    1802. Dragon Gate Restaurant   
       13 Jan 2008 at 12:06 am
    ladyironchef ladyironchef says:

    The first time i went to the place did not find it too easily, it is at level 4 of harbour front just beside the car park. The evaluators do not go to level 4, so highly take the lift.

    Similar to wad the previous post Bubblesky has said, Dragon Gate like most Dim-sum restaurants, there is the usual range of dim-sum such as; har gow (shrimp dumplings), char siew baos, siew mai, char siew sou, luobogao (carrot cakes), xiaolongbaos, and many more. There is particularly more deep-fried type of Dim-sum available. The menu also have some dishes like sweet-sour pork, chicken, fried veggies and some other stuff.

    After two rounds of dim-sum ordering, boy was i full. Considering the fact that if you go to a normal dim-sum restaurant ordering dim-sum would be at least $2 per plate. At $12 plus per person, it is a steal for the all-you-can-eat dim sum buffet.

    Sakura is being located in ommi centre, beside the science centre in jurong. A pretty strange place to locate a restaurant if you asked me. Ommi centre does not have rather much visitors, but when i reached sakura, it is quite crowded despite the place being a little hard to reach.

    The buffet lunch is $20 nett, which i believe is rather cheap for a buffet lunch, and $26 nett for buffet dinner. There are sushi, desserts, fried-stuff, salads, fruits, free flow of drinks. In addition, there is a place serving chicken chops, lamp chops, beef, prawn, fish, all cook on the spot, u'll have to put a clip(which has yr table no on it) at the food that u wan. After which, the chef will cook on the spot, and the waiters will serve it to your table.

    Although the food cannot be describe as heavenly, but i believe at 20 bucks per person, it is considered value for money, after all there are buffets that cost much and taste less

    Went to Pepper lunch with a couple of friends a while ago. First impression, it this a fastfood restaurant or is it a japanese restaurant. Well, its both actually.

    The Q was'nt too long, and very soon we ordered our food at the counter.
    I ordeded the set meal chicken which comes at $8.80, while my friends ordered salmons, and beef.

    What was special about the food, was its packaging. The sizzling hot-plates all came with a paper wrapped round it to teach you how to savour its meals.

    Overall, i found the food to be anything but special, that is ordinary. But if you didn't went before, it is worth well going once for the sizzling hot plates. However, be WARNED, the pepper lunch smell will be with you after finishing the meal : )

    Having stay in Holland before for about 10 years, i can say i grew up with this coffee shop (cant remember how many years it had opened though), its used to be just below my block.

    Holland V Fish Head Bee Hun, needless to say it is famous for its XO Fish Head Bee Hun. Somehow my family feels that when the store was not so famous, the food tasted better. When the store become more well-known, the boss becomes a bit cocky and proud.

    Having said all that, one of the dish that i liked from the store is its prawn-paste chicken. Its one of the best i had tasted before, so go on try it if you visit the coffee shop.

    O well, although the boss is a bit cocky and all that stuff, Holland V Fish Head Bee Hun remains to be one of the more famous stores in Holland V

    1806. Yum Cha Restaurant   
       12 Jan 2008 at 11:43 pm
    ladyironchef ladyironchef says:

    Had Business lunch at Yum Cha restaurant, one of the more commonly recognize Dim-Sum restaurant in Singapore probably due to their TV advertisements. The other one which will come to my mind thinking of dim-sum will be Fortunate Restaurant also because of their TV adverts.

    The menu was done up very nicely and shows colorful, attractive pictures of the dim-sum. The place was quite full, so we had to wait a while before the food was served.

    The Dim-sum taste and looks good, price is reasonable i guess, although u cant compare it with a dim-sum buffet. We had cheong fun, carrot cake, xiaolongbao, glutinous rice in lotus leaf, chicken giant bun, steamed bean curd skin roll, steamed pork ribs, har gao, century egg congee, fried vegetarian spring roll.

    Quite a wide range of dim-sum available, too many for you to taste it all : )

    Hmm, came here to "chill out"or rather to have someplace for a drink and chat after we had our dinner at Alaturka.

    We only had drinks there, milo, tea, coffee. Had a quick glance at the menu, quite agree with the previous blurber shu yen that it is quite a rip off. Hot drinks are at $1.20, while ice drinks are at $2.50 and above. I had hot milo, while the ice milo because it has ice cost $1.30 more? Since when did ice become so expensive?

    The menu had quite a variety of Hong Kong cafe food, but the price are rather high. I mean although its a restaurant, but its just selling Hong Kong cafe food which is not really worth that much of a price. Instant noodle with luncheon meat and egg, i can cook that for you at home, i just charge $2? ( : O well, cant really comment on the food because we did not order any

    Well well, we wanted to try something more exotic because was getting a bit bored of eating chinese, western, and jap food. Alaturka serves a sort of combination of turkish and mediterranean cuisine. I had make a reservation in advance, and they saved their best seat for us, which even had a roof that can be open so that we can look at the sky. So rule number one always make reservation before you go. We took a while before we can decide what to order because all of us did not try turkey food before.

