3 of us ladies popped by for a quick dinner - my1st visit to the place in fact. Thankfully not too crowded it was an early dinner on a Sat. The place was nonetheless buzzing with mostly younger crowd and families; staff team seemed to be quite busy too. Prices were reasonable with total adding up to $70 for 3pax. Service could improve though with staff being quite unstable when serving food. The tables also have very tight elbow space - good for eavesdropping on your neighbours. Yuzu Yoghurt ($5.80) - Refreshingly light and easy to take to.

Food quality is below average compared to Taste Paradise.   We have 4 dishes and 1 fried rice.  Nothing impressive for me to write about. There no ppl queuing yet no one came to us for more than 5 mins. So we walk to a table in the restaurant ourselves. Then ordered ice milk tea which taste like coffeshop standard. Realised forgot to order almond paste dessert. Shrimp paste chicken is quite alright except that some pieces has a rather strong "frozen" taste.

I've been here a few times and found the quality/value of the dim sum to be very acceptable. My usual favourites like har gow, siu mai, char siu bao etc are served nice and hot, with large portion sizes. Pricing is reasonable and location very handy for snack in between shopping at 313, and if you need a break from the air con (this is outdoors but under shelter). Service is also fine if you need any additional chilli or sauces, etc. I'm sure i'll be back again for more.

What the BM mudpie is: a rock-solid, frosty block of ice cream, hesitantly topped with crumbled Oreos. There was nothing gooey about this. Rather, it just melted in an unattractive and lazy manner. Also, there was none of the promised chocolatey overload. Because the block of frozen ice cream was one-third chocolate. The other thirds were coffee and strawberry (the latter an alarming shade of hot pink).

it was a pleasant experience at Charlie Brown cafe, though the food was so-so. I spent $30 in total, but due to the 50% gmarket coupon voucher discount, I spent $15 only. Hence, for this value, it was a good bargain.

Service was okay, the staff seemed to enjoy their jobs. Waiting time was 15 minutes.

We ordered lasagne. My boyfriend and I ordered chicken lasagne(7/10), came in an aluminum plate. The taste was good, even though I strongly felt that portion should be bigger, and presentation has much room for improvement.

Met up for shopping with my best friend, and decided to have dinner at F.I.S.H. By Fish & Co.. 

I think F.I.S.H. By Fish & Co. is an interesting new take on their existing brand, and my dining experience here left me wishing they would open more such restaurants. 

Ambience was decent, with a clean, minimalist type of layout and decor. 

I think the service that night was pretty good, I know we bothered the waiter / waitresses quite a few times. my favorite dish is Seafood Cannelloni, it is very nice and great choice

Right now they are having lunch promotion which entitle you to a burger of your choice from their promotion menu, one side and a drink for $10.80.

went there twice and order the same thing - chicken Cesar burger, thick cut fries and ice lemon tee. not stingy with their portion (though it's lunch promotion) and i thought the chicken meat was cook to perfection (not dry but juicy still).

try their nutella milkshake too! very very thick shake with chunks of nutella and roasted mash mellows. 

will definitely go back again to try on their other burgers.

We orders the dou miao with garlic, xiao long bao, dumplings with black vinegar/chilli, la mian with minced pork and black beans. The food was excellent, every dish done really well, so very satisfying. I especially enjoyed the xiao long bao which goes so well with the vinegar/soy and ginger. An excellent place to come for some dim sum, and also to bring tourists/visitors for the experience.

Food:  I've long since learned to focus on the key items in a Japanese buffet and not to waste time with the Udon,  fried rice,  deep fried chicken,  green salads, and potato chips,  which are not typically Japanese.  I started with a large dish of shashimi - tuna, salmon and squid (ika).  The tuna was particularly fresh and tasty compared to other joints that tend to serve mushy tuna. 
Ambience:  It's a reasonable sized restaurant with small tables and chairs but it was unusually crowded on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch

I have been there several time, it's not a fine dining restaurant, but the food they make is very good!  That's why this Restaurant is visited by locals and tourists.....a piece of Europe in Singapore!
Plain Swiss Rosti with Sour Cream. We have always love Rosti as we find the idea of strings of potatoes fried together to form a sort of patty amusing and delicious at the same time. The rosti at Marché never fails to disappoint as it is crisp at the top and bottom, and soft in the middle - the best of both worlds.

Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant is among the few restaurants in Singapore that serve authentic German / Bavarian food. 
Their Sausage Platter is a good sampler of the various types of German sausages. There are 5 different varieties; a spicy chicken sausage (Huhnerwurst), a cheese pork sausage (Kasekrainer), a garlic pork sausage (Knoblauchwurst), a mix veal and pork sausage (Weisswurst), and a traditional pork bratwurst sausage (Nurnberger).

Had to frequent 313 Somerset quite a bit for the last couple of months. Usually I will grab a light dinner before going for my dealings and eating another light home-cooked dinner thereafter.

And so, I had the chance to frequent the Food Hall @ 313 Somerset quite a bit.

One of the more tasty treats I had, have to come from the Flying Bread. And it help that they were having an offer of topping $2 for a choice of shakes. I had the avocado shake, decent, thick and  the swirl of chocolate. Not too bad, although I would have loved it if gula melaka was used.

The concept at Medzs is very similar to Marche, but when it comes to the execution, they're very different. Medzs offers Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Food, as well as a much wider and more varied range of desserts. 

Much of the service at Medzs is self-service, where after placing an order, you'll be given an alarm to notify you when your food is ready. Food generally takes around 5 to 10 minutes to prepare, even on busy days. I noticed that if your alarm buzzes more than 3 times, the staff will bring your order and look for you. Thumbs up for that! 

Ambience at Medzs is average, like a casual restaurant / food court, although the food counters tend to be better decorated. The false rock counters do make the place seem more Mediterranean, but those aside, the rest of Medzs looks like a typical Singaporean food court. Little pebbles on each table have the table number written on them, flip them over to reserve the table you want. 
I love their rosti. it is very worth, big portion as this price.

A generous amount of strawberries used, the looks of the sweet-looking strawberries drew me to it in the first place. Perhaps it wasn't the season of berries; it turned out rather disappointing with sour strawberries with every bite. Though the cake was light, it tasted a tad too compact and felt like pound cake after a while. There was a refreshing lemon infused into the cake which gave it a slight twist. The crumbly bits added more texture to the otherwise boring cake. It could have been better if the strawberries weren't limited to the top layer and were interspersed throughout for it to taste like a strawberry soufflé instead of a light lemon pound cake with strawberries.
Still okay

Really love the fish soup here, it’s so fragrant and nice and just soothing. Only drawback is the mile long queue so will suggest visiting either before or after lunch but definitely visiting it. Service was brisk and efficient. I'm impressed with the aunty who has an elephant memory and lighting fast mental math abilities. She doesn't even bat an eyelid when I pass her a big $50 note and passes me the change with a smile.
