As we were around the vicinity running some errands, we decided to drop by MOF for a quick dinner as I was craving for their dessert.

Beef Teriyaki Set ($21.80++)
The Beef Teriyaki Set was average and a little on the pricy end considering the portion and quality served. The beef and cabbage were quite oily, masking its natural fragrance and sweetness. Crème Brulee ($5.00++)
This place is famous for its dessert for a reason. The Crème Brulee was exceptionally soft, smooth and literally melts in your mouth. Although it was a tad too sweet, the giant scope of sesame gelato was mild enough to balance the overall sweetness. As with other dessert specialty dining places, it might be a better idea to have your mains elsewhere and drop by for their sweet treats!

I really enjoyed our first visit to Man Fu Yuan as their quality of food was outstanding (albeit a couple of slips here and there) and their service level, commendable. Although the menu was on the pricier end, the overall ambience and dining experience justified the cost.

Siew Mai ($6.80++)
Topped with fresh scallop and fish roe, the Siew Mai was tastefully prepared. The firm yet texture was a delight to savour. One of the must orders here! Beef Ball ($6.80++)
The Beef Ball was a disappointment though. It was rather bland and overly soft (almost to the extent of crumbling upon the touch of my chopsticks). Somehow, the beef didn't taste very fresh as well and resulted in the lackluster review. Radish Cake ($5.20++)
A simple and wholesome treat for the palate. The Radish Cake was soft, flavourful and not too oily. I particularly liked the fact that it was not too starchy with more real radish chunks rather than flour present. Roast Meat Platter ($32++)
We ordered their Char Siew, Roast Duck and Roast Chicken and it was really authentic and delicious! The Char Siew was slightly charred and crispy at the sides and chewy in the centre. The Roast Duck and Chicken were exceptionally soft, succulent and delectable – a true hallmark of a Cantonese restaurant!

Steamed Custard Bun ($12++)
Although this was rated as one of their signature dishes, I found it rather average and lacked the wow-factor. The bun was quite thick and a little on the tough side. Thankfully, the custard was rich, gooey and flavorsome. We will definitely be back to try out their other offerings soon!

Gantetsu - Miso King Cha Shu Men ($15+)
Gantetsu has been one of the longest standing Ramen Champion contenders and it is no surprise why. They specialises in Sapporo miso-style ramen which leaves a slightly sweet aftertaste. The beauty lies in the soup broth which was rich in flavour and yet not overpowering. You know that quality ingredients had been used in brewing the heavenly soup broth when it does not leave you with a dry mouth (a sign of MSG overdose) but rather, pepper your tastebuds with a refined buttery fragrance that lingers long after that satisfying bowl of ramen has been ingested. Gantetsu truly did an excellent job in striking the right balance between sweet and savouy; rich and refined.

The noodles were firm and moderately springy.

Topped with 6 generous pieces of thick Cha Shu which were well seasoned and tender, as well as a runny egg which was exceptionally soft and delicate, this is a must try for all ramen buffs out there!

Polar Puff is current running a promotion with NETS FlashPay where you get to enjoy a complementary slice of sugar roll with min $3 spent.

Their Sugar Roll ($1.20/pcs) has been one of my favourite tea time quick fix. The cake is soft and light and I especially love the slightly moist texture which makes every bite literally melts in your mouth.

Recently, they have also launched a new item – Wholemeal Sugar Roll ($1.40/pcs) which is targeted at the more health conscious folks. It is significantly less sweet than the regular sugar roll and has a coarse and slightly crunchy texture. If you are looking for a wholesome, guilt-free tea time snack, this would make the perfect match!

Do pop by your nearest Polar Puff outlet to enjoy this special promotion tie up and satisfy your tea time snack attack!

Located within Trade Hub 21, this casual American dining outlet is a perfect weekend hideout for those seeking asylum from the bustling town area. The laid back cowboy ambience provides an idyllic dining experience where one can simply chill and enjoy the afternoon with good company!

Platter Set ($45+)
The platter set, consisting of 300g Australian Marbled Beef Steak & Grilled US Corn-Fed Pork Chop, Mini Bloomin' Onions, Potato Gratin, Salad, 2x Mushroom Soup, and 2x lemon tea, is good to share among 2-4 pax. The portion is generous and value for money. The Marbled Beef Steak was juicy, chewy and grilled to perfection! The marbling was excellent as the fats literally melted in our mouths and was a joy to savour.

The Pork Chop was a disappointment, however. Although it was pretty well marinated and glaced with a thick layer of tasty BBQ sauce, the meat was dry and tough on the palate.

The sides were decent except for the Bloomin' Onion which we thought was too floury and lacked the crisp we were anticipating.

The rich and creamy mushroom soup was excellent! Beer Butt Chicken ($32+)
The Beer Butt Chicken was the highlight of today's meal. It was truly a feast for the eyes and a tantalising treat for the tongue! The waitress presented the picture-perfect chicken (in its original cooked form) for our photo-taking sake before cutting it up, with one portion infused in the beer broth and the other, au-natural style. Although both versions were tasty in their own way, I preferred the beer-soaked version as the essence was well absorbed into the chicken, exuding a hint of light bitter-sweet aftertaste.

The chicken was exceptionally tender and smooth while the skin was sinfully delicious and crispy .

BBQ Wings ($14+)
The BBQ wings were well marinated and flavourful. A pity, however, was that it wasn't served hot and the meat was slightly dry. Blacken Dory (16+)
The dory was well grilled, with a crispy surface and soft, moist centre. However, the taste could be further improved upon as I found it to be a little on the blend side. Perhaps adding a dash of sea salt or some rosemary herbs might do the trick? Overall, we were pleased with the quality and hearty portion of food served! Although the location might be a little inconvenient for those taking public transport, it was definitely worth the extra mile!
