If you are with a group of friends with widely differing tastes, you can head to Ramen Champion (RC) which has several different ramen stalls housed within the same compound. Which was what I did when I was at Bugis+ with my friends and we went to RC for dinner.I ordered the ramen and though it looks nicely presented and all, with its thick broth, I didn’t really enjoyed it much. Although the chef was quite generous with the fillings, and the noodles was well-cooked, but I didn’t really like the broth since it contained hints of ginger in it. It’s good for people who love ginger so it’s not really a flaw in the dish but more towards the taste.

Well I had still return to RC to try out the ramen offered by the other stalls!

A group of friends and I headed to The King Louis for dinner. The restaurant offers a medieval feel coupled with “fortresses” and “knights”. As I came with a large group, my friends and I ordered quite a few dishes to share.We ordered the Norwegian Salmon which tastes like the salmon which I can eat at home too. The skin is crispy, and the salmon does not have a strong fishy taste so it is good. Below the salmon are vegetables with mushrooms. Which somewhat acts like the filler ingredients. The Poulet Chicken tasted quite normal but it is a little dry. This too comes with vegetables and fries.We also ordered pork ribs, which appears to be a popular dish and so we ordered whole. The meat is well cooked as it is tender and very easy to get the meat apart from the bones. The bbq gravy seeps into the fries below giving the fries a nice bbq taste as well.The cheesy chicken is nice with the cheese on top. Can remove the cheese quite easily though. It tastes slightly better than the poulet chicken cause of the extra cheese element. It was also less dry and more juicy.My friends ordered the Roasted Beef but I didn’t really try. The waiter showed slight displeasure when my friend asked if we could get one piece rate and the second piece medium rare. The waiter also tends to correct peoples’ pronunciation, such as when I pronounced Salmon incorrectly, and this can be a little annoying. The waitressing staffs were so busy that they also forgot our requests to refill our water several times.

Happened to pass by Rive Gauche in JP and decided to buy their desserts after looking at their wonderful display of cakes. I got the Brownie Bear ($6.50) and Crunchy Cheese Crumbs ($5.80). I am not a big fan of chocolate but I got the Brownie Bear cause of its cute design. The bear cookie on top was just too cute to resist. Anyway its’ aptly named since the base was made up of chocolate cake filled with walnut bits. The chocolate cream on top was very creamy and yet not very sweet.The Crunchy Cheese Crumbs comes in a small plastic bowl and the top and bottom was lined with cookie crumbs while the middle is made up of cheesecake. The cheesecake is not too dense and so it’s quite a light dessert. I recommended my mum to have a try because it does not have a heavy cheese flavour.

Though the cakes is a little pricey considering the portions, it is definitely worth the price for the taste and quality of the cakes. The price matches the overall feel of the shop and packaging of the cakes too.

Punggol Nasi Padang, as its name implies, serves nasi padang and also other food like nasi lemak and roti pratas. They also have a drinks stall. It’s not a big restaurant since the kitchen and serving area took up some space but still there are seats available.I had the Nasi Lemak at this stall and was quite disappointed with the food served. They have a few sets to choose from and I got one of the pre-determined sets but I changed the chicken wing that comes with it to ikan bilis. Besides which, it came with otah, fish and cucumbers. The otah tasted quite hard, and wasn’t nice to eat at all. The fish was better and they gave 2 pieces which was quite generous. But like the otah, feels as if it has been left for some time after being cooked and felt cold when eating it. Still, the fish was quite salty and palatable. The chilli is super spicy though! Wished there was more of the anchovies in the ikan bilis to lend somemore flavour to the ikan bilis.

During the recent festive celebration, my friend and I headed to Pizza Hut and I ordered the Pizza Hut Christmas Delight set ($33, excluding GST and service charge). It consists of a regular double decker pizza (so-named because it comes with two layers of toppings), 2 soups and 2 sparkle drinks. The latter tastes like sprite mixed with syrup or food colouring.The pizza has 2 layers of cheese with rolled up bacon and crust filled with cheese. The bacon was not too salty so it’s good for those with low salt tolerance. The crust is thick crust ones and although it looks very cheesy, it’s not. Looks can be deceiving. The pizza is okay but cannot be considered super nice. The soup happened to be chicken soup and I found it refreshing because it was not the usual mushroom soup or clam chowder soup. It has quite a number of pieces of chicken meat in it. This is good and filling. Drinks-wise, it’s a bit weird. Like I couldn’t tell if I was drinking syrup or sprite.
