Grilled dory OK Aug 31, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Singaporean Western | Kids-Friendly

I ordered the Grilled Fish Dory set at S$9.80 it comes along with 1 soup of the day and 1 drink and also Aglio Olio with Bacon at S$11.80.

For the grilled fish, the fries was crispy and nice, but the coleslaw was pretty average. The dory fish wasn't too bad but a little too dry, probably grilled for too long. If you're cream-based soup lover, you will love this mushroom soup! It also comes with garlic bread. The ice lemon tea was refreshing and nice.

The Aglio Olio was too oily, the olive oil taste was overwhelming and was a little too spicy. Definitely not worth the second try. However bacon was not too bad as it’s slightly crispy.

Waiting time and seats: I went at about 12.30pm on a weekday, the working crowd that filled up the restaurant, finding tables for small groups(2-3people) isn’t an issue, but for larger group (4 and above) you might want to consider arriving earlier. Waiting time for order to be taken was quite fast (about 5mins) despite having queue with estimated 10 people in front. Waiting time for main course to be ready takes about 10mins.

Great toast Smile Aug 31, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean

After my language lesson nearby, my friends suggested eating here for dinner. Surprisingly, there's not much people at around 6.30pm and it was great because we want to avoid the crowd. I supposed its location is not very near to the mrt station, which is why there's not much people despite it being dinner time. Head to the counter to order your food and it will be sent to you shortly!

I ordered the toast ($2, $1 for 1 toast) to share with my friend. I supposed by 1 toast, they mean one slice of the thick bread. It may look little but it's actually quite filling. At first I thought I've eaten French toast because there's quite a strong smell and taste of egg in the bread, but it's actually the kaya! One of the better toasts I've eaten so far. The bread is toasted to "not-too-dry" which is exactly what I like!! It leaves behind some softness of the bread after some toasting. Do give the toast a try! It left quite a deep impression on me.

Ordered the curry chicken with prata ($6.50) as well. The curry chicken was a little spicy for me (I don't take much spicy food). It has 3 chicken parts, and 2 halves of a potato. I think the portion was quite big, probably because I had the toast before this. I suggest sharing with your friend if you're having this not as a meal. The potato was slightly hard, the meat was probably cooked for too long. The curry was not bad, but it lacked freshness.

Steamboat OK Aug 28, 2013

Categories : Thai | Restaurant | Steamboat/Hot Pot | Buffet | Kids-Friendly

After staying at RWS for one night, my friends and I decided to have our lunch at Coca, which seems to be newly opened! And for $18.90++ (student price, valid for weekdays only), I think it's quite worth it, since it's a buffet! We didn't have to queue very long even though we reached around 1pm, we got seats immediately.

There wasn't much variety on the lunch menu that we can choose from, so a lot of food were repetitive for us. Fish Ravioli is quite nice though, good to try. For the meats, not sure if it's the meat or we did not cook long enough, it tasted very soft and jelly, so we stopped ordering that after one round. Prawns are quite fresh as well, we ordered quite a lot of that and saw other tables ordering that too. Taste-wise, the food was okay. Soup base was just normal as well. I like that the table was quite big to place all of the plates of food that we ordered.

Service was not very efficient as we had to wait very long to get attention from the staff just to refill our water. Sometimes we even had to remind them that we need our water to be refilled! But our order came quite fast though. We also had to call for our bill twice also. One of the staff was quite rude during payment as she insisted that we should have told them beforehand that we were students and that she had already keyed in the amount to the register. Anyway the payment took around 10mins, it was very slow!

affordable western food OK Aug 25, 2013

Hans has affordable set lunches and do head there if you're thinking affordable plus quality food! I ordered a grilled fish dory set ($9.80) that comes with soup of the day and a drink of your choice. There's no extra service charge or GST as it's all included in the price that you see on the menu already.

The soup comes with garlic bread as well. It tastes quite hard so you've to dip the bread into the soup! The mushroom soup is quite nice.

 
The grilled dory fish was quite a thick slice, and I didn't think it was that nice, not much flavour. It's as though the marinating wasn't done properly and I was just eating a normal piece of white steamed fish that was slightly grilled. Adding some lemon juice over the fish didn't help to improve the taste at all. However the coleslaw and wedges were great!

 


Even so, I will still come back to hans to try their spaghetti next time!

dim sum  OK Aug 25, 2013

We ordered Roasted Pork, Crystal Jade Congee, Shrimp Chee Cheong Fun, Prawn Dumplings, Siew Mai, Steamed BBQ Pork Buns and Custard Buns. Total bill was $52! The food had nothing much to rave about, except for the roasted pork, I recommend it because it's quite crispy and succulent. It also came with mustard sauce which was rather… unusual!

Don't order the custard bun, if you're thinking that the custard will ooze out. The custard did not ooze out at all, it’s actually quite little and the bun was a tad too thick. Oh, plain water costs $0.30, basically everything there costs money, including the wet tissue and pickles/peanuts. Service was rather efficient, we didn't have to queue very long to get a table despite a huge crowd outside on a Saturday afternoon.
