On our monthly gathering of the '38' aunties, we have decided a good buffet could soothe out all the exam fevers. For every stress there will be a dish to compensate the pain we were being put under. The deal is good. $33 per pax for buffet dinner at the chic location.
The restaurant is not difficult to find and the entrance to the hotel is right opposite the pick-up point of Paragon. Carpeted lushly with plush decorations of couches for the small bar area, the restaurant spanning about 1500 Sq Ft is fitted with a open concept kitchen directly located next to the buffet table and dining area of about 200 pax with huge glassed windows for the astounding view of night-time orchard road.
Its a mixture of ala cart buffet and self serve. The first booth i attacked would surely be the salad bar. It has a good array of various salad and their dressing, my favourite, the balsamic vinaigrette. Along with the veg, you can find sushi, smoked salmon, octopus salad and many more yummy stuffs to start of the delightful dinner.
Right next to it, you could custom order a pizza, handmade and baked on the spot. There were 4 flavors to choose from yet the highly recommended one which is a teriyaki pork one is too sweet for our liking. Down the road, you could find Dim Sum also, pick what you like and they will warm it up for you. The dumplings made with fresh crunchy prawns that are so tastily made. Not forgetting the laksa, mee siam and mee rubus, noodle section. The laksa is extremely delicious, not too spicy yet flavourful and yummy.
You could also order a combination plate of pork belly, char siew, duck meat and chicken. The pork belly is extremely yummy, soft yet extremely crispy on the skin. I must say the pork belly is super yummy. The charsiew was the most disappointing, its cold, hard and not flavorful. You could also order some claypot dishes. We had braised beef, tendons and also claypot rice with preserved sausages that was yummy.
The dessert counter was a pretty delight with a good choice of chocolate fudge cakes, strawberry cake, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, tarts and cut fruits of various types to choose from. Not forgetting Ice-cream and premium coffee to wash it all down.
Love the service, always friendly, quick and smiling the staff clears our plates so quickly and I kinda was impressed by this one thing. Thats if we didn't like something because its not yummy like the Char Siew, the staff asked us if we still wanted it and cleared it voluntarily without giving us a guilt treat over wasting. This is precious and extremely professional. I guess being educated with many buffet experiences we are more than willing to finish up all we have taken except if the food was un downable.
Great place to have dinner, excellent service and very good food. Reasonable price too

Situated on the nostalgia lane of a peaceful part of geylang leading towards the Aljunied MRT Station, amidst the aroma of Otah Otah and Steamed Dim Sum a most interesting restaurant humbly sits in the silent, serving its vegetarian customers meatless cuisines that is both healthy and refreshing.
Yes Natural Restaurant is one place that charms me with simplicity and serenity. Clean tinted glass door with down to earth interior deco. Simple menu with a whole page dedicated to brown rice dishes and descriptions so vivid, I could totally imagine how the dish could turn out. Yes, I had lunch here and I am sure I will come back for more.
We took not too long to decide what we would have as we were unfamiliar with vegetarian food yet the staff was friendly enough to give us a good introduction of what was yummy, as such we went forward to order and we were served pretty quickly.
We ordered a noodles with almond sauce which is quite a delight as it was pretty tasty and the sauce went well with the well cooked noodles and crunchy Dou Miao.
The korean stone wok brown rice with mushroom, chye sim and pumpkin was not so well done as the rice got a little over done with the hot stone pot, pumpkin not soft enough and dish not tasty enough, though we stirred it once it came to spread the heat evenly. Otherwise I think it could be pretty interesting.
The monkey head mushroom braised with cashew nuts were interesting. It kinda have the texture of Kung Pao Chicken Diced in dried chilli and this interesting mushroom had such a meaty texture, for a while i thought i was having chicken. The dish is well executed and taste strong which went well with the brown rice.
The advocado shake was just advocado with ice and shaked... like it says, i was half expecting milk shake kinda taste but it was not and the portion for this drink is a little small.
Service was prompt and it seemed to me that the staffs were all fair looking with almost flawless skin and that made me wonder.... If I should turn vegetarian... Seriously... that could save alot of SKII, Facials, Diamond Peels, Botok and beauty can truly come from within.
The meal for 2 set us back for about $39 in all, though the seats were not so comfy but the air inside the restaurant was clean and not greasy, pretty comfortable for some serene catchup with friends. Plenty of space but I realised we were all made to seat at one side.... Its a great experience I must agree, Will return with friends for a anti-meat date.

