This is a newly opened outlet of The Mind Cafe, in fact, it was only opened on last Friday. This probably explains why I didn't see the typical weekend crowd typical of the other 2 outlets when I went on last Sunday.
Since there's 6 of us, we took up the sixers' package which includes 6 drinks, 3 snackers & 2 munchies and 2 hrs of boardgames. Heez...
So what games did we play? As most of my friends were 1st-timer in boardgame, the staff recommended some beginners' games such as Jurassic Jumble to us. It was fun! But if you are a more`experienced boardgamer, you can always try out intermediate or advanced games which requite more thinking & strategies. Some of my faourite games played include Coda, Abalone & Taboo.There's in fact too many games for you to choose!
On the overall, I like the place for its service & helpful staff as well as the entire experience in the boardgame cafe. It's definitely a great place for group gatherings!

I have already been to a couple of Sushi Tei outlets but I still like this outlet the most. The reason being that it consists of 2 storeys, with the upper storey more cosy & comfortable for casual dining as you will need to remove your shoes before sitting at the table. Furthermore, there's also more pfrivacy for bigger groups on the upper level as there's partitions separating the tables.
Coming to their food. For their rice & noodles, I find them quite normal, nothing very special. It is in fact their sushi & other side dishes which attract me so much.
Their sushi are very fresh and among all, my favourites include Golden roll and the umagi. The Golden roll is basically sushi rice wrapped around a big fried prawn and then topped up with mango slices. Sweet & a little sour taste from the mango plus the crispy,succulent prawn. Gd combination! As for the umagi, or I simply call it the eel omelette, I like the combination of the sweetness from the sweet omelette & that of the eel. I find it quite special.
They will also come up with various season promotion. Like for now, they have this Hokkaido promotion where they serve hairy crab. So if you are interested, you can look out for their various promotions at different times of the year.
On the overall, what makes my colleagues & I go back for so many times is not just the food but the service as well. We do not have to wait very long to be served & the waitresses are prompt in refilling our green tea. It's a great experience dining there!

Dropped by Epicurious, one of the lesser known outfits dotting Roberton Quay, for a late dinner. Interestingly, the word epicurious stems from the words epicure, which is used to describe someone with refined taste, especially in food and wine and curious.
Occupying just a small unit along the bustling Roberston Walk, Epicurious does mostly al fresco seating with the exception of 3 small tables in its tiny interior which seem to suffer from cooling problems (read. Where's the airconditioning?) The al fresco area has big blower fans to cool the area though, which is probably why people usually choose to sit outside instead of inside (from my observations).
Epicurious Burger - Read many good things about the burger so thought I would give it a shot with the works ($4 for an addition of egg, cheese and bacon) First looks, it didn't come across as impressive as the one from Wild Rocket, especially in the size department. Taste wise was pretty decent though. The beef patty could have been a little less cooked but still managed to retain its juiciness and taste. Add the egg, cheese and bacon in and you get one hearty burger. I didn't like the bread though, which was a little too toasted, rendering it hard. The accompanying fries were just overfried and too salty.
Herb Roasted Half Chicken - The chicken was nice without being too strong on the herbs, a bane that most such dishes suffer from. However, the portions could have been bigger and I personally would have liked it to be a little more sour so as to bring out the contrast.
Hazelnut Cheesecake - Interestingly, the hazelnut cheesecake came topped with strawberries. That aside, it was actually quite good, with the cheese relatively light and airy without being too overwhelming. The base was a concoction of dark chocolate and orange peel, which was certainly something different.
$55 for 2 mains and 1 dessert might seem to be pushing the boundaries for reasonable pricing. But food is pretty decent and the place is rather cosy with good service. Worth a visit if you are in the vicinity and dont want to bust your budget dining at the fancier outfits.

Just for the mango pudding, my friend wanted to have our dinner here. Haha...funny, right? I'll kept the review of the mango pudding to the last part.
I shall start off with the steamboat. Just the 2 of us & so we picked the sichuan spicy soup and the herbal chicken soup. Interesting, the steamboat was served in individual small pots instead of the big steamboat pot one usually sees. The have both cooked and raw food. The cooked food includes local delights such as popiah and rojak as well as others like teppanyaki, roasted chicken, pork rib, sausages. As for the raw food, the spread was surprisingly little. Not alot of variety, it's mainly meat like fish (dory & seabass), pork slice, chicken & beef slice. Seafood wise there's only prawns & crabs. Vegetables not alot too. Others are the typical meatballs you'll find at other steamboat places.
Although the food variety was disappointing, I have to say that the soups were good, especially the herbal chicken soup. Very often, I could smell the soup as I walk pass Suntec Convention Centre. Haha...
The mango pudding was highly recommended by my friend and it turned out to be really good. Its texture, sweetness. Just perfect! They have small fruit tarts, fruits & even DIY ice kacang in the dessert section. I think I'm more into their dessert huh? Haha...
For the price of $25.80/pax, I think it would be more reasonable for them to serve better drinks than just ice water. But i suppose their location & good service (they were really quite at clearing our used plates!) are the reason why they are charging so much.

