new faces around, I didn’t quite enjoy it as much as I hope to. The food was nice but not something which I would return for more, due to the price. (Total for 10 of us came up to $1022, incl. a bottle of New Zealand Red wine.)

    Was there with ploarbear to eat at this outlet of suki sushi during our lunch. As he mentioned, the place is quite concealed insides an almost empty building and if one would almost definitely miss the shop if you had nt been there before.

    Me being an avid fan of sushi and sashimi, found this place to be a raw deal. The plates of sushi were going at only 99 cents each as well as the chawamushi. And the more expensive ones would be going from 2.99 onwards. As compared to Sakae Sushi, the price was definitely more reasonable and the taste of the food was comparable, thou Sakae Sushi is slightly better for some of them.

    But my best food would be the salmon sashimi. The slices of the raw fish were thick and fresh, unlike those from Sakae, thou fresh as well, but were much smaller in terms of size and the price was higher as well.

    Overall, I would say that the meal was definitely worth the money we paid, abt 50 bucks for 4 persons eating almost 30 plus of the sushi. I would definitely recommend this place for those living near AMK central to go and give it a try.

    Has eaten many times at this oulet of Ajisen Ramen as it is near my home and after my meal can go Bugis for some window shopping.

    My fav Ramen is always the Tonkusen Ramen, whick comes with half a egg, 3-4 slices of the Char Siew and the nice but slightly fatty pork ribs, which is boiled till it is very soft and can eaten with the bones as well. Add on the volcano sauce for another two bucks and the taste is just superb!! Top that up with a bit of the chopped onions and chilli powder and the soup will taste even better. Just thinkg abt it makes me go yummy again!!!!

    But one bad thing abt this outlet is that it does get rather cramped during peak periods and sometimes you are just too close with your neighbours for comfort. Either of you can really hear each other's conversation loud and clear. Other than that, I would say that the food is quite alright and is located at a very convenient place

    Was brought to this place by my collegaues last Friday. It was my first time there as I seldom passed by that area. Inside, its the more traditional setting of an Indian restaurant,instead of a more modern feel like that of Komala's.

    There were many different types of prata available, that really made you spoilt for choice. There are the traditional kosong, egg, onion and the more special ones such as prata with babana, prata with chocolate,etc, and the murtabak types as well.

    Me decided to go for the traditional ones as I did not really liked those specialities pratas. ALso, we ordered a small fish curry as well.. The food came nice and hot and prompt.

    Would recommend this place for those who like to eat pratas. The price is quite reasonable and the food tastes good as well. Feel that it it worth the money and would definitely go back there again with my friends.

    129. Eden Cafe

    Health and wholesome goodness comes naturally at Eden...

    Was welcomed by the homely and comfortable cafe with smile and greetings from Clement and his staff. Situated up a little slope of Club Street, Eden Cafe is a place where one would love to enter for a smoothing and chilled glass of wine tea to beat those heat from the blazing sun. The cafe feels so homely, I can stay there for an entire day. Great for those who love a quiet place to chill and relax, away from the bustling madness happening just nearby, with some good tea or wine.

    As a seafood lover, especially for calamari, I just had to try their Mussel Calamari Dunker ($12.90) served with crispy wholegrain bread. Although the base seems thick, and together with the wholegrain bread seem like a filling meal. But it was just the right amount of everything that filled my tummy but still left room for more. The calamaris and mussels were so fresh, I could taste their original taste even with the specially created base which was made up of seven different vegetables. Including celery, which I hate! But it was so well blended that I licked the bowl clean. (Ok I didn't literally licked the bowl.)

    With room for more, I tried their homemade Rosepetal Brownie ($5.90). Yap! There's real rosepetals in the brownie and also on it! My very first attempt at consuming flowers and it was quite an interesting taste. The rosepetals blended well with the sweetness from the chocolate brownie and vanilla ice-cream. The rose petal reduces the sweetness with its light bitterness. And as the brownies has no additional sugar added, you won't get "sick" of eating it, although the piece was quite huge. Surely going to order this again when I'm back (i.e. after I tried the other sinful goodness at Eden).

    The next must try is Eden's fusion tea ($9.00). There's so many choices to choose from. When you can't decide, just tell Clement how you feel that day and let him decide for you! Served in specially designed tea sets, you can see the beautiful colors of the floral tea and the nice golden color of the tea. The teacups are cleverly crafted, with the double layer design, you can hold the teacup without feeling the heat from the tea.

    With yummy and healthy food, great atmosphere and friendly service, its no doubt that I'm going to recommend all my friends and family to Eden Cafe.

    If you can't decide what to eat, just let Clement decide for you.

    Have to compliment this guy's friendly and welcoming service. Although I guess he did scare/ gave fright to some of the ladies shopping at Watsons.

    Not sure if he's one of the managers but he was wearing a jacket and was well groomed. He went around with basket for shoppers and very politely offered the basket for the shoppers. But I did notice he kinda frightened couple of the ladies who were paying too much attention to the labels on the packaging.

    Still a pleasant shock I guess.

    My partner commented that they're probably training up for the upcoming F1 race or IR since Singapore is all about providing excellence services for everyone. Hope the service standards will keep improving in Singapore.
