Passing by the stretch of eateries along Bukit Timah Road, we finally decided to give waffletown a visit!The interior kind of remind me to the my younger days in the 80s where parents brought me to fast food. Chairs and tables were affixed to the ground, simple furnishing without being too fanciful unlike what you can see in most cafe nowadays. There isn't any theme here and the atmosphere and surroundings give a feel of "family style".Having fried chicken in Waffletown? Wait, I'm a little confused here... Aren't they famous for waffles only? Well, in fact both fried chicken and waffles are the must try over here. To make it a meal, the 3 Pcs Chicken comes with 2 sides like coleslaw and mash potatoes as well as a cup of soft drink.The deep fried chicken were not very oily and tasted good. This reminds me of having Chic-A-Boo but of course the portion here and pricing cannot be compared.The black pepper chicken chop meal has 3 sides and we had wedges, mashed potatoes and cocktail salad. Chicken Chop was tender with black pepper sauce moderately covering its surface area. It tasted just like any old school chicken chop and was not too greasy. Good to know that the black pepper they did here was not too overpowering too!Waffle Ala Mode is served with a scoop of ice cream and 1 topping of your choice. In this case we had black berries, rum and raisin ice cream with whipped cream over the Belgium Waffle. The Belgium Waffle was more of those "ready-to-eat" kind which can be bought off the shelf. Nevertheless, it was still crispy and goes very well with my scoop of ice cream and black berry topping. Ice cream sweetness was moderate and best of the topping is that you can actually get a bite of the fruit without feeling its too artificial.Waffletown is a good place to hangout with friends or with family for Waffles, Burgers or Fried Chicken. Chicken portion may be smaller here but still worth the try!

Travelling to Changi for dining is quite an uncommon task that we will do in our checklist. If not for the pair of winning weekdays dining tickets to Azur Restaurant in Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, we would not have been here for a buffet and travelling extremely far end to the East from West (where we are residing).Conveniently located at level 2 of Crowne Plaza, Azur Restaurant's winning award buffet offers an extensive range of Asian and Western fare both suitable for locals and foreigners.This 150 Seating restaurant has a beautiful interior with ceramic tiles in Ultramarine and black.Quality and standard of food was above average and with good services rendered. Food were constantly topped up when it is almost finished in the heating pot. Variety may be limited over here as compared to the larger scale buffet in Singapore but I felt that the spread was already very decent.Enjoy a bowl of Asian Favourites, Salted Vegetable Tofu Soup. Salt was well balance by the natural sweetness from the meat as well as carrot. You can never go wrong by starting off your meal with this as it's quite appetizing. With Asian Soup around, they also catered in the westernized flavoured soup like the Cream of Cauliflower with bacon. Yummy, but take note that if you are still planning to have more food from your buffet, take this in sparingly as its quite "stomach occupying".Local delights including our Fried Hokkien Mee was part of the buffet. It was not to my liking with its over-moist noodles and the lack of the prawn oomph, it tasted nothing close to an usual plate of Hawker Hokkien Mee.

Carbonara with Penne was cook to the correct texture and was not too bad.Western food range from Pasta, Ham, mashed Potatoes and other baked food items.Enjoy a good mix of Asian delicacies which includes Japanese Sushi, Inaris and even some sweet & Sour meat.You can also get to enjoy small bites like Fried Spring Rolls. Prawns on the other hand was freshly steamed in scallions.Bursting full of Barbequed Flavours, with meat generously coated in its sauce. The pork easily fell off the ribs with slightest pressure and I simply love its tenderness too!The crayfishes were easily depleted as soon as it comes out of the kitchen. It's such a common sight of our local culture "kisuism" in place, seeing our fellow Singaporeans cleared the full load of crayfish tray immediately after they were placed on the buffet counter.Besides feeling happy with its crayfish, we were please to enjoy the big chunky sea bass that was pan-seared. I love the part where its skin was charred and giving the crispy bite.I'm not a Red Velvet person and I wasn't too keen and felt its topping was kind of cloying.The petite desserts were so lovely that makes me unbearable to have them eaten up. Little puffs and mango pudding were good!Yam and vanilla ice cream did not go well as expectation. Vanilla was more towards a sour taste while Yam Ice Cream had an overpowering coconut milk taste.It has been a while since I had my last buffet. Though variety range may be a lacking here but food were definitely decent, despite visiting them on a weekday. Atmosphere of dining is worth your consideration too!

