Eden Cafe is acknowledged for its delicate florals cuisines to bring a whole new dining experience for the customers’ palate. Owner of the former Helio Cafe at Marina Square, Mr Clement Ng is the brain behind the floral concept at Eden Cafe.
Positioned at Club Street, just beside Ann Siang Hill, Eden Cafe is a quaint flower inspired cafe seated at the F&B robust street with other eminent neighbours like Les Brasseries, Senso Ristorante, Spizza, Seven on Club, Da Paolo II Ristorante, and Indochine restaurant.
There is the make-to-order option for dinner which is very interesting. Contact Mr Clement Ng to custom-made a dinner which is unique for you.
The interior is done in very unsophisticated manner, with soft soothing music as background. The cafe has such a cozy and homely feel that my friend and i can just sit there for the whole day. It is that comfortable, just like home.
Sundried Tomato Omelette ($9.50) Eden’s brunch menu is only available during the weekends and public holiday. It is the draw of the brunch menu which actually brings my visit to Eden. I’m always fascinated by the prospects of eating brunch at some comfy cafe on a laid-back weekend.
The brunch selections here are mostly toast and sandwiches. The omelette is the one which caught my attention. I was rather astonish when the dish came, not that i was expecting a lot, but at almost ten bucks for omelette on a toast, coupled with lots of greens, it do seem a tad expensive.
I understand that many places which offer brunch might be even pricier than this, but still paying ten bucks for the definitely-not-filling brunch do makes ordering lunch seems a more reasonable option.
Nevertheless, the Sundried Tomato omelette is quite good, with a hint of cheese within the egg, and i must commended that not many places actually have such a healthy serving of salads to go along.
Honey Mustard Chicken ($14.90) The main courses at Eden cafe takes longer to serve, with a waiting time of about 20mins. At first sight, the chicken is certainly tiny, with two small pieces of chicken breast, which comes along with again, very generous servings of greens.
The honey mustard flavours the chicken well, although we felt that the use of chicken drumstick can add more zest to the overall dish. At $15, the honey mustard chicken is definitely not filling for folks with big appetite. If only the serving size can be bigger.
Hibiscus Soft Cheesecake ($6.90) Desserts are where Eden really excels at. The Hibiscus soft cheesecake is one of the better cheesecakes i have tasted so far. The cheesy flavor might come a tad too strong for non-cheese lovers, but its still acceptable for me, although towards the end it might be slightly overwhelming if you finish this cake on your own.
Coated with a layer of hibiscus top, and a bright red strawberry on top, the cheesecake is done pleasant to the eye and satisfying to the palates.
Total bill for 2 comes up to $36.70. I still find Eden to be rather expensive given its minuscule serving size, and quintessentially there is nothing that fantastic about the food. The floral concept is unquestionably interesting, with the tranquil ambience of the cafe a positive plus.
But food-wise its done very simple, i guess this is the selling point of Eden’s, which sometimes make you feel that it does not justify the price tag. Nonetheless, Eden’s definitely a great place to chill and sit the whole day, and desserts are excellent which will tempt me into a recurrent visit.
Until the price drop, or with greater serving size, i’ll just come back to Eden’s for their desserts and the nice ambience. And just for information, Eden has a new sister restaurant at the hip Rochester park, Eden Sanctuary.

