Brauhaus Restaurant & Pub @United Square

Posted on 27 February 2014 by lendeliz

We have always walked past this place but never got the chance to try the food. It’s either the place was crowded, or we were attracted by something else along the way 😛

Today, after getting disappointed by a new place (why invite us to try and not bothering to inform in advanced that half the food choices are sold out?), we decided to come here since there was no crowd.. Haha!

Live music started at 8pm, so we got to enjoy some music while we waited for our food. It’s quite a nice place to chill, and the singer tonight had a rather soothing and pleasant voice. This place boosts of the longest beer menu in Asia with more than 150 brands from all over the world, ranging from Asia to Europe to US. However, we weren’t in the drinking mood today 🙂

Once Upon a Thyme @Square 2

Delicious pasta

Delicious pasta

Couldn’t quite make up my mind on what to grab for lunch and was just passing by the takeaway stalls at basement of Square 2. The pasta here seemed more appealing than the rest and without a queue, so that was how I decided on lunch 😛

The seafood pasta was cooked within minutes and still remained pipping hot in the takeaway container by the time I reached office.

The pasta was surprisingly delicious! The tomato based sauce was full of flavour and the herbs tasted refreshing. The generous amount of ingredients (about 3 pieces of fish and prawns each, and quite a few squid rings) and the al-dente spaghetti was quite filling, despite the seemingly small portion. It was a great lunch!

Bari Uma Ramen @United Square

All noodles are handmade

All noodles are handmade

Marutama Ramen shifted out of United Square and it’s premises was replaced by Bari Uma Ramen and Tamoya Udon. We chanced upon this shop while looking for late dinner and decided to give it a try!

This restaurant was newly opened on 3 December 2013 and there were not many patrons as yet (or maybe it’s because it’s almost 9pm when we arrived, haha!). A big signboard (which says that all the noodles in the restaurant are handmade) sits above the see-through kitchen, and the list of various ramen is written vertically on wooden boards beside the signboard. Seats are spacious enough and the waitresses were helpful and prompt in their service (again it may be because of the time).

However there was a group of diners beside us in the other corner who were laughing their lungs out, and the acoustic of the restaurant seemed to echo the already-loud laughter even louder. Not so conducive for 2 very tired persons who just want to have a hot, comfy noodle soup.

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.

[closed] Shin Yeh Bistro @Square 2

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.

La Ristrettos Coffee Boutique

Posted on 6 August 2013 by lendeliz

Little hide-out in Novena Medical Centre

This is a little hide-out on the 8th floor of Novena Medical Centre, with limited indoor and outdoor seating. Its actually quite lovely to sit outdoors with the huge overhead umbrella and greenery surrounding you when the weather is not too hot.

This little joint serves sandwiches and pasta, and of course, coffee! Heard that the coffee is excellent, but since I’m a tea-drinker, can’t comment on this =p

Crab and Angel Hair Pasta

Had the crab and angel hair pasta today. Tangy with a little heat from the small chillies, and hint of alcohol from the white wine sauce, it was a very delicious meal, worth the 20-min wait… it certainly brightened up my day =)
