Manhattan Fish Market was running some coupon promotion recently and we decided to utilise these coupons as we were around the vicinity and contemplating what to have for dinner.

1-for-1 Grilled Dory with Rice ($12.95++)
The dory was soft and juicy and goes well with the light butter rice. I particularly love the accompanying Thai-inspired sauce which was zesty and mildly spicy. A simple, affordable yet tasty treat to fill our tummies! We topped up with a bowl of seafood bisque which we felt was quite tasty and creamy.

Manhattan Flaming Prawns ($19.95++)
This was a visually entertaining dish which could be improved upon with fresher ingredients. The prawns were not very fresh, resulting in a limp texture. The good thing was that the sweet aftertaste of the mayo glacing managed to mask the shortcomings. Overall, still a passable dish!

Lost and Found OK Oct 15, 2013

It was by sheer coincidence that we spotted Sunset Grill & Bar (which we thought had closed down after a futile search at its former Seletar Air Base location). The husband had been yearning for their spicy wings ever since our first visit almost 4 years back and we were glad we finally found them!

Chicken Wings ($20)
At $20 for 6 wings, it is definitely not pocket friendly! However, the magic lies in the sauce (with varying degree of spiciness)! The sauce base is tangy with a hint of sourness. Depending on the spiciness level ordered, the taste ranges from mild (level 1) to just nice (level 2) to stinging (level 3) to numbing (level 4). The wing itself is pretty average though.

Striploin Steak ($28.80)
The steak was grilled to perfection (though we thought the portion could have been more generous) with a hint of charred fragrance. As for the sides, the vegetables exuded a strong buttery aftertaste.

Overall, this would be a place to occasionally visit to satisfy our craving for spicy wings! Other than that, it's not really worth the price tag and not to mention the accessibility of this location!

Yummy Beef & Vegetables Bowl Smile Oct 15, 2013

A delicious yet healthy bowl of piping hot Yoshinoya Beef with Vegetables Rice($6) certainly cheers me up on a cold Monday evening! The portion is unusually generous, especially for the beef which is always so tasty and soft. I like the fact that their food is lightly seasoned to retain the natural sweetness of the ingredients. Coupled with crunchy boiled vegetables that complements the otherwise soft texture of the beef and rice, this nutrient packed meal definitely makes it to my top healthier choice list!

Good Breakfast Outlet Smile Oct 15, 2013

I enjoy going to Cedele for breakfast, not so much for its main courses, but more so for the variety of complementary bread selection! That said, I still find their mains to be quite appealing, hearty and delicious!

All in Breakfast Toast Set ($13.80)
Decided to try out their most expensive breakfast set as I was redeeming a voucher that required certain minimum value. I love their fluffy scrambled eggs and savoury sautéed mushrooms. The sausages were quite tasty though I find the skin a little too tough.

A pity, I feel, was the value-to-proportion of food served. If not for the complementary bread selection, the relatively hefty price tag would not be justified at all.

Nevertheless, Cedele remains one of my favourite bakeries! Do try out their sandwiches and yummy cakes!

We have been yearning to try out their food for quite some time after hearing raving reviews from our friends. However, in retrospect, the reviews seemed somewhat overrated as I find their food to be, perhaps, slightly above average and not something I would pay top money for.

Prime Ribs & Salmon Combo ($55.90++)

The Prime Ribs truly lived up to its name – soft, tender and chewy. The taste was quite mild though. Nevertheless, it was still a nice slab of mouth-watering meat worth trying! Recommended doneness – medium.

The salmon was a disappointment. It was overcooked, dry and flaky in texture. Somehow, famous steakhouses just can't do fish/seafood dishes right mad

The chicken gumbo soup was hearty and delectable!

Overall, their prime ribs were pretty decent (though not the best I've tried). Just stick to their meat and forget about the rest.
