    Holiday Eve... My BF & I not sure where to go. I decide to go E! Hub since we have never go there before. E! Hub at Pasir Ris Downtown East has open a few days ago, it looks big and nice with the lights.

    After walking from Level 4 till basement. My BF & I decide to have our dinner at Superdog to give it a try since we got the coupon from their staffs.

    Looking at the pictures doesn't really attract us at all. After choosing the food from the coupon. We decide to choose 'Deluxe Meal'. Order from the counter and they will serve us. We waitied for about 10 mins and our dinner is serve.

    Deluxe Meal - $18.90 with coupon (UP $27.90)
    Includes 1 Superdog, 1 Bacon Chili Cheese Dog, 1 Breaded Fish N Chips, 1 tall Iced Chocolate and 1 tall pineapple sensation.

    Superdog - It come with soft bun, bratwurst(Pork), bacon, tomatoes, onions and cheese. They grilled the bratwurst and soft bun. It nice and tasty.

    Bacon Chili Cheese Dog - It come with soft bun, hotdog(Beef), bacon, onion and chili cheese sauce. They grilled the hotdog and soft bun. It nice, tasty and abit spicy too.

    Breaded Fish N Chips - The Dory Fish and Fries were serve hot together with tartar sauce. They marinated with abit of pepper and herbs. The fish is not oily, it taste sweet and nice with the tartar sauce. The Fries were nice too.

    Iced Chocolate - Chocolate taste wasn't really strong but overall is not bad

    Pineapple Sensation - It stated Made from Real Honey Pineapple Slices. It a bit sweet and sour, not bad drink.

    After having the dinner, both of us agree that don't judge the food by the pictures. The food was suprise nice and the service was good too.

    They do have some fun facts like; Dos and Don'ts for eating hotdog. Do check out from their website or their branch.

    *Please take note that the foods that they sell may not be Halal as they do sell pork.

    First tried out Ms Clarity way back in 2005/2006 when it first opened and was relatively unknown back then. Used to have their chicken cordon bleu which is essentially chicken stuffed with cheese and ham. There was no crowd then and prices were kept before $10 for a main course. With the publicity generated over the years and the opening of 2 new branches, the standard of food has dipped, prices have increased and the queues are quite insane. Oh did I mention that service is slow as well?

    After a short wait, our dishes arrived and we tucked in. First impressions, the beef I had was very well done and the meat was tender and a little juicy. (I had ordered it medium well)The sides were nothing to shout about though. The hog tail fries tasted like the curly fries from MacDonalds and the salad looked like it could use some sprucing up. I managed to try some of my gf's chicken and it tasted kinda weird with peachy-mangoey sauce on top of the chicken. The sauce tasted like those you would find in puddings.

    My take on this one? The beef is good, but only the beef. Didn't get to try the dessert as we had plans to head on to Haagan Dazs after that. The waitresses were friendly, but a little lacking in service. I ordered a refillable glass of Coke and I had to wait for quite some time to even see a waitress to get it filled up. Nice laid back atmostphere though.

    Nasi Lemak, with roots in Malay culture, when translated literally means 'rice in fat'. The name is derived from the cooking process whereby the grains are soaked in rich coconut cream and then the mixture steamed. While traditionally a breakfast dish, this dish is now found everywhere at every time possible. Mentioned Nasi Lemak and Changi Village Road Food Centre immediately sprang to mind.

    While there are several competitor stalls competing with flashy stall signage, there is only one International Food Stall with its rather plain and simple signage. The queue that morning said it all – this stall is legendary for its long queue, which appears to be perpetually attached to it, come rain or shine. It definitely serves one of the best renditions, with Adam Road’s Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak coming a close second. The Rice is fragrant, moist and subtly sweet – a sign that the coconut milk was thoroughly infused with the rice.

    Because of the stall’s fast turnover, the Chicken Wings are always guaranteed freshly fried – crispy and juicy, and served piping hot. But what definitely caught my tastebud that morning was definitely the Sambal Chilli. A sure winner with its aromatic sweet, yet not so spicy chilli fried with onions that one cannot help but keep helping himself to it.

    This is truly the best rendition I have tried so far! Anyone care to dispute it?

    Visited this place last Sunday with my parents and they have since been relocated to ground level of Liang Court Shopping Centre. Their old outlet has also been taken over by Ichibantei.

    My parents had the usual Black Pig Shabu Shabu Ramen, which I believed most people know they are famous for.

    But what I was looking forward to was their Black Pig Pork Chop which is heavenly! You have to try it to know it. The texture is so tender and soft that it melts the moment you bite it. The $20 for the pork chop cut into 8 pieces might seems ex but definitely worth it. If you have not try it, I urge you to do so! That alone is worth 4 stars!

