This outlet of BlooiE's Roadhouse Bar & Grill is located quite out of the way, inside of Science Park II. I had once dined at this restaurant many years ago and was pleasantly surprised that the restaurant is still around with the same rural, rustic settings.With the big pond and surrounding of greens, BlooiE's always made me feel that I'm at some countryside instead of the bustling city, Singapore. A great place to relax with a drink with your friends.We had some BBQ Chicken Wings ($13.90) which was great. It's sweet with tinge of spiciness. A great appetizer to start your meal with!We also had Cobb Salad ($15.80) to share and it was super appetizing! Lots of fresh lettuce with Avocado, bacon bits, grilled cajun chicken, tomato, blue cheese & lemon vinegarette sauce. It's super yum!

The salad comes arranged nicely like how you see in the picture, and you'll have to mix it up yourself. The good thing is that you can control how much of the lemon vinegarette sauce you want to put in, but I'm all for putting more as I really like the slightly sour tangy taste in my Cobb Salad!The BLooiE’s Bacon Mushroom Cheese Burger ($16.90), which is one of their signature dish, is absolutely divine! A thick 180g of beef patty with creamy mushroom sauce & strips of bacon, it's enough to make my mouth water just by thinking about it. I especially love the creamy mushroom sauce that burst with flavour in your mouth with the juicy patty.

Comes with a generous portion of fries as well. Highly highly recommended.BBQ Beer Butt Chicken ($38.80) is another signature dish that you cant get anywhere else. Grilled till crispy brown with spices in a beer can stuffed up the chicken's butt, something you should try at least once in your life time. This is how the chicken looks like after the friendly staffs sliced it up for easier consumption. Very tasty & juicy with slight beer flavour.

*Please note that to enjoy this dish, you'll have to call in and order it 1 day in advance!

Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at BlooiE's, a place I would bring my friends to for a fun gathering night. The place is relatively empty on a weekday evening with just a few tables occupied, but you can see that the customers are here to really enjoy their meals & company rather than those eat & go type.

Their service staffs are really friendly & attentive, volunteering to help change our plates when we were done with our appetizers. A truly great dining experience with great ambiance, great service & super delicious food!

This Kkongdon Barbeque outlet is located at the first floor of Toa Payoh Safra, about a 10 minutes walk away from Toa Payoh MRT station. A convenient location to have a satisfying meal if you are around the area, or at the Safra enjoying their facilities.This is my first time dining at Kkongdon Barbeque and I was pleasantly surprised at how clean & well furnished the restaurant is. Each table comes with its own BBQ stove pan and smoke vent. The height of the smoke vent can also be adjusted. When you are leaving the food to cook, you can lower down the smoke vent so the smoke & BBQ smell does not get into your clothes and hair. Very thoughtful design indeed.The restaurant serves Ala Carte meals, but you can help yourself to Korean side dishes at their free-flow salad bar with order of any of their meals. My personal favourites are the Korean marinated beansprouts and their fresh lettuces.

For my mains, I ordered a Short Rib with Black Pepper & Pork Belly Set ($20.80) to share with my colleague.The set comes with a good portion of meat enough for 2 person to share. The pork belly although a little fatty, is good for oiling the pan as well so the food doesnt get burnt.

The Short Rib marinated with Black Pepper was too spicy for us as we cant take heat well. We feedback to one of the staff about this and she immediately suggested helping us to wash away some of the black pepper on the meat.

Kudos to her and her great service that we do not have to let the meat go to waste. Instead we actually enjoyed the short ribs as the meat was fresh & tasty, after taking away the overpowering black pepper.

Also included in the set is a bowl of Chicken Bean Paste stew soup, and a small portion Korean rice cakes.The Chicken Bean Paste soup is very tasty, with flavours of the Korean miso but not too salty. It comes with generous amount of ingredients like chicken, cucumber, golden mushroom & tofu. The rice cakes are chewy although the sauce that comes with it is a little bland. An okay complimentary dish.

Overall my experience at Kkongdon Barbeque was great. Although it was Ala carte style, the food served was more than enough.. with free flow salad bar, meat, soup & rice cakes for less than $30 for 2 pax, I would say that it is really affordable & worth it.

Coupled with a nicely furnished relaxing setting and great service, I would definitely come back again with some friends for a get-together eating session!

