I have always wanted to pay this Korean restaurant located on the first floor of Far East Plaza a visit, but the prices were something that always stopped. Recently I found out that they actually quite affordable lunch specials so I immediately went for it!

Like most Korean restaurants, Korean side dishes is a must. I guess you can say that they are quite generous with their side dishes, with a decent variety as well.My favourite of the side dishes is definitely the bean spouts. I have a irrational weakness for Korean bean spouts which is quite surprising cos I hate the one we usually have locally.

The Spinach, ikan bilis and Kimchi are nice too. Not too fond of the rest.

Between me and my friend, we ordered 2 sets to share, which are the Seafood Bean Paste Soup & the Pork Bulgogi Hot Plate set.Seafood Bean Paste Soup ($12.80++)

I love Korean Bean Paste soup so this is usually a must-order for me. I think the soup here is great, not too salty with just enough spiciness and tons of ingredients in it. I would order this again.Pork Bulgogi Hot Plate ($12.80++)

Their Pork Bulgogi Hot Plate is average for me. The pork pieces are just the right sizes, cooked to the right texture and chewiness. Would recommend to people who likes Korean Bulgogi..

Overall, the service here is great and the staffs are attentive to what you need. Their A la Carte is on the slightly expensive side but their lunch specials are really affordable at $12.80 per set.They also provide these cute little wet towels to clean your hands with when you are done with your meal!

What first caught my attention for this food stall at The Central (Clarke Quay) is the price! Most of their set meals are along the range of $5-$6, which is very affordable indeed.I ordered their Saba Fish set at $5.50 which comes with a generous portion of Saba fish with a bowl of rice and miso soup.

Their Saba is absolutely delicious! Grilled to perfection with crispy & salty skin, but yet soft and juicy on the inside. This is one of the best grilled Saba I had ever had and it's only $5.50!

The downside is that the rice is not fantastic but edible, and the soup is quite bland. But I guess they are just sides, the fish is the main focus and it's super good, and that's all that matters.

Highly recommended.

Susan Chan Food is one of my favourite place to go for Zi Char. Conveniently located at Far East Plaza, I will always come here for dinner after some shopping.The Prawn Paste Chicken is okay, crispy on the outside, soft & tender on the inside. But somehow I just feel that there is something missing. I would think it's average only.. not till fantastic.Enoki mushroom with spinach and beancurd is quite a surprise for me. The highlight for this dish is probably the gravy which is thick and yummy. Goes really well with rice. The vegetables are crunchy and paired with the soft beancurd.. a rather divine combination.Sichuan Soup is probably my favourite out of all dishes at Susan Chan. It's just a little spicy and every mouth is full of ingredients. There's also bamboo shoots in the soup which gives a crunchy bite once in a while.

You are warned not to order too many dishes if you are ordering this soup as the starchy soup is quite filling and I often find myself really full after that.

Sik Wai Sin Eating House is a restaurant with an attitude. With a no reservations no menu policy, be sure to come early to book a seat as the restaurant tends to get really crowded during lunch time and on weekends.Situated along Geylang road, Sik Wai Sin had been around for more than 60 years. Now passed on to the second generations, Sik Wai Sin continues to serve delicious home-cook styled Cantonese dishes that many old timers continues to come back for.

Serving only a total of about 8 different dishes a day, the restaurant doesnt provide any physical menu and you'll have to check with the staffs what are available on that day. Ingredients are also limited thus once the ingredients are out for the day, they would stop serving the dish. This is probably one of the reason why the restaurant is more crowded during lunch time - when most of the dishes are still available. Cantonese are really well-known for their soups, so soup we must have! Though clear, their Watercress Pork Ribs Soup is packed with flavour and plenty of ingredients. In fact, there are so much pork ribs and watercress that there's not much space for the soup.. which is a pity as the soup is really nice!This is probably my favourite dish that I had tried that day! With thick & flavourful gravy that goes really well with rice, and tofu that is oh so soft & yummy~ Definite must have! Highly recommended.This is smaller portion of half Song Fish head, another signature dish of Sik Wai Sin and a really popular dish among fish lovers. I believe they also serve the whole fish head for bigger crowds or you can order that if you really love fish.

The Song fish head is steamed with generous amount of pork lard and bean paste that completely covers the fishy taste and brings out the freshness. Another highly recommended dish!

After visiting this place, I can really see how this place manages to survive & operate for so many years when it seems that their only form of promotion is via word of mouth. Even though their food seems more homely than lavish, this is a place that you will never forget once you have tried it!

My colleague recommended me this newly opened Thai restaurant at ION Orchard, telling me that it's a really popular restaurant chain in Thailand, with this Singapore outlet as their first outlet outside of Thailand! Decided to give this place a try since with the high reputation, the food must be good right?The first thing I noticed after I stepped into the restaurant is the nice, classy yet cozy ambiance of the restaurant, and the super friendly service staffs!

The restaurant is decorated with Thai traditional looking decors on their walls, with dim lighting and cozy seats. The entire place gave me a really good vibe straight from the beginning!I had a Hors d'oeuvre Nara to share with my company and I really liked it! Hors d'oeuvre Nara is mixture of some of their signature starters - a good set to order if you are not sure which to get.

From the set, Tord Mun Pla (Thai fish cakes) & Gai Hor Bai Toei (Pandan Chicken) really impressed me. Tord Mun Pla is chewy with a hint of Tom Yum. It's super flavourful and is my favourite from this platter set! Gai Hor Bai Toei is really good too. Wrapped and deep fried (?) in pandan leaf, the chicken is well marinated and packed with flavours of Thai spices!This is the first time I've tried Pad Thai and I was rather taken back by it as I thought it would be spicy from looking at the pictures, but it turned out to be quite sweet in taste. The noodles are rather springy in texture and surprisingly addictive. I'm not really used to having sweet noodles but I do like this dish. The prawns are really fresh & juicy too!For dessert, we ordered a large portion of Mango Sticky Rice which comes with a generous serving of coconut milk and mango. I'm not a fan of this dish as the glutinous rice and coconut milk are too sweet for me. However I do like how they're generous with their mango which are sweet with a tinge of sourness.

Overall it's an enjoyable meal of authentic Thai delicacies for me with great service to match! The staffs were really attentive and friendly, making us feel really welcomed. Kudos to them!There's a 10% opening promo going on so if you are thinking of giving this popular Thai restaurant chain a try, now is a good time!
