We were planning on going to The Rice Table but it has long closed @ suntec so I suggested Tony Roma's. Price is a bit steep but I still have the cupon that gives me 50% off my 2nd main.
ORderd side salad and Shared the 1/2 bbq chicken(with a choice of 2 sides), chose mashed potato and fries with my colleague. and we orderd the calamari too and they actually asked if i wanted the calamari and salad before or together with the main. Noticing that i was malay, the waiter even informed me that the salad had bacon bits on top and asked if i wanted it omitted *yay for service*
my colleagues all orderd the ribs set.
Food came in around 10-15 minutes.
We were served with complimentary bread which was nice. reminds me of the delifrance baguette and i liked the garlic spread. Ended up eating the calamari with the spread.
The chicken that came was huge. And it was delicious. Juicy, succulent and tasty. Wasnt too overwhelmed with the bbq sauce but still nice and could taste the tangy bbq sauce. Mashed potato was the 2nd best iv tried(best is still popeyes) loved the gravy which had melted cheese in it and it wasnt salty. I liked the fries too, thin but filling and crunchy. And not laden with salt too.
My colleagues all seemed to enjoy their meals..
Calamari was good, passed my non rubber test tho found it a bit too flour-ey. Think sice I have my voucher I shall return again.
Its servings are enough for two and even then we couldnt finish so it was value for money. Service was good. Kept refilling our drinks and did not chase us out at 11 when they were closing. and I liked the decor, would want to sit at the booth seats next time.
Overall a good dining experience for 12 rowdy people
Arnold's Chicken? What's that? Thoughts of yet another generic deep fried chicken stall flashed across my mind when my friend brought it up. When informed that it was a rather famous outlet selling chicken that rivaled Popeye's and beat KFC's hands down, I embarked on a trip with my gf that very same day to verify the claims.
Located on the 2nd floor of City Plaza, the main outlet of Arnold's is tucked away in a rather obscure corner and very much resembles a fast food joint except that they do take and serve orders at your table. Please note that you still pay at the counter though.
We had the 2 person combo meal, which consisted of 5 pieces of chicken, potato fries, 1 regular coleslaw, 2 buns and 2 soft drinks. The highlight was of course the chicken, which was very crispy on the outside with a tinge of herbs yet tender and moist on the inside. And the best part was, it didn't have the used oil aftertaste that usually came along with KFC chickens. The coleslaw was also quite a refreshing change from the funny tasting and smelling ones that KFC serves. Even my gf who dislikes coleslaw commented so. The buns were way too oily though, being deep fried in oil and the fries really tasted like frozen fries that had been deep fried.
$18.10 for the above is rather pricey actually, especially when you can get the exact same stuff at KFC for about $5 less. Quality wise, no thoughts of comparison between Arnold's and KFC should even cross your mind because there is simply no competition. Unfortunately, location wise, KFC is a clear winner.
The vibrant dining scene of East Coast/Upper East Coast road has a new entrant - a small bistro by the name of Montreux. Its not exactly new to the East Coast area per se, with a small cafe going by the same name and owned by the same person operating out of the basement of Siglap Centre. The cafe only sells cakes and desserts though, while the bistro serves up appetisers and mains as well.
Partially hidden from view in a tiny shophouse just 2 units down from NTUC, Montreux's interior is simple, uncluttered and very "cafeish". Its really tiny though, probably maxing out at about 20 customers or so.
Complimentary Bread - The bread, though served warm, was at best forgettable. But no one complains of free bread especially when they are starving.
The soup of the day - Beef Goulash. Tangy with a hint of spice and a few chunks of beef, something which I certainly didn't expect from a low cost set dinner soup. It was a tad too watery though.
Bangers & Mash - Okay this hardly qualifies as bangers and mash although technically there's nothing wrong with it. Correct me if I am wrong though, but isn't bangers and mash suppose to come with huge sausages and not the teeny weeny ones you can get off the shelves from some supermart? However, having said that, its best to keep in mind that we are talking about a $12.90 set dinner here so I guess that kinda puts things into perspective. Just for the record, the sausages weren't great, average at best.
Half Spring Chicken - The half spring chicken was rather smallish but decent enough. Served up with a piece of overfried rosti, it was a tad dry (probably a little overcooked) with a light herb taste.
Hazelnut Cake - The cake had to be the highlight of the set dinner, or the entire meal for that matter. Smooth hazelnut and sponge sitting atop a nice crunchy wafer base. A very nice nutty taste. It did seem a tad too dry though. Also, only half a slice of cake was served, making portions really small.