Penang Kitchen is a small cozy restaurant located along Tanjong Katong Road which serves authentic Penang fare at wallet friendly prices.The interior of the restaurant is cozy & welcoming with a seating capacity of only about 30. A great place to have a small family gathering but maybe due to the place being small, chatters of neighbouring diners seems rather loud throughout the meal.We started off the meal with a refreshing classic Penang drink but rarely seen in Singapore - Nutmeg Lime ($3.20). This is the first i had ever tried Nutmeg and I would say it's a rather interesting experience. The Nutmeg lime is kind of like Sour Plum drink without the sourness and with a hint of cinammony taste.One of the must have starter you must have at Penang Kitchen is the Penang Sampler ($13) which consist of their Homemade Penang Lor Bak and Belacan Chicken Wings.

Their Lor Bak is not your usual Lor Bak but more like our Wu Xiang.. something you must try at Penang Kitchen! Their Belacan Chicken Wings are nice & crispy, though a little salty, but delicious nonetheless.I am a big fan of Assam Laksa and I must say the Assam Laksa here is really good! Spicy and Sour but not over the top for both. Definitely one of the best I have tried, I cant help sipping at the soup even after I have finished the noodles.Another one of my favourite dish is their Penang Char Kway Teow which unlike our usual Singaporean Char Kway Teow, have thin Kway Teows and a generous amout of ingredients like chinese sausages, beanspouts and prawns.

One thing I really like about this Char Kway Teow is that they dont have the greasy uncomfortable feeling that you sometimes get when you eat a plate of oily Char Kway Teow. The Penang Char Kway Teow here is light but still bursting of flavours. very nice!For dessert, we had Hot Almond with Tang Yuan ($4.80) which is outstanding as well. The Almond paste is super smooth and the star for me is the Tang Yuan itself.. Soft, chewy and bursting with black sesame paste. Super Yums!Overall, Penang Kitchen left a great impression on me with their delicious dishes, wallet friendly prices and fantastic service. I will definitely bring my friends here for some authentic Penang food again.

Sik Wai Sin Eating House is a restaurant with an attitude. With a no reservations no menu policy, be sure to come early to book a seat as the restaurant tends to get really crowded during lunch time and on weekends.Situated along Geylang road, Sik Wai Sin had been around for more than 60 years. Now passed on to the second generations, Sik Wai Sin continues to serve delicious home-cook styled Cantonese dishes that many old timers continues to come back for.

Serving only a total of about 8 different dishes a day, the restaurant doesnt provide any physical menu and you'll have to check with the staffs what are available on that day. Ingredients are also limited thus once the ingredients are out for the day, they would stop serving the dish. This is probably one of the reason why the restaurant is more crowded during lunch time - when most of the dishes are still available. Cantonese are really well-known for their soups, so soup we must have! Though clear, their Watercress Pork Ribs Soup is packed with flavour and plenty of ingredients. In fact, there are so much pork ribs and watercress that there's not much space for the soup.. which is a pity as the soup is really nice!This is probably my favourite dish that I had tried that day! With thick & flavourful gravy that goes really well with rice, and tofu that is oh so soft & yummy~ Definite must have! Highly recommended.This is smaller portion of half Song Fish head, another signature dish of Sik Wai Sin and a really popular dish among fish lovers. I believe they also serve the whole fish head for bigger crowds or you can order that if you really love fish.

The Song fish head is steamed with generous amount of pork lard and bean paste that completely covers the fishy taste and brings out the freshness. Another highly recommended dish!

After visiting this place, I can really see how this place manages to survive & operate for so many years when it seems that their only form of promotion is via word of mouth. Even though their food seems more homely than lavish, this is a place that you will never forget once you have tried it!

5 Little Bears is located conveniently at Far East Plaza, and serves popular Taiwanese food like Oyster Mee Sua, Braised Pork Belly Rice & Salted Crispy Chicken.The inside of the restaurant is free seating style where you have to order your food at the counter, and they will call your number to pick it up when the food is ready.

For my meal today, I ordered a portion of the Salted Crispy Chicken & a bowl of Oyster Mee Sua.For the Salted Crispy Chicken, I felt that it was too dry and very hard. I was quite disappointed with this dish as all I could taste is the flour and hardly any chicken.The Oyster Mee Sua however was not bad. It's flavourful and silky smooth, easy enough to eat with just a spoon.

Even though we visited the restaurant during lunch time, there was plenty of seats and not much of a crowd. Great place to get a quick meal.
