This is our first time to dine in at Shisen Hanten restaurant at 35th storey of Mandarin Orchard Hotel. We occupied the sofa seats & we must say the view outside was spectacular. We tried a few dim sums such as fry carrot cake, custard buns, fry prawn dumplings & char siew soh. We think the fry carrot cake is really awesome, full of flavours & paired with their special shallot oil, wow.. they are really to die for Custard buns are prety good, the fillings just 'burst' out as you bite into them. So fragrant & flowly, best eaten while they were hot! Fry prawn dumplings are piping hot & crispy when served to our table, pretty good as well though a bit oily. Char Siew soh pastry skin is a bit too thick, we still prefer canton Paradise version with fragrant butter pastry skin.

We ordered Pipa duck, wagyu beef & fry mee as main. Wagyu beef was cooked medium rare which is really perfect for our taste buds, so tender & juicy. We highly recommend this dish
Pipa duck is another awesome dish. It was all sliced up nicely on a big plate when served to us. The duck meat was tender & juicy with crispy skin attached. The flavour of the duck meat is enhanced as you dipped them into the sweet sesame sauce. Yummylicious we would say for this signature dish! The fry mee was pretty good & flavourful with fresh big prawns, scallops & fish. The only flaw is that this dish is a bit too salty.

Its not a good meal without dessert. So we had fry red bean pancake as finale. Highly recommend this red bean pancake! Very crispy as you bite into them, bursting with smooth & sweet red bean paste. Really make you want to eat one piece after another. 

Overall, the food are really good but the prices are not so 'friendly' to our pockets. Its still a good dinning experience. Staffs are very friendly & attended to our needs promptly. Superb services rendered! =)

We love to eat japanese food. Spotted this store at Takashimaya basement sometime ago & finally get to try today. Tried out one of their best selling product - Big Fry Vegetable & a Aburi Sashimi Salmon Don. I must say the big fry vegetable's price is a bit steep but we reckon their food must be good to earn the long queue & crowd. We were right, the fry vegetable is simply awesome! It was about a 6 inch round fry vegetables. Though it was no longer warm, the vegetables still tasted very yummy & crunchy. In fact, it tasted even better when compared to those being sold in restaurants! We highly recommend this big fry vegetables to all =)

Their Aburi sashimi salmon don is another amazing dish. We can watch the chef prepared the dish on the spot. He was quick in his fish slicing skills & marinating the sashimi. Thereafter he topped the simple bowl of rice with a generous helping of the marinated sashimi & sprinkled some white sesame & spring onions on top. The sashimi were very fresh, well seasoned & flavourful. Thumbs up for the don! =)

It's first day in 2015 & my mum is lazy to cook dinner so we 'tabao' 'zi char' back. We bought a total of 6 dishes ($45) - salted egg sotong, cereal beancurd, garlic pork, hor fun, fry hong kong noodles & fry hokkien noodle.
All of us think that the dishes were cheap & yummy. The salted egg sotong is my favourite. Sotong is fry slightly but is soft & chewy as you bite into them. Simply love the flavours as they are coated generously with salted eggs. Cereal beancurd are cut into strips, fry & coated with cereal. Very cripsy outside & yet soft inside, paired with the slightly sweet cereal coating, wow.. it is indeed addictive! ;)
My mum love the garlic pork on the other hand. Though the pork is not that cripsy but is really tender & flavourful, very appetizing dish I would say! Fry Orh Fun, Hong Kong noodles & Hokkien noodles are quite common 'zi char' dishes but they really tasted delicious. Frankly speaking, we often feel thirsty after eating zi char outside, but amazingly we do not have such problem this round. 
On the whole, great food with reasonable prices. We will definitely go back to try other dishes.

They had a few flavours of yoghurt such as Sour Apple, Lychee, Earl Grey, Cookies & cream & orginal. Simply choose any flavours & add toppings you like in cup, the staff will weigh your cup to determine the price you pay for the yoghurt
We tried their waffle & top up $2 to add a scoop of Earl Grey yoghurt together with a cup of mango banana smoothie. I must say the waffle is very good, fluffy, light & crispy! Earl Grey yoghurt is extremely yummy! Very refreshing taste when eaten together with the airy waffle drizzled with chocolate sauce. We highly recommend the Earl Grey flavoured yoghurt =)
However, the mango banana smoothie combination is not very nice. The banana taste is very strong, hardly can taste any mango in the smoothie. Its just like drinking banana milkshake
We will definitely be back to try out their other yoghurt flavours

We went to Lime Champagne Brunch today to celebrate my birthday
This is a cheaper version of Champagne Brunch compared to 'The Edge' at Pan Pacific. We must say that Lime buffet spread is quite good with a wide selection of food including our favourite Foie Gras! The chef carefully pan fry the Foie Gras & sprinkle some sea salt on them, you can imagine how yummy they were when paired with some sweet pears slices & passion fruit =) My hubby love their Lobster Risotto. The chunks of lobster meat do add texture & risotto is packed full of flavour. However I felt that the rice grains could be cooked just a little more till slightly soften. Lobster bisque is very good, smooth & creamy eaten together with croutons... yummy =)There are the usual assorted sushi, sashimi-salmon & tuna. The tuna is not very nice, a bit on the dry side. We love their chewy cha soba =) Though the oysters were small, they were very fresh & yummy =)They had a pretty good spread of desserts ranging from the nonya kueh, cakes, ice creams, bread puddings to Matcha chocolate fondue. I simply love the Matcha chocolate fondue, dipping fruits & marshmallows into the thick, creamy sweet matcha flavoured chocolate. My hubby on the other hand love their own made lime marshmallows. He particularly love durian pengat & ate 3 small glasses.

Overall, the dinning experience is a pleasant one. The staffs were very efficient in clearing our used plates & attended to our needs promptly.
