Having an IKEA on this side of the island is a blessing!
Meatballs

Meatballs

 
Of course, the first food to be reviewed must be the MEATBALLS. I have always loved IKEA meatballs. However, on this day, when I saw the meatballs, I was shocked to find that the meatballs changed shape and texture! ;_; I didn't like it but I finished it with the perfect potatoes, sauce and jam~
Chicken Rice

Chicken Rice

 
That was Chicken Rice, the special of that day. It was good!~ The chicken wing is their very own chicken wing that everybody loves. The taste cannot be found elsewhere! ♥ The chilli and fishcake really went well together with the fragrant rice! The rice was a success because it's really close to the real Hainanese chicken rice!

Other specials that I've tasted before include really good Curry Chicken, Nasi Briyani, Mee Siam.

Their malay food corner also serves really nice fare!
Juice

Juice

 
I love this juice.
Mushroom Soup

Mushroom Soup

 
Mushroom soup that had a bit of "grass" taste. It's not that bad a thing, but it didn't help to add credit to the soup.
Poached Salmon

Poached Salmon

 
Poached Salmon, yummy. Fresh fish with potatoes and broccoli plus the great creamy sauce. A really fantastic combination.

I want to say this again: Having an IKEA on this side of the island is a blessing!

Consistency is There Smile Aug 07, 2013

Din Tai Fung is good at maintaining tastes and that's really high quality service!

 
The Beef Noodles was so good!! It was not too salty nor was it too strong in the taste (浓) such that you gag. The beef was really tender! Usually beef can be quite hard in other restaurants and I'm glad the D.T.F. did a great job! The noodles did not stick together and was QQ~

 
Every time, I would order this Drunken Chicken! It's always nice and the standard did not drop from the last time I visited this place! Hence my opening sentence.

 
Smoked Duck was new on the menu in September 2012. It was awesome!! The duck meat was really soft! The popiah skin was crispy and the vegetables used really made the entire flavour come out, it's very fragrant!

 
Wanton soup was really delicious! I love the wanton skin!

 
Crab XLBs! So juicy and so fresh! The crab taste was strong and I love it!

So Yummy and Colourful! Smile Jun 12, 2013

I was so happy to find out that BR opened a branch literally right in the middle of NEX! It is a very central location and really outstanding with such cheerful colours in its design! The queue was short, so we were lucky. There are really 31 tubs of ice-cream~! So cool!

The refreshing smoothie was the attraction that day, so my sister bought one with a scoop of Rainbow Sherbet. We also bought Mango Sherbet and Splish Splash Sherbet and another Rainbow Sherbet separately!

They taste really good! The mango sherbet was the sweetest among all these but it's not sweet enough to gag you. Rainbow Sherbet is an interesting mix of sweet and sour and it is just so pretty to look at.

 
I love anything that is blue, so naturally, this flavour's colour attracted me. The taste was really sour! So exciting! Haha

I'd love to go back and try out other flavours! ♥

Hickory Dickory Dock Smile Apr 15, 2013

As expected from a restaurant opening in Resorts World, they have excellent service! However, the price is not expensive as expected from restaurants opening in Resorts World. It is the usual very reasonable pricing of Astons restaurants with great food! Everyone loves a restaurant with no service charge and GST!

Hickory BBQ Chicken is delicious as any grilled chicken can be! Accompanied by their superb Tasty Rice and Baked Potato, it makes for a fulfilling lunch!

The ambience, decorations and design of the restaurant is also pleasing to the eyes and definitely help to lift the moods of hungry Sentosa visitors!

Little Pancakes was all over the media when it first opened. Before it opened, they also put in a lot of effort into promoting their opening on FaceBook.

It is situated along Upper Thomson Road and it has a direct bus stop. The building is very special because it is not by the pedestrian pavement, it is further inside with a big space and it has a very classic design from the olden English days.

With its highly recognisable icons of Mr and Mrs Pancakes as the design on the glass doors of Little Pancakes, you can be sure to press that bus bell in advance.

The menu is a few cards held together by a book ring. Everything is cute in this shop, even the girls making pancakes. They are all smiles when my friend and I entered the shop. It has a free feeling even though it's my first time there. We just sat down at a two-seater and looked at the menu without any need for assistance (unlike posh/posh-wannabe restaurants).

 

 
The shop is narrow but the distance between each set of tables is good enough. The decoration on the walls are quite nice and homely. The design of Mr and Mrs Pancake is cute too. A very good start for branding and merchandising.

The serving time was quite long in actual fact but we just chat and didn’t realise the time.

 
Iced Chocolate - $3.90

Quite sweet and thick! Yumz!

 
Apple Yakult Love - $3.70

Sweet and sour, it's really quite shiok and refreshing!

 
Something Blue - $8.50

I was pleasantly surprised by the size and amount of the pancakes, so cute and small, placed in stacks and on a square plate! The contrast is nice as everything's round. I especially like the placement, it's very artsy fartsy, haha! The blueberry yogurt in the shot glass is exciting with the sour and thick yogurt and the sweet blueberry jam!

It’s got blueberry yoghurt, maple syrup, butter, vanilla ice cream, blueberries and the little pancakes!! Not too sweet, very nice!!

 
Peanut Butter Time - $8.20

It’s got peanut butter, butter, bananas, vanilla ice cream and the little pancakes! Compared to my Something Blue, this dish seems really plain and ordinary. But for peanut butter and banana lovers, it's heaven! The placement is also nice and like the name suggests, "TIME"!

Overall, I really like the atmosphere of this little shop. Free and easy, cozy as well! I'd recommend this shop for a lazy afternoon high tea session with your friends and then chat the day away!
