Stumbled upon this very hidden corner of the even ulu-ier Orchard Central. You probably wont have known that there's this little cafe tucked away as there's basically no real signage except for a short A-board placed just outside its door. Decided it looked cosy enough for an impromptu chilling and headed in.
I suspect this spot is really more of an afterthought as its focus is really on fashion by the beloved designer. It feels like it was set up for its similarly atas customers who wants to rest their feet after having a hard time deciding which dress to buy, but later on finding out the space is really quite empty most of the time, decided to open it up to non-customers.
The luxe set up makes it quite unique than your average cafe in Orchard, on top of its cafe in a shop setting.
Menu is restricted to only coffee / tea / drinks and sliced cakes outsourced from some place I cant remember. They have an afternoon set which is priced at $19.90 for a pot of tea and a slice of cake which is a little pricey I thought. Cake - I ordered the chocolate one (mango and other flavours are available) - well cake is not really the exact word to use as it really like a cake version of a mille-feuille with layers of thin crepe alternating chocolate and cream. It was okay and I felt the cream taste was too heavy for my liking. Nothing memorable. Tea was avergae too.
Service was very slow, not sure if its due to the staff really being meant as the staff for the boutique itself rather than cafe service.
Would I come by again? Not deliberately but if I really need that quietness and space to chill out, maybe.
This is the place I come to for Kronenbourg as they have the very pretty looking Effie Tower presentation of the beer complete with sparkles to attract attention.
Live music with a bilingual band completes a night of chilling out - their bands are rather good with both genres of music. The food is a secondary issue to me when I'm here but they are nonetheless not too bad.
I've had their pizzas, pastas, deep fried cereal calamri (like cereal prawns but its squid rings), mee goreng (modern take on the instant favourite), and fries on a couple of occasions and they were all quitr morish, except the time where the seafood in the pasta was not fresh. But otherwise good.
Their seasonal promos are quite good too, currently I believe is getting 0.3litres of beer for every main course ordered before 8pm. Check out their facebook page too which keeps you updated with what's happening.
Service is smiley and nice, nothing to complain about.
his loyalty programme doesnt have an office in Singapore but it works online just fine. Its essentially a free membership and you get to accrue points for eligible hotel stays and dining at the hotels' establishments too. Points chalk up slowly but dont expire if you have a minimum of 1 transaction each year - which is easy to achieve. Points can then be used to redeem hotel stays etc but you require massive points to do so eg. Hyatt Singapore requires 14,000 points just for 1 night.
If you forget to produce your member card, you'll have to email the hotel outlet directly for them to do the necessary accrual.
My gripe is that some staff are not familiar with dining accrual as sometimes when I present my card they say indicate that the points are only eligible for stays, which is not true.
Guest service is via emails which is not too friendly as response time is slower.

Points chalk up slowly but dont expire if you have a minimum of 1 transaction each year - which is easy to achieve. Points can then be used to redeem hotel stays etc but the hotels are tiered into 6 categories, with category 1 hotels charging 2,000 points per night per room. Not too bad actually.
If you forget to produce your member card, just take a snapshot of your receipt and send it on to them and the accrual will happen.
Guest service is also good with options of calling, emails, or instant chat which I find very useful.
The only frustrating thing so far is the customer service staff tends to remember all point accrual as stays and not F&B, so I've had occasions where I was informed that they cant locate my record as they were looking into stays whereas my accrual is for dining.
But other than that, things usually happen smoothly.
I got a chance to try this outlet due to a UOB promotion for first time customers at $28 for 1 hour massage. I was surprised that they had available slots at 6:15pm on a Sat evening but was game to try it anyway.
The usual form filling took place at the reception and we were asked to sit at the waiting area. Not soon after, a staff came over to 'sell' their bottles of essence oils, which were priced at $38 per bottle (and they were small bottles!) and she was polite and not pushy and all that but no thanks.
For the massage itself, I got a Chinese national masseur and she looked quite petite and I wondered if she would have the strength to do it. But I was so wrong.
What was supposed to be a relaxing massage quickly dipped when she told me I had serious problems with my shoulders and lower back and started focusing alot of these 2 areas, so much so she only managed to cover the back part of my body without the other side being massaged.
Which was actually okay for me as I really think the massage helped although it left me with bruises for the next 3 days. But the process was just painful.