    The kofte ($13.00) which was grilled lamb with rice and vege. Turkey really can cook their lamb, or at least at Alaturka they do it well. 4.5 out of 5

    The Etlipide ($11.50) which was baked bread with chicken. Pretty good, i think its quite similar to Italy pizza, but if you had it as main course, its not really filling. 3.5 out of 5

    Adana chicken Kebab ($13.00), it has grilled chicken kebab with rice and vege. 3.5 out of 5

    The Iskender Kebab ($15.00) chicken with yogut. Hmm, it has lots of chicken, but then being the most expensive dish among us, it has no rice, so ordered one rice pilaf at $1.50. Not too bad, but considering it with the other dishes, the price a bit higher. 3.5 out of 5

    The Kuzupirzola ($14.00) which was lamb chop with rice and vege. Although i do not eat lamb often, but the lamb chop here was good enough for me. Alaturka really do their lamb well service. 4.5 out of 5

    All in all, lamb is well done here, the chicken kebabs are also not bad, quite a number of variety of kebab and Ottoman specials they called it. No air-con, but hey come on, for the reasonable price and good food its worth it. If you want something special, Alaturka is the place for you.

    1809. Waraku (The Central)

    ladyironchef ladyironchef says:

    Waraku Japanese casual pasta & cafe restaurant at Central. First impression the restaurant was quite nicely decorated, the staff was enthu, mayb too-enthu for my delight. They will say welcome loudly to everyone who came. And sometimes out of nothing they will shout some jap greetings. I mean it is good to be polite, but isn’t this a little over? Besides, it is all right to say greetings in jap but at least yr jap have to sound nice? Some waitress jap does not sound too good to the ear. Think the management should ask diners comments on this

    Donald had the Kaminabe Wazen ($19.80), kaminabe sounds like some foul word? haha. Anyway, it has sliced beef & vegetables cook with soup in paper pot, fresh salmon sashimi, and deepfried assortment of vege and prawn, rice The sliced beef and vege in spicy soup, the soup is refreshing to drink, donald (beef lover) say the beef is very nice, so it must be nice. Quite special to put it in paper pot.

    The sliced beef and vege in spicy soup, the soup is refreshing to drink, don(beef lover) say the beef is very nice, so it must be nice. Quite special to put it in paper pot. Fried Prawn and vege, looks and taste nice. Onli one miserable prawn, should have give more. I am not really a sashimi eater so cannot judge whether fresh or not. Overall this dish i would give it 4 out of 5

    I had the TonkatsuWazen ($15.50) which is pork cutlet set meal i guess. It has pork cutlet (obviously), salad, rice, pickles seaweed with soup noodles. The main character, pork cutlet, cripsy is the word to describe. At some places after eating pork cutlet you will feel the after-effect of being thirsty and stuff like that, but this one wont. The cutlet is also fried jus nice, not too bland and not too salty. Plus my fav healthy servings of vege to go along with it. The seaweed with soup noodles, one big bowl of it, two person to finish it, Noodles taste all right. Tonkatsu set (pork cutlet) gets 3.5 out of 5 because i prefer donald set. As simple as that

    Overall the whole restaurant feel, donald say is 3.5, but i think i would give it 4 out of 5, pretty decent price and the food is not too bad, jus that i think the management should improve on the restaurant service, too much shouting around is not music to my ears while i am having my dinner. I had a coupon from them after paying the bill, its gives quite a good discount, BUT, the big but, it is onli limited to 1 coupon per table per bill basis. That means i can use coupon but my friend cant?

    1810. Epicurious

    Epicurious is another small eatery along Robertson Quay that I've tried. It's really hard to find! You have to walk all the way to the end, near the bridge. It's facing the river with some seats outside and just 3 tables inside.

    I love the ambience. It's very cosy with warm lights around. There are shelves all filled with little knick knacks from the past. There are also photographs of Singapore in the early days.. It was certainly fun looking through everything. So fun that it distracted me from ordering. Luckily I had a companion who was more focused. The items are for sale but they are expensive.. like $6 for a soup spoon..

    The only thing which was odd about the place was Jay Chou singing loudly from the kitchen. Luckily we did kinda like Jay so it wasn't bad. But it certainly didn't fit in with the place.

    The menu was a little small with few items but apparently they change the items on the menu from time to time so new items will be up for tasting eventually.

    I had the Herb Roasted Half Chicken that day. It was served with baked potatoes and mushrooms. The chicken was well marinated and the meat just tastes of the herbs. It was yummy and I'm still thinking of it. Although I hate having to separate meat from bones but I certainly tried hard that night to get my yummy meat. The serving was definitely more than enough for me.

    I'd have to agree that $55 for 2 mains and a dessert does seem a little ex but I think it's really worth it! I would definitely be back... to try the Muthu's Flourless Chocolate Cake which was sold out that day :)
