Bought a cake from royal cakes for my Mom's birthday! Similar to the logcake size. They also allow you to sample the flavours before buying! (really good scheme!)This is the coffee cake as my mom loves coffee! I love this cake a lot even though I'm not a fan of coffee flavour. It was really really soft, as though I was eating tofu! I also like that the flavour wasn't overpowering but a nice taste that lingers in your mouth even after you've taken your last bite. There was also this thin glossy layer of jelly which was really nice to eat! This will be the place I'm going to go to get cakes for my friends during their birthdays!

I believe that this is the 2nd outlet to the one at Cathay Cineleisure. it has been known to be reasonably priced but maybe the rent at star vista was higher, they have incorporated the increase in price to the customers as well. I didn't think it was that worth it for this quality of food.

We ordered the Wagyu Beef Set for a promotional price of $49.90, original price = $70+?! WOW. The soup base was quite bland to me, ordered the original miso soup so that I didn't have to be charged extra which will most probably ruin the taste of the beef anyways. Although the price was really quite high, I must say that the beef was quite tender and soft. There were no connective tissues in the meat at all which made it easy to chew. I'm not too sure of the grade of the beef but I believe its somewhere up there since they could charge so much. The vegetables were normal as you have to control the fire yourself.

I kind of like the sauce that they gave but honestly, I really don't think it's worth the price. You can get the same type of beef at a korean restaurant with a better taste.

Queued for this as I saw that there was a relatively short queue compared to the other stalls. I ordered this Bento Box Chicken set which cost $5.50. Felt that it was totally not worth the price as the chicken was dry and thin, the rice was also quite dry as they didn't add enough sauce and the cabbage was plain unappealing. Maybe my personal preference for eating softer cabbage but this one was really the crunchy type and I felt that it was raw. The egg was cooked nicely but due to the low amount of sauce given, it was equally dry. Thumbs down to this.

Nice presentation of our cutleries.

We ordered this vegetable dish which was a special type of vegetable and couldn't be found elsewhere at other zi char stores. I think it is a cross between spring onions and perhaps, spinach as it was crunchy and had the spring onion taste but it also had this spinach taste, thus my funny description. It's really unique but the sauce was a little too salty for my liking. However, I found myself reaching for more. It's still quite enticing nontheless.

We also ordered the soon hock fish. My family never really like eating the whole fish as we were lazy and didn't want to deal with bones. But this time, it was different as the fish was really fresh! I could still taste the ocean while I was eating! HAHA! It may be a freshwater fish though, I'm not too sure.

Overall, this is a good place to have a mini gathering with your family and friends!

Pasarbella at the Grandstand seems to be an up and coming place, I saw people taking wedding photos in there! And this marketplace kind of store had only revamped itself recently! It has a very rustic feel where you'll definitely feel like you aren't in Singapore.
I heard many reviews and saw many instagram pictures reviewing these crodos and I had to try it for myself!Chocolate Crodos ($4.90)I think this was already the last few left from the batch of the day as after I bought one, the next person who came swept up all the remaining 3. Lucky me! This hybrid baby born from a croissant and donut tasted really brilliant! The chocolate was really smooth and ooozes out, engulfing your whole mouth with rich and thick chocolate, talk about sinful indulgence!! I like that the crisp surface still tasted really fresh and was quite flaky, baked to perfection!
I envision that this will be the next food fad as it's really awesome and the love such hybrid foods!
