TGIF!! Decided to drive out to have dinner on a Friday evening after work. Hubby wanted to drive to Wawawa at Bedok reservoir but I thought it would be good to go on a weekend whereby we can reach there earlier to catch the beautiful sunset. In the end, we went to Bedok Point. I think basically Bedok Point is like a Food Mall with many restaurants, right from the 1st level. There was a especially long queue at "Chicken Hotpot" so I suppose the food is good there? I am not too sure as I have not tried it yet. After going from 1st level to the top level, we decided to go down to the 1st level again as we couldn't really make up our mind what to eat. Dilemma when you have too many choices.

We decided on Kungfu Paradise. When we reached the restaurant, a friendly staff apologized to us saying that there was no seat available and we might have to wait 20 to 25 minutes for a seat. As we almost wanted to walk away in disaapointment, I saw three tables of guests standing up, preparing to leave. I pointed to the staff, telling her that there was seat available. She politely told us to wait while she would go and clear the table. So in the end, we still got a table at Kungfu Paradise. This was my second time here actually.

I ordered the seafood hor fun. It was quite flavoursome and the prawns were very fresh.Hubby had noodles with egg and sausages. We ended our meal with this dessert which looked really colourful.As it is my hubby's birthday month, I told him to sign up for the Paradise loyalty card which can be used in all the 7 restaurants in the Paradise Group.

Gave my parents a little treat as I just got promoted. Whenever I run out of ideas on where to bring my parents out for meal, I will hop onto Dr Leslie's Tay blog and do a search on the Chinese food that he recommended. Through his blog, I found this little gem at Jalan Besar.

It offers nice Xiao Long Bao 小笼汤包 at an affordable price!

Sliced Pork Belly with Garlic and Chilli oil (Appetizer) ($4.80) Nice and tender. Thinly sliced such that it seemed that the fats melted in our mouth.自制家乡豆腐
Homemade Tofu ($10.80) Very soft and nice too.小笼汤包
Xiao Long Bao ($6.80 for 8)金牌脆皮锅贴
Pan Fried Dumpling ($6.80)Both the Xiao Long Bao and Fried Dumplings were nicely done. In general, I think the food here was really value-for-money. Recommended!

I was surprised that there was no queue at all on a weekday afternoon around 2pm. My previous trip with hubby here, we saw a long queue outside the restaurant. I quickly scanned through the menu that was put on the wall and decided to order Shoyu Ramen with 2 pieces of Char Siew. I walked into the restaurant, wanted to put down my bag, but the staff told me to go over to the cashier counter to make my payment first. I told her my order and she said the portion might be too big for me. I replied, only 2 pieces of Char Siew right? She looked at me again and said the Char Siew portion would be very big. Ok, I would order the smaller portion with one piece of Char Siew.

My bowl of ramen was served very shortly. Where is the Char Siew?There you are! You can see the size of the char siew relative to the bowl? I guess Baikohken is one of the most value-for-money ramen you can find in Singapore. My bowl of ramen cost $10.50 nett. However, a pity that the char siew was not very tender.The ramen are thick and curly type. However, I think taste-wise, it was just average.

This restaurant is not in Australia but in Singapore. A fairly new restaurant which I think is very popular amongst the office workers working near Raffles Place. It is located at a little corner on the 2nd level of Clifford Centre. I almost missed it because I didn't see the signboard of the restaurant. Reached there around 1pm and the restaurant was still pretty crowded.

While most of the staff working there are quite young, my food was being served to me by a very friendly auntie. Their fresh pasta cost around $15.50 while the normal dried ones cost a few dollars cheaper.

Wild Mushroom Soup
The soup was thick and I think it might be better than my favourite mushroom soup from "The Soup Spoon". I can come back again just for this mushroom soup!The staff recommended the following fresh pasta for me.
Summer Truffle Egg Tagliatelle ($15.50)
Egg Tagliatelle with summer truffles, Parmigiano-Reggiano and chives
The pasta was soft and this dish was really very flavoursome. Might not be a good choice to have this if you order the very rich and creamy mushroom soup in the same set.Total Bill: $9.90 as I bought the discount voucher from Streetdeal.sg

Although we have been staying in Pasir Ris for almost 5 years, this was the first time we came to Silvery Moon at Pasir Ris Park for dinner. I had chanced upon this place from reading a blog post. Most diners, mainly families with kids, would opt to sit inside the air-con restaurant whereas the smokers outside.

Hubby ordered Krombacher Weizen (Wheat Beer) - $11.50 which tasted sweet and refreshing.


Cranberry Juice - $2.50 (top-up with main course)


Hubby's Garlic Prawns and Steak. The steak was quite tough and difficult to cut.


I was quite satisfied with my huge portion of Breaded Chicken Schnitzels but the portion was really too big for me to finish on my own.
