I was surprised that there was no queue at all on a weekday afternoon around 2pm. My previous trip with hubby here, we saw a long queue outside the restaurant. I quickly scanned through the menu that was put on the wall and decided to order Shoyu Ramen with 2 pieces of Char Siew. I walked into the restaurant, wanted to put down my bag, but the staff told me to go over to the cashier counter to make my payment first. I told her my order and she said the portion might be too big for me. I replied, only 2 pieces of Char Siew right? She looked at me again and said the Char Siew portion would be very big. Ok, I would order the smaller portion with one piece of Char Siew.

My bowl of ramen was served very shortly. Where is the Char Siew?There you are! You can see the size of the char siew relative to the bowl? I guess Baikohken is one of the most value-for-money ramen you can find in Singapore. My bowl of ramen cost $10.50 nett. However, a pity that the char siew was not very tender.The ramen are thick and curly type. However, I think taste-wise, it was just average.

This restaurant is not in Australia but in Singapore. A fairly new restaurant which I think is very popular amongst the office workers working near Raffles Place. It is located at a little corner on the 2nd level of Clifford Centre. I almost missed it because I didn't see the signboard of the restaurant. Reached there around 1pm and the restaurant was still pretty crowded.

While most of the staff working there are quite young, my food was being served to me by a very friendly auntie. Their fresh pasta cost around $15.50 while the normal dried ones cost a few dollars cheaper.

Wild Mushroom Soup
The soup was thick and I think it might be better than my favourite mushroom soup from "The Soup Spoon". I can come back again just for this mushroom soup!The staff recommended the following fresh pasta for me.
Summer Truffle Egg Tagliatelle ($15.50)
Egg Tagliatelle with summer truffles, Parmigiano-Reggiano and chives
The pasta was soft and this dish was really very flavoursome. Might not be a good choice to have this if you order the very rich and creamy mushroom soup in the same set.Total Bill: $9.90 as I bought the discount voucher from Streetdeal.sg

My parents decided to go and explore Marina Bay Sands. I suggested to dad to park our car at Marina Square and we could take a slow walk over to Marina Bay Sands via the Helix Bridge. As such, we also had our dinner here. We were not very hungry so we just settled at Jiaxiang Kuching Restaurant for a bowl of Kolo noodle each. Most importantly, there was no queue and we didn't have to wait for too long before our food arrived. The menu varieties are quite limited. For noodle, you either choose the normal Jiaxiang Kolo mee ($6) or their special Kolo mee ($8.90) which include abalone and fried wanton. I loved the texture of the noodle but hated it when I found a lump of noodles not loosened up properly in my bowl. I vaguely remember that I did have good memory of the kolo mee here and thus I recommended this to my parents. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the fried wantons dipped in mayo/ chilli sauce.

Although we have been staying in Pasir Ris for almost 5 years, this was the first time we came to Silvery Moon at Pasir Ris Park for dinner. I had chanced upon this place from reading a blog post. Most diners, mainly families with kids, would opt to sit inside the air-con restaurant whereas the smokers outside.

Hubby ordered Krombacher Weizen (Wheat Beer) - $11.50 which tasted sweet and refreshing.


Cranberry Juice - $2.50 (top-up with main course)


Hubby's Garlic Prawns and Steak. The steak was quite tough and difficult to cut.


I was quite satisfied with my huge portion of Breaded Chicken Schnitzels but the portion was really too big for me to finish on my own.

Our first visit to Shin Yeh, a Taiwanese restaurant under the Tung Lok Group. I had purchased 2 vouchers from Groupon at $15 each for a value of $30. I made a reservation for two at 8pm. We reached there early, at around 7.20pm and decided to try our luck, hoping there was a table for us.

We ordered a pot of Eight Treasure Tea ($12). The staff were quite attentive and they would refill our cup with tea regularly.

Pan-fried Pig’s Liver with Coriander 煎猪肝
Large portion of Liver! This was really delicious! Must try!Sweet Potato Porridge ($1.50) was smooth.

We also ordered Poached Savour Duck in Boullion which was quite tender and nice.

Pan-fried Turnip Cake 正宗菜脯蛋
Not too sure how many eggs were used but it was fluffy with the saltish crunchy dried turnips, perfect with a bowl of plain porridge. Again, the portion was quite big for two person.We were given complimentary mochi after our meal.

Total bill was around $80+. With the Groupon coupon, we topped up another $20+. So on average, it was $25+ per person.

Something to note: The restaurant is located directly above a pub. At around 9pm, you will start feeling the slight "tremor" of the ground which might spoil your dining experience there. So try to be there early!
