The name of this cafe is interesting and the decor with orange is equally inviting.
We decided to give this restaurant a try and were not diappointed.

The Cafe serves mostly Western dishes and has many set meal choices as well.
We ordered The Lamb Chops and Baked Rice with Chicken and Mushroom.
By topping up $3.50, a set meal is created with additional soup and garlic bread and a choice of Coffee or Tea or Ice Lemon Tea.

The Mushroom Soup was excellent - full of tiny pieces of shredded mushroom that you could chew. There was garlic bread on the side to go with it.
After savouring every mouthful of the soup, the Main Courses arrived.

We asked for the Lamb Chops to be well done. Initially they came with plain spaghetti on the side, but we were allowed to change that for mashed potato. That was good, though, because, not everyone likes to have lamb chops with spaghetti.
The Lamb Chops were well done to perfection and tasted awesome with the mushroom pepper sauce on the side. They were truly the best Lamb Chops ever tasted in a while.

Next came the Baked Rice - with chicken and mushroom. As with all other baked Rice dishes, it was piping hot, but this one had a sweetish fragrant smell. Probably that was due to the herbs that had been used to marinate and season it. It was full of cheese and extremely tasty. This dish was an instant hit with me and became my must-have. It was one of the best baked rice dishes that I had ever tried.

I'm not exaggerating here, but both dishes exceeded our expectations.
The desserts looked inviting, but we had had enough for the day.
Perhaps, the next time then.

The only problem was the lack of knowledge of the waitress, perhaps a part-timer, who had to constantly go back and forth to check on information we asked about.
The cafe is a great new find and we will definitely be back there for more.

We first entered this oulet with a little apprehension. We have always been used to old-fashioned laksa, with its gravy, but, this outlet had Laksa of a totally different kind.
The staff were very friendly and explained the various items on the menu.

The traditional laksa was really good - full of flavour and a generous amount of ingredients, but it was the Laksa Goreng that stole the day!
It had the full flavour and taste of laksa, minus the gravy.
It was just like Mee Goreng fried with the white laksa noodle and flavoured like laksa.

In addition, the laksa-flavoured satay was incredible - something very different!
You have to try to understand!!

The drinks proved to be very appetising and went really well with the food.
Will definitely be back for more!

A visit to this oulet at Nex never disappoints, and this time was no exception.
It was a busy and crowded Friday evening and the tables were filling up fast at Grandma's.
We decided to order some of our ''úsuals'' and try some new dishes as well.

Our usual is always Grandma's specialty - Fried Rice!
The Fried Rice is prepared with a secret recipe that gives it a special Ooomph!!
It also has a generous amount of prawns - my favourite.

One of us tried the Assam Prawns with Rice.
The rice chosen was Chicken Rice. At Grandma's you have a choice of 3 types of rice -
Nasi Lemak, Nasi Bukhari or Chicken Rice. Of course, there's plain whit rice as well.
The Assam Prawns tasted good with the Chicken Rice.
The Assam Prawns were not too spicy and the onions were crunchy and added to the
overall flavour of the dish.

The two side dishes, Kailan with Garlic, and Bean sprouts with Dry Cuttlefish were
great complements to the main dishes.
The stir-fried Bean Sprouts-Dry Cuttlefish combination was awesome!
This was our new must have!!!
In addition to those two sides, The Foo Yong Egg- another specialty - also enhanced the dining experience.

The cold Grass Jelly drinks went well with the food - another good choice!

It seems like almost everything on the menu will not disappoint - true to the spirit of
Grandma's.

Chanced upon this Coffee House in Concorde Hotel (former Meridein Hotel) on Orchard Road one evening.

It was past 9pm, so we decided not to try the Buffet, though it looked tempting.
We opted for some local dishes and coffee.
Piping hot coffee with warm milk was great on that cold, rainy night.
The Fried Seafood Mi Goreng and Kway Teow were good!
The yellow noodle used was of a thinner variety, and that added to the taste of the dishes.
The surprise element was the Satay - mutton and chicken.
It came packaged in brown paper, as if straight from a real hawker centre!
Interesting packaging concept, I must say!
It was the exceptional service that impressed us -more than the food, actually.
The manager in charge made sure that everything was perfect and it was, indeed.
Will definitely go back for the Buffets!!!

This outlet at Ang Mo Kio always has long queues and you have to be prepared to wait - for at least 15 minutes or more.On that day, though, we waited just five minutes.
The ambience of this restaurant is very rustic and gives one the impression that they have travelled back to the good old days - years ago!
The waitresses are aptly dressed in authentic Chinese outfits while the tables and chairs are made of wood. Actually there are more benches than there are chairs!
Even the menu is printed on paper that looks really ancient!'
Of course, one is jolted back to the present when the food arrives!
The Sharks Fin soup with Crabmeat was our starter - full of richness and sumptuous indeed! It was thick and delicious and full of flavour! It didnt really need any flavourings, such as pepper and vinegar - it was so good on its own!
Next came the Fried Bee Hoon. Though it looked light, it had been fried with some special sauce that gave it so much of rich taste - a true stealer!
For vegetables, we had the Celery with Snow Peas and Cuttlefish.
Every part of this dish was worth savouring - especially the cuttlefish!
In addition we also had the Egg omelette - packed with chives and prawns.
All these wonderful dishes went well with the free flow of Chinese Tea.
The service is fast and the food arrives pretty quickly as well.
Will definitely go back for more...