Espresso Brownie - Our waiter recommended this and after the positive experience with the hazelnut cake, I had fairly high expectations of it. And it was quite good with molten chocolate atop and the cake a tad chewy and not too dry. However, I couldn't quite make out any taste of espresso at all. Montreux might want to consider adding more espresso into the mix or renaming the brownie?
2 set dinners plus an extra dessert cost $36, which certainly isn't expensive. Generally mains are average but desserts are better. If they could improve the quality of their mains, I'm sure Montreux Bistro will be a success, especially when service is good as well. On a side note, I've not tried anything from their ala carte menu because the items in it do seem rather expensive, which means that my review might not be entirely fair.
When you see the stall, you might mistaken it for a tze char stall with the signboard showing dishes usually associated with one. The brief story behind this muffin shop is that the son took over the original tze char stall in the hawker centre after a certain chain of events and converted it to specialize on muffins. Since then, there was no turning back.
I guess business is pretty good as I sometimes get an apology from the boss saying that he ran out of the popular flavors by lunchtime on a week day.
So it did take few occasions before I managed to try out a few of the flavors. Suffice to say, there was good reason for the muffins to sell out so quickly.
The banana walnut muffin was an absolute joy to sink your teeth into the fluffy texture similar to the fa-gao with slices of sweet banana laid on the crown and crunchy walnuts throughout. It was not overly sweet and you can taste the ingredient properly.
They also have flavors like oreo, orange peel, chocolate and a savory ham and cheese flavor.
The best part is that the muffins are pretty large, almost one's fist and yet priced really cheaply at $1.20 per piece.
And just before you leave the stall with your spoils, the boss will remind you that his is the first fortune muffin in the world, thanks to the little slip of paper placed between the base of two paper cups.
You would think that there would be some proper service standards in an atas area such as Dempsey. But NO, thanks to La Forketta, I can relate so well with people who experience bad service which sticks out like a sore thumb. So appalled, I am mooting for this place to be renamed to Forget it Lah! as a tribute to this abomination of a restaurant.
Arrogant twits for wait staff It is clear as glass that the GEMS (Going the Extra Mile for Service) programme never saw the light of day here at Forget it Lah!. None of them even displayed a hint of a smile. Either the wait staff all have facial muscular disorder and will suffer traumatic cramps upon smiling and keel over and die, or they are all extremely buey gam wan (read: pissed with everything, everyone, every time). I'll do you guys a service here by providing some revelation: The only wait staff who have such a privilege of not smiling is one with a French accent as thick as the Great Wall of China. Don't confuse French and Italian cuisine. Hell, even French waiters smile readily for that matter.
Like customers owe them a living While we can live with wait staff that give the buey gam wan look by simply ignoring them, it is a whole new level when they just take their own sweet time for everything and telling you off for it. While I believe there should be staff welfare, but there is also welfare abuse. At Forget it Lah! we know it is the latter. While seated at a corner, I saw many wait staff standing outside relaxing and taking puffs of smoke while the restaurant was occupied at every table. (Full because, surprise! Slow service = slow patron turnover) So basically, patrons have to wait for not only the food to be prepared, but also for the wait staff who need to take their break after every dish served to the table. Yes, I am sure waiting tables is a life-and-death-kind-of-stressful profession that warrants that kind of de-stressing activity. I don't even want to imagine how the stinky toxic from cigarettes interact with the food.
Cheating your money with bread and water With bread automatically served, you are also automatically charged an exorbitant price for the plain old roti. You are forced to order their atas water because they can't afford proper plumbing in Singapore, where the water is tested to be purer than any atas mineral water and can fight tooth decay. There are ways to do business, and there are underhand ways to do business, but there is the Forget it Lah! way to do business that is in a league of its own.
Just finished 2 sets of 2 pieces chicken with 1 ice lemon tea and 1 ice milo with the missus. We were very fortunate to get in very quickly, waiting for 2 minutes and we got our table. The chickens were quite good but too salty for my taste. Luckily I have the coleslaw and fries to cover the saltyness of the chickens. Total of the dinner was $16.20, overall experience was generally okay. It was the kind where you come in, eat, pay, and get out. So don't expect cool, funky atmosphere to hang out.
Went to try out Charcoal at Station Kitchen, St. James Power Station. As I had called and booked a table for two several days ago, but when we entered Charcoal, my name was not in sight on their booking list. Nevertheless as we were early and it's yet dinner time, we managed to get a table.