De Coder’s Cafe is one of the latest board game cafe in town, think along the line of The Mind Cafe, and Settlers Cafe and you pretty much get the picture. Located along Bukit Timah road at Balmoral Plaza, where Waffletown is also situated at.
Like what i mentioned previously, the place is actually quite accessible because its only about ten minutes walk away from Newton MRT. Taking a bus from Orchard road takes a mere ten minutes too.
It is puzzling as to why LIC haven’t been to any board game cafe when Mind, settlers, and De coder’s have open for quite some time, and are available in quite a few locations.
We are here for Claudia’s birthday. The Cafe isn’t very big, in fact its quite a squeeze for about twenty of us. The interior is simple, you can choose to seat at the sofas, or at the tables and chairs which are in red and black theme.
The highlight of De Coder’s cafe is definitely their wide range of board games. And speaking of board games, they aren’t your normal monopoly or you know those usual ones. They have so many different types which we totally haven’t seen before.
Root Beer float ($4.50) The root beer float is really just your normal root beer float. Pour the root beer from a bottle, and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. To charge $4.50 for it is kind of outrageous, but then again, they don’t charge for the games play, so i suppose their source of revenue will be through the drinks and food.
Pasta ($9.80) We ordered quite a few pasta, like Beefy beefy, ocean catch, mushy mushroom. All their pastas does not really suit our tastebud. Period.
Spicy Drumlets ($5) If their main course doesn’t works, what else is there to eat you ask? Finger food, but again, we tried almost all of their finger food, and most of them can’t quite make it as well.
The spicy drumlets is one of the few that is decent, but the consistency isn’t there. The first round we ordered this the drumlets are still okay, but the second time we ordered this one again, the chicken is kind of soggy, and its supposed to be fried and crispy.
Chicken Cubes ($5) The chicken cubes is definitely on the list of finger food that you should not be ordering. Soggy and tasteless. Period.
Cheesy Wedges ($5) They have two types of wedges, the potato wedges and cheesy wedges. We had both, and i guess the two wedges are still all right.
Americaya ($10) American’s all time favourite chicken burger served with wedges and baked beans. They are right, American favourite is chicken burger, but unfortunately, its not the Americaya served here. I literally had a hard time finishing the burger, and its not because i am full.
All in all, i may seem quite harsh on the food in De Coder’s cafe, but really the food isn’t good. Then again, you are there to play board games, and not because of the food, so we shouldn’t be complaining. But i feel that a board game cafe is a great idea, and to serve simple and good food actually isn’t that difficult.
Desserts like cheesecakes and brownies are decent. Fried food is in fact the easiest food to do it simple and nice, but they mess it up. If only they can improve on the standards of their food, i'll foresee myself making perennial visits, otherwise, stay away from most of the food, maybe just the desserts and drinks.