We were looking for a chinese restaurant in Plaza Singapura. Without many choices, we landed in this restaurant to settle our dinner.
After sitting down, we were served some flower tea and pickles. Later did we realised that the compulsory tea costed $3 while the small dish of pickles costed $2!
For their menu, they have set menus as well as ala carte menu. They even serve hi-tea buffet on weekends & PHs.
Anyway, we ordered 5 dishes which include 'Braised Ox Tendon with Bamboo Shoot and Chilli in Small Wok', 'quick-fried seasonal greens', 'Braised Seasonal Greens
with Fresh Mushrooms', 'drunken chicken' and 'Braised Chicken Balls with Chilli and Parsley'. Most of the dishes tasted pretty normal, not much of a 'wow'. The meal was not satisfying for most of us.
However, their service was good. Their waiters would constantly refill your tea for you & clear off the used plates & replace with new ones.
The bill came up to around $100 for 5 persons, where only 4 dishes were calculated into the bill. All thanks to the credit card promotion. Although the service is good, I think I'll go to other places for better chinese food.
So 2.5 stars for the place.

I was brought to Halia for a celebration. First to start with, it was a long walk from the entrance of botanical garden to the restaurant. But it's always gd to do some exercise before filling up your stomach withy food. Haha...
The restaurant is hidden in the Ginger Garden of Botanical Garden. There's both outdoor and indoor tables available. For a cool & rainy evening, it is ideal to take the outdoor seats (no worries! It's sheltered!) where you can enjoy the cool breeze and the greeneries.
Next come the food. We ordered the recommended crisp black pepper soft shell crab. It came with wasabi aioli but the wasabi taste was not too strong & went well with the crispy oft shell crab. Nice! We also ordered the soup of the day which was cream of aparagus & prawn. The cream was not too thick, just nice to warm up your stomach for the main course. For the main course, I ordered the Hokkaido scallop & prawn linguini (which turned out to be sphagetti) while my partner ordered roasted soy-glazed french duck breast & duck confit. The sphagetti came with a generous serving of fresh, huge scallops & prawns. But the sauce was a little too salty for me. The duck was ok (probably because I'm not a big fan of duck meat), quite tender though. You can even decide how well you want it to be cooked.
Next comes the dessert! We picked a truly sinful but nice one called 'warm bittersweet chocolate torte' which comes with melted hot chocolate in the middle, a scoop of vanilla ice cream & strawberries. It was heavenly! The combination of the bittersweet taste of the chocolate, milky vanilla ice cream & a little sour taste from the strawberries. Oh my god!
It's definitely a nice place to dine in, away from all the high-rise buildings in Singapore.

My friend had a sudden crave for the food here, so we decided to settle our dinner here.
She ordered the eel porridge while I just ordered a plate of xiao bai cai in oyster sauce since I wasn't feeling too hungry then. I had a mouthful of the eel porridge & it tasted quite nice. Sweet porridge. But my plate of vegetables wasn't nice. the xiao bai cai was not xiao (small) at all. Big stalks of the vegetables which were not cut. It made eating quite difficult and the oyster sauce was quite diluted too.
To compensate for the disappointment, we ordered the mango ice to share. It was good! Generous servings of mango on the top. It's definitely worth a try.

It is in fact my first time to do online shopping. Initially, I wasn't too keen in online shopping,especially for clothes as I prefer to try on the clothes to make sure that I can fit into them nicely. But lately, I was introduced to this blog store by my friend & realised that it is quite interesting.
The website provides pictures of models wearing the clothes on sale. Furthermore, they also provide useful information such as the length of clothes, bust diameter, sleeve length, arm hole, stretchability, etc. Very customer-friendly!
From the series, I've picked 2 pieces of clothes. However, only 1 of them was available and it took them quite a while (about 2 weeks) before I was informed. The delivery also took quite some time t arrive (near to 2 months).
On the overall, I like the clothes catalogue, which covers a wide range of clothes from casual wear to office wear. However, their customer service should be improved.

Not too salty. That is the key thing. The soup base is flavourful. I have tried other Sapporo Ramen, this one is quite close to the authentic one that I had in Hokkaido. :D
The char siu melts in your mouth. The eggs are perfectly 80% done. I love the 80% cooked yolk! It's like the Marutama's Ajitsuke Tamago!

I went to their Takeway Kiosk instead of restaurant or cafe at the Raffles City.
Raffles City (Takeaway Kiosk)
252 North Bridge Road #B1-49 S(179103)
I saw them selling Oden! I love Oden!
I bought everything they sell. One strange thing is that they go with Curry sauce. Not the traditional kind that I ate at Takashima basement. The curry is the Jap curry. But I still prefer the traditional kind that goes with the bonito soup base.
