A few weeks back, I and my girlfriend went to the new Manhattan Fish Market at Central. This was the second time that we dine at Manhattan Fish Market, our first time was at Plaza Singapura. What drew us to this branch was the great food and of course, the Al Fresco dinning at this branch!!!
We went early (around late evening time) so that we could find a table in the small Al Fresco area. We got the best center table and were just in time to catch the sun set, although had to endure the strong UV rays as I was seated facing the sun! We ordered Fishermen's Giant Fried Platter in our previous visit, thus we decided to order Manhattan Seafood Platter this time round.
The soup was served first followed by the Manhattan Seafood Platter which the waiter BBQ-ed the cheese prawns. Basically it's more or less the same as Fishermen's Giant Fried Platter, the difference being mushrooms exchanged for prawns and the inclusion of prawns! The prawns tasted great, while rather disappointed with the rest of the items, it's just strange that the first time always tasted better than the follow up visits!
Nevertheless, the Al Fresco dinning experience was great! However, there were occasionally screams to disturb our dinning experience from those taking the G-max!
Due to the large serving of the Manhattan Seafood Platter, we took a long time to finish it as we at till night fall, I guessed we occupied the table for the longest time as we would occasionally stop in order for our food to digest and whipped out our cameras to take photographs of the beautiful surrounding. Finally we foot the bill after 2 hours of dinning, but we still failed to finish the food! ;P

Had dinner at PASTA de WARAKU at Central last friday, there was a long queue and it took almost 25 minutes before our number was called. Anyway, we seize the time to take a look at the replicas of its menu, but we still could not make up our decision on what to order. During the waiting time, the waitress offered us a cup of iced coke to quench our thirst ...
This is our second visit to PASTA de WARAKU and I ordered a yummy minced meat pasta during my last visit but I would like to try other item on the menu. Although the service is considered good, it's a pity that the tables are too small and it does not have alfresco dinning like Manhattan Fish Market.
We took quite some time to decide we shall we order. In my thought, should I order pasta again, or pizza, or Japanese curry rice??? In the end, we ordered pasta again!
I'm not so sure that we ordered a set or whatsoever, a bowl of salad was served. The salad sauce or dressing was just too sweet!!!
Soon, my order was served first!!! I order No.37 Beef & vegetable with wafu tomato cream sauce!!! Hmmmm.... yummy!!When eating pasta, of course we shall not forget of chili and CHEEESSSEEEE!
My girlfriend's order of No.34 Seafood prawn, squid & mussel with wafu tomato sauce was also served. Did not tasted as good as mine and the mussel........ dun even mention about the mussel! Of course we shall not forget CHEEESSSEEEE!
Generally, one plate of pasta in PASTA de WARAKU is already quite filling, maybe you should try it one of these days?

Was walking toward causeway point when i saw this interesting area right at the entrance of the shopping centre. Initially i thought that they are actually free seating place build for the customers. So kind of the management i thought.:P
Then did i realise that they are not free seating space but actually a Cavana restuarant. This particular outlet is rather different from the rest of its outlets, probably due to its alfresco dining area. Well, thinking that it may be an interesting experience to have my dinner outdoor, i decided to check out this cavana.
Cavana is especially famous for its chicken dishes, from deep fried all the way to the stir fry kind. Interesting ya? Beside chicken, they also sells beef and fish but their varieities are pretty limited. Oh by the way, they are certified halal so sad to say, you won't be able to find any pork there.
Their menu are divided into 2 different category -- the classic and the hotplates. The classics consists of fried chicken wings, chicken culets, grilled chicken and curry chicken. As for their hotplates, its slightly more interesting with sichuan, teriyaki flavours and such.
I decided to try out their teriyaki chicken hotplate as the pictures on the menu looks pretty appetising. A rather big portion i can say, beside the main teriyaki chicken, it is also served with rice, side vegetable dish and egg. However, i did not find their chicken particually nice as what they have boast about.
Perhaps they are still afterall a western food outlet, thus i am not able to compare their teriyaki chicken with those from the japanese restuarant. hahaha... However, i must admit that their portion is rather filling.
They have also created their own drink -- lemongrass lemon drink. Heard from my friend that lemongrass can actually aids digestion. Do not know if this is true. But this drink can definitely make me feels less bloated after the huge servings of hotplate.
