Still the best Smile Sep 13, 2021   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Noodles

I must firstly admit I am not a laksa fan but I do get the occasional craving for the rich santan (coconut milk), milky and tasty laksa broth.

In my humble opinion, 328 Katong Laksa is still the best Singapore has to offer. I frequent this place once every month. No frills place; simple and comfy. I always have my laksa with otah and lime juice. Everything just falls in place with good mixture of flavours and taste. 

Support!

Buffet in times of Covid-19 Smile Sep 06, 2021   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Buffet | Sukiyaki/Shabu Shabu

This brand needs no introduction but having recently visited their Bugis+ outlet after my last dinning experience with them which has been many years back, I was equally surprised at the quality of the buffet vis-a-vis its price.

During these hard-times, buffets are no longer the same. We have to select the food which is then delivered to us. Service was good as the items were delivered very quickly. The soups are still the same as I use to remember it - tasty! Kudos to Sukiya for being able to retain the quality of food. 

I filled myself with countless servings of small and large cubes of beef. Didn't find the pork slice that great but the beef more than made up for it. Vegetables were fresh and service was good at this outlet.

Sukiya has never been known for its spread of its buffer offerings but what can we expect for this price level? I thoroughly enjoyed my dinning experience and I told myself that I will be back more often.

Located in the quiet I12, this Suki-Ya outlet is rarely packed with customers so if you hate queing, this is the best place to dine.

What I like about Suki-Ya is their soup. It is extremely tasty and not overly salty. One of the best in town, IMO. Service is also very prompt, which is rare for buffet outlets. You can order as much sliced meat (choice of chicken, beef or pork) as you want and it gets delivered to you very quickly. Sliced meat a really thin though so you just have to keep ordering.

As for the spread of food, I find it to be limited. In fact I would say, less than 30 items vs other buffet places which have more than 50 at any time. You get about 8-10 vege items, another 5-8 fish/meat balls and noodles. The condiments are also very limited.

The worst part of it all is that they limit your dining time to less than 2 hours.

However, the place is well kept and clean. Overall, it was a pleasent dining experience given the comfortable and clean ambiance, coupled with good service and great soup.

Value for money sushi Smile Mar 07, 2022   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Sushi/Sashimi

One of the better sushi place in Singapore for me.  The spread is OK but the best thing for me is the sushi dinning experience without flattening the wallet. At S$1.50 for most dishes, one can afford to feast without worrying what comes at the end of the meal. Another good thing is that the fish is fresh. The only complain I have is that the good stuff are slow to roll out. I like sashimi very much and find it lacking on the conveyor belt. They have nice desserts too and would recommend their cheesecakes and mochis. They often have special items priced slightly more but still worth it.  When I have cravings for sushi, I'll definitely head over here.

Best steaks Smile Dec 13, 2021   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Western | Restaurant | Pasta | Steaks and Grills | Burgers and Sandwiches

To me, Collin's offers the best value for steaks in Singapore; certainly better than Astons.
The spread in their menu is impressive. They have budget steaks as well as premium steaks, which is good value for money. My favourite is Angus D-rump steak (500 gram) - amazingly succulent.