Asian Fusion Restaurant seemed confusing. Asia itself is a multicultural fusion of the chinese, indian, paranakan, malay and minority races and I can understand why the term fusion is used, we mean to mix a little western style into this eastern cuisines. Yes, you can find them here in Noodle Around.
First, they have free wifi, which is really good for students and those who wants to connect while they dine which is why we are here in the first place. The place is spacious with many seats available and we chose a nice corner which they kindly showed us to with ample space for our bulky bags. (Yes.... most ladies do carry their kitchen sink with them). The staffs were friendly and helpful to introduce to us what is yummy on the menu and were patient with the many questions our friends enquired.
We decided on some snacks and the good old prawn noodle with pork ribs dried that came with a bowl of noodles. The prawn noodles were delicious, though the portion came a little too small for even the appetite of girls, yet they kindly refilled our soup as it was sooo tasty we slurped them all up.
The porkchop we ordered arrived in dismay though the meat is yummy and well made, the portion again was too small. However we spyed our neighbour who were having the hot pots were enjoying themselves very much, as such, perhaps we should try the Hot Pots the next time round. Its not exactly worth the price though the ingredients looked fresh. The portion has to be improved on, otherwise, everything is good. The prawn soup really yummy.

I've finally got my chance to dine in this restaurant. One early sunday, we've got the chance to pop by and most importantly find a sit in this not so tiny but always crowded place.
I've always wanted to try the vietnamese baguette and I finally did it. I ordered a 5 spice flavoured baguette that came rather quickly halfed into a basket.
The bread was exceptionally crispy on the outside and well the inside was a mixture of tangy salad with very flavourful pork belly. Chewy and soft. The refreshing salad and the flavourful pork works well together and most importantly while I eat the bread its not so huge that I have to max up my mouth or split the bread into halves before i can eat it.
Wash it down with some lemon soda, extremely interesting tasting and not to mention zesty refreshing. I think they could have added some lemongrass or lemon leaves to this lemon soda as I am more overpowered by the lemony aroma then the acidic taste of the lemon. The concoction was powerful and memorable.
Its a pretty reasonably priced place to dine in and the noodles looked yummy too, they have a good choice of regular viet street fairs to choose from, so take your time to order and pay at the cashier. Collect your chopsticks and serviettes and enjoy the many sauces on display.
Casual dining with great food but sitting is very tight and always crowded so avoid during peak hours and with big groups as it is usually not so condusive. Like a busy jap road side restaurant. You sit eat and then go. no talking no hoarding of seats.

If you enjoy a good brew of Icy Cold Beer in several sizes, this is the place to be in. On a cool cool evening, you might choose to enjoy the natural greenery of alfresco dining, otherwise into the air-conditioned dining area is the place to hang in.
They whip up a delicious menu of various beverages such as multiple types of beers and their concoction, wines and non-alcoholic drinks. The food is outrageously GERMAN with huge and thick sausages of all shape, size and colour, not to mention those that are too hard to even sink your fork in. Yes....i know... thats probably what German's are made of. In the midst of the brut german cuisines, you can find a slightly asianic delight, the crispy pork knuckle which is a really good influence "wherever that came from" ! The skin well fried, crispy yet not oily and meat tender and juicy and definitely goes well with the beer. I must say the hot wet pork knuckle is definitely a better choice then the hard and dry sausages.
We had one sausage that came with the cold cut platter, which is a for 3 platter that is served off a slice of tree trunk made into a long and large plate. We had 5 of these sausages and it kinda resembles the cantonese lup cheong, you can imagine the dried up, wrinkled and spotty look with clumps of fat and its really awful that they serve it as a cold cut, matter of fact, i can't really cut. Worst our friend with dentures had so much to chew it as these sausage jerkies made his dentures go out of place all the time. The other stuffs that came with the platter was good and stinky... Well for the stinky part would have to be the blue cheesed based spread that goes on the bread.
The beer is superbly good and in between getting drunk and farting at our straight faced neighbours, we decided on this theory of the Beer Character!
Original Münchner Lager - Light Yellowish brew = The touch rugby drinker, you touch and go, social pretence is getting you nowhere
Affensaft - Weissbier with banana syrup or mango juice. = The wimpy fruit juice diluted breed
Bayrischer Longdrink - Original Munchner Lager with vodka and lime juice = you love beer, you love the kick in vodka, You are a kickass!
Schwarzer - Weissbier with cola. = Oh how boring can you be!
Dunkel Hefe - Weissbier in a 1 LITRE monster mug = You're the man who loves a good beer..... and before you know it, you visit the loo more often then you should... I bet you don't drink as much water everyday!