    After sampling the SHIOK Yakader Chicken Briyani a few months back, people all over has been asking me to try the most famous briyani stall at the other side of Tekka Food Centre instead. The queue at this stall meant nothing as I stood there waiting for 20 minutes. For those who still do not know, this stall is none other than Allauddin’s Briyani (no prize for those who guessed it correctly though).

    For $4.00, what you get is also another plate of orangey red looking plate of Chicken Briyani that gets zero marks for presentation. At least Yakader’s serving came lined with banana leaf, what you get from Allauddin is just a Styrofoam plate with no achar (spicy pickled salad) in sight (not that I eat them anyway but at least visually it looks better).

    In terms of the chicken, I would say they are both pretty similar in terms of taste and texture. So soft and tender was the meat that a simple tear at the lightest pressure of the fork will cause the meat to be easily separated from its bone. However, I will be inclined to find their rice overly moist and mushy from overcooking, as I expect the basmati rice to be slightly more firm and comes with a better bite. Having waited so long, I also decided to add an extra order of what they call “Lamb Cutlet” for additional $1.00 (although I do not see where the cutlet comes from). A nice savoury outer crust that was fried nicely to taste, it was disappointing though to find it soft on the inside with what seems like flour and onions and little of the lamb.

    Overall, I felt that Yakader was the better of the two in terms of chicken briyani, however I would not hesitate to try their mutton next, which was ordered by the customers before me, as it looks pliable and succulent just by the sight of it. As Tekka Food Centre will be re-located to the Temporary Market along Race Course Road from May 1 onwards, Allauddin’s Briyani will be relocated to stall unit #01-189 and #01-190.

    After watching ' Buzzing Cashier ' on channel 8 shows that the stall got 30/30 votes. My BF & I decide to go Tampines Round Market for dinner. The stall is located at a corner, they sell Pork Rib Prawn Noodles at morning and BBQ Seafood at night. Heard that their signature dish is BBQ String Ray & Bean Sauce White Clam.

    We order 1 BBQ String Ray, 1 Stir Fried Nai Bai Vegetables with 2 bowl of White Rice.

    BBQ String Ray - $10
    First bite to us chilies wasn't really that fragant, it was abit dry. But, after adding the sauce which they have provide it different. It taste much more better with the sauce. The sauce has chopped chilies, onions, garilcs, abit of fish sauce, lime juice and abit of sugar. The string ray was not bad, it is not overcooked as the meat was thick.

    Stir Fried Nai Bai Vegetables - $4
    The vegetables is fresh and crunchy with some fried small fish and onion slice.

    White Rice - $0.30
    The rice were a bit dry need to add sauce will be better. Nothing really special.

    Service was ok, we waited for about 15 mins our foods was served.

    Total Bill: $14.60

    Whilst studying in Canada, my friends and I used to “Yum Cha” every weekend morning without fail and it was often very fun with all the food and interaction. When I came back to Singapore, no one I knew practised that and thus the habit slowly died down. Up early and feeling nostalgic on a Sunday morning, I decided to visit the long standing Yan Palace Restaurant for some dim sum and roped in my gf to help with the eating.

    Finding the place wasn’t too difficult as it was just next to Hong Lim food centre and parking was a breeze with the multi story carpark just next to it. (Its $1/hr even on Sundays though) When we got there at about 1100, the restaurant was almost packed with people. (The restaurant could seat about 100 people easily) The interior looked like that of a typical Chinese restaurant of yester year. As we were only having dim sum, a list was provided for us to tick off the types of dim sum we desired. We ordered the Mini egg tarts, Xiao Long Bao (Steamed Shanghai pork buns), century egg with pork porridge, Char Siew Sou (BBQ pork puff), Har Kaw, Siew Mai, Chee Cheong Fun with BBQ pork and Chee Cheong Fun with prawns.

    The mini egg tarts at first glance, looked totally unappealing with its slightly dark crust. But as they say, goodness comes from within. In the case of this egg tart, it was literal. The custard wasn’t too sweet and very smooth. The crust was a little hard and had a little milky and oven-baked taste, just like a cookie. Very good I should say! I like this crust better then Tong Heng’s one, but Tong Heng’s custard still prevails. The Xiao Long Bao was disappointing, being too dry with no hint of juiciness at all.

    I’ve never liked century egg and all the variations that come with it. But I tried the century egg with pork porridge after some cajoling by my gf and I liked it. The porridge was very sticky and didn’t have the century egg taste at all. (I avoided the century egg) In fact, it tasted like very good pork porridge with deep fried crispys. Next up was the Char Siew Sou, whose crust I like very much due to the oven baked taste that separates it from its other competitors. However, the char siew filling was not up to the mark. It tasted a little watery and didn’t have the real BBQ pork taste. The Siew Mai was good, not too salty and with lots of prawns and lean meat packed into it. Har Kaw tasted normal, but a little expensive in my opinion, given its size and taste.

