Riverwalk Tandoor offers a buffet of more than 10 different kinds of Indian dishes and curries.

There was papadum, an Indian cracker that I love. But because they were left in the open and weren't covered, they softened really quickly There was vegetable soup, and also sliced raw vegetables such as radish, tomato, cucumber, carrot & onion, and yoghurt and mint sauce. For the carbs, there was biryani, steamed rice and naan.

For the main dishes and curries, there was mutton, fish and two chicken dishes, and the rest were vegetarian. I had the mutton curry which was not bad, while the chicken tandoori was a little dry and tough. For the vegetarian dishes, I had snakeguard curry, cottage cheese and potato curry, and another dish of spinach and kang kong cooked till soft. Overall I liked the vegetarian dishes a lot more. There was also this crispy thing as appetizer which was really nice. Not too sure what exactly it was.

To end off the meal, there were assorted cut fruits like watermelon, papaya, honey dew, and 2 kinds of dessert - a sweet milky liquid with beehoon-like strands and pastry balls soaked in syrup. The pastry balls were extremely sweet.

I've had their beef noodles before which were great. Though I wanted to order it again, I was tempted to try the Rice Vermicelli with Deep-Fried Soft Shell Crab. I was really glad it turned out equally yummy!


This noodle dish is a dry one, with a thin sauce served on the side for you to pour in and mix with the noodles. The portion of the sauce was just right to ensure that all then noodles were nicely coated in the it. The sauce was light, with subtle sweetness and savouriness. I really liked it! Their rice vermicelli is slightly thicker than the thin bee hoon you normally have, and they were really nice and smooth. There were also shredded omelette, sliced cucumbers and pickled veg like carrots and radish, which added a nice crunch to the dish. The 2 deep fried soft shell crabs which were halved were good too, meaty and not really oily. I really loved how everything went really well together and I'll be coming back to order this dish again!

&Sons was pretty much like a bar restaurant, with really loud music playing in the background. The concept here is that the food they serve are tapas style, with small portions for each dish. We were expecting to have decent/great food here but we were really disappointed.


The yellow sauce you see at the top is the sea urchin sauce. Both the taste of the sauce and spaghetti were really forgettable. This dish was also quite oily.



I really love cod fish but the Roast Cod was very charred (the other side of the fish was even more charred), such that the charred taste overpowered the taste of the cod, which was really a pity. Not to mention all the charred bits are super cancerous too. The only thing I liked out of all the dishes was actually the salad served with the cod.



The iberico pork belly was really tough, making it really difficult to bite the meat apart. We were expecting the meat and fats to be melt-in-your-mouth sort of standard . The Tuscan bean cream was mild, tasted like mashed beans only.



The mojito was ok to me, which had a strong lemon taste but no mint taste. Wished I could somehow taste the mint since that's one of the biggest components of a mojito.

This outlet of Auntie Kim's Restaurant is located at Alexandra Retail Centre, and I liked how it was a rather quiet mall compared to all the super crowded malls in town etc. However, there were quite a number of people in the mall on a Saturday night so it's not like it's a ghost town! The deco of the restaurant was very Korean like, with muted colours and the staff in traditional Korean costume.


There were quite a number of food that looked really tempting, but we decided on the army stew in the end. The army stew has a history to it (just google 'army stew') and it consists of "American food" like sausages and luncheon meat, with mushrooms, sliced carrot, sliced rice cakes, tofu, zuchinni slices, leeks, kimchi and some Korean ramen. The ramen included in the pot wasn't much, so we ordered another bowl of rice and another portion of ramen. The stew base was quite spicy, but sharing the army stew with your loved one and slurping up the spicy noodles and ingredients felt very shiok Just thinking about it is making me salivate!

There was also ban chan/side dishes which was complimentary. The ban chan is refillable at some places but sadly, it's not the case here. I really loved their ban chan so I would really love for them to make it refillable. There were 6 side dishes.


This was cabbage kimchi. It was nice and juicy and crunchy, but really spicy!


Bean sprouts which were nice and crunchy too. Korean bean sprouts are always somehow juicier and fatter than the normal ones you eat in Singapore.


This was kelp, which I really really love! It was kinda crunchy and savoury which tasted like seaweed.


Spinach that's cooked with sesame oil I think. It was still fresh and wasn't overcooked with a hint of sesame.


I'm not too sure what this was, but they were like noodle strands in mayo which were really crunchy. I really liked it but I've no idea what they were.


This was pretty interesting and can easily replicated at home. What you see are actually zuchinni slices coated in egg then pan fried. This is probably a good way to disguise vegetables to feed them to fussy kids !

The Korean food here is of good quality, and I also really liked the ambience and deco of the restaurant. Will be returning again and again in the future

I originally wanted to go over to Zion Food Centre for dinner but their menu looked really tempting and I'm always game for Japanese food so we ended up in Ichiban instead

Their seasonal set menu had an assorted seafood set, consisting of assorted seafood in garlic teriyaki sauce, chawanmushi, snow crab miso soup, salmon sashimi, cold tofu with sesame dressing, rice and 2 slices of watermelon for $27.90. I ordered this as I liked every item in the set


The assorted seafood consisted of 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of dory, 2 prawns and a scallop in garlic teriyaki sauce. I thought the portion was really generous! I gave 1 piece of salmon and dory each to my boyfriend and was still full after the whole meal. This says a lot since I'm usually a big eater. The sauce was a little salty. The salmon could also be more moist. My favourite was the dory fish.


The chawanmushi was nice and soft with the lovely eggy taste . There were ginko, mushroom, and a big chicken chunk inside.


Included in the set were also 4 slices salmon sashimi, which were fresh and yummy. They didn't stinge on the thickness and size of the slices which I was really happy about

I was expecting to taste some of the crab's sweetness and freshness in the miso soup but I couldn't. I was a little sad that it tasted like normal miso soup. Anyway, there was a good amount of tofu cubes and seaweed in the soup. There was a pincer and part of the crab leg in the soup, but the snow crab meat was difficult to eat, with the meat stuck to the shell and it comes apart easily/disintegrates when you try to pull the meat out. Not sure if this is how the meat of snow crab normally is. But taste-wise, the crab meat was nice and sweet.

I thought this set was pretty worth it considering there were so much food included! The food quality was also good. Ichiban never disappoints