Overall, this shop provides huge serving of food at an ok price. Prices vary from what you order. Hot plates are generally much more expensive than classics. Just do not be too particular on their quality of food.
One look across you can easily identify this well renovated cafe from other local kopitiams along the same stretch. They serve dim sum (ranging from $2 to $2.80 per basket) and toast. The menu is placed on the table, with the quantity stated for each item. When we submitted our order to the server, he would go through with us again to make sure everything is correct.
The pocket-friendly price tags comes with great food!
Ha kaw - Thin, translucent skin wrapped the crunchy fresh prawn.
Century egg porridge - generous serving for $2.50 a bowl. Creamy texture, right amount of seasoning... Suggest to share with someone else you would be too full to savour other food
Pork ribs - The meat is so soft! I could separate the meat from the bone with just my chopsticks.
Iced tea - My colleague tried it... she is a 'teh/kopi peng' expert and she gave thumbs up for this one. Thick flavoured even when the ice melted
One unique point of this cafe is, people who works there are ex-convicts. Ironically, the cafe is looking over the subordinate court, acting as a reminder to them not to go back to the old ways. This place has given them a chance to contribute to the society and being useful again.
Their service is excellent! The uncle serving us was fast and he made our luncheon a happy one. For the pocket friendly prices and good service, i would definitely patronise the place again.
I’ve walked by so many times, but I’ve never been in to eat. Finally, I got my chance.
I was given one of the “cabin” seats. Initially, it felt quite cool to be in there. But later I realize that it was one of the lousy seats. Waiters don’t really seem to look out for that little you cooped up in one of those corners, plus the air-conditioning there isn’t strong enough to counter the effect of the warm orange spot light right over your head.
The food, however, seemed fine. I ordered a seafood platter but they were out of cold crabs, so I had a replacement. The platter turned out to be really huge. Their calamaris and prawn fritters were good. The prawns seemed quite fresh, thus making it rather crunchy to chew on. But the platter was so huge it seemed more like it was for 3 people. I like their fries too. But as with all fries, you’ve got to eat it while it’s hot. Their carbonara wasn’t that good though. I thought the base was too thick. No doubt all cream bases are like that, however this was a tad too thick, it made it unbearable to finish your plate.
Food and service aside, they’ve got a pool table right in the middle which adds on to the already-funky-looking place. $2 a game. Cheap? I don’t know, but I’ve seen more expensive ones. I thought it was quite a good idea as you get to entertain yourself while waiting for your food.
I’d say this place is worth a try. Just don’t get the cool-looking warm seats..
Be pampered with the wide choices of the set meals ranging from $9.90 to $15.90 (if my memory is not failing). The set meal comes with a soup of the day, a main course and a scoop of ice cream. Drinks to purchase separately (no plain water served either).
I always like its Aligo Olio set, as it is the most economical on the list. As you know aligo olio is a very simple dish with juz garlic and olive oil. On the other hand a simple dish can bring out the skill of the chef. I had been there several times ordering the same thing and was not disappointed once. They use dried chilli and ground black pepper to add a little spice in the pasta. Geez, the thought of it makes me hungry.
If you see there is a long queue, you would know the food is good. Try out the Korean food stall in this foodcourt, and you will leave with a satisfactory smile.
Bibimbap - sssshiok! have fun churning the ingredients and savour the slightly spicy mixed rice
Hotplate beef w rice - Too bad the meat was not sizzling on the hotplate. The meat is well marinated, a tinge of sweet and spicy in it.
Kimchi soup w rice - prepare a pack of tissue to blow your nose. Its hot! Wide awake after this meal
meat, Meat, MEAT ! all sorts of meat... beef, mutton, chicken, pork, fish; with various styles for each kind. It aint a good idea to walk in as they may not have seats for you. We happened to pass by the VivoCity branch and decided to give it a shot... 5 of us were given a 4-seater table. Kinda cramp, but after seeing the spread at the salad bar, well, tat compensated the bad seatings.
I love greens, so i selected some leaves and my favourite black olives as my starter. Also tried the 'corn soup'... it was too sweet to my liking. There was also rice and pasta salad for ppl who need carbohydrate.