    Last up was the Chee Chong Fun, one with BBQ pork and other with prawns. I liked the one with prawns a lot better as the BBQ pork was practically tasteless. The Chee Chong Fun itself wasn’t too soft, unlike good Chee Chong Funs.

    At about $32 for 2 pax for dim sum, it’s a little on the high side, but take comfort in the fact that quite a few dishes at Yan Palace Restaurant are well worth the money. However, do note that the dim sum range is not extensive and they do not serve the dim sum in pushcarts, unlike Red Star. (I’ll do a formal review soon) Nevertheless, Yan Palace Restaurant has found a fan in me with their egg tarts. I’ll be back to try out their long forgotten Zhu Jiao Chu.

    Decor was simple and they had nice looking circular booths, which could seat up to 4 people. Got a seat pretty fast and we proceeded to order a Macau style cheese baked rice with pork chop, chicken porridge and red bean snow ice(or something like that).Our food came within 10 mins and we were quite pleased with the presentation. The food actually looked good. However, imagine our disappointment when the porridge tasted bland and the portion was pathetic. I'm sure the $2.50 porridge at the hawker centre outside my house tasted better then that and with a bigger portion to boot. The baked rice was cold on the inside and hot on the outside (the cheese). The rice was drenched in oil(I could actually see the layer of oil!). The saving grace was the red bean snow ice which was actually an oversized ice kachang, but with just red bean, grass jelly and lots of condensed milk in it. I found it quite ok, probably due to the fact that I kinda like ice kachang.

    Damage was $25.55/- which I feel is hardly worth it. One of the worst places I've eaten so far. Service is hardly existent as well. Will not be going back EVER! One other thing to note. They charge 40 cents for their iced water (refillable) and they have this practice of rounding up the bill to the nearest 5 cents.

    After heard some recommendation My BF & I with 2 other colleagues Adrain & Landon decide to have dinner at Miss U Cafe... The place is air-conditioned environment, cosy with wooden furniture & sofa seats. At the left hand side of the corner you will get to see all the wine on the shelf.

    After looking at the menu, we decide to order 1 Miss U Sampler, 1 Cheese Pizza, 1 Salmon Hollandaise, 1 Rib Eye Steak with Red Wine sauce & another 1 Rib Eye Steak with Black Pepper sauce.

    Miss U Sampler - $18.80
    It a combine of Cod Nuggets, Calamaris, Popcorn Chickens, Garlic Bratwurst, Corn Cobbette, Vegetables crudites & Potato Wedges and it come with Cheese, Tartar & Salsa sauce. The platter is big enough for more than 4 people to share. Everything is fried except for the vegetables. Overall the platter still not bad.

    Say Cheese Pizza - $15.90
    The pizza is richly topped with Mozzarella, Edam, Emmental and Blue Cheese. It serve hot, it was nice and can get to taste the strong cheese. It a nice dish Adrain has made a good choice.

    Salmon Hollandaise - $17.90
    Gilled salmon filled topped Hollandaise sauce and dress with beetroots compote, served with daily vegetables & roasted herb potato. I have choose this dish as my main course as it stated must try. Quite disappointed as I don't really feel any special about this dish. I can't taste hollandaise sauce, the roasted herb potato is abit salty. The beetroots was special as I can taste that there is red wine. Not really a good choice.

    Rib Eye Steak with Black pepper/Red wine Sauce -$19.90
    Gilled rib eye steak accompanied with daily vegetables & roasted herb potato. Medium well done with black pepper sauce, medium rare with red wine sauce. Both steak were nicly done. Not a bad dish. Good choice by My BF & Landon.

    After having our appetizer & main, they decide to order 3 dessets. We order 1 Apple of my Ice, 1 Sinful treats & 1 Banana Speed

    Apple of my Ice - $8.50
    A scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top of the apple crumble pie with some strawberry sauce. After having the first bite of this desset you wouldn't want to have another bite of it. This desset was poorly done. It was hot but it was too soggly can't even taste what inside the pie. It shouldn't come with the strawberry sauce. A bad choice we had made.

    Banana Speed - $8.90
    3 scoop of ice-cream; chocolate, strawberry & vanilia, banana and some cornflakes at the base. It stated NewZealand Ice-cream but after tasting it I don't think it nice. As we can taste there is some ice inside the ice-cream. If you can taste ice inside which mean they have keep the ice-cream for some time. It not really that nice. Another bad choice we had made.

    Sinful Treat - $8.90
    Cornflakes as the base, coffee with chocolate ice-cream, chocolate syrup, cream and marsmallow at the side. Finally a not bad desset we had.

    For the service is not really that good. As we waited for about 20 - 30 mins before they serve us the appetizer follow by our main. We need to inform the waiter to refill our drinks. Based on this experience, i will not be going back to this place again.


    Total Bill: $130.57 (including service charge)
