I ordered a ½ chicken with 2 sides ($22.90) which are peri chips and peri potato salad. The ½ chicken tasted just like normaly roasted chicken, nothing very special. The peri chips were similar to mac donald’s shaker fries, however the seasoning is better. The potato salad was a winner, it was smooth and tasty and the portion was just right. When ordering chicken, you will be asked for the spicy-ness level you want. A word of advice, just order the mild peri peri flavour if you are unsure because there are 4 bottles of 3 different chilli sauce (mild, hot and extra hot) and 1 bottle of lemon and herb on each table. You can always add more chilli on your own.

Serenity Spanish Bar and Restaurant is located at the ground floor of Vivocity. If you request for alfresco dining, you will get a seat overlooking Sentosa – the view is gorgeous at night. And not to worry, we did not encounter any mosquitoes there.

We ordered a starter: Albondigas. Its basically 2 huge beef balls with a tomato sauce, onions and peas. I especially liked this dish because of their generous tomato sauce topping. However, given the tiny portion, I felt it was rather pricey.

We also ordered the paella Valencia. Which is a rice dish with seafoods such as prawn, mussels, fish, squid and also chicken and chinese sausage. I found Serenity’s paella no different from other paellas I’ve sampled before. Though this is the first time I’ve tried a paella with chinese sausage!

after walking through the myriad of shops at TAKA food basement, i decided to have the tapoyaki. it costs $2.50 for 3 pieces and we did not have to wait. we got the pre-made ones but it was still very hot. there was option for octopus, prawn or bacon and I opted for the octopus one. fish flakes and mayonnaise was added on top of their own "tapoyaki" brown sauce. Together it tasted great and the tapoyaki was just nice on the outside, but soft and creamy on the inside

We ordered Jumbo’s signature dish: the Jumbo Chili Crab, and of course we would not have forgetten to order the must-have side dish – fried man tou. What I like about Jumbo’s chili crab is the sauce. It isn’t far too spicy and oily like many chili crab dishes in Singapore, and it is unique to jumbo. Moreover, the crabs are always fresh and the served with their shells cracked slightly, making your life easier when struggling to crack open the crabs.

Additionally, you can buy the packaged version of jumbo’s chili crab sauce back home to try and prepare your own home cooked jumbo chili crab. We bought 2 of the packages ( 1 chili and 1 black paper), but have yet to try them out.

A great place for group gatherings, though remember to go very early to queue up to secure your seats. Early as in before 6pm early.

Food wise, the selection was decent, there were meats, kimchi, watermelon, vegetables for wrapping the cooked meats in, and mushrooms. The meats were well seasoned, I particularly liked one type that tasted a bit like char siew (though I couldn’t tell what sort of meat that was. Just look for a reddish sauce one). Service was very prompt- they changed the aluminum foil on our hot plate many many times without us prompting them. Drinks are self service bottles of cold water.

My complaint about 2D1N is its very hot and stuffy in the restaurant and everybody’s sweating like crazy throughout the meal. Being a Korean bbq, expect to stink up your hair and clothes.
