This eighteen chefs outlet at The Cathay is one of the many outlets opened. I thought this is the only one.

Their menu looks good but is not. The service could be better. Ordered the aglio olio and set B. Set B is served with drinks and soup. The mushroom is good, enough mushroom taste and not diluted. However, the aglio olio pasta is bland. It is just pasta that was cooked in boiling water and not fried well with olive oil. The temperature of the fire is not enough such that the fragrant of the dish is not set out. The sauce on top of the chicken taste a bit weird, not the normal mushroom sauce. Overall, the dish is not worth it.

Heard a lot about eighteen chefs and decided to try it. I went to the one at dhoby ghaut. The first time I pass by it the menu outside looks interesting. They hav western pasta and baked rice at a cheap price. You can choose from the menu or the be your own chef. This concept is quite new. I tried the double cheese baked rice with cream white sauce and pan - grilled fish. The baked rice came and I can see that the rice is white rice and flavoured rice. It looks like any normal baked rice but it is not served hot, which is disappointing. It is suppose to be double cheese but taste like just a normal layer. It doesn't have a different mozzarella cheese as described. The pan - grilled fish looks like fried chicken. At first I thought they got me the wrong dish. The fish is salty. The rice is plain and not fragrant at all. I do not find it worth it! I could have baked this at home and achieve a better taste.

The menu is quite messy with the student offer. Probably they should have taken our order set by set rather than altogether. The service of the staff is not good as well. They do not serve with a smile and the staff talk to each other loudly in front of the customers.

Standing sushi bar, it has 2 outlets. One is at bras basah beside SAM and food for thought. On Mondays and Thursdays, their salmon sashimi is $3 for 5 pieces. It's no wonder there is always a long queue. Even when we reach there at 6.30pm, we still have to wait for 30 - 60mins.

Some of the other dishes like maki is quite expensive. The Don is still considered pretty reasonable. The service is ok, though they will ask if you need to order more if not they will pass the bill to you without you asking. This is their way of chasing customers away after they are done so that others can enter.

The sashimi is thick and juicy as shown in the photos. It is satisfying though it would be better if served cold. Usually I will get sick of it after 2 plates as more of it without other sushi to go along will be too much to take. The sashimi is fresh and worth it!

This is one of the dishes you would expect from Zi char stalls in Singapore. Instead of cereal prawns, they have cereal tofu. A plate like this has about 6 pieces of fried egg tofu that cost $12. The cereal they give is abundant. Some days it is more fragrant than others though. Overall, the cereal outside is crispy and the tofu inside is tender. You can give it a try.

Located at the historical lao pa sat, this bbq seafood stall is blooming with business. There are some dishes that went out of stock during dinner.

I ordered the bbq stingray and the yam ring. The stingray is good, the chilli on top is with fried small prawns (hay bee hiam), very fragrant and spicy enough. The fish is tender and quite thick with meat. quite satisfying. However, the yam ring is not as wonderful. It does not have the yam taste and is white in colour, which is considered quite bland. The stir fried chicken and vegetables with dried chilli inside the ring taste normal only.

These two dishes with 3 plates of plain white rice cost S$43, which is very expensive. I could have ordered at other hawker for a cheaper price, so this is not as worth in my opinion.
