To the chocolate lovers out there, do consider this.. at the dessert corner.Extremely rich and chocolatey.. the mousse holds firm throughout, not the type that will turn softer upon standing.Rather firm mouse which is equally rich in the chocolate flavour not like cream. It melts in the mouth and the sponge cake is also fluffy and but not too airy.. This is a big serving and rather substantial so be sure to save space if not u might be too full to stomach this.…Read More

The cala mari is VERY NICE!!!! Have to order if you are here. The wait is ard 5-7min which is very reasnable..Serving is not stingy.. we shared a serving amongst 6 people. Big rings... crispy cottony batter and the squid is so soft which is easy to chew.. not the rubbery sort. The squid is so fresh that without sauce, it tastes a little sweet! Must order!…Read More

We know Jumbo is known for their seafood.. but we decided to try a land creature today. We ordered venison stir fried with spring onion and ginger.Wow... lotsa 'wok flavour' - GOOD! The venison is so tender and flavourful. The gravy wasnt too watery, coats each piece nicely. In fact even the spring onions were cooked to perfection, not too cruchy (undercooked) nor disintegrated. They were soft and gravy coated..surely not a bystander in this dish.. yummz!…Read More

Bought two pieces of different flavour for grams to try.And I must say the chocolate version is a huge let down. It doesnt taste any bit spectacular, in fact mediocre at best.It didn't bring out the sweetness from the sponge cake and it lacks that fragrance from the caramel and white cream - salted caramel version.In fact I think choc didn't make the sponge stand out, sponge taste normal, a little dense.Overall caramel clear winner…Read More

It was a saturday and yes.. I had to wait in line for a starking 25min at vivocity. This cake was a real eye pleaser on the menu and on the plate. It's a rather big slice the wow factor in this cake is relly the plump alcohol soaked cherries.. and they aren't stingy with these I think I had a cool 3-4 cherries in a slice. But set back will be the thick layer of whipped cream.. mousse was ok.. not too rich in chocolate either. Sponge as always airy and fluffy.. If u love cream.. go for it! …Read More

This dish never fails.. it's a definitely a must have for every visit..Lets start with taste... very flavourful the exterior is sticky and crispy not soggy and soft.. even till the very last piece. It carries this tinge of citrusy flavour and the lychee just explodes with fragrance and juice when you bite into it. Gosh.. salivating now... :( The meat is rather soft and tender, not dry and no tough tendons to test your chewing skills... highly recommended!…Read More

The presentation is so-so not expecting much since it's rather common and the pic on the menu ain't too impressive.But boy... was I blown away.. I must admit.. I haven eaten great japanese grill todate so am not excited over this dish.The moment you place 1 of these little jewels in your mouth.. THe charred flavour just overwhelms the whole oral cavity!!! It's this salty sweet combi with the very smokey aroma.. very very good!And the chicken is soooo tender and JUICY!!!! - NOT FATS! I wouldn't have expected the meat to be this tender and juicy given the amount of smoky goodness it has.Wow.. a must try!…Read More

the guy before me just ordered the remaining pork knuckle on the tray.. and we were told to wait for 1 hr for the next batch.. so if u see some on the tray.. ORDER!!!its nice... it's not too fatty.. in fact pretty lean cut. And the skin is oh so crispy!!The skin is also not hard and tough.. very crispy and airy.. delish! Meat.. rather succulent some parts just a tad dry.. overall very nice.. they cut them up into bite sized pieces.. easy to eat and share :) …Read More

Used to be very popular in the past... but the taste is not as good as before anymore. The skin is a lot thicker now and size of the gyoza also smaller. Size aside, the skin is thicker and less chewy. As for the filling, flavour is the same but there is a tinge of pork smell.. I dislike it.Commendable part is the sliced ginger.. I am rather particular about this.. most hawker places serve really coarse strips of ginger.. the ginger here are julienned to very thin strips ... good!…Read More

The wait is dependant n the queue. The dishes to try here is definitely the stewed cabbage and pork chop!!The pork chop is very crispy it's not the meaty type, dunno how they do it..like a snack!!The cabbage is very nice... soft to the max! And when you eat it with the curry laden rice... oooooo... heavenly... Bear in mind, if there are any particular sauce you don't want you have to let them know before hand. By default they will drown your rice with spatulars of various gray they have there (i.e. braised meat, curry, etc)Another point to note.. getting a seat is quite tough..so best if you have a friend to help you find a seat while you queue…Read More

Although the shop is known for their fishballs... I actually think there are nicer items there worth trying.Of which, you must try the bean curd skin wrapped fish paste and the bean curd (tau kua) with fish paste!yumzz... Their fish cake with vegetables and chili is also good.The fish cake is extremely juicy, with each bite if you are not careful, may drip or squirt out hehehe...Bean curd is very soft and has tinge of saltiness not the sort of beancurd with no seasoning.But for the health conscious... They are VERY oily! They will deep fry before serving and drain on a sieve.. but still very oily :(…Read More

Honestly… looks good but taste wise.. quite a disappointment. Beer battered fish and chips was alright.. fish was juicy BUT…tooo OILY!!! gosh! I can see oil seeping out of the batter as I cut it … Bangers was good!!! taste good and juicy! but rosti… total disappointment again… w/o the sour cream it tastes flat! a little pepper or salt will be nice… but it was bland… the fact that it was so bland I was hoping to taste the potato… u guessed it… also no potato fragrance :(As for rainbow cake.. it was good.. soft and nice salty cream ... if anything at all... go there for their cake at least this one! :)missmehhh.wordpress.com/2014/12/06/new-craving-salted-caramel-rainbow-cake/…Read More

They had rather tasty sides.. love the seaweed and sweet cuttlefish best but take note they only allow 2 rounds of sides and not free flow :(We ordered pork ribs and chicken. Ohhhh… the ribs were really really good. Well marinated and tender! It’s actually served up as a slab of meat with only 1 rib.. and not what I had feared most.. lots of bones and no meat.The chicken was also good. They have side serves of raw green chili and carrot and according to the crew its to eat with the bbq meat - gave it a shot and the green chili heightened the flavour of the meat with a fresh raw chili taste - nice!http://missmehhh.wordpress.com/2014/11/30/30th-monthiversary/…Read More

Our usual haunt... and the place we would go for ice cream!! Love their rustic decor...We tried a flavour we have never tried before – strawberry, rather refreshing taste.. and rather light. Good if you are tired of the strong flavours they are known for.And our perennial favourite!!! CHOC THERAPY!!! - never fai lto disappoint.We tried granola topping this time.. mmm…. nice crunchy crunchy… a pity.. the brownie is not as good as before.. It was hard, not moist and breaks off easily (was it stale?? ), It was also considerably thin… i remember it used to be more moist and thick. Sigh… thank gawd the ice cream and fudge made up for it..…Read More

The first time I tried clam miso soup.. i mz say... its pretty addictive..Sweet and so fragrant.. n... NOT FISHY unlike most miso soup.We tried the soft shell crab roll (cz I only eat cooked food), rather meaty crab (GOOD) but.. I could taste the mayonaise in the roll.. don't really like thatThe service staff here is also very attentive and quick to recommend you some of the cuts by the cooler :) A nice cosy homely ambience.. nice place to have decent jap food.. the other dishes here are also as good and rather authentic i guess judging by the no. of Japanese here. Its quiet bustling here, so not for a quiet dine out.…Read More