Skill wise, I think my masseur was not bad actually. Kudos to her for having the strength to knead me into a pained mush.
After the treatment, they came with the expected package approach but we werent there for that. At about $300 for 5 massages, the price is not beyond reasonable but packages are quite a hazard nowadays so didnt want to take that risk.
I finally tried this after hearing (and seeing) this place forever. But it was a bad choice after all. To sum it up, the reception was smokey due to the grill steamboat dinners, the rooms super cold, and the crux if it all, the sound system was terrible. The echo was on full blast but the staff said it cant be adjusted. What is a KTV business doing if their sound system is crap??! I dont understand it but am sure I am not coming back. Party World and KBox wins hands down and will work for you if you actually want to sing there.
It was a stroke of bad luck that led me to this seemingly innocent place at the inreasingly crowded waterfront hideout. I wished we hadnt.
Things started out okay with the place looking quite chill, and this is the only western option other than Popeye's close by. Warm weather made it tough for us to take the inner dining seats and instead we decided to head out to the bar seats which had 2 overhead fans whirling by (there were 4 but 2 were spoilt).
Menu also looked innocent with the usual western fare and I must say they have a selection larger than it looked like the place can offer. But it was not a blessing as we later found out.
Mushroom soup ($6.90) - I cant make out what this is supposed to be. It was hot alright but tasted like a mash of minced mushrooms with a dollop of oilve oil on top. It was not soup as I remember soup to be.
Buffalo wings ($8.90) - about 8 pieces if mini wings smothered in some hot sauce but the chicken itself was not marinated and the meat undercooked. The sad limp sticks of carrot and celery were not fresh.
Cheesy sausage ($15.90) - The sausage was bland, the mashed potatoes it was lying on powdery and very bad, and the accompanying greens absolutely no dressing at all. They couldn't even bother with thousand island.
Twin slipper lobster ($28.90) - My mum had one bite of the lobster and asked to return it as it was not fresh. The slipper lobster in the Twin Slipper Lobster was not fresh - what a joke.
Alio Olio Shrimp ($16.90) - the alio olio was not too bad actually until I had a bite of the shrimp. Not fresh too. This was returned as well.
Sambal Fried Rice ($13.90) - we were hugely dissatisfied after returning the above 2 mains so decided to order this to share. This was the saving grace of the evening with us having no complaints about this although it was a bit greasy for me.
Beers - they have a small selection of mostly bottled beer but no happy hour pricing. At least the beers were cold.
Service was a major disaster. The picture of the slipper lobster showed that it came with rice so I was trying to reconfirm this with the staff but she insisted that it was not rice but mashed potatoes. Another picture which showed exactly the same thing she said it was rice. ??!! To top it off, she told us "If you want rice, you can order the sambal fried rice. That one comes with rice". Smart.
And obviously, 2 out of 3 main courses returned was not a concern to them as staff and a chap who seemed like their supervisor was just nonchalant about it. And they had the audacity to keep it on the bill and charge me for the 2 returned main courses - I had to ask for them to remove it. And not one word of apologies throughout the evening - so maybe they feel serving not-fresh seafood in their seafood dishes were alright after all.
This place is an absolute disaster. I know I may be over generalizing as I've not tried the other items but for a place to serve seafood which are obviously bad, to me, reflects the attitude of the chef there. Plus service is just bad too. And prices for not cheap at all - I paid $97 for 3pax even after removing the 2 returned items. But i have to admit, the pictures are very deceiving as they actually looked quite decent in it.
If I am ever back, I'll eat at Popeye's and come here just for drinks, if I really have to. I'm quite sure they cannot mess up bottled beer.
We decided to drop by Turf City one Sunday evening and have dinner at one of the seafood restaurants. How we ended up at Ah Yat, I have no idea, especially when my last dinner at the Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim outlet turned out to be a disaster. To be fair, that was quite a few years ago so things might have improved?
The interior of the restaurant was a stark contrast to its surroundings. Soothing but a little gaudy versus partially smashed bare concrete, displaced steel wires/nails and loud drilling noises. Yes, the entire Turf City is under renovation and only a handful of units remain open ( I counted 3 - Owen Seafood, Ah Yat & Giant).
