Merdandy Cafe & Bar is just a stone throw away from Raffles Place MRT station. Being an alfresco dinning place, it is a perfect spot to chill in the day and converts to a bar in the night.Rocking my plate with my favourite pick on the mains, Crabmeat Pasta which consist of a substantial amount crabmeat, chilli, garlic, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and tossed in homemade tomato sauce. No wonder it’s a Merdandy’s signature dish! Another signature dish Merdandy is proud to own, Rendang Chicken. This would easily captured us, Asian’s palette with rendang sauce over grilled chicken and rice to go along with it.

Couldn't be happier with their weekday set lunch at $14.90, which include soup of the day, main course and soft drink.

Ended my meal with their invention of Crème Brulee, coffee flavoured. I like how it tasted, however it coffee taste overpowered the dish and I won’t recommend it to non-coffee lovers that’s for sure.

Pho Street is a quick service restaurant with a vibrant dining ambience yet compressed seating arrangement, serving traditional Vietnamese food. Recently, they came up with Vietnamese Caramelised Braised Pork Belly with Rice and Egg Vermicelli - a slow-braised pork belly in sweet coconut juice to reveal the enchanting caramelised flavours, together with a hint of sweetness and spiciness from the chillies and black peppers. The pork belly is so soft and tender that the fats simply melts in one’s mouth. I would say never judge a book by its cover with Banh Mi. Usually consist of a crusty bread stuffed with meat, followed by mayonnaise, pickled carrot & radish, cucumber, chilli and cilantro. Lastly, quench your thirst or spiciness with the refreshing fizzy Lemon Cooler with Peppermint and Basil. My favourite from the list, although I like lemongrass but I don't think Pho Street's pleases my palette.

Do not miss out on the array of Vietnamese street snacks offered such as Sesame Rice Crackers with Fragrant Minced Meat and Spices Dip, it absolutely taste better than it looks. The combination are heavenly, I wouldn’t mind paring it with a bowl of white rice even.

Masizzim (ma-see-sim) is yet another Korean food concept brought to you by K Food Holdings, also the folks behind Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory in Singapore. What distinguish them from other Korean restaurants would be their signature stews, Beef Rib Stew, Pork Rib Stew and Spicy Chicken Stew with price ranging from $16 to $32.

I highly recommend these balls! Rice Ball (Tuna or Anchovy) – DIY rice balls with medium-grain white rice stained purple from Korean black rice, barley, seaweed crumbs, crushed chilli padi, and a choice of Tuna (with mayonnaise and kimichi) or Anchovy. Here’s how you do it DIY with the gloves provided, mix the ingredients well and mould them into balls or any shapes you like. It would be a tough choice to pick which is nicer, and I really like both. One gives the extra crunch with crispy anchovy and the other is packed with flavour from the flakes of tuna mayo.

Ciao@ being the newer kid on the block in Haji Lane, where you can find one of the largest range of quality Italian home-cooked food, cocktails and wines. Ciao@ has made it interesting that instead of whipping out your phones while waiting for your meals, why not flip the menu and engage in a game of Battleship with your friends and family!When it comes to Italian fare, I always go straight to the Pizza/Pizze section. the 4 Stagioni [$20] - an enticing medley of ham, artichoke, black olives and mushrooms sits on the pizza base, the ingredients pulled together by the delectable tomato sauce. Best of four worlds? My taste bud was hooked on Tartufina [$24] - mozzarella with the heavenly truffle paste spread on a pizza base. This is only for those who loves anything truffles.

My other favourite is the Stinco Di Maiale Alla Birra [$38] - pork knuckle in beer sauce, served with mashed potato and white cabbage. It’s tender to the extent that the beer-marinated pork knuckle melts in the mouth, the best part is the meat falls off the bone; all you need is a fork for this dish. The mashed potato and white cabbage goes heavenly together with the pork knuckle.

I could not not post and rave about how good their toast is. A three inch toast topped with a dollop of whipped cream, two scoops of hand-crafted ice cream and finish with drizzles of delectable sauce. There are a total of six flavours to choose from, we had the Gula Melaka Coconut [$14.90] - coconut ice cream, grated coconut flakes and gula melaka syrup.

The hand-crafted coconut ice cream is one of the most impressive flavour, comparable to Chatuchak Market's signature coconut ice cream in Thailand. Now for the best part, the toast. If you have tried and like After You's Shibuya Toast in Bangkok, you have got to try Dessert Project's! Soft, fluffy and buttery, a great alternative and it won't disappoint. The toast is good for sharing.Because we shared the toast among the four of us, we ordered a waffle to go along.
