Came to Dr.CAFE at 112 katong and I'm pretty happy with this cafe chain. I always prefer hot drinks over cold ones. Ordered the hot caramel macchiato latte and I love it! Although, aesthetically, this was one of the most ugly and not creative design... but doesn't matter la. Anyway, the sweetness was just nice for me. It costs $6 for your info, and I think this drink scores for me.

Just thinking about it makes me wanna go back haha. Try it if you wish I suggest trying out the cakes as well, but I was too full to do so!
Well, next time!

Rushed down from work to Plaza Singapura for dimsum buffet.
I came across this LaoBeijing dim sum buffet which costs $11.80+ from 3 to 530.
See here http://www.laobeijing.com.sg/pdf/hi-tea.pdf
Knew I had to go down and test it for myself, since it was cheap.

I should let you know that the price is in fact, $12.80++ (they've increased their price, BUT THEIR WEBSITE DID NOT REFLECT IT!), and the timing has changed to 3 to 5pm.
And guess what, on the board, it said that the last order would 15 minutes before closing time, but the waitresses came and told us to order our last dishes half an hour before.
Shitty service.

Anyway, since I rushed down from work, I only reached the place at 4pm - yeah, so lugi.
In actual fact, I was only able to dine for around 1 hour.

Their dim sum were rather horrible, to be honest.
Don't expect a lot of variety either, I felt conned because the pdf menu listed so many options to choose from.

Most of the dishes were disappointing.
Dan Dan Mian below. This was different from what I'd tried at Din Tai Fung.
I thought dan dan mian was supposed to have peanut sauce? Correct me if I'm wrong.
This is probably a different version, as it was soupy.
Well, I preferred DTF's though.Xiao Long Bao!
This was supposed to be my main highlight. I foresee myself eating many xlb to make my buffet trip worth.
Guess what, this was the only basket I ordered, and I only ate 2.
I officially declare this as the worst XLB I've ever tasted.
It's the meat's quality, I say.Paid around $15 per pax.
The price is decent, but for the standards, and the lack of variety, I'm NEVER EVER EVER coming back again.

Reached Bugis+ around 6.30pm and there was long queues for quite a few restaurants there.
Settled for Poulet, and queued for approximately half an hour?
Poulet is a a casual French dining restaurant, btw.Baby Lamb Shank stewed with Root Vegetables and Rosemary in its own jus infused with Orange

I had the lamb shank. There was a lingering lamb smell, but it wasn't that pungent.
The sauce was great and flavourful.
The lamb meat was pretty generous as well, for the $15.90++ pricing.
But I didn't manage to finish the whole plate, because the dish felt too bland on its own after eating for long

A pity I didn't order the tiramisu. it looks good enough for girlfriends to share, since the portion looked rather huge.
Will head back to try out more, especially its signature roast chicken!

Came here twice so far already, because the first time I tried, I fell in love with their hor fun sauce.
Never knew how delicious ipoh hor fun could taste haha

Well, judging by the queue, my love for it is not wrong!the first time I tried, I had their fried fish hor fun.
Their fried fish was good, coupled with my love, mayonaise.
Hor Fun is delicious with the sauce, i'm drooling as I type.

the next time i had it, i ordered the chicken hor fun.
it seems to be that their chicken is marinated too - it was delicious.
I finished the whole plate.

But mind you, this makes you hungry just after 3 hours (at least for me), but it was worth it!

Queue was pretty fast too

Came during the lunch hours, and was served by a friendly staff.
But other than the service, everything was pretty average.

Prices are too exorbitant, for the quality of food.
I had the eggs florentine, $26++Only managed to clear half the plate.
Felt sick of the dish after 2 mouthful, because of the hollandaise sauce - way too buttery that makes the dish hard to stomach.
The only part I like about this dish was the GRILLED TOMATO -.-
Suggest against ordering this dish.

Next, there was a soup of the day, which was the carrot soup.
Very jelat after 2 mouthfuls too. Okay, now that I'm typing these, I just recalled they forgot to serve me my orange juice (rofl)

Will I come back again? definitely, NO
