Jing Hua Restaurant 京華小吃 @Chinatown

Posted on 5 September 2013 by weiming

It’s a special day, so it’s a special meal! 🙂

We had just finished our massage, and was walking around the Ann Siang Hill/Duxton area to find a place for late dinner. Lots of pubs and bars around, but we decided to come back to this old favourite which we have patronised a few times before. It’s a simple Chinese-styed eatery along Neil Road with a equally simple menu of a few dishes. I guess there’s no need for a complicated menu which is full of everything but rather be good at a few that gets your customers keep coming back. 🙂

The Fabulous Baker Boy @River Valley

Posted on 5 September 2013 by weiming

It’s a wonderful day and I finally met up with The Fabulous Baker Boy!!

Have been reading and seeing sooo many yummy photos on Instagram about TFBB so I have to try it out. So on this day, on a rainy Thursday afternoon, after running around finishing final errands for our upcoming Taipei trip, I finally found TFBB at the foothill of Fort Canning Park!

It’s really located in a very obscure corner of the park (find your way to Liang Court and TFBB is just opposite in the park, though you need to find the entrance to walk in to the park in the first place!) and the decor is really unpretentious and simple. It’s alfresco dining with lots of fans around to blow the heat away. But what caught my eyes were the rows of yummilicious cakes that were displayed on the cake shelves!

Wee Nam Kee @United Square

Posted on 4 September 2013 by weiming

Wee Nam Kee used to be at Novena Ville but had to be relocated to United Square due to new developments. I have not tried them out because it was after all chicken rice and you can get chicken rice all over Singapore. Well the opportunity avail itself tonight so we decided to give this famous chicken rice a try 🙂

It wasn’t overly crowded on a weekday evening, and we were able to get seats immediately, although not the attention of the waitress as quickly. We quickly ordered half a roast chicken and some stir fry dou miao to go along.

The Cornerstone @Bishan Park

Cosy little place in the park

Cosy little place in the park

It’s a happy day so we are here for a happy lunch!

The Cornerstone is just located within Bishan Park and it’s one of the few places we go to whenever we have any cause for celebration (or sometimes we just wanna get out of the office!)

The indoor deco is modern and simple with a bar counter (mostly for customers who come in for drinks on soccer nights) and a cooking counter. Apparently they also conduct cooking classes, possibly to make better use of the place during slow-moving weekday afternoons. There is an alfresco area for customers who want to be closer to nature, and it’s especially refreshing to sit out there after a rain.

GRUB @Bishan Park 1

Very unique queuing system

Very unique queuing system

We decided to come here after hearing so much about this place since it opened its doors from May 2013.

There is to be no queuing at the restaurant. Instead, you gotta click for a queue number on a tablet, supply your name and mobile number, and you will be notified via a call when a table is ready for you. You can also check out the URL sent to you via SMS to find out how many tables are ahead of you. We ended up hanging around the restaurant (around the ‘Please do not queue’ signboard no less…) because it was drizzling, and this is the sole building around…

Irodori @Riverview Hotel

The highlight of the buffet

The highlight of the buffet

Today we celebrate 6 years of being together! This called for a celebration at Irodori 😉

Actually, we bought this deal online, but it ended up about the same price as paying via certain credit cards which offer a 15% discount.

Our second time here, and the salmon, swordfish and yellow tail sashimi remained our top favourites!

Chef On Wheels @Singapore Night Festival

Posted on 24 August 2013 by lendeliz

It’s our first time to the Singapore Night Festival (SNF)!

The areas were spread between Dhoby Ghaut and Cityhall MRT stations, so we decided to get off at Cityhall MRT and made our way up. We first walked past a street of food stalls, abit like a upmarket pasar malam, where food prices were very upmarket too 😛 Nothing caught our fancy, and it was also quite quiet… so we decided to continue on, hoping for better food options, while quietly keeping a lookout for restaurants along the way… haha!

Note: The Junction 8 outlet has ceased operations.

Fish Belly Porridge

Fish Belly Porridge

I was still craving for some comforting and delicious porridge before going back to office to work and we ended up at Crystal Jade at Bishan Junction 8. I was feeling abit apprehensive as our previous experience with this place wasn’t very good, and we were worried about the dinner crowd as we didn’t make any reservations…

Turned out that it was fairly easy to get a table for 2 if you weren’t going for the steamboat buffet… haha! We were brought to a table immediately and I happily ordered the Fish Belly Porridge and hubby decided to try Beehoon with Shredded Duck. And of course, something to share – Broccoli with Mushrooms.

[closed] Shin Yeh Bistro @Square 2

Posted on 21 August 2013 by lendeliz

Note: Shin Yeh Bistro has ceased operations at this location.

We were actually thinking of having dinner at Zhou’s Kitchen at Novena but it has been replaced by Shin Yeh Bistro! Since it’s also by Tung Lok, and we did enjoy Shin Yeh Restaurant at Liang Court, we decided to give it a try…

Claypot Soon Hock

Claypot Soon Hock

Hubby was enticed by the claypot fish that was served to the table next to us, but we couldn’t find the item in the menu… Finally we asked the waitress and that’s when we were told that there were special items not included in the menu, including the Claypot Fish and Three Cup Chicken. Huh? Why so special? Anyway, the claypot fish is seasonal price and ranges from $5 to $9 per 100g of fish, so ask for the price before ordering!

The whole soon hock was deep fried and very delicious! There were also slices of beancurd, eggplant and mushroom, so this dish was actually quite filling.
