Googled for a good place to have dinner at the bustling Orchard Road.
Saw good reviews about the cafe and decided to head there to give it a try...

And my verdict was: Superb fries and environment, good getaway from the crowded shopping area of Orchard

Ordered the following dish:

(top-down order) Truffle fries, smoked salmon pizza, granchioThe cafe food portion is generous enough for big-eaters.
For 2 of us, I guess we ordered slightly too much as the mains were too much for us.
The Granchio pasta was great. Simply better than all the pasta that I have tried at other cafes or restaurant chains.

Smoked salmon pizza: The salmon slices are fresh and succulent. We could not finish the pizza bread dough though.

Truffle fries was quite good.

Worth to give this cafe a try if you are at Orchard area doing your Christmas shopping.

It was a rainy Friday afternoon. Continued with our plans to dine at the cafe hidden in Bishan Park. Having been there it was indeed a jem at the North.

When we reached the cafe, we were quite surprised that there were quite a lot of diners despite the rain. The rain did not dampen our moods for good food.

Ambience of the cafe: Relax, chilled

Decor of the cafe: Rustic feel (Brick wall, concrete floorings and some metal strucutures, matched with black, white and wooden furniture)

Ordered our meals:-As you can see, our burgers are placed on the wooden squarish plate, fries are contained in the mug. Ordered long black coffee. The soup, bread and honey lime juice come together as a set with the lobster tail burger.

Yummylicious food at a reasonable price. Highly recommended for those who stay at the North to give this cafe a visit.

Nice pond and environment as you step out of the cafe. Nice place to relax should the weather permits...

Dining on a ship!!! A totally new experience for me.

Went on a late afternoon and board the Stewords Riverboat. It is conveniently located right beside the newly opened Marina South Pier NS line MRT Station. Sheltered all the way to the ship...

Took pictures just before the sky turned dark.. Moving on the food which all of us are waiting for... Christmas comes early on board Stewords Riverboat. Each diner can choose a main course from the menu. And this is what we choose:-The restaurant offers a semi-buffet counter which consists of soup, breads and the following yummylicious food:-There's a live band performing while diners are enjoying their food with an occasional rock as what we expect on board a ship..

Overall, the experience is great. Worth going to the restaurant to give it a try.
Ambience is great for couples and family (there are 2 round tables to cater to big families) too. Toilet is conveniently located at the same level which is the Main Deck.

Diners can also explore the upper deck of the ship before their food can... And what does this means, photo-taking time.

McDonald has always been my all-time favourite fast food restaurant since young. Ordered Big Breakfast set meal and change my drink to warm Milo The hash brown is fried till it is golden crispy. Nice! Scrambled egg, the portion is just right. Added on salt and pepper to enhance the taste. The muffins, I add grape jam to it and eat them separately. There is meat patty too.

Environment is not that bad. Should you visit McDonalds during the weekend with your kids, they will be given balloons too. A great place for family gathering in the weekends

Had lunch at Dhoby Xchange with my parents. ;)
Ordered their lunch set meal which comes with a main course of our choice, with free flow beverages (includes, soft drink or coffee or tea) and Free flow of ice-cream (smoothie or king's ice cream, 6 flavours to choose from)
A great place to chill and have lunch during a weekday afternoon.
The crowd starts to come in at around 1p.m.Ordered fried salmon set which comes with side dish of kimchi, miso soup and rice. 3 large pieces of salmon, very filling. Ordered chicken katsu with miso soup and kimchi. Mayonnaise sauce is provided Fried fish slices with noodle soup. Side dishes include pea and kimchi. Healthy meal.
