Xin wang is a hong kong cafe and it was well decorated.It also has hong kong style western food like chicken chop with spaghetti and pork chop with fries. We ordered the spicy minced pork porridge and was glad that it was not too spicy and the porridge was served hot and smooth. We decided to have the luncheon meat with egg sandwich. The bread was soft and the luncheon meat was thick and juicy. To complete the meal, we ordered the Snow ice series with red bean and one scoop of ice cream. The sweetness of the snow ice melts in my mouth. The place has a chill out atmosphere and great to spend a good afternoon with friends just chit-chatting.

My friend and I worked at chinatown so we went to swenson at chinatown point during our lunchtime. There was a crowd in the restaurant and we had to queue 10 minutes before we can get a seat. We like the dim lighting inside the restaurant and it had a laidback atmosphere. We tried the other swensons outlet and had a pleasant experience but this outlet did not dissapoint us too. There was a set lunch promotion and the chicken baked rice was creamy and i like the cheesy texture on top of the rice.The chicken strips were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. As it was my friend's birthday, we can get a complimentary Fire house happy birthday which consists of 3 scoops of ice cream and half slice of banana with whipped cream and cherry on top! Thanks to the helpful waitress helped us to take picture of me and my friend.

The secret recipe at anchorpoint was located just opposite the KFC at level one. The place was small and cosy and we choose a window seat that could see the traffic outside. The waiter and waitress there were all Malay but they were attentive to us. As we were quite full as we had a late breakfast, we just ordered chicken wings and marinated chicken satay and 2 butter rice. The chicken wing comes in 4 in a basket and was marinated with spices and were very flavorful. It was only $7.90! The chicken satay was tender and different from the satay sold at the hawker centre. It had more meat in a skewer and was not hard. It was served piping hot and the meat was tenderised. But there was one thing which i don't like is the serving were too little. Overall experience is fine.

My friend like Japanese food so we went to Ootoya Japanese restaurant for lunch. The place has a relaxed atmosphere upon entering. The place is decorated with simple furnishings like flowers in vase and low lightning. We decided to order the Breaded Pork set with eggs as the set comes with an appetizer and a soup. The scallop rice looks delicious on the menu so we ordered it too. The waitress who is a filipino is friendly and patient enough to wait for us to take our order. When the set arrived, the presentation was fantastic and the food looks tempting.As for taste, the breaded pork was not salty and healthy but i find the pork abit tough to the bite. They served cold water and it was top up by the waitress quite regularly. To finish our meal with something sweet, we have the green tea macha ice cream with red bean. It comes with syrup and the green tea was bitter sweet and refreshing, We will return again although the price is abit on the expensive side.

Getting sick of eating at the coffee shop, we passed by the Toast Box at suntec city and decided to give it a try. We ordered the laksa noodles promotion at $5.95 that comes with barley drink to complete the meal. There was a generous serving of rice noodles,prawns, fish cake and some tau pok in the laksa.However, there was no cockles in the dish. The laksa gravy didnt failed to dissapoint me as it was thick and creamy. But i hope the gravy can be more spicy as i was a chilli lover. The mee siam was abit dissapointing as it tastes abit bland and sour and the ingredients was only an egg and some beansprouts. Toast box is famous for its coffee and I find the coffee was at the right taste and consistency as it was not too bitter and sweet and kept me awake and wanted to order another cup. The barley was cold and refreshing and best to drink on a hot afternoon day.
