With a grandiose facade that welcome you into an area filled with posh and classic ambiance and seating; and a corner with sofa coded in playful dash of bold colors overlooking the stretch of orchard road. Grand entrance decked with layers of glass wares and tea selections. A short escapade from the bustling city.Sumptuous quirky menu filled with the love for food in a lady and gentleman perspective. Deliciously creative style of presenting menu in this style – light with an emphasize on seafood for the ladies’ affair and heavy with the meat in the limelight for the gentlemen palette.Start our meal with a pot of Pomelo Tea ($11), light with scents of sweet pomelo flavor encircling around the palette. Rich yet mellow. Though the price for a pot of tea is on the higher end, but it really tasted comforting.Beijing Dynasty Duck Pancake ($28) – A good fusion of east meets west. Abundance of shredded savory duck confit wrapped cozily in blankets of sweet and soft pancake. With the presence of an orange compote to heighten its flavor with a tinge of citrusy. It’s surprisingly stomach filling given the portion.Boston Love Boat – Ciponio ($29) – Seafood and saffron stew with sweet potatoes fries. Crispy fragrant flaky pastry crust that contains the umami aroma of seafood within the bowl. The bowl of stew essence with tomato base contains plump and juicy scallop, mussels, fishes and prawns. Seafood were fresh and succulent. Stew were slurp-py good! Accompanying sweet potatoes were starchy with hint of sweetness and crispness.
All in all, it was a nice experience dining in Arteastiq though service was a little slow, but food served were of decent taste and quality. Can’t wait to go back for some artsy painting time!

Checking out the new cafe that has replaced an old medicinal hall. 20F Specialty Coffeehouse has kept the essence of it’s original rustic interior but giving it a finishing touch of modernized feel.Menu filled with interesting creations.Chilli Chocolate White Tea ($5.50) – An intriguing distinguishing taste for this glass of Chilli Chocolate White Tea. The first taste you got is a slight creamy sweet taste from the chocolate, and slowly the piquant flavor of chilli kicks in gradually. Thank goodness for the white tea used as the base, that was a little lighter and bearable for this unique taste. But you can imagine, how it will taste like when it gets concentrated. One word – overwhelming! I’m still glad i gave this tea a shot.Duck & Waffle ($22) – Not the first but still a unique find at the coffeehouse. And it’s a gem! The waffle is kind of crisp and fluffy with evident sweetness to it. Topped it with a scoop of berries sorbet that gives an hint of refreshing sourness. Best complement from the tender, melts in your mouth duck confit! A sumptuous dish filled with flavors burst!Orange Cinnamon French Toast ($15) – I’m pleasantly surprised by the refreshing sweet orange scent you could taste from the soft and warm toast. Topped with mascarpone cheese, berries fruits and strips of deep fried bacon. Overall flavor for the dish was light and mellow but luckily thanks to the 2 strips of bacon that heightens the flavor to a higher level that sits perfectly well with the palette.
Good place to satisfy some of the brunch cravings.

Have you been to the bustling Kai Sushi & Robatayaki Japanese restaurant located in the new wing of Plaza Singapura? Featuring their classic Nigiri Sushi, Robatayaki, Chirashi-don and Set lunch mains. Kai Sushi promotes casual communal dining with a couple of table more closely knitted to one and other. Be prepared to expect full house and some queue crowd during the dining hours!Extensive menu of lunch set choicesVariety of robatayaki choices!Not forgetting the traditional Nigiri sushiSome mini appetizers to start off the meal! The jelly like thing tasted somehow like acorn jelly, a little crunchy with subtle flavor while the root looking pieces tasted a little hard and I'm impressed with the small details they take pride in for their food presentation even for add on appetizer to the set meals. The sashimi were bright in colors and were really fresh; chefs weren’t stingy with the portion, each slices were of reasonable thickness that you can devour and savour the freshness and sweetness of the sashimi!We ordered Wakadori Teriyaki ($12.80) from the Set Lunch menu, it’s applicable for dinner too if you’re wondering! Wakadori Teriyaki tasted really good and different from all the teriyaki chicken i had tried thus far, though it’s just pan fried chicken with teriyaki sauce, but the chicken were specially crispy on the skin and particularly tender and juicy on the meat. The sauce were savory to the right note too. Really am pleasantly surprise by this simple and common dish served yet with extraordinary flavors!We ordered only one main dish, so that we have the stomach for some nigiri sushi and robatayaki! We ordered their salmon and tuna nigiri sushi ($1.50; $1.00). Similar to the style of japanese sushi restaurant, minimum sushi rice but topped with a big slab of sashimi! Awesome!Ordered a couple of robatayaki skewers too. Chicken wing skewers ($2.40)! Each of the skewers were served in the state where it tastes its best and with the chicken wing skewers being the most delicious of all! It was crisp on the skin and juicy in the meat, accompanied with some sort of belacan sauce, that were a little spicy and savory and it went pretty well with the wings skewers!

All in all, it was a satisfying meal at Kai Sushi & Robatayaki whereby chefs whipped up delectable delights which were on par with those served in traditional japanese house using quality ingredients yet pricing it reasonably!

No ornate signboard with interior going the unpretentious and minimalist style. weBread serves a delectable range of homemade tartine, gourmet salads, comfort soups, delicious pastries and specially selected beverages. Simple cafe with scrumptious menu. They do offer different set choices to complete your meal, price ranging from $1 – $6. Just Tartines alone, they are filled with so many choices to pick from!Homemade Soup ($4/$5). It’s tomato soup for the day and i loves tomato soups for their zesty tangy-ness flavor.Chicky Shrooms ($9). Poached chicken and shrooms on toasted bread which i find it a little hard. Lacks of the toasted aroma and it’s really kind of hard to chew on, it will be better if it’s a little more crispy at the edges. Flavors were light and soft, nothing too intense except for the mayo spread.Mushroom Cream Pasta ($12/$15). Another disappointment for this dish lies in the hard penne. A little off from what’s supposedly al dente. A little salty and overly creamy to my liking too.Smoked Salmon with Ham Brown Rice. A surprisingly good rendition of healthy brown rice with westernized smoked salmon and ham, coupled with some salad and an egg. Brown rice were cooked to perfection, soft and chewy. As it’s lighter in taste, it goes really well with the heavier tasting seasoned salmon and ham.