This is so far the best stall I've ever tried for fish soup, and fish bee hoon soup. Be it sliced fish or fried fish, with or without milk, they all taste really good!
Ever since I've tried the fish soup / fish bee hoon soup here, I have never been satisfied with those sold elsewhere...really "no horse run". LOL.
Everyday, the queue is long during lunch time.
During rainy days, the queue can extend till the outside of the cafeteria. However, the service is quite fast. The woman behind the stove cooks quite fast. But she is so busy that sometimes she may forget to add milk to your soup. Not to worry, you can always ask the cashier to add the milk for you later.
I can eat the sliced fish bee hoon soup every week during lunch hour.
The soup tastes great. Quite different from the other fish soups I've tried before.
Moreover, with the evaporated milk, the result is an aromatic and milky soup! A mixture of saltiness and sweetness...
In the soup, there are thick and fresh pieces of fish, vegetable, seaweed, si chuan vegetables, and tofu (for soup only, not for bee hoon soup).
The si chuan vegetables make the soup taste abit more unique I guess.
The bee hoon is also cooked just nice - not too hard and not too soft.
The chilli paste is marvellous! Don't think it's available else where! I love the chilli paste alot. I like to mix it into my bee hoon soup. It adds spiciness and abit of sourness to the taste. Shiok!!
Everytime I eat this, I'd finish the whole bowl of soup.
It'd be advisable to bring tissue paper if you eat here because you may perspire from eating the hot soup and chilli paste. Also, the downside is that the cafeteria is quite cramp during lunch hours, and the air-conditioner is not strong enough.
Sliced or fried fish bee hoon soup costs $3.70.
Sliced or fried fish soup costs $3.20.
Rice costs $0.50.
Seah Street Deli has an American air around it, it is after all a restaurant serving your good old American food. Don’t let the name Seah Street fool you, the place is call Seah Street deli because the restaurant is located in Raffles Hotel, which is just beside Seah Street.
Step into Seah Street Deli, and you will be transported back in time to 1950s New York. The restaurant does imitates the look of a Big Apple Deli quite well, the lightning, the decors and the furnitures all oosh a certain classical American touch.
Located at the colonial Raffles Hotel, Seah Street Deli is just a 5 minutes walk away from Raffles City. Certainly an accessible place for a meal if you are in the area and do not want to be in the crowd.
Nowadays where else can you find a jukebox? Talk about nostalgic, they certainly roll back the good old time.
Wild Pacific Dory Fillet ($18.50) Served with natural organic vegetables, baby potatos, and lemon wine sauce. The wild pacific dory fillet comes up to be quite ordinary actually. The dory is fresh, but not much of a surprise there, and at $18.50, its a tad expensive. Serving size is definitely huge, well it should be, we are talking about American food after all.
Grilled Salmon Steak ($18.95) Salmon marinated with mix herbs, grilled zucchini, garlic mashed potatoes and dill cream sauce. The Grilled salmon steak taste to us slightly under-flavored, it will be better if the flavor can be stronger.
The garlic mashed potatoes are plentiful, and really, you can’t finish them off unless you really got a big appetite.
Southern Style Chicken ($17.50) Deep fried chicken, served with fries. The portion is gigantic, but really thats it. The chicken is deep fried, done in your American style, fries are decent. But at $17.50, the Southern Style chicken is a suspect for rip-off
Seah Street Burger ($14.95) Seah Street Deli’s very own freshly ground all beef patty with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions served on a toasted sesame bun. If you think the Seah Street Burger is big, think again. You haven’t seen the bigger burger.
Their Texas Burger a 12 ounce sized beef patty. Granted i heard quite good things about the Texas burger, but the stomach didn’t have room for it, so i ordered Seah Street burger instead.
Seah Street Burger is not too bad, the beef patty is nicely mashed, put together with the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions inside the sesame bun, you will be wondering how do you start eating the whopping burger.
Having eaten burgers in restaurants like Relish and Seah Street, not at your fastfood joints, i came to realise the only feasible way to consume them will be to cut by bites, otherwise you can always choose the alternative, take a big mouthful!
Chocolate Decadence cake ($11.95) The all time favourite chocolate decadence cake at $11.95 do seems a bit steep. But the serving size of the cake more than make up for it. The cake is ginormous (gigantic & enormous)! Seriously, i have never seen places cutting such a big size of cake.
The chocolate decadence cake is made up of 7 layers, and each layer is sweeter than the other. Even though i have a sweet tooth, i find the cake to be too sweet. But its good to indulge in such decadence once in while. After having our main courses, the four of us actually struggle to finish the cake. A must-try if you visit Seah Street Deli.
Total bill is $95.76 for 4 mains and 1 desserts. But Citibank is offering a 15% discount for Seah Street Deli, so our bill after the discount is $81.90. Prices are slightly steep here considering the fact that the food is not bad, but not to the point excellent. At around the same price, there might be some other places which can be better.
Portions are definitely huge, this is where we made a mistake. I think for 4 person, just order 3 main course to share will be more than suffice. The chocolate decadence cake is a must try for desserts. If prices can be cheaper, then i say Seah Street is a nice and cheerful place to dine out, until then, maybe once is enough.

