    Was at this outlet a couple of weeks ago.. As compared to the outlet at Raffles City, I felt that the service here was seriously much better. Firstly, instead of you having to fin your seats, they will usher you to your seats and let you have a choice of seats if the place isn't very crowded.

    Secondly, the staff service was prompt and helpful in explaining some of the items on the menu to us. Thirdly, the staff brought two glasses of iced water to us even without us asking for it and somemore, iced water could be taken on your own from the bread counter as I saw later.

    So I ordered a set of CRISPY COMBO, which was a Golden combination of crispy fried chicken fish fillets, prawn dippers, rodeo wings, mixed vegs & fries comes with 2 dips, B.B.Q. sauce & chef's special sauce ( which I think is mayo mixed with abit of wasabi). I must say that the food also tasted better than that at Raffles City.

    So overall, I would give it a thumbs up and go back for more if the crowd is nt that huge. Lastly, from time to time, they have special promotions for credit card payments, so do check it out with the staff when you are paying your bill.

      If memory serves me correct, I have only eaten twice in that restaurant and both times, I left with a not so good impression.

      The first time round, was with a grp of polymates. And one of the guy's meal came only after everyone were already halfway through their meals and his order was nothing complicated that required a long time to prepare.

      The second time, again the same thing happened. And like what Polarbear had mentioned, the only thing nice there is perhaps the bread, which is free flow. But hey cmon, I go there nt to just eat bread loh!!!

      SO overall, I dnt think I would go back to this outlet anymore till their standards improve.

      Ytd was at the Starbucks Raffles City to talk abt some insurance thingy with agent and gf. SO after we were done, gf nated to eat at the Cafe Cartel next door. So despite the poor experiences I had in the past I decided to give it one more chance. But still they disappointed me. I ordered two dishes but they only keyed in one!!! Luckily I discovered it quite early on else I would have been sitting there waiting in vain for my meal. So therefore, its proven to me that this outlet's service still is nt up to standard and needs lots of improvement.

        Last visited this place abt two months ago for a fren's birthday chalet. Basically, the place didnt change much since years ago, thou a new cineplex is coming up at the end of teh year I think. Maybe by then things will get better.

        Over there, nthg much to do except going to casino, Wild Wild Wet and Downtown East Theme Park, which I think is a waste of money cos the games aint that exciting and yet the queue can be quite long.

        Also, the swimming pool in the chalet area is pathetically small!!! ANd with kids all playing aound in the same pool, one can't really do any serious swimming.

        Overall, I would say the chalet facilities are just normal, with a small TV, a fridge and the beds are like so small. In addition, the walls are actually nt that thick and if one listens intently, u can actually pick out parts of the conversation going on in the next door. LOL.

        So hopefully when the new cineplex is up, things will be much better with more entertainment amenities.

          Was at IKEA Tampines on Sunday to see see look look. Wanted to try out the meatballs recommended by my colleague, who has been talking abt it. So the first thing I did was to go and find the Swedish meatballs at the cafe. Upon reaching, I saw that the crowd was quite big, with a lot o fthe 3-tier trolleys lying around and blocking the passageway. In addition, there were people who were hoarding the seats even though they were already done with their meal.

          The queue itself was quite alrite, thou it did take me sometime before I got out of it. Just bought the Swedish meatballs. It was ok, nt really that fantastic as I thought it was.

          May go back and try the other foods on a weekday perhaps instead to avoid the crowd.

            Was at this restaurant during Father's day. My sister had previously eaten at this place with her colleagues and found it to be good so we decided to go there and try t out.

            Indeed the food was not bad. During the lunch period, you could opt either the tim sum buffet (30 items) or the chinese dishes buffet (50 items). As fo dinner buffet (yet to try till now), there was only the chinese dishes buffet available.

            While we were there, we opted for the tim sum buffet. The food was served promptly and the servings were fairly large. The taste of the 虾饺， 烧卖，猪肠粉，etc were good too and juicy and fresh. Just to add on, even though we had ordered the tim sum buffet, we did still ordered a couple of the chinese dishes on an ala carte basis. And I must say the chinese dishes were well worth the money too. The price list is as shown:

            Buffet Lunch
            11.30am - 2.30pm (Last Order at 2pm)

            Tim Sum - 30 Items at only
            $11.80 Per Pax (Mon-Fri)
            $14.80 Per Pax (Sat, Sun, Eve of Public Holidays & Public Holidays)

            Chinese Dishes - 50 Items at only
            $20.80 Per Pax (Mon-Fri)
            $22.80 Per Pax (Sat, Sun, Eve of Public Holidays & Public Holidays)

            Buffet Dinner
            6.30pm - 10.30pm (Last Order at 9.30pm)

            Chinese Dishes - 50 Items at only
            $21.80 Per Pax (Mon-Fri)
            $23.80 Per Pax (Sat, Sun, Eve of Public Holidays & Public Holidays)

            However, do take note that this restaurant is really uite crowded,especially on occassions like Mother's Day, Father's Day. So do make a reservation before going down, cos' I really did see them turning people away who did not make a reservation when I was there.

              The dim sum was terrible and I'm speaking from eating there 5 times in the last 8 years. 8 years ago it was decent. Now its getting worse.