The servers would walk around the restaurant with the slab of meat. Tried all (except mutton) and my favourites were:
Beef ham - it was soooo juicy and soft! High fats content though, not for the health conceious
Chicken drumlet - honey glazed? smoke? i aint sure... but the meat was soft and tender
Pineapple - sweet! doesnt 'cut tongue', a good choice after all the meat tat went down your digestive system
We paid $40ea on a Fri night, walking out of the restaurant with bloated stomachs. A FULL-filling experience indeed
Was walking around Jurong Point Shopping Centre after my dinner today. Just when i walked pass the Crystal Jade Kitchen, i saw that they actually have set up a cakery and bakery section at the corner of the enterance.
The concept of a bakery shop right inside the restaurant is pretty new to me. I actually pondered for quite some time if i should really take a step in, as i am afraid that i will have to eat some stuffs in the restuarant first before i am allow to buy their breads.
Well, guess i should not worry too much. The waitress standing at the door did not stopped me from entering the bakery shop (although she hoped that i will go to the restuarant instead) after all.
Ok, this is a typical hong kong style of bakery. Why do i say that? That is because you can find most of the hong kong items there -- 2 of the most popular items will be the egg tarts and bo luo bun.
I do not really enjoy eating their egg tarts as i feel that the eggie crust is abit of too thick (i like thinner crust) and its not flaky enough. Besides the crust, its inner egg filling do not have a strong fragent eggie smell.
They have two different kinds of bo luo bun, one with fillings and one is plain. Personally, i loved the one with fillings more. Crispy yellow colour crust filling with nice char siew fillings (barbeque pork) is a great combination. I also like their poportion of char siew in the bun, its just right that i can even savour char siew till the last bite of the bun.
I would also like to recommend another bread from them. This bread may looks ordinary from the appearance but the fillings inside the bread is really nice. Its called the hong kong cocktail bun. No, the bread do not contains any cocktail, rather it contains a mixture of coconut and butter. You will be able to taste the strips of coconut when you eat the bread. A definite must try item.
They also sells chicken wings over there, as one kind of finger food i guess. A very popular food among the customer as 3 out of 5 will be sure to order that. These chicken wings are not those golden brown kinds but rather a hinch of uniform red colour is seen in them. Well, since i have already taken my meal, i decided to give them a miss.
A pretty decent bakery shop for you to try out something special, something of an extraordinary flavour.
Would you believe it if I tell you this coffeeshop has depended solely on the customers brought in by this single stall? Would you believe if I say I would sometimes delay my sleep just to await the first sunrise to buy my breakfast from this stall?
Honestly, there isn't really a brand or stall name. At least it isn't displayed publicly. Over the past few years, this particular coffeeshop housing this wanton mee stall has changed several times UNTIL this stall started business here. Ever since, the coffeeshop has been able to make it because this stall brings in so much customers. Other stalls in the same coffeeshop on the other hand, comes and goes like stocks and shares.
If you like the usual hawker/kopitiam food, you should like this. The first thing I love, is the noodles. It's perfect, and not soggy! It's that amazing chewing sensation when my teeth sink into them that makes me swear my life upon this stall. Plate after plate, the noodles standard just doesn't fade.
This wanton mee also comes with a generous serving of sweet char siew, healthy vegetables and THREE WANTONS! I think most places still come with a stingy two wantons but they're more than happy to serve three - one fried wanton and two boiled wanton. I know it's only a difference of one but who doesn't want more? Especially when their wantons are stuffed with more meat than those flimsy ones we get elsewhere?
This stall has more to offer. Lor mee and fried chicken mee. Talking about fried chicken mee, it's really their speciality. I tried asking for the recipe of their fried chicken bits but the lady boss told me the recipe is a secret. All she could tell me... honey is one of the ingredients.
Not only is the fried chicken sweet... don't expect alot of meat too. The best experience of this fried chicken mee is the crunchiness of the fried exterior along with the wet noodles. What a contrast.
Wanting to meet me for dinner to try out? I'm so sorry, they're close by noon. No matter how much ingredients they purchase, everything is sold out after lunchtime. That's how good they are. It's little wonder why the customers keep returning to them every morning, starting from 7am. Like me, we are never sick of eating their noodles.
My verdict? A must try! It's probably not the most glamorous food around, but comparing the serving, taste and rapport with their customer against some other "famous wanton mee" in Old Kallang Airport Road or North Bridge Road - this neighbourhood stall beats the big names hands down.
Regular customers (twice or thrice a week) like me get just a tiny little whiny bigger share... haha... can I be blamed? The only saddening thing is GST taking a toll on them, and the price has since risen from $2.50 to $2.80. I don't care... I still want my good food!