This is new magazine is quite good. I like that it contains many fashionable clothes, accessories like bags, shoes, jewelry, and other interesting stuff.
It's useful that they show you how to match the clothes, and furthermore, they show the price of the items and where to get them from. The clothes featured in this magazine are also more "wearable" to me. They are not too exaggerating and high-end. So it's more practical for me.
There are also lesser commercials in this magazine as compared to the rest.
However, on the down side, there are rarely any lucky draws inside (so far I have never seen any). And it's not easy to purchase this magazine because it's often out of stock.
I'd only tried eating in this restaurant once, and I'd never have a second try here!
The decor of the restaurant was ok...with many Korean ornaments. However the service was abit slow.
I ordered a kimchi ramen. I had to wait for quite a while.
The kimchi ramen cost me around $5 plus as I asked for added chicken.
When I saw the ramen, oh my goodness!
Super disappointed. There were only a few pathetic pieces of chicken which didn't have much taste. The egg was also very little. The soup did not taste good at all. The noodles was not any better. Oh ya, did I mention kimchi? The soup did not have much kimchi taste either.
I can say that my home-cooked instant noodles tastes better than this.
This is a little stall selling chiffons and cupcakes very near my office. Sometimes if I forget to bring my breakfast to work, I'd buy chiffons and cupcakes from here.
The chiffons and cupcakes are said to be free of preservatives, and contain lesser sugar.
Chiffons sell between $1.20 to $1.60. I forgot how much the cupcakes cost but should be around the same price.
They don't taste too sweet and they are very soft.
There are many flavours to choose from - orange, banana, cheese, chocolate, oreo, strawberry yoghurt, blueberry, coffee etc. (many more other flavours)
I wouldn't rate it as excellent now because I find it too expensive :P
A long long time ago, we have A & W for our fix of waffles and root beer floats. Now that they are gone, Waffletown seems to be the only substitute for A & W. Located in Balmoral Plaza at Bukit Timah, the place is actually quite accessible because its only about ten minutes walk away from Newton MRT. Taking a bus from Orchard road takes a mere ten minutes too.
Offering the same “American” style of fastfood, even the seats are “A & W”-like. There’s seats outside if you prefer to seat in their “al fresco” area, otherwise go on in to their air-conditioned areas inside.
The place is a let-down though, the seats are all right, just like your fastfood restaurant chain. But i find the interior to be a little shabby. Actually i am saying this because i felt that Waffletown has great potentials but the management somehow don’t seem to be too bothered about business.
To prove my point, look at the first picture, they took some ugly shots of their food and post it at their entrance. The unglam shots are not even their focus which is waffles. Instead the shots are pictures of some totally unrelated food like black pepper steak, fish and chips, grilled fish.
Single scoop chocolate chip waffle ($3.70)
As the name Waffletown imples, its a place for waffles after all. Thus selections for waffles are aplenty, with your plain waffles at $2.50, there’s ham waffle, sausage waffle, turkey bacon waffle, and of course ice cream waffles.
At $3.70 for a single scoop ice cream waffle, its really a steal though. Even Haato which has one of the cheaper waffles around, are selling at $6 for their single scoop waffles. But then again you can’t compare it this way because the ice cream at Haato are gelato, while the ones here are the normal ice cream.
Single scoop raspberry waffle ($3.70)
The raspberry ice cream is really nostalgic, remember the raspberry ice cream which we buy from the motorcycle uncle when we were young? Its exactly the same one! My friend says that raspberry flavor is still available at supermarket, but i can’t seem to find it.
But i can conclude that at the waffles are definitely better than Gelare. That one is expensive, normal days single scoop waffle is almost ten bucks, and their waffle isn’t even good.
2 Pc Fried Chicken set ($6.70)
The two piece fried chicken set at $6.70, prices are comparable to KFC, but the chicken is slightly better. For one, the chicken isn’t as oily as KFC’s, and nowadays KFC standards really are not consistent. The coleslaw and potato here are at most average, with the chicken faring better.
Total bill is $14.1 for 2 waffles and 2 piece fried chicken. Although the place can’t really substitute A&W which is deep in our heart, but it can be a replacement for now, until someone brings back A&W. I won’t say the waffles are that excellent, but at $3.70 they are really worth the price, and their fried chicken is all right if you dislike KFC.

