We bought a big plate of assorted fruits and jelly as dessert after a hearty meal. The fruit platter consists of:

2x slices watermelon
2x slices rock melon
2x kiwi
2x jelly

Total cost is $7.40.Fruit were generally alright, watermelon and rock melon were not very sweet, the kiwi was a little sourish though. The jelly slices were sweet and refreshing...very nice.

We purchased vouchers from Deal.com at $48nett per pax for Buffet dinner at Royal Palm on National Day. The buffet consists of several kinds of local delicacies and free flow of soft drinks.The spread...My food choices...

Satay and fried chicken wings
The satay was very dry, not nice. The fried chicken wings were quite nice, we dipped them in the satay peanut sauce which is quite good.Sushi, baby octopus, jelly fish & fresh prawns
Sushi and fresh prawns were quite yummy...so was the baby octopus. The only disappointment was the jelly fish, it was fishy and tasteless.Hokkien mee, chili crab & carrot cake
The chili crab is nice and spicy. The hokkien mee & carrot cake was dry and tasteless!Cold soba, chicken & nasi bryani and gado gado
The soba was alright. The nasi bryani was very good, rice was soft and fragrant and chicken has smoky aroma. Gado gado was pretty tasty too, I love the sauce!Fruits & mango pudding
These were ok, the pudding was a tad sweet though.Overall dining experience was decent, service staff was friendly but clearing of dishes and refilling of drinks was rather slow. Food wise, mostly mediocre. But we do enjoy the Al fresco dining experience and being able to see NDP fireworks while we dine

My colleague is driving today so 3 of us went out to Hougang for lunch. We saw this rather new chinese restaurant so decided to give it a try..

We ordered 6 dishes to share...

Seafood porridge 艇仔粥 $5.80++
The porridge is smooth but the ingredients (fish slice & cuttle fish) were very little. Prawn rice rolls $4.50++
This is not too bad, prawn is fresh and skin is slightly thick.Xiao Long Bao $3.80++
This is nice, skin is thin and has meat juice inside.Custard bun $3.80++
The salted egg yolk custard is creamy and runny when bun is teared open...nice!Prawn dumpling $4.20++
The prawns are fresh, not bad.Roast pork belly $9.00++
Skin is extremely crispy and meat is thick...thumbs up.

This is my usual haunt for lunch during weekends. A cooling day after the rain calls for a warm and soupy lunch. Yong Tau Foo. Average price for each item sold here is $0.60. I picked 7 items plus meehoon. Total bill came up to be $4.80. The soup base was rather bland, ingredients were fresh but none really impresses me. All tasted very ordinary. The mushrooms and tomatoes weren't even stuffed with any fish paste. They were sold as it is. Not fantastic at all.

I was with a friend looking for lunch venue at Holland V, chanced upon this outlet that serves all day breakfast. My friend is very keen to try so we went in and got seated immediately. This place is rather small with few tables indoors and another fewer tables outdoor.After checking out what's on offer on the menu, I decided to have the Usual Suspects $16.00++ and a Cup of hot chocolate.Usual Suspects
Consists of two eggs cooked in preferred style, choice of bacon/ham/sausage, baked beans, sauteed potatoes, toast and choice of coffee/tea. I chose to top up $2 for hot chocolate instead.My sunny side up were done just right with runny yolk. The sausages, baked beans and sauteed potatoes were quite tasty, toast was crispy...overall, a satisfying 'Big' breakfast.The hot chocolate drink on the other hand just tasted ordinary.

The service here was decent, no complains. However, I find the menu items here pretty limited and prices were a tad high for just breakfast. I will only recommend this place for fans of ang moh breakfast..