Shark's Fin Soup - Decently sized with slivers of shark's fin and crab meat, the broth was a little too starchy and salty for my liking. Thankfully the serving of fried, albeit overly oily bean sprouts helped to alleviate this dish by introducing water content as well as a wonderful crunch to it. It's interesting how sometimes the humblest of produce can help turn a dish around.
Oyster with Garlic - For our set, we had a choice of Bamboo Clam or Oyster and I chose the latter. And honestly, I couldn't quite make out any taste other than garlic because it was just so overwhelming.
Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber - I am usually not a big fan of abalone and Ah Yat's well known dish just wasn't about to convert me. The abalone was of decent size (6 head) and a little chewy, though I did find it a little on the salty side. The accompanying sea cucumber and mushroom were decent but failed to leave much of an impression.
Peking Duck - The peking duck was an additional order we craved meat. And it didn't turn out to be a very wise decision. Though the skin was crisp, both the meat and crepe were too dry. Felt very much like eating roast duck - nothing special.
Fried Rice - Although the lack of ingredients was apparent (there was only egg yolk and dried scallop slivers), this dish had a nice wok hei to it and each individual grain was evenly coated and didn't come across as too oily. Be warned that the dried scallops should be eaten together with the rice as the salt content is rather high and might prove unbearable if eaten alone.
Overall the meal wasn't fantastic and even the more expensive ingredients didn't quite justify the price, at about $210 for 3 pax. Service was decent but I highly doubt I will ever return.
The Paradise Inn group to me is a trusted brand where the food is hardly ever very wrong. And this visit to this relatively new outlet proves me unsure. Our family dinner comprised of the following:
Tea - Comes in a very cute glass pot and a baby warmer. Cute. Black chicken herbal soup - Very homely and taste like a lot of stuff had gone into it. Nice substitute for home-cooked.
Braised tofu with pickled radish - the blandness of the tofu pairs very well with the salty radish but the radish was a bit soggy for my liking.
Omelet with minced meat - Average and the mince meat doesnt taste like it was marinated at all.
Steamed cod - Worst dish of the night. Measly portion of the unfresh fish, plus a lot of bones. Ugh.
Fried thai kai lan ($1) - This in-store promotion allows you to have 1 of 8 dishes at $1 if your bill before GST hits $50, which is not too difficult. I dont know what was the 'thai' in this dish but its fresh and crunchy veg, nice!
Service was average and this outlet was surprisingly not filled at 7pm on a weekday. I would want to try other places in this new mall before returning though.
Chanced upon this ulu place while trying to find a late lunch spot with family. And it turned out to be a worthy shot at dim sum. I cant recall the exact price of each dish so the prices are based on memory - if it serves me right at all:
Salted pork with preserved egg congee ($7.50) - a little pricey than usual but the portion is a full portion which is very filling. Nice smooth congee although the preserved egg has a stronger taste than I would have preferred.
Fresh shrimp wanton noodle ($7.50) - typical cantonese style with the noodles tossed in a simple sauce but nicely al dente; shrimp wantons were good too.
Marinated pig's intestines ($6) - didnt have this but the portion was much bigger than I expected. The one who tasted it said it was not bad.
3-layer abalone ($9.80) - whoever named this was smart. It was one slice of abalone, on top of a spinach tofu square, on top of a bed of spinach. So 3 layers alright. Taste wise was disappointing with all 3 rather bland.
Steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce ($4) - didnt have this but it looked like how it should. Steamed chicken claw with black bean sauce ($3.50) - i like this! Nicely done with the bean sauce just gooey-ly saltish enough.
Chilled chicken feet ($4) - Am still terrified at how this looks. Not for me.
Shrimp beancurd roll ($4) - Freshly deep fried and crunchy fresh prawns. Good!
Steamed flour roll with bbq pork ($5) - The flour roll was freshly made and silky but the bbq pork had too much fatty bits which was a turn off.
Pan fried carrot cake with bean sprouts ($4) - good! Not overly oily and the bean sprouts crunchy. I wished the carrot cake itself was more 'burnt' though.
The food were mixed but service was good - it may help that on a Sunday 3pm we were the 2nd occupied table. Nice view too if you manage to get a booth seat by the window.
Would I come back? Not sure really. Plus the bill added up to almost $100 for 3pax which was not exactly cheap.
