Nt so fantastic dim sum buffet OK Nov 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Sichuan | Restaurant | Dim Sum | Seafood

I been to Si Chuan Dou Hua for dinner at job plaza before and this is the first time I try out their dim sum at park royal. The dinner ala carte buffet is really good and value for money. On the other hand, the dim sum buffet turns a little disappointment for me. 

The service is very slow. We ordered the dishes and it takes at least 30 mins to arrive. Some are worst, it never came.  

The food is so so only. Some are pretty salty. Of cos, there are some that are pretty good too. But overall, I personally feel not worth the money. The buffet cost 28 ++ per pax for a weekday and 30++ per pax for weekend. 

Environment. The restaurant is located at Kitchener road in park royal itself. Accessibility is still ok to me if I drive. But frankly speaking, I don't think I will return again.

Putien set lunch menu is good! OK Nov 12, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Fujian/Heng Hwa

I have been to Pu Tien for dinner before and this is the first time i tried their lunch set menu. Pretty value for money i would say especially i get to select dishes from a few variety (for appetizer, main course and desert) and form the set lunch menu.

this time round we took the set lunch for 58+ for 2 pax
=)

pork belly with garlic - i love this. seriously! the pork belly is not as fatty for a health conscious person like me.

 
Bamboo herbal prawn. - It taste very much like drunken prawn except it is added with some herbs in it. The soup is refreshing but the prawn is overcooked i feel.

 
for our main course, we took xin hua lor mee. at first, i was quite sceptical on how this dish would taste like from the look at it but it is actually very good. love the fresh clams in it!

 
steam ground fish with chilli. i love this very much. the chilli is not very spicy and is very appetizing for me lol.

 
for desert, we made a terrible mistake lol. the desert is actually quite nice. just that we dont like it. it is pumpkin cream with ice cream.

 
it comes with complimentary fruits

Dinner @ Whole Earth OK Oct 11, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Thai | Peranakan / Nonya | Restaurant | Vegetarian

for more food pictures and detailed review, please go to http://princessmic80.blogspot.sg/2013/10/of-whole-earth-peranakan-vegetarian-food.html

Whole Earth restaurant started since 2003 that offers another alternatives to normal vegetarian food ~ Thai Peranakan cuisine. The restaurant has also gain its reputation for many winning awards too! Located at Peak Seah street, the restaurant is a 1 level restaurant and is usually packed with alot of customers. So if you do want to dine at Whole Earth, do remember to make your reservations to avoid disappointment.

The variety of food actually surprise me as they do offer more variety than some of the zi char vegetarian restaurant. Food taste wise, there are some dishes that wow me and some that give me a boo. The price is consider pretty steep. Each dish is approx 10 over bucks for small size.

Here are some of the food we had that night

Fried Mee Sua (7 bucks)- I find this dish is pretty good for vegetarian style of cooking. The mee sua is not too soggy nor it is very hard. it doesnt really taste vegetarian to me

 
Double boiled nourishing soup - 28 (S) / 55 (M). i guess this is the most expensive dish of the night. We ordered a small one to share which is slightly just nice for 4 of us. The soup is pretty much "herbal" taste with bamboo shoots in it. The taste wise is ok for me. nothing much to wow about and neither to boo about. OK only

 
Oatmeal tofu with curry leaves (15 bucks). i love this. especially the oatmeal. The toufu is pretty crispy but soft on the inside.

 
broccoli with braised monkeyhead mushroom (19 bucks). For those who love monkeyhead mushroom will love it and vice versa. For me, i am a fan of mushrooms so i love the taste of monkeyhead mushroom. but sadly this dish doesnt give me a WOW. is just a normal stirred fried except with premium ingredients

 
nonya curry (18 bucks) . this one gives me a boo. the curry powder is too much and too dry for my liking.

 
here, you can choose unpolished rice or white rice to go with your meals! for those who are very health conscious, you can opt for unpolished rice!

Overall
Food wise : ** ( Ok only)
Price : ****
Customer service : * ( slow in serving customers and attending to customers. i seen they are quite rude to the guest at another table)

Will i come again? Sorry. dont think so

Irish food for the day OK Oct 06, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Irish | Bars/Lounges | Restaurant

A irsh restaurant that is al-fesco dinning serving alcohol beverages for happy hour. They also do serve main courses and deserts too! As the place is located just outside 313, although fixed with a big fan but it still gets pretty warm on the afternoon but guess it is quite ok for night. With the classic 80s music background, it gives me the feeling to chill out even on a Sunday afternoon.  This restaurant serve pretty wide variety of food choices as compared to usual ones that serve only finger food. 

So we tried their beer battered prawns and chips for the main course. 19.90 bucks which considered quite reasonable at a irsh restaurant
The prawn battered can taste the beer bitterness. M nt really a fan of it. But the prawn is pretty fresh

For desert we opt for apple pie. The pie cost abt 4.90 per dish. The apple pie is a little sour for me. But overall is quite nice. Yum. Thumbs up for apple pie
coolers for the hot afternoon

Expressed fish ball noodles for the busy ones during weekdays. It is my lunch hunt during weekdays especially if I just want to head out for a quick lunch. The food wise I feel is slightly steep as the noodles is very little but good for small eaters or if I m not too hungry for the day. 

The minced pork noodles is also something that one should try. Although food serving is little but food taste is not bad. They do offer set meals that comes with a coffee or tea at approx 6 bucks. Oh. I tried their satay bee join, serving portion is disappointed and I need to look for snacks to fill me up.