The restaurant is high-class decorated and there are 2 different kind of tables, namely the normal table and the other as shown in the photograph above which require the customer(s) to take off their foot wear. The waitress came to give us the menu and gave a short introduction of how their system work. Upon looking at the menu, ala carte menu seems to be pricey and we ordered the Moriwasen set which is priced at $58.00! The Moriwasen set consist of more meat whereas the other sets had other variety like seafood, which is more pricey!
After we had ordered, a traditional mini-stove was brought to our table. The fire is controlled by opening and closing of the small window!
Moriwasen set consist of 3 different meat, mushroom, 2 veggies and a japanese rice in green tea! we need to BBQ the meat on the small wire mesh, but the fire is (indeed) strong thus the meat got over-cooked rather fast, it tends to stick to the wire mesh too! Most of the time, we are eating a bit 'chao ta' meat! The veggies and mushroom were too raw that the veggies and mushroom also ended up onto the wire mesh. Indeed, they do tasted better after being BBQ-ed!
We seems to be struggling in our dinner while the rest of the customer seems to enjoy their BBQ dinner. Business for the Charcoal also seems brisk! The waitress also took a long time (almost 10 minutes) to settle the bill!
this is a disappointing dinner especially the food. Despite both of us being small eaters, but we feel that we had yet eaten anything after the dinner! Can you imagine that we went for a second round in Brewerkz where I finish one Brewerkz Burger!!
I had a chance to take a ride on the Singapore Flyer before it was officially opened to public. I was very very excited and was looking forward to the flight. I was there at night and as it was not open to public yet, there wasn't much people there. The flyer was lighted in blue neon color at night and gives a very dreamy feeling at night.
Everyone has to pass through a security check, like at the customs, before entering the boarding area. To get to the flyer itself takes abit of walking and couple of escalator. And before stepping onto the boarding platform, everyone will enter into a mock up of the capsule where photos will be taken. ($15 for the first photo, $10 for subsequent copies.) This photo is supposed to be superimposed into the back drop and show as if we took it while riding on the Singapore Flyer. You can buy the photo after the flight with the magnetic tag passed to you at the mock up photo taking area.
Finally we saw the capsule! Boarding the capsule can be rather tricky. It continues to move as everyone rushed up to get into the capsule before the boarding period passes. I wonder if they carter for handicaps entrance. Probably they'll have to stop the moving flyer for such boardings. The capsule was not as big as I’d imagined. 24 of us standing around the capsule already seemed rather packed and it was rather warm inside the capsule. Can't imagine hot hot it might be in the day when the sun is above.
The view from the top of the capsule was magnificent. You get to see the beautiful skyline from high above. It's recommended that you move around the capsule and enjoy the entire 360-degree view. If you are planning to take photos, its advisable to bring a tripod and set it up before you're 1/4 way up the flight. The glass used isn't suitable for photo taking with flash. So you'll have to have very steady hands or use flash and missed out the beautiful backdrop in the background of your photo.
I'll probably return for another flight when the construction of Marina Bay is complete. Now only one side has got good view.
The first impression I got when I stepped into the cafe is the use of bright colors and 2 huge Jalapeno plushie on display at the capsule display near the entrance. There's a row of booth seats thats great for big group gatherings. Very cosy place to chill out and enjoy the night with friends.
As I was there for an event, I didn't get to take a look at their menu. Everyone was served a sampler plate with fried calamari, wedges, soft burrito and some jalapeno-liked thing with stuffings. I like the fried calamari as it was tasty and crispy. Would surely order this if I go back again. And the jalapeno was as flavorful, not sure wat's inside the stuffing thou as I was too hungry to slowly taste and analyzes them.
Perhaps Yebbers can arrange a gathering there? Hmm...
Seasons Reasons was featured on TV a few times and finally I got a chance to settle for lunch one day. The place is hidden at a corner and easily missed if one isn't noticing. The place can hold about 30-40 pax and is simply decorated with white tables and chairs. Good place for quick meal but not so comfortable for chilling out with friends.
The choice of food is quite small, and I settled with something special that day. I ordered the Spicy Spaghetti Goreng Topped with Mussels & Shrimps @ $13.90 and a glass of Orange Spice. When the spaghetti was served, the smell of Tom Yum filled my senses. I was attracted to it and wanted to deep my fork in it as fast as I could. The presentation was enticing too. The color makes it appealing enough for even my friend who came later to order the same dish. After my first taste of it, I knew immediately I'll return for more if I've the chance. The spaghetti is cooked with some spice that resembles those used in Tom Yum. Very fragrance and nice. Shrimps were plentiful and the mussels were fresh. Serving is big enough to fill any hungry man/woman. Yummilicious pasta!
