Pierside serves modern European cuisine. The menu is decidedly small, focusing heavily on the seasonal's best so their menu changes fairly frequently.
1) Hokkaido Corn Chowder ($15): The soup was alright, but rather uninspiring. The grilled corn was juicy enough, but it can't beat Chili's version.
2) Amuse bouche was a Cod Fish Soup, which I didn't like. It somehow reminded me of cod liver oil. I didn't finish the cup for that very reason.
3) 300 Day Grain-Fed Braised Beef Cheeks ($35): This was divine.The beef was sticky and sweet, but could have been a teeny weeny bit more tender. But the risotto was absolutely delicious, it was creamy, cheesy, but it was also light-as-air. I couldn't get enough of this. The only gripe I had is that the portion was way too small for me.
4) Cappellini with Brown Shrimp ($24): The pasta was al dente enough, but I didn't take to the "shrimpiness" of the dish. It was literally a taste of the sea. It tasted as if a fisherman took whatever was left at the bottom of his net and cooked it all up. This dish is strictly reserved for shellfish lovers.
5) Valrhona Chocolate Fondant ($15), with vanilla bean ice-cream. This was very rich and very indulgent, but also very small.

We ordered:
1) The Boney Cake ($9.80), a thick wad of the Elmer Fudge Cake served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, chocolate chip sprinkles and drizzles of hot fudge. I love the juxtaposition of the warm, rich and dense chocolate cake and the cold vanilla ice-cream. The value-for-money pricetag of $9.80 makes this dessert an absolute must-try.
2) Cookie Monster Mudpie ($10.95), layers of double chocolate chip ice-cream and mocha almond fudge ice-cream, nestled on a Oreo cookie crumb base, topped with Oreo cookie bits, and drizzled with hot fudge. This really was the ultimate chocolate bomb, strictly reserved for chocolate addicts
I love the service here, they are ever so accommodating and smiley.When I asked them the names of the songs playing on the sound system, they took pains to write out the song titles out for me, with nary a frown.

Sushi Tei's one of my favourite go-to restaurants for cheap and quality sushi that's extremely value-for-money. I prefer the China Square Central branch (only for dinner) as it is usually quieter and less crowded than their sister branches around town.
Sushi Tei has quarterly promotions in accordance with the season's finest produce. From January to March 2010, it's the Ocean's Enchantment promotion, which focuses primarily on oysters.
We ordered:
1) Aburi Maguro Black Pepper with Special Sauce ($14), 6 pieces of half-broiled black pepper encrusted tuna. I love love lurve this dish! Every piece is absolutely worth its 2 dollar price-tag.
2) Cha Soba ($7), cold green tea-flavoured buckwheat noodles. Some people hate the idea of eating cold noodles, but I love its refreshing and clean flavours.
3) Katsu Don ($10), sweet and yummy
4) Sashimi Salad with Wafu Dressing ($9). The piquant and salty rice vinegar and soy-based dressing is the perfect complement to the delicate flavours of the salmon, tuna and octopus sashimi.
5) Soft Shell Crab Maki ($6.50) to share. This dish had been on the conveyor belt for a while so the soft shell crab was not as crispy as I'd like it to be. Still, the sushi was yummy.
6) Mini California Maki ($5.50), with avocado, crab meat and smelt roe. The delicate, powdery avocado balanced the sweetness of the crab meat.
7) Hanasaki Ika Tempura ($5.50), squid tempura, served with some mayonnaise. The squid was fresh and just out of the fryer, so it was hot and crispy. The squid was also done just right, no rubbery texture.
8) Gyuniku Roll ($10): a must-try.
9) Salmon Skin Maki ($6.50), I love salmon skin. This was also freshly made, so the salmon skin was still crispy and hot.

We ordered:
1) Half Onion Loaf ($8.90), a towering concoction of battered and deep-fried onion rings, served with a BBQ-mayo sauce. This was so aromatic and it tasted as good as it smelled. I didn't really take to the BBQ-mayo sauce though.
2) BBQ Half Chicken ($20.90), served with a corn on the cob and mashed potatoes. The chicken was juicy enough, but the glazing BBQ sauce was a tad too sweet. The mashed potatoes was also way too dry, even the bacon and shredded cheese topping couldn't cure the dry potatoes. This dish wasn't value for money, but at least the chicken was huge
3) Ribs and Fish Fillet Combo ($28.90), also served with the same sides. The ribs were disappointingly not tender enough, and didn't live up to the "America's Best Ribs" promise. It might be the best in America, but definitely not in Singapore. But the fish saved the day. It was flaky, clean-tasting and moist. This dish was overall a let-down, and not worth its $28.90 price-tag.

Uncle Sam's Claypots used to have one of the best claypot dishes around, back in the 90s. Sadly, the standard has dropped quite a fair bit. The ingredients have shrunk, the prices have risen and the claypots are not as yummy as they used to be. I used to love the tom yum noodle soup, but I don't eat it anymore. Also, I always come of the air-conditioned restaurant smelling like the food I just ingested. And, my hair will end up smelling like that the rest of the day.
1) Claypot Chicken ($6), the only dish worth having here. The rice has a nice charred smoky flavour, the chicken is succulent and well-marinated, and the preserved Chinese sausages (lup cheong) add flavour.
2) Claypot Ipoh Kway Teow ($6), was a little disappointing. The kway teow wasn't very smooth and the soup was a little MSG-ish. He didn't finish this.
