Mado cafe OK Jan 10, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Middle Eastern/Mediterranean | Café | Ice Cream and Gelato

 

 
This is our first time having a meal at Mado cafe. They serve western food, pastas & desserts (waffles, ice creams & cakes).

We had a prime ribeye steak ($24.90) & chicken parmigiana ($16.90). The ribeye we had was 200g, medium rare. The ribeye was really tender, juicy & full of flavour with a tinge of herb taste. It comes with a big spoon of black pepper sauce & a bit of mustard with some salad & fries. Pretty presentation & very yummy!

The chicken parmigiana was a southern Italian recipe- breaded chicken layered with cheese & tomato. The breaded chicken was fried till very crispy & goes very well with the melted cheese & tomato, very flavourful indeed.

Unfortunately, we do not like the salad. The menu picture shows broccoli but we were served salad instead. I reckoned they ran out of broccoli? The salad dressing is not very nice, my hubby said it had a weird taste.

Overall, the food is still quite good.

Cold Stone Creamery OK Jan 03, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Ice Cream and Gelato

 
Went to Cold stone creamery for our tea break after shopping around Orchard. This is my third time eating ice cream here. Previously, I tried their blueberry cheesecake ice cream & chocolate mint ice cream. This round I tried a 4oz ($6) chocolate ice cream mixed with a scoop of peanut butter & one Reese's peanut buttercup. I reckon notin is better than the combination of chocolate with peanut butter. Simply love that flavour! However, come to think of it, the price is a bit steep for that small cup of ice cream. Probably will not buy ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery anymore since I can always buy a tub of icecream & add whatever toppings I want. The chocolate ice cream they served tasted very ordinary, not thick & creamy enough.

Soup Restaurant OK Dec 26, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese Soup

 

 

 

 

 
We went to try their ala cart lunch buffet at Hougang branch. As they do not accept reservations, we decided to reach the restaurant at around 11.30am hoping to avoid the crowd & queue. 

Our family love their singature Samsui ginger chicken. The meat is so tender & moist, when paired with their homemade ginger sauce, the taste is just heavenly. However, I found that this time their ginger bits were very coarse compared to what we had previously. Black pepper salmon is our favourite dish. The salmon were fried till crispy, cooked with onions & black pepper. Olive rice is very yummy on its own. Side dishes like fried chicken & prawns are very crispy & yummy. Sotong is very chewy & soft. Steamed minced meat with chestnut is pretty good as the chestnut bits add texture to the whole dish =) Both my hubby & I love their Chai Po egg, fried till crispy at the sides & the saltiness of the Chai po is just right.

However, we found that the restaurant standard had dropped. Probably because the buffet is cheap, so people were not complaining much? The restaurant is short handed & we need to wait for sometime for the staff to take orders & serve food. We waited for our olive rice for a long time but it was served to other table customers who arrived even later than us. Most dishes served were not hot. Also, not sure why their salted eggs looked a bit weird (not fresh?), is dry & blackish in colour. Our next table customers even told the server to change the salted eggs. There were supposed to have some roast meat inside the claypot tofu, however, we could only find tofu in the claypot this round.  

On the whole, the food still taste good.

Shinkei Restaurant OK Dec 11, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Sushi/Sashimi | Buffet

 

 
Shinkei japanese ala cart buffet is priced at $32++ for lunch & $38++ for dinner. We must say that the food is not exactly of premium quality, but considering the wide selection of food, I guess the price is still reasonable.

 
Buta Kimchi Itame (Stir Fried Pork with Kimchi) is pretty good. Tangy crunch & flavorful pork slices, quite appetizing. Gyozas & tako yaki were yummy. The outer skin of tako yaki is thin & crisp, with generous filling within. The octopus meat is quite chewy.

We recommend their Garlic Fried Rice, very fragrant & the garlic taste lingered in your mouth. Sashimi Moriawase is so so, we had tasted better  & fresher ones. There were many grilled dishes to choose from but noting too fancy that worth mentioning.

Will we go back to the restaurant again? well, probably not unless you are nearby the area & wanted some japanese buffet.

上海人家  OK Nov 30, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Shanghainese | Dim Sum

 

 

 
I stayed nearby & decided to drop by the place to try their food. There are only about 8 tables inside the shop & the seats are prety close to each other (practically can hear the next table's conversation).
The boss is from shanghai, very friendly but very hard core. We ordered only 3 dishes to try for our lunch but we spend more than one hour inside the shop, not because of eating but waiting for the dishes. They cooked their food items in batches, thus you will see all tables getting the same dishes at the same time. If you ordered an item different from the rest, then you need to prepare to wait sad

We wanted to order beef noodles initailly but were not available that day. Thus, we tried 排骨鸡丁葱油面 instead. Frankly speaking, the presentation does not look appetizing at all. I would dare to say the presentation of any fishball noodles at hawker centre beats them. However, as you dig in, you will find the meat well seasoned & flavourful. Their noodles were handmade as well & is quite chewy.

上海生煎包 is a must to order. The fillings were very flavourful. Accordingly to the boss, they only handmade the dumplings when there is an order. Thus, the dumplings served were piping hot straight from the wok.

I love the 南瓜饼. Basically it is just red bean paste wrapped in pumpkin dough & pan fried till slightly crispy. The sweetness is just right to my liking.
Overall, even though the food is nice, it is definitely not worth the wait or value for money.
