Went there for a badminton session with my friends and we decided to dine at pastamania for a late lunch fix
after exercising. Pastamania serves a variety of pasta flavours in reasonable prices, mostly less than ten dollars.Creamy chicken pasta - $8.60: Usually, I prefer cream based pasta to tomato based pasta and one of my favourite pasta from pastamania is this creamy chicken pasta. The portion was just nice for me. The pasta noodles are springy and the sauce is creamy and flavourful. However, more chicken pieces would be better.

This restaurant is operated by students for training purposes.
The service provided by these students are comparable to those restaurants outside.Bread served with butter-
Warm and fluffy bread, matched well with the butter.Dessert-
Looks appetizing and well decorated. Portion was kind of small but overall, not too sweet.Minestrone soup-
Quite flavourful with lots of ingredients.Spaghetti bolognese-
Served with flat pasta instead of regular round pasta. Pasta was cooked just nice and springy and the sauce was flavourful.Blueberry cooler-
Rich in blueberry taste but a tad too sweet.

Battered Fish Sandwich - $13.90
The sandwich is quite small but tasted nice. The bun is lighted toasted to a soft and fluffy texture with a very slight char taste which I like it to be. The battered fish fillet was tender and tasted fresh and the flesh could literally melt in one's mouth and the lettuce were crunchy.

The fries were curry flavoured and were quite flavouful.
They are those thin straight cut type which I like and also, they were not oily

Zenden restaurant was having a 1-for-1 buffet promotion for major credit/debit cards and my mom and I decided to dine there. Unlike the usual hotel restaurant settings, this restaurant has colourful chairs in a white setting, very unique and zen feel. The lightings are bright and we happened to sit near the windows and enjoyed the view outside while eating. The overall service is good, there was a staff helping an old lady to scoop the hardened ice cream and also another staff offered to take tissues for me when I was about to take it myself.

The food selections there are quite limited and not a lot of varieties offered, but their food quality are good. There are the cooked food section with mostly tasty dishes, seafood section with fresh seafoods, sushi section, salad bar section, soup section with two different soups offered, bread section with only one type of bread (soft and fluffy) and butter, ice cream section with toppings and syrups, beverage section with coffee and tea, and lastly, the most memorable part of the buffet, the dessert section with tasty mini cakes, tasty durian pengat and tasty chocolale fondue (served in a pot instead of fountain), in short, all the food items served on the dessert section are tasty. Both the durian pengat and chocolate fondue are not the sweet kind and tasted really pure.

Overall, this is one of the best buffet for my mom and I, and my mom keep wanting to go back for their buffet. They focused on quality and not much on quantity, but the quality part is enough to tie our heart and stomach.

Dined in this restaurant with my mom. When we entered the restaurant, there was only one table occupied, and it was already near dinner time. Throughout our dining in the restaurant, only around five other groups of diners patronised. Well expected, since most people go rivervale mall only for the sake of the NTUC, and not for dining purposes. One good thing is that, due to the sparse amount of diners, we managed to get the attention of the waitresses easily, and there are only 2 to 3 waitresses. Even the chefs are too free until starting to walk around the restaurant.

We order a Duo Combo set, $23.90++ and a Spoon Pizza (Chicken), $17.50++.

The Duo Combo set consists of 2pcs Olive Luxury Chicken, 1pc Jerk BBQ Chicken, 2 mushroom soups, french fries, mashed potato, olive rice, sweet dates and 2 SJORA mango-peach drinks.
All the food in the set tasted good, especially the Jerk BBQ chicken, which is a char-grilled chicken chop coated with their special BBQ sauce. It was really well marinated throughout the whole piece of chicken chop and the meat was very tender. Their BBQ sauce is really tasty.

The Spoon Pizza (Chicken) tasted really good and delicious. Instead of using pizza bread as the base, I think they used something like a sweet pancake base instead. It is a really good rendition though, as the pancake base is fluffy and not too thick and tasted a little sweet which matched well with the cheese topping. The cheese topping is another thing worth mentioning, it was really moist and cheesey and rich in taste and even produced lots of the stretched cheese effect, simply good quality cheese used.
