1st Entry

hihi! I'm so excited I hope this entry will catch more readers!I will update mostly about my food experiences and probably I can upload some photos I took. . know about the orchard's hotel salmon and seafood buffet?on the left is mussels in wine saucethought it would be that fantastic but the spread was quite pitiful i should say,and the desserts are not up to standard, i had lunch by the way, and choc fountain wasnt even there. it was really not worth the 40 bucks i paid.very disappointing. i planned to +ry their porridge buffet but was fully booked when i called and ended up at riverview hotel's chinese restaurant for their ala-carte buffet-

their food were a mixture of good and bad, we ordered like 20 over dishes, and plus the dessert and soup buffet, we had a very filling dinner indeed. i should compliment their quick service in their serving of dishes. we ate like we havent eaten for ages!haha..

prawns in herbal soup, very nice but can only order once..

look like peking duck to you?its actually deep-fried beancurd and sweet soya sauce inside,good imitation, but i prefer this to the original duck skin, less oily right?
oh, i begged my aunt to bring me to bukit timah for lunch last sat, cuz i know there are many good restaurants there, but she say bukit timah is very big and it is hard to find some restaurants. so we just alighted at an area where i see many restaurants. we basically walked along the stretch of road, and ended up in front of this most corner restaurant, it doesnt have a sign so i din even know it was one, inside looked so high class and they look more like selling things. i took a peep inside and noticed cooks and seats upstairs and decided it was a restaurant, so i went in i somewhat i realized it was corduroy and finch! at first, i was having such a hard time to decide where to eat but once i entered there, i told myself that was where i'm gonna have my lunch, i quickly dragged my aunt upstairs cuz no one came to our service and we thought it was rather unpleasant. we found a sofa seat that looks down to the kitchen and a woman came to us with the paper menu. i glanced through and all looked so fantastic, i always do research before i come to a decision so it wont be a disappointment you see...hmm, we chose for so long,haaha...we finally ordered a linguini with mushrooms in wine sauce and a mushroom cream soup to share. a plate of bread was complimentary so it was quite filliing, i must say the food was very good, looks like its mushroom day for us,hehe..we had a pot of earl grey and a zesty lemon tart which i ate on my own as my aunt hated the lemony taste. we refilled a couple of times,i think the waitress was frustrated too..

Wow isn't this long? haha.. do comment on it yah? Do let me know anything about food news.Thank You!!

Some pictures i took at Riverview Palace Restaurant,too many le..these are only like 10%..

People's Park Complex hidden treasures

Image
I know it can be frustrating if you can't make up your mind between the three roasted meat stalls and four other dim sum stalls. They all look the same but you know surely one of those stalls is the famous one which your grandparents and parents grew up eating.  Today, I'd introduce to you one of the best dimsum and roast meats non-restaurant style, together with some new findings in the current People's Park Complex.  It has been a long while since I last wowed at the dimsum before me. The stall only displays a pathetic number of dishes in the glass cabinet as compared to Ho Kee which display a wide myriad of choices. Yet... 道记(Chop Hean Kuan) 's dimsums sells like hot cakes. The price range is not large, cheapest at 90c for items like the ugly looking yet tempting siew mai, egg tarts and 韭菜角, the most expensive item is 2 bucks for the 糯米鸡. The mini char siew bao was heaven. I seldom fancy this because it feels  often feels like eating marinated card board.

Jimoto-Ya (Singapore)

Image
Sometimes, i wished there isn't so many new restaurants sprouting around our tiny island everyday (pocket is bleeding), but at times, i am exhilarated especially when something like Jimoto-Ya is in town! Thanks to one of Jimoto-Ya's sake supplier who strongly recommended the place, that i had to try it right away. And in a week, there goes 2 meals at Jimoto-Ya. I was there on a weekday afternoon and a weekend night respectively. Both experience were unique on its own yet similar in the right points.  From top: Ebi Shoyu Ramen Set (19 SGD), Curry Rice Set (19 SGD), Ebi Shio Ramen Set (19 SGD) Lunch and dinner menu are the same at the moment with ramen and rice sets taking the limelight. For lunch, i shared the above 3 sets with my 2 girlfriends who were as delighted as me to eat them the second the food was served. The smell of amaebi boiled for hours alleviating from the soup made it even more irresistible. The choices were decided with the help of the boss, Se

Tendon Kohaku's 2nd outlet!

Image
Ever since I chanced upon Tendon Hokaku (even though I've read so much about it before that plus all the instagram spams on my wall) at its 1st outlet at Suntec, been missing it. Just that the queue can be quite a pain especially during the peak hours. So there's also peak periods for dining nowadays!  It's opening at Circular Road last week has caused such a hype especially amongst the working crowd in the area. CBD IS HAPPENING TOO!    Quickly, the queue has formed with longer queue times as the days go by. I went on a Wednesday at 1pm and the waiting time was 15 mins, better than I expected. Then on Thursday, it became 40 mins. I'm not sure how long it'll be in the days to come. But if you all agree with me, the perpetual queue is a good sign too!    The cosy outlet has about 6-7 tables and some counter seats so I reckon it can hold up to 20 pax at each time. Menu is a standard 4 types: Seafood, chicken and mixed vegetables tendon (spicy or non-spicy) at $15 whil
