$2.50 gets you a reasonably sized portion of Orh Nee, about a small bowl full of it, like in any Teochew restaurant. The paste was smooth and a little watery, but I found the flavours rather lacking. It wasn't as robust as I would have liked it to be and it just didn't ooze goodness like the Orh Nee I had at Huat Kee. The Gingko nuts were dull and tasteless. But its just about the best Orh Nee you can find in any Hawker Centre in the CBD area at least. So do try it if you are in the vicinity and have a craving.
Finally tried the Onde Onde. $2.20 bought me 5 bite size pieces of Onde Onde. The skin was soft and chewy and coated with lots of coconut shreds with the interior filling of Gula Melaka not too thick or sweet. Quite good.

However, the Durian Puffs are really good and undoubtedly live up to their reputation. The pastry is soft and fluffy, even after being left in the fridge for some time. The durian filling is simply finger licking good. Made from D24 durians, it is smooth and sweet, yet doesn't come on as being too strong or overwhelming. There's quite a huge durian filling between the pastries so you can be sure of a durian overload. Try it to believe!

The Char Siew Pao's skin was nice and soft with just the right amount of bite. The Char Siew filling was not too sweet, which was a good thing, but I would have preferred less fatty meat in it. It also lacked the slightly roasted taste that good Char Siews should have.
As with the Char Siew Pao, the Dao Sa Pao's skin was nice and soft and the filling was rather smooth and not too sweet as well. I personally prefer this to the Char Siew Bao. It could do with an increase in size though, because both Paos are really small for the price. Stuffing 2 Paos at one go doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

Situated along Shenton Way, Checkers now sits where Partyworld Shenton used to partially sit (I'm not sure if Partyworld is still operational though). The interior is simple and the crew friendly. The air conditioning could be upped a little though.
International Delight - I had a craving for breakfast items, so I had the International Delight, which was essentially French toast, waffles, eggs, bacon and sausages. Everything was as normal as they get, with the exception of the waffles, which had a rather odd aftertaste. But all in all, it did satisfy my cravings.
Apple Pie with Ice Cream - Decent tasting, but nothing close to good. The apple pie was not warm as I would have expected it to be and the ice cream was obviously from the supermarket.
Overall it wasn't too expensive and the food offered no surprises nor disappointments. The good thing about this place is that it opens 24hrs a day and only closes on Tuesdays, so if you need a place to chill out till the wee hours of the morning, this might just fit your bill.

We were very surprised by the size of the Fondues when they arrived. The single Fondue set was actually meant for 2 pax, whereas the double Fondue set was meant for 3-4 pax! And all the while, we thought a double set was only meant for 2! The variety of ingredients was much better than that of Max Brenners. However, only one type of Chocolate was given, as compared to three given by Max Brenners.There was Ice Cream, Bananas, Marsh mellows, Peaches, Crushed Nuts and Strawberries. The Chocolate was quite concentrated and sinfully sweet.
The Waffle was undoubtedly the star of the day. Crisp and decadent with the generous drizzle of Chocolate Syrup and the smooth home made Chocolate Ice Cream. Size is also not an issue here. The waffle is huge.
All in all, the desserts cost us to the tune of $44.75/-, which was a little on the high side. It is still slightly cheaper as compared to other outlets which offer similar products, but my main peeve is that service charge is levied when there is not much service to speak about. Not that the wait staff are unfriendly or what, but I had to pour and refill my iced water myself, walk up to the counter to order and make payment as well. So whereabouts does the service come from?