Taking over the previous 24 hours Hainanese Curry Rice, we are rather surprise to see Pao Xiang Bah Kut Teh joining the row of eatery in The Rail Mall. If you have been to Malaysia Boleh in Jurong Point, Pao Xiang Bah Kut Teh should be of no stranger to you.It was a quiet night at almost their closing hours that we went in to check out. Pao Xiang Bah Kut Teh emphasized in string-tied meat technique which is believed to lower the cholesterol content and help in boosting the herbs flavours in Bah Kut Teh broth.Environment is nothing special with simple and straight forward furnishings around. However the environment brings closeness to people with the round table settings, encouraging family and friends to gather and building bond.You Tiao, also known as fried dough stick is one of my favourites in a Bah Kut Teh meal. Their dough stick is short and comes in a cute pair which make it easier for consumers to handle as they dipped them into the mouth watering bowl of herbal broth.To maintain its broth warm, they practise serving bowls of Bah Kut Teh under the buring heat. Though it is good that the bowl is shallow and gets heated up easily, as a soup lover, I find that its at disadvantage to me as I finish up the soup rather quickly and requires a top up.The good thing about the topping up the broth is that they are never dilute and still bringing out the authentic taste of Bah Kut Teh. We can tell that the intestine had been thoroughly handled as there is no odd smell in it.Spare Ribs on the other hand was great! At a slightest pressure, you can remove the meat from the bones easily not mentioning that they had cooked them into the correct tenderness too!I prefer dark soup in Bah Kut Teh than white ones and I find that the flavour of soup is better than the usual ones maintaining a good standard of herbal taste without being too overpowering.

The craze about snoopy has come back again and yes recently I had watched the Charlie Brown movie and it had kind of encourage me to visit their theme Cafe in Cineleisure after such a long long time. For those who are unaware, there are two Charlie Brown Cafes in Singapore and the other one is located in One KM Mall.Charlie Brown Cafe in Cineleisure is located at 4th Storey in one corner. Be greeted by the simple and cool looking snoopy in its shades at the doors.Hospitality from Charlie Brown Cafe is not too bad as you are greeted by snoopy and charlie brown with a menu in his sincere look.In its theme cafe, you get to watch their cartoon programs from the television, plush on the sofa, and you can even enjoy kinds Charlie Brown related toys, stationery off their display shelf.If you notice, you will see Charlie Brown's face right at the doorstep on the cement screed flooring.The best thing about chicken wings is that they have to be served hot, golden on the outside and juicy on the inside. The signature wings fit all of that.Nothing beats my all time favourite choice of Pizza for I'm an absolute Hawaiian Lover. Just right that their Hawaiian Pizza is one of their recommendations. Its thin crunchy crust was baked to perfect edges, charred and spreaded with juicyturkey hams, pineapple cubes on a tomato base mixed with mozzarella cheese. Yum Yum!Crepe on the other hand was quite normal, folded with nutella chocolate wrapped inside and served with a scoopy of cookies & cream ice cream.The crepe for this had snoopy drawn out of their chocolate powder. Overall, it was quite entertaining dinning in a Theme Cafe like this. I don't mind coming back again for their mains.

We got so excited about Marina Square's latest renovation as there is a Singapore first integrated Japanese Emporium featuring aged beef facility, live seafood, Japanese Grocer and multiple Japanese restaurants.Dining Concept is modernly furnished with wooden hanging lamps and despite having flooring, cupboards, tables and chairs in wood, it does give a classy Japanese touch in the atmosphere.No worries if you are dining at Tsukeru for the first time as their friendly staffs are always ready to assist you. There is a side drawer at every table that contains the electronic menu as well as ordering system in an Ipad Mini. We got our orders through the staff on service and it was all sent to the kitchen without hassle.Since Tsukeru specialised in serving Shabu Shabu, it would be best to grab their specially concocted sauce here for additional taste! Range of sauce is pretty interesting which also includes our local sambal chilli sauce despite its a Japanese Restaurant. You can also find mustard, ponzhu sauce, spring onions, corriander leaves etc.Hotpots are individual and you get to choose your broth base from Asian and Japanese Cuisine such as Tom Yum, Ginseng Chicken, Tomato for example. I have been missing konbu seaweed for sometime and since it was Tsukeru's recommended broth, I looked no further and decided the base.Thankfully, the pot of broth was not just only filled with liquid. Big pieces of Konbu were given and I was relieved as it was since a good long time I had them!We decided to ditch the usual Asian Broth we normally get in the hawkers and decided on Tonkotsu Miso Soup. At the first round of the soup, it was on a salty side till the servers came around topping up the soup promptly and eventually the taste of broth get bland.While the man could not do without a bowl of steam rice at $3 for his dinner, I got my carbo fixed with their Inaniwa Udon. These cream colored Udon are dried and thinner than the usual Udons we had.We had the platter of 2 consisting of prawns, dumplings and 3 kinds of prime meat, including Wagyu beef and Kurobuta.Prawns were fresh and in an acceptable size. Shells in its mid body had been removed.Fresh!Kurobuta Pork BellyBeefBeef

Balancing out the meat intake, we had ourselves the healthier choice - Vegetable Platter at $15 which consist of tomatos, radish, seaweed, cabbages, lettuce and bamboo shoots.With induction cooking, my pot boiled in a while. I particularly like their seaweed from the vegetable platter but do note that it will change your soup into purple color.Konbu Seaweed Soup Broth with Items all in

Condiments to pair up with my Shabu Shabu meal.Since their Sapporo draft beer is 1 for 1, we have ourselves a cup each washing down the dinner.Total bill for 2 is $134.88 after GST and Service Charge. It was a good experience enjoying Shabu Shabu with premium meat and a good range of self selected sauce.
