I ordered a bowl of Katong laksa (on-going debate over whether this is the real katong laksa aside) to try for myself and see what the hype is all about. It was really quite expensive, given that the smallest bowl is priced at $4.50. No chopsticks are needed here; only spoons are used. The coconut based broth was rather thick and it was mainly spicy was a tinge of sweetness. The creaminess of the broth shone through first which made this a really sinful bowl of noodles. The freshness of the prawns were however suspect. It tasted too hard and much too like frozen prawns.

Irodori Japanese Restaurant has a very extensive selection of dishes for its buffet menu and its buffet is priced at a reasonable $35++, as compared to other more famous Japanese buffet restaurants. The ambience is also rather quiet and they offer lots of special dishes like green tea tofu (which was fantastic) and ebi mentai mayo which was also very good. The sashimi was fantastic because it was clearly very fresh and sliced perfectly without being too thick. Certainly worth a visit!

I was craving for some la mian and Crystal Jade La Mian @ Holland Village came to my mind so I decided to try it. The sauce itself was pretty good, as it was sweet and sour at the same time and came with a generous serving of vegetables. The noodles itself was quite springy and done pretty well although one may complain some were a tad too thick. One would have to mix up the noodles with the sauce properly for a good and relatively affordable meal at around $12.

Company decided to be nice and cater food for its employees today. The catered food from Elsie's Kitchen however was so-so. The vegetables were really tasteless after being mass-cooked. It was completely too soggy and too much moisture. The fried stuff was also very unhealthy and tasteless. The sausage was too artificial whereas the fried ngoh hiang had too much base ingredients rather than the shrimp taste that should have been inside.

Cedele prides itself for making good cakes using healthy ingredients and it has a pretty decent selection of cakes. The carrot walnut is very good. The cream cheese frosting went very well with the moist carrot cake and it was not overly sweet. The Dark Chocolate fudge, a cake made up of 3 layers of very dark chocolate with chocolate frosting, was also excellent because the cake itself was very thick and filling, with obvious good quality chocolate being used. A sure delight for chocolate lovers.