We were walking aimlessly one sat afternoon trying to find some decent dessert at the basement of the central mall when we decided to just pick a spot to sit and rest. The snow shaved ice-kacang lookalike dessert attracted me and we ended up here, though the Fried Chicken opposite this outlet tempted us, we held fast to our diet plans and decided something watery and sweet and we could share would be great.
The menu was a confusion of many stuffs with sets and is slightly sticky... So I've decided on the snow shaved ice in black forest flavor (my fav) and while we ordered, we were told the flavors were out only greentea redbean was available. So we ended up having that, a cuppa coffee each. I guess the snacks and double boiled rice sets are nice as we watch our neighbours eating them.
The coffee arrived, it was average machine type, no wow factor but the snow shaved ice is pretty interesting.. Its shaved and its really flaky and soft like as a shaved ice-cream. Creamy and light and does not melt down so quickly like the ice kacang. The red bean is not generous but enough for us, though it gets a little messy eating this, i instantly fell in love with snow shaves...
The seats were tight and not comfy, no cushion thats if you have a bony bum and it does gets a little too noisy when its crowded... Theres only one staff on duty and thus we don't expect much service yet the tables are pretty clean, less the menu which was sticky. Pretty good experience.

We were wondering around for a good dessert to complete the meal and was called towards the colourful display cabinet of tantalizing shelfful of beautiful decorated fruit tarts. Unlike the normal bakery fruit tarts, these are huge tarts sliced into 8-12 portions with mouth watering cross sections full displaying the vivid coloured contents.
It was not nice salivating at the display cabinet as such we proceeded in to seat and view the menu. The menu serves up a good selection of cakes, pastries and tea however without the appropriate pictures, we very much could not relate them with the beautiful tarts at the display, as such we ordered the tarts at the display while we return to the menu for our accompanying tea. They do carry a good array of floral and fruit teas as well as japanese styled fusion tea.
We decided on some flavors that we find best suited to the tarts we ordered as there is a all day long set promo of a pot of tea with a tart. The teas were aromatic, very fragrant yet tasted light and refreshing. The tarts were fruity with layers of cream or custard and thick and crumbly crust. Extremely yummy. We love the pumpkin flavored tart the best. It is tasted of the sweet and rather raw and natural flavor of the pumpkin yet the sweetish custard pairs well with it.
There are ample seats for large groups and though there is always a queue, i'm sure you can find seat amongst the ample space. Service is pretty good, staff is friendly and helpful yet they looked mostly understaffed. Enjoy the great tasting and beautiful tarts and I'm even thinking of having it as a birthday cake one of these faithful birthdays.....

Affliated to the WOOLOOMOOLOO STEAKHOUSE, the chop house is famous for their chops of meat and draft beers. Its a pretty interesting place to dine in, with high tables and chairs as well as romantic tables for two, not forgetting the cool alfresco dining complete with the smell of sea and lasers from Sentosa. I love the setting and the ambience with wooden furnitures smoothened down at the edges with cracks and beside the high table we are settled on is a beer tap with 2 types of brews that can be made available for special occasions. I mean how cool is that to have beer taps right next to your table for you to self-serve.
The menu has got a good variety of carefully grilled steaks, chunks of meat, seafood, pasta and burgers. Something interesting caught my eye, SWEET POTATO CHIPs. Yes, orange, crispy and sweet and of course best eaten when its piping hot from the wok. The other stuffs we ordered are yummy as well such as the mixed grill which is a good portion of steak, lamb, pork chops with some greens. The ingredients used fresh and culinary methods good, retaining the juiciness within while creating a crispy outside.
The beer is beyond anything i've tried, they do have a few flavors for us to try, while if you like something light, they do have one called the PURE BLONDE - which is a low carb brew.. Best for ladies like me and if you like strong, you must try the SCHNEIDER WEISSE TAP 7 which is a wheaty dark brew. Order anything before 9pm is happy hour price which is a good $2 cheaper however, once you start with their artisan crafted beer, its pretty hard to stop at one.
Its a nice place with yummy food and good beer, most importantly it does not stink up your clothes. So if you are looking for a place to indulge in a meaty affair and some good beer, this is where you should go.
Price wise is slightly high and service is attentive and efficient. Seating is good for groups and the place takes noise well so if you are there with some chatty friends, its okay to get high and talk a little too loud.