Had a dinner there with my family. The crowds there are mostly families, since it's a neighbourhood area.
Considering the crowd there, the service staff were still not bad. Not too slow.
I like it that I could just order by clicking at the computer beside the table. Need not wait for the staff to come and take order.
We took some sushi from the conveyor belt like lobster salad sushi, chuka kurage sushi, salmon skin sushi etc. All tasted not bad. Oh yeah, not forgeting the free flow preserved ginger :P
We also ordered from the menu:
Fried tofu - $2.99. Kind of expensive for 2 pieces of tofu. But I think everywhere else is about the same.
Chicken katsu cheese - $6.99. Would recommend this. kind of different. I like the thick cheese :) Abit of crisp on top.
Salmon sashimi (we ordered 3 plates) - $4.99. My family's all-time favourite. Salmon sashimis are thick and fresh. Taste shiok with the lemon, and also with the light soy sauce and wasabi.
Kimuchi ramen - $8.99. Would also recommend this for those who like kimchi. The soup is tasty. I also like the chicken and the egg in it.
Overall we spent around $80 for 5 people.
We were all satisfied with the meal. So it's quite good. Will go there again for family dinner. =)
I have tried Spizza both in the restaurant itself and via the home delivery a few times.
Definitely things taste better when just out of the oven.
However, I think the delivery is also not bad. I ordered delivery for Mother's Day~And my mom liked it alot. As we all agreed, we'd prefer ordering from Spizza than others like Pizzahut and Canadian Pizza.
I have tried ordering delivery for the following:
Item Name: Adriano
Item Description: Smoked Salmon With Onion Rings And Capers
Item Price: $11
I love the smoked salmon...tasty~~woot! They come in big pieces too~
Item Name: Claudia
Item Description: Tomato, Bell Peppers, Zucchini, Eggplants, Artichokes, Mushrooms
My mom wanted something with more vegetables. She was satisfied with this pizza and enjoyed it.
Item Name: Juliana
Item Description: Tomato, Mozzarella, Cooked Ham, Pineapple
This is like our usual Hawaiian pizza. It's nice too~
The customer service staff answering the hotline are also friendly, patient and polite. They wld give recommendations and wait patiently for my decisions on the phone.

Portions are definitely huge, this is where we made a mistake. I think for 4 person, just order 3 main course to share will be more than suffice. The chocolate decadence cake is a must try for desserts. If prices can be cheaper, then i say Seah Street is a nice and cheerful place to dine out, until then, maybe once is enough.

This is new magazine is quite good. I like that it contains many fashionable clothes, accessories like bags, shoes, jewelry, and other interesting stuff.
It's useful that they show you how to match the clothes, and furthermore, they show the price of the items and where to get them from. The clothes featured in this magazine are also more "wearable" to me. They are not too exaggerating and high-end. So it's more practical for me.
There are also lesser commercials in this magazine as compared to the rest.
However, on the down side, there are rarely any lucky draws inside (so far I have never seen any). And it's not easy to purchase this magazine because it's often out of stock.

I'd only tried eating in this restaurant once, and I'd never have a second try here!
The decor of the restaurant was ok...with many Korean ornaments. However the service was abit slow.
I ordered a kimchi ramen. I had to wait for quite a while.
The kimchi ramen cost me around $5 plus as I asked for added chicken.
When I saw the ramen, oh my goodness!
Super disappointed. There were only a few pathetic pieces of chicken which didn't have much taste. The egg was also very little. The soup did not taste good at all. The noodles was not any better. Oh ya, did I mention kimchi? The soup did not have much kimchi taste either.
I can say that my home-cooked instant noodles tastes better than this.

This is a little stall selling chiffons and cupcakes very near my office. Sometimes if I forget to bring my breakfast to work, I'd buy chiffons and cupcakes from here.
The chiffons and cupcakes are said to be free of preservatives, and contain lesser sugar.
Chiffons sell between $1.20 to $1.60. I forgot how much the cupcakes cost but should be around the same price.
They don't taste too sweet and they are very soft.
There are many flavours to choose from - orange, banana, cheese, chocolate, oreo, strawberry yoghurt, blueberry, coffee etc. (many more other flavours)
I wouldn't rate it as excellent now because I find it too expensive :P

