the nasi padang here is quite good with the large variety. however as it is precooked, the food is cold. only the rice is hot. did not find the rice to be good quality. it is definitely not hom mali or thai rice! the chilli kang kong is great! just the right level of spiciness - cooked traditional way. the chicken curry is very good too! the meat is soft and the curry was perfect. about $8. too expensive…Read More

chinese traditional soups. as i stood there looking at the menu, the staff barked at me, asking me what i wanted because they only have 3 soups on that day! all other soups were not available! how ridiculous. so i picked the pear and apple soup and yam rice. i have to say, the yam rice is very very good, if not one of the best sold in public places! there is real yam in there. the soup tasted good and was well balanced and not salty. however, there was hardly any meat or ribs or any ingredient in the soup at all! just all water! there are some chinese almonds floating on the top. tastes pretty good though. about $7!…Read More

each ice pop starts at around $5. you can dip it in chocolate for extra $1.50 and add sprinkles like nuts for another $1.50. turns out overly expensive. the gelato did not taste like gelato - it was very icey. the entire popsicle was so soft you had to eat it in 3 seconds or it will all melt onto the floor. overall it did not taste fantastic and the price is unjustifiable. service is extremely lousy. not recommended.…Read More

this is the cold green tea latte. nice and icey! very very sweet and the level of sweetness cannot be adjusted as it is a prefab syrup. the extra whipped cream on top really helps the sweetness. the jellies in the drink were rather bitter as it was earl grey jellies. this is a special request drink which they kindly made for me. overall it is a unique flavour and i haven't seen anyone else have this drink! about $10…Read More

stopped for a quick drink. the orange juice is fresh squeezed. very small cup and lots of ice to bulk it up. not thirst quenching as there was not much drink in there. took a while to arrive as well. very small place - hard to find seats. service is not very helpful. industrial fans blowing everything off the table. about $6 for this drink. tried their black coffee as well and didn't find it outstanding.…Read More

the flavours of the thai curry here is too simple. we're used to more complex flavours. there is so much chillies in this green curry they might as well call it chilli curry. they dumped whole red chillies in there. not much vegetables - i can count it all on one hand. the gravy was super spicy. so spicy that you can't taste anything but chilli. there was only a couple of pieces of chicken in there. the rice was unflavourful but neccessary or the spiciness might kill us. about $6…Read More

one of the best bubble teas in singapore. love the white bubbles which are tapioca and not yoghurt! very perfect chewiness and no mushiness. the tea itself is very fragrant and very very good. just enough milk and sugar to make the drink complete. i could drink this all day! generous serving size. every drink quality is consistent. however, i haven't figured out how to put the straw into the cup without spilling drink everywhere. about $2.50…Read More

would not get custard buns here again. on the menu it seems like it's a lava custard bun but when you get it, it is a solid paste custard which tasted like the fridge. it is not made fresh and is reheated. at 12 noon the foods were not even ready for sale! i had to wait to get this reheated bun. service was poor. the pastry of the bun was dry and tasteless. the custard was like some yellow weird paste. about $3…Read More

the pancetta in this pasta had some off smell. didn't really like it. but the creaminess of the sauce was great. love the mushrooms and the pasta which is cooked nicely and not too soft or hard. the overall dish is a bit salty, probably to counteract the creaminess. the wait for the food can take a while. service is lacklustre and slow. it's a good location to people watch. as the service was so slow, we cancelled our dessert orders. about $22…Read More

this stall doesn't open very much and when they do, they seem to sell out very quickly so we were lucky to have got a plate of the biryani. they mostly only sell biryani here. the chicken meat is big and generous and very nicely spiced. the plates are greasy and not very clean. the rice itself is very fragrant and good. although the rice is a bit too oily. best eaten with hot tea. about $5…Read More

traditional chinese soups here. all pretty reasonable prices. rice costs extra $0.50. not very fragrant rice is used. the soup has generous watercress in it. the pork ribs are meaty but there is only 1 or 2 small ribs in the soup. the soup tastes very good and not too salty. served in metal bowls. the service is fast and efficient. on certain days, they do not cook the full menu of soups. about $4 for this soup…Read More

the indian food here is quite authentic. during lunch hours, the queue is super long. the rice is nicely cooked and flavourful. the vegetables are not too soft and are nicely spiced. the acar helps break the spiciness. the curry taste is great. overall, the dish is quite spicy compared to local indian foods. the staff is not exactly friendly. the food is pre-cooked so it can be cold when served.about $10…Read More

the bak kut teh here is quite nice! this is their specialty here. the soup is fragrant and the rice is nicely cooked without being soft or mushy. the bak kut teh is very flavourful and leaves you wanting more. the added whole garlic cloves in the soup is fantastic. this is obviously a soup that's been cooked for a long time. you can add braised boiled egg to your order for extra. By itself, the soup is great but wish there was more meat as there was only a couple of ribs in the soup and there was not much meat on the ribs! about $6 for a small serve…Read More

lots of deep fried snacks served very hot. sometimes they have differ kuehs as well. reasonable pricing of around $1 per time. tasted fresh. oil used is also fresh. the items are generous in size. there's quite a queue here. the stall is pretty small. easy to find as it is the first stall as you walk in. this golden sesame ball is nice. it is crispy and greasy. the filling is yellow bean. …Read More

This place has lovely views of the water and on a clear day you can see Sentosa clearly. A colourful train carrying people goes around the place at intervals, adding to the atmosphere. Very nice place. Service is not very helpful or friendly, and can be arrogant. The table setting is minimalist and only what is required. The standard wet towel is chargeable. There are also some sourish appetizers which are also standard chargeable items.But food and views are great. Very clean place. Everything is neat and tidy. Nice decor. Definitely recommended for the decor, ambience, location. It is very easy to find and get to. The competitor Tung Lok is just next door! Wheelchairs and prams have to use a special entrance at the back. The entry into the restaurant is actually very narrow and small and has some steps.We had Tie Guan Yin tea, which my companions commented that it was not fragrant enough to be like Tie Guan Yin. It was more like some kind of Chinese green tea. But it was good enough. They do not top up your hot water unless requested. Also, if you are already served your last dish, they will ignore you from then on, as they do not want you to sit there drinking tea only.The baked honey char siew bun is very good. Wish there was more filling and not so much air! Love honey char siew and it is done nicely here. Soft and sweet. And moist, not dry. About $8The baked egg tarts were pretty good and hot. However, my companions commented that the ones at Tung Lok were much better. The crust here is flaky and buttery. The egg is fragrant and rich. About $8The salt and pepper fried tofu was nice too. Very salty of course. Not much pepper taste but there was red pepper flakes on it. Nice and soft. No real tofu taste though. Maybe it’s too salty to taste like anything else. About $10The mango pomelo dessert is not bad but rather overpriced for such a small serve. It was sweet and fragrant. Overly sweet actually. about $8Overall, it is recommended for ambience and food. The staff are quite organized but fixing the bill is slow and service during the meal was almost non-existent.…Read More
