Osia has such an innovative a la carte menu that combines Asian influences and western culinary techniques and present them in a fine delighted way. I love the open-kitchen concept as it's such a pleasure to watch the chefs cooking professionally. Seafood Ice Experience ($36) is an eye-opening experience! Each shot contains fresh seafood that married with flavoured shaved ice! Calamansi Mojito Ice with dried scallop, Apple celery ice with salmon trout, pineapple coconut ice with Southern blue fin tuna, mango passionfruit ice with lobster, lychee martini ice with oyster, sour plum vodka ice with sweet prawn! Each and every single one will give you a big surprise! A must try for sure! For main course, I had the Hokkaido Scallop, Wild King Prawn, Cod ($68). All components are cooked just nicely, maintaining the freshness so well. The dish is completed with potato espuma and chips, finally drizzled with the delicious verjus sauce! Awesome! Dessert wise, the Valrhona Hot Chocolate Soup ($22) is heavanly good! The melted dark chocolate pudding is paired with black peppered ice cream and sesame crisp! Sinful yet satisfying!

Swatow is famous for their Teochew cuisine, yet some of their dimsum are actually quite good. Har Gao (Prawn dumpling) ($4) is my all-time favourite. The juiciness of the prawn filling is savoury and of good flavour. The skin's thickness is just right too. I tried their durian dessert for the first time. The crispy pastry has a thick and rich durian paste filling. The aroma of the durian just burst into your mouth upon the first bite. Egg tarts are so-so. Perhaps they weren't warm enough. The egg filling is actually quite silky smooth, Apart from dimsum, one could order dishes from the menu if it's after 11am. We tried Pork liver roll ($10), which is one of the Teochew delicacy. Very strong in liver taste, not my favourite, but I bet it's authentic Teochew flavour. Prawn roll ($10) is good, ingredients are pretty similar with liver roll, except without the organ taste. Swatow handmade tofu ($12) has a strong flavour of egg in the tofu, nice to eat. Cooked with gingko, this dish is simple yet very homely taste.

I like reading Dian Xiao Er's menu, as they actually made the effort to calculate the calories content of each dishes. Fascinating hey. We first had the Stewed crocodile soup with almonds ($7), which is slightly disappointed. The soup is overly salty and not much of the ingredients seen.Braised mushroom in chinese wine ($10.90), 260kCal, is so tasty! Love the Chinese wine taste so much, flavour fully absorbed by the assorted fresh mushroom, yummy! Chinese spinach in superior stock ($12.30), 330kCal, is quite a classic dish in the Chinese restaurant. The Chinese spinach is served over wolfberries and conpoy sweetened stock. Very well-done. Dong Po Pork ($13.90) is the restaurant's all-time favourite. The pork belly actually melt in your mouth. Very good flavour! However, it's causing 1510kCal intake. Sinful but thumbs up!

Shin-Sapporo Ramen has quite a few promotions going on: If you dine in before 11.30am, you'll get 30% off the total bill. And if you are paying with citibank, you'll get a $10 voucher for your next visit. Shin-Sapporo Gyoza (pork)/ 5 pieces ($5.80) is their signature side dish that goes very well with ramen. The well-marinated minced pork with Japanese spices filling is juicy and flavourful. It's simply excellent to eat with Japanese shoyu, rice vinegar and chilli oil. Good snacks! Hakata Kara-Tonkotsu Ramen ($14.80) is a mildly spicy version of the Tonkotsu Ramen. There's an intriguing balance of the delectable rich broth and spice. Very comforting and tasty! Shio Ramen ($13.80) contains Japanese sea salt and is well known for its light and clear soup. Topped with various ingredients such as vegetables, seaweed, bamboo shoots, tender yakibuta and egg, it's definitely a good choice for those who prefer a light meal.

Covelli is one of my favourite Italian restaurant that has good ambiance, serves good food with absolutely affordable price. We were served with the complimentary toasted herbs bread while waiting for our food. We ordered two entrees. Covelli zuppa di funghi ($12) is yummy! The cream of wild mushroom soup is served with white truffle oil, full flavours! Crab cake ($16) is a must try. The pan seared crab meat patties is made from generous amount of fresh crab meat, and fried till golden bits to give the crispiness outer layer, and finally served with Mesclun salad and purple tartar sauce. Spicy Chorizo Sausage ($18) is slightly too salty and sour I reckon. The Orecchiette pasta with chorizo sausage is served in arrabbiata style, you might need lots of water after this. Black truffle ravioli ($22) is rich yet comforting. The ravioli filled with black truffle and cheese is cooked in brown butter cream, finally topped wityh grated hazelnuts. Sinfully yummy. Barramundi and lobster ($32) is a luxury combination. Two beautiful fresh seafood are being put together. The pan roasted barramundi fillet and charcoal lobster were served with fresh baby spinach in Gewurztraminer cream. The charcoal lobster is something new to me, lovely crispy texture on the outside, though it might not be so appealing but taste wise, thumbs up.
