Cosy and Comfy OK Nov 02, 2012

Categories : Hotel

Had a family gathering here last Sunday - ambience and service was great. Food was not too bad too. It's a taiwan porridge buffet, and there were the usual salted eggs, preserved tofu and vegetables which were fresh and delicious. There was soya sauce chicken, braised pork, braised egg, beancurd, vegetables and steam fish. The best part though was the dessert! Tangyuan in a very yummy ginger soup. Several of us had more than 1 helping! Coffe / tea provided, the only thing lacking was perhaps a soup.
Service was friendly and the place cosy for a family get-together. smile

Pizza at Chijmes OK Oct 22, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Pasta

Have eaten here a few times over the years but never reviewd. Had dinner there with B on Fri night. Place was not too packed, and we were seated promptly. We ordered the eggplant ( melazane parmigiana) and pork sausage pizza( salsiccia e scarmoza). The eggplant was interestingly mashed before it was baked with generous amounts of cheese, but it was slightly too cheesy and mushy. The pizza was good.. I love the texture of the crust. Slightly small in size for price ($23), but good to be shared by 2. Overall, ok, but quality and size of dishes seems to have dropped a bit over the past year.The service was passable, but I do love al fresco dining!smile

Sausage frenzy Smile Oct 22, 2012

First time visit to Star Vista! Brotzeit outlet was surprisingly as crowded as the outlet at Raffles City, efen at 9 ishpm! We tried the grilled pork sausage and the cold cut salad. The salad was generously topped with lean ham strips and bits, with just the right amount of dressing. Very enjoyable. The grilled sausages were nice, but ordinary. I usually love sauerkraut, and can eat additional helpings, but that night it seemed a bit rich and we couldn't finish the extra portion between us. Beers great as usual. Not too bad, but I would still say the Raffles City branch has better food.

Went for Sunday buffet dinner with family. Place was nice and cosy, and service was good too. Food was fairly good - a good mix of western and local cuisine. My family liked the oxtail ( nicely done stew) while I thought the soft shell crab with chicken floss was great! Salmon sashimi was fresh, and durian crumble looked interesting and is a must try if you like durians. 1 for 1 promotion currently with citibank... Good experince overall!

Soup Delights Smile Jul 18, 2012

Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Chinese Soup

This is my favourite Soup restaurantsmile, having tried their outlets at Suntec City, City Square Mall and Seah St. Partly, it's the ambience - the interior of the restaurant is cosy and quaint. The food at this outlet also seems to be tastier than their City Square counterpart!
Me and B usually order the Samsui chicken, Soup (of course!) and a veggie. The soups are yummy - I have tried several of their individual soups including soups for specific indications eg. lethargy, detoxification etc. That Tuesday, we decided to just try the Soup of the Day ( for 2) which was a familiar soup from childhood - lotus root with pork-rib soup. It was great ! Piping hot in a ceramic pot, it was tasty and not too oily. The Samsui chicken is their specialtysmile - best part of the meal is to wrap the chicken slices in the lettuce provided and add a good heap of their divine, famous ginger! We had their Ah Kong Sweet potato leaves as our vegetable dish that day, and although it was nice, the star of the meal was, as usual the chicken.tongue
We didn't order this dish as there were only 2 of us, but the other great dish we tried previously was the minced pork with water chestnut... it's a simple dish, but one that makes me nostalgic for my late grandmother's steamed minced pork.smile If the Samsui chicken was available in a smaller portion, i would be happy to order both meats! However, as it is, the 3 dishes between the 2 of us was already quite sufficient.
One of my favourite places to go to when craving good, old-fashioned, "home-cooked"-style Chinese food.
