I paid my visit for early dinner during a weekend Sunday after movie time. I was there around 5pm and there's only two table occupied. 

The food is standard and good. I love their grilled pumpkin side dishes and mashed potatoes. The grilled fish with peri-peri sauce was good too. Their soup of the day are good too with fish bites in between.

I love their ordering system with iPad setting which made the ordering simple and fast. 

I paid my visit to Tao's restaurant on valentine day for their valentine special set dinner. For your information, they serve regular set course menu for lunch and dinner. Luckily I called for booking in advance before 3 weeks. It was full house on the night. We are at the last slot 8.30pm so we can enjoy our dinner at no rush. 

The ambience of the fine dining restaurant is modern and spacious. You will get a better view of Singapore river if you sit at the window side which I recommend.

The food wise, everything was served in order. The foods were well decorated in nice plate.

 As starter, we had scallop & sea urchin tempura, escargot platter. They wrote "my valentine" on the middle of the plate for the special occasion. Taste is good for the scallop but not the escargot which I don't like the smell. 

As cold dish, we had lavender bluefin tuna, compressed watermelon. The tuna was so fresh and so was the sweet watermelon.

As side dish, we had soft shell crab tempura, truffle mash. The soft shell crab was mediocre but the truffle mash was impressive. It was mashed sweet potato with truffle. It was so tasty with the natural sweet of sweet potato. The best mash I had.

As soup, we had pumpkin soup and cream of mushroom. The cream of mushroom is more recommended even I'm a pumpkin lover because I thought the pumpkin soup could have done better in flavor.

As main courses, we had bbq pork rib, apple cider braised red cabbage and crispy skin fillet of Tasmanian king salmon. The BBQ pork rib is highly recommended which was so juicy and tender. However, the salmon was a tad overcooked.

As dessert, we had sticky date pudding with vanilla ice cream. The pudding is good match to eat with the ice cream to balance the sweetness. 

As tea, we had hot rose apple tea and ice summer peach tea. Both were good.

I will visit them again for their regular menu set.

It is a well-known and famous dessert shop located at central heart of Chinatown. It's only within 5 minutes walking distance from Chinatown mrt station. 

They offer quite range of hot and cold dessert as well as some local snack. Their price are also affordable. Although it's crowded all the time, but you can get your order very fast. 

Recommendation: yam paste, peanut paste, pumpkin kueh, rice dumpling in ginger soup

If you are looking for the good and affordable western restaurant, you might at the right place as Aston is famous with it's good price and food. The restaurant is located at the shop row behind the Malaysian food street beside the USS. You may find it is quite difficult to access if you are not familiar with place. 

I would advise you, just walk through the Malaysian food street and go to the back door and Aston will be at your right side corner.

Food are standard as usual but the service there might be not good compared to other branches.

We order grilled fish with herb and 3 chicken set with different flavor. All came with two side dishes along. We also order their mushroom soup with garlic bread. The garlic bread is so crunchy and tasty.

I paid my visit to this combination theme of modern and nostalgia cafe located along river valley road on Sunday afternoon. It is a corner shop which is not conveniently accessible if you are not driving, but there is a bus stop just outside the cafe and you may reach the cafe from somerset mrt station within 20 minutes walking distance. 

As it is a small place with limited seats, it was fully packed with customers and we were told by the most friendly stuff that we can be seated after 15 minutes even there was many reservation along behind. We got our seats after 5 minutes though! Best services. 

Food and drink wise, the chocolate SGD6++ was good but a little too sweet for me as I like bitter taste more. We order egg bens SGD16++ and big brekkie SGD22++. The sautéed mushroom and home roasted potato were the best side dishes, I prefer the scrambled egg compared to poached egg. 

The prices offered was a little pricey though. Despite that, I had the best service experience which it definitely worth every dollar I spent.
