My Dining room is located in the Central, just above the Clarke Quay MRT Station. My Dining room is on the fourth storey of the mall. Probably due to its good location, one will get to enjoy a pretty nice river view while enjoying their food there.
You can find a number of restuarants in the central, but My dining room still stands out among them. This is because they are the one and only one food court found there. Beside this, they offer a wide variety of food at a normial fare.
Was at the dessert store, thinking of what to eat after my filling dinner. Just as i was deciding, i suddenly realize their prices is actually much higher than the rest of the kopitiam.
For a normal bowl of dessert will cost you less than $2 in normal kopitiam, however the same thing will sell you at $2.50.
Guess this is probably due to its good location, as for me, if the food served are of a better quality and quantity, im gladly to pay abit more. Better quality will means nicer taste in the food and quantity will means larger portion. ha.
Finally, settled on an aloe vera lime juice. This dessert is charged at an additional 60 cents as compare to other kopitiam outlets. Normally, i would not bother to look at what the aunty pour into my bowl of dessert, however today i actually looked at every single steps on how she do my aloe vera lime.
First, she scopped half a cup of lime juice. Ok, did not get to see how is the lime juice being prepared. But this lime juice bottle is not covered up at any times, which means uninvited particles may just rest on there?
Thereafter, she pour a scoup of alore vera -- about 5 tiny alore vera cubes. And she started to shred some ice on it.
After the shred ice filled half of the cup, she started to scoup the left over ice from the bottom plate and placed into my cup.
Am totally horrified, how can she simply put the half melted shred ice into my cup of lime juice. First, i do not know if the bottom plate is clean, or do they even clean it in the first place? Second, i do not know if the shred ice has been there for how long and the number of baterias they may have mulitply during the time?
In the end, i simply discard the entire cup into the dustbin. Guess, i will not dare to order anything from the dessert store again.

Just take a close look to the signboard -- BaliThai. It would not be too hard to guess what kind of food they serve. Yes, you are right, they served both indonesian and thai food.
BaliThai is located at the third storey of West Mall Shopping Centre. It is a pretty good location, i can say, as its not only near the escalator but also near to the bukit batok mrt station.
First step into the restuarant will gives you a cosy feeling. This is probably due to their soft lighting. You can also get to see artifical wood craved to a unique shape -- this is probably to reflect the culture of thai or indonesian.
I was assigned to be seated near a wall. One look at the wall actually turned me off. Theres alot o dark spots on the wall and it doesnt look like a design to me. Immediately, it give me a feeling that they did not maintain the restuarant well enough.
Taking a look at their offering, makes me realize they actually serve quite normal stuffs. Or should i say, the stuffs thay they are serving can easily be found in other thai restaurant outlets. ha.
The first dish that i had is my ever favorite -- Tahu Telur. This dish is actually done by frying the egg coated bean curds. What is really special about this Tahu Telur is that it is not oily at all!!! Yes, you heard correctly, its not oily even thou the fact that they are fried. ha. Unbelivable right?
Another speciality of this Tahu Telur is that they actually added in floss (guess it should be chicken floss). These floss actually enhance the flavour of the eggs bead curd. With the peanut dark sauce, the taste is fabulous.
Ordered their Pad Thai -- fried thin glass noodles. I simply loved the sour and spicy taste of this dish. One thing i wanted to highlight is that they actually added in a super big fried prawn on top of the pad thai. This came as a surprise to me as you wont find it in other outlets.
Last but not least, i have to try on their dessert -- Tapioca with coconut cream. This dish is pretty disappointing for me as it is neither warm or cold. Yah, it would defintely taste better if the tapioca was put into the fridge before serving.
Their tapioca seems abit hard as well, probably the tapioca they have used is pretty mature. This pulls down the overall result of their dessert.
Overall, this is a pretty decent place to satisfy your thai food craving.

