Tried Tomo's curated Izayaka-inspired Chinese New Year set menu. I must say the ambience is really relax and cozy, that must be why there are always plenty of Japanese drinking there. They have really some interesting dishes but not all are of quality worthy. Such as their Unagi appears to be very rubbery and it's not one of the best I have tried in Singapore, probably it's not kept warm when served.

On the other hand, Salmon and White Meat Fish Yu Sheng is one of their innovation where it is stacked in layers. That is worth trying, something different from the usuals. My other favourite is Tenderly Braised Pork Soft Rib Bone with Japanese Rice Cake, super soft and the meat falls off the bone almost effortlessly. Oh the desserts is a must try! It's pretty close to the ones I had in Japan.

Chinese New Year Prosperity Salmon Yu Sheng - $32.80 for Standard (serves 2 to 3) / $48.80 for Deluxe (serves 4 to 6). Available for dine-in or takeaway, from now till 5 March 2015. I love that the yu sheng is available for top-up ingredients such as Fried Salmon Skin, Crispy Yam Strips and other 3 more ingredients. In additional, Din Tai Fung uses their homemade sweet and tangy plum sauce, the overall taste is not as sweet as other yu sheng.The next time you are there, try the Truffle Xiao Long Bao, unlike other truffle Xiao Long Bao, it isn't as oily and is so aromatically. I fell in love with the first bite!! Lastly, you can't go wrong with Din Tai Fung's fried rice, always so fragrant!

With Sakura's revamped menu, experience the best of what Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Thailand, the US, France and Singapore have to offer, all at one price, in one place. I recommend to go for their Dinner buffet instead of Lunch, because of certain items are only available during dinner time.

Such as under the Local counter: Boston Lobster & Argentine Red Prawn Hokkien Mee - a new twist on a beloved favourite, Hokkien Mee. Love how the noodles have the wok-infused flavours. Both the lobster and prawn are pretty fresh and succulent, eat till your heart's content. Whereas for Lunch, it's only Prawn Hokkien Mee.Other highlight for the Dinner buffet is the Egg Tart with Bird’s Nest, I'm usually not a egg tart person, and it would be rare if I have more than one serving. Especially the pipping hot ones right out from the oven!

Presenting to you the first exclusive ramen dish created by world's first Michelin-starred ramen chef, Chef Yasuji Morizumi. The premium Tonkotsu Ramen, The Kurobuta is only available from 17 January to 31 March 2015. Get it while stock last!The blend of tonkotsu and chicken collagen soup is very thick and creamy, it’s also pack with nutritional values. Oh it just melts in your mouth, full of flavour and so savoury. Sadly the egg isn't very consistent, some turned out to be slightly hard boiled. Overall, it is worth trying!One of my favourite ramen in Chabuton, Shoyu Zaru Ramen aka dipping noodles. I personally prefer thick noodles as compared to the ones in The Kurobuta. And Fried Squid is a must to order, crispy and chewy when it's served hot.

Pie Face, the world’s largest pie chain, has finally arrived in Singapore from Australia!
These savoury pies come in both regular and mini sizes. There is two ways of having the pies, one is in a cardboard sleeve, so you can eat them while on the go, second it eat them as "stacks" for those dining in. Stacks are pies topped with smash, mashed potatoes or peas and gravy [additional $1 each]. 

The regular pies are priced at $4.90 each and the mini pies are priced starting from $3.00 each. My favourite is the Chunky Steak Pie, add the ketchup sauce for a more distinct flavour. Thai Green Curry Chicken Pie is pretty good too, you don't really see this type of flavours in pies. Besides pies, they serve awesome sausage rolls too! I recommend you to try Chicken & Cheese Sausage Rolls, it is packed with cheese all around and in the middle too.

Last but not least, mini sweet pies are available too! You got to try Coffee Mousse Pie - fragrant and creamy soft centred. Perfect for coffee lovers.