A long long time ago, we have A & W for our fix of waffles and root beer floats. Now that they are gone, Waffletown seems to be the only substitute for A & W. Located in Balmoral Plaza at Bukit Timah, the place is actually quite accessible because its only about ten minutes walk away from Newton MRT. Taking a bus from Orchard road takes a mere ten minutes too.
Offering the same “American” style of fastfood, even the seats are “A & W”-like. There’s seats outside if you prefer to seat in their “al fresco” area, otherwise go on in to their air-conditioned areas inside.
The place is a let-down though, the seats are all right, just like your fastfood restaurant chain. But i find the interior to be a little shabby. Actually i am saying this because i felt that Waffletown has great potentials but the management somehow don’t seem to be too bothered about business.
To prove my point, look at the first picture, they took some ugly shots of their food and post it at their entrance. The unglam shots are not even their focus which is waffles. Instead the shots are pictures of some totally unrelated food like black pepper steak, fish and chips, grilled fish.
Single scoop chocolate chip waffle ($3.70)
As the name Waffletown imples, its a place for waffles after all. Thus selections for waffles are aplenty, with your plain waffles at $2.50, there’s ham waffle, sausage waffle, turkey bacon waffle, and of course ice cream waffles.
At $3.70 for a single scoop ice cream waffle, its really a steal though. Even Haato which has one of the cheaper waffles around, are selling at $6 for their single scoop waffles. But then again you can’t compare it this way because the ice cream at Haato are gelato, while the ones here are the normal ice cream.
Single scoop raspberry waffle ($3.70)
The raspberry ice cream is really nostalgic, remember the raspberry ice cream which we buy from the motorcycle uncle when we were young? Its exactly the same one! My friend says that raspberry flavor is still available at supermarket, but i can’t seem to find it.
But i can conclude that at the waffles are definitely better than Gelare. That one is expensive, normal days single scoop waffle is almost ten bucks, and their waffle isn’t even good.
2 Pc Fried Chicken set ($6.70)
The two piece fried chicken set at $6.70, prices are comparable to KFC, but the chicken is slightly better. For one, the chicken isn’t as oily as KFC’s, and nowadays KFC standards really are not consistent. The coleslaw and potato here are at most average, with the chicken faring better.
Total bill is $14.1 for 2 waffles and 2 piece fried chicken. Although the place can’t really substitute A&W which is deep in our heart, but it can be a replacement for now, until someone brings back A&W. I won’t say the waffles are that excellent, but at $3.70 they are really worth the price, and their fried chicken is all right if you dislike KFC.

Had a dinner there with my family. The crowds there are mostly families, since it's a neighbourhood area.
Considering the crowd there, the service staff were still not bad. Not too slow.
I like it that I could just order by clicking at the computer beside the table. Need not wait for the staff to come and take order.
We took some sushi from the conveyor belt like lobster salad sushi, chuka kurage sushi, salmon skin sushi etc. All tasted not bad. Oh yeah, not forgeting the free flow preserved ginger :P
We also ordered from the menu:
Fried tofu - $2.99. Kind of expensive for 2 pieces of tofu. But I think everywhere else is about the same.
Chicken katsu cheese - $6.99. Would recommend this. kind of different. I like the thick cheese :) Abit of crisp on top.
Salmon sashimi (we ordered 3 plates) - $4.99. My family's all-time favourite. Salmon sashimis are thick and fresh. Taste shiok with the lemon, and also with the light soy sauce and wasabi.
Kimuchi ramen - $8.99. Would also recommend this for those who like kimchi. The soup is tasty. I also like the chicken and the egg in it.
Overall we spent around $80 for 5 people.
We were all satisfied with the meal. So it's quite good. Will go there again for family dinner. =)

I have tried Spizza both in the restaurant itself and via the home delivery a few times.
Definitely things taste better when just out of the oven.
However, I think the delivery is also not bad. I ordered delivery for Mother's Day~And my mom liked it alot. As we all agreed, we'd prefer ordering from Spizza than others like Pizzahut and Canadian Pizza.