Harbourfront centre is located just outside of harbourfront MRT station. Hans Cafe is situated right at the extreme corner on the ground floor. Well, i could have missed this cafe, if not of their big red signboard. ha. This signboard really caught my attention which eventually lead me to test their food.
What i loved about their menu is that they sell pratically almost anything. They sell anything from chinese hor fun to porridge to western chicken chop to sandwich, pies and cakes. You will definitely find one kind of food that will suit your taste.
I am particularly interested in their set lunch / dinner. With a standard fare, you get to enjoy the following:
1) soup of the day
2) main course
3) dessert.
The portion can defintely fill you up and its worth the price that you are paying for.
Well, perhaps its just after the dinner peak, thus most of the tables were left uncleared. sat down on one of the tables, thinking that the staff will come and clear my table. One minute gone, Ten minutes gone, theres still no sign of anyone who took the initiative to clear my table.
I tried to signal one of the staff to clear my table, but seems like no one even bother to check out on me. In the end, i have to take my dinner between two high stacks of used plates and bowls.
Overall, a definitely good cafe for those budget conscious people. However, be prepared to clear your own table during their manpower shortage period.

In Singapore, theres quite a few Toast box outlets. The one that i would like to review is located at Vivocity. Vivocity is located just beside of the harbourfront MRT station.
This Toast box outlet is located in a very prominent location --just right at the exit of harbourfront MRT station. ha. Rather difficult to miss this shop.
This shop is created with the look of 50s-60s coffee shop style. Perhaps of its appearance, i have a homely kind of feeling whenever i stepped into the shop.
The atmosphere creates a nice place for you to have your chit chat. However, at times it may be too noisy to have serious talk.
This toast box is unlike the normal bakeries shop. This toast box has something that the rest of the bakeries do not have -- varities.
They have all sorts of breads, from toasted white bread to soft buns to thicktoast. If this is still not able to satisfy your taste buld, you can choose from a even wider variety of bread from its bakery shop next door (*they have innovative names tagged to the breads too).
Beside the different kinds of breads, their have a wide range of fillings to apply on top / between the breads. These fillings range from kaya to peanut butter to pork floss and even otah. Unbeliveable right?
Personally, i loved the peanut butter thicktoast. Why you may ask? This is because the peanut butter is simply heavenly. ha.
The good thing for ladies is that they will cut up the thicktoast into 9 small square pieces, so that you can eat every single mouth of toast bread more gracefully.
You will definitely be able to find the type of bread that you like from its wide variety of breads.
Fear not, if you do not feel like eating bread today.
They have many other alternatives like nasi lemak or even mee siam. All these are also hot item for the customers there.

The one and only QQ Rice outlet originate from taiwan is now in Singapore. It is situated at Square 2 shopping centre which is conveniently located just on top of Novena Square MRT station.
As QQ Rice outlet is not situated anywhere near the MRT station exit, a long time is used up to locate its store.
It is tugged just outside the mall corridor. Can you imagine? If i never step out of the building, i may never find this shop.
After so much walking, thought i can finally get to eat the much awaited rice balls. Never expected thers is still a super long queue is waiting for me. ha.
A word of advice: Please do not visit the store during lunch time if you are not ready to wait.
Ok, from their signboard, you can roughly guess the type of food this shop is selling.
Ya, you are right!
They are selling RICE!!!
Mind you, is not those ordinary white rice that you often take for dinner. Their rice are really special. Special in the sense that every types of rice that they offer here actually has excellent health benefit in them.
Bascially, there are 5 different types of rice to choose from -- purple rice, brown rice, red rice, Ice Lake gourmet rice and mixed grain rice.
Well, you must be wondering what is so nice to eat these rice?? The interesting part is you get to add in 5 different ingredients into your rice.
Theres a range of more than 50 different kind of ingredients to choose from. Some examples will be ham, chicken, cabbage, corn, chicken floss, seaweed, etc.
After choosing your rice and 5 ingredients, they will proceed to wrap it up into a ball shape and packed it in a plastic bag. An innovative and fun way to eat rice. By shaping the rice to a ball shape will make the little bits of rice remain in tact till the very last mouth.
Whats more? Their proportion of rice and filling is just nice so you will get to taste the different types of fillings every single mouth.
The best part of this rice balls is that is rather affordable. Priced from a range of $3.2 to $3.9, depending on the type of rice that you have choosen.
Overall, this is a definitely must try place.
If you are rushing for time, these rice balls is a great pack and go food.
What's more, its portion its big enough to fill you up and most importantly it has lots of healthy benefits.