126 搵到食, is a pretty catchy name for an old-timers dim sum restaurant. I heard alot about it and also the notorious queue that is fending me from visiting the outlet though I love dim sum alot....
So one faithful morning of a public holiday, me and me pals have decided to drop by for a late morning brunch that apparently made us waited for a good one hour before the food arrived.
Though the queue was short, we still took about half an hour before we could get this crampy seats inside the air-conditioned area. The seating area is comfy and very squeezy HK like with people consistently walking around.. Getting shoved, jabbed and elbowed is a common thing here, however, it makes up for the HongKong like Char Chan Teng culture. Its noisy, aircon pretty strong to keep everybody cool headed and the menu for ordering is thick like a photo album. For a good 8 hungry breakfast goers... we ordered 23 dishes with an assortment of steamed and deep fried stuffs. Drinks came in plastic (Dou Hua) containers and sorry... no coffee or potted tea is served... Tables are tiny yet its kinda cosy and fun.
Ordering took us about 15 mins and we waited for 15 mins before our first order arrived. The fried stuffs came first then slowly the steamed stuffs arrived... The food is pretty nice, ingredients fresh, however filling are just right, though below my expectations... there is no WOW Factor in their food.
Some of the food that we ate and how we liked it.
1) Har Kow & Siew Mai - according to dim sum lovers world wide, these 2 dishes is the must have and the benchmark to gauging if its a good dim sum place. Though the filling is fresh and crunchy, skin thin, yet it lacks the wow factor. It just tasted kinda better then normal.
2) Char siew bao - HK styled of course with the flower topped looked tasted regular only, filling could have been a little more generous
3) Xiao Long Bao - Looked Tiny to me, skin is rather thick and non elastic, and theres no soup in the bao... So its kinda dry and not so tasty.
4) Nai Huang (Salted Egg) Bao - Tasted more like custard to me, the filling is dry and the bao so tiny.
5) Chicken Feet - This is nice and yummy, well braised and skin chewy, pretty well done.
For a group of 8 and moderate eating, the bill came up to be about $95 which is a good price for brunch!
Service is good, I mean for a place like this, we would expect angry faces and loud rude shoves and shouts yet it is not so. Staff is helpful, friendly and extremely efficient. This I am WOWed....
So I'm sure to return though the food is only slightly above average, they made it up with efficient and friendly service.

If you love a good view of greenery while you lunch, then this is the place to be. A new fringe-less concept on unbinding greenery that boost of the breathtaking rusty natural environment of the Rochester Park area with the comfort of the cool air-con, no mozzies and rain free indoor sitting is the best for both comfort and relaxation.
This food court serves up not just a good view, spacious and ample seating areas, it also has a great selection of local and interesting foreign cuisines. The selections of cuisines includes the ever so yummy local chicken rice, laksa, mixed veg rice, fried noodles, also exotic Indonesian and Filipino selections. There is something for everyone and priced at a pretty affordable rate. I've not tried all the food here, but appraising the ones i've tried its normally good with no exceptional WOW- Factors. But the dining environment and cleanliness is nothing but commendable.
Its a great place to lunch with friends or have casual business meetings as the environment holds noise well and have sitting areas that are pretty private. Its well planned and very conducive for large groups of people. One thing I must mention is that the drinks counter serve up an extremely good coffee set. The coffee is aromatic, thick and nice and the toast.. They have this baguette toast which is one of the best I've tasted. The skin roughened and crispy while the kaya and the hard butter makes the most potent combination.
I will mostly just attack the coffee and toast with 2 soft boiled eggs. Its potently delicious. Breath in the beautiful landscape and wisp of cool air-con mixed with the aromatic taste of piping hot coffee, we will realised that Its the simple things that make us happy.
