Birthday celebration Smile Feb 10, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Restaurant

I paid my visit on my birthday eve celebration. The branch at Clarke quay offer a good open dining place with a view of Singapore river and Clarke quay night life. 

The food and dessert are standard and above average compared to other branches. I love their dessert which is creative and decent.

Despite that, the service could be improved as it was hardly to get noticed sitting at open dining place outside the restaurant.
 
Oven-roasted White Fish w/ Yuzu Sauce

Oven-roasted White Fish w/ Yuzu Sauce

 
Oven-roasted White Fish w/ Yuzu Sauce. It was oven-roasted to perfection. The white fish paired with ravishing Yuzu sauce in an elegant taste affair. The taste is perfect for the combination.
Pan-seared Chicken Breast w/ Shogayaki Sauce

Pan-seared Chicken Breast w/ Shogayaki Sauce

 
Pan-seared Chicken Breast w/ Shogayaki Sauce. Marinated chicken breast exquisitely matched with shogayaki sauce and a mild edamame cream. Served with onion-roasted potatoes, lotus root slices and broccolini. The taste is good and chicken was tender and moist.
Baked Chicken Thigh w/ Wholegrain Mustard Sauce

Baked Chicken Thigh w/ Wholegrain Mustard Sauce

 
Baked Chicken Thigh w/ Wholegrain Mustard Sauce. The chicken thigh oven-baked to a succulent tender with a sweetly fragrant wholegrain mustard sauce served with a side of garden accompaniment. The chicken is juicy and tender.
Beef Brisket Baked Rice

Beef Brisket Baked Rice

 
Beef Brisket Baked Rice. Fork-tender chunks of stewed beef brisket drenched in feisty sauce with a golden layer of melted cheese. The taste is quite good and but the beef was quite little in portion.
Apple-art Parfait

Apple-art Parfait

 
Apple-art Parfait. Curated with chic precision, this artistic trio of golden-baked apple tart, calvados parfait and caramelised apple deglazed with white wine will astound you with a seductive caramel sauce. The presentation and layout of the dessert is so creative and innovative. Despite that, the taste was just passable but not impressive. The mousse kind layer is kinda sour.
Pinana Landing

Pinana Landing

 
Pinana Landing. A surreal tableau of warm pineapple frangipane oozing vanilla custard surrounded by fresh banana and chocolate coconut tree is your sensational dream escapade. The best combination of chocolate and banana as dessert never goes wrong. The layout of dessert is so artistic and presentable with beach theme.
Puffy Triplets

Puffy Triplets

 
Puffy Triplets. Sink your sweet tooth into three profiteroles with rich chocolate ice-cream atop a fine almond-espresso financier. Spectacularly indulgent! The puff is good so as the ice cream atop.

I paid my visit with my friends during a weekend Sunday dinner. This branch is quite huge with many seats offered. There's a short queue when we were there.

They offered good range of Italian food. The food is standard and ordinary. However with the price offered, it's worth a try.

We tried their baked fish with potato wedges which I think it is the best dished we ordered.

The seafood paella was good too but a tad too dry.

The squid ink spaghetti is not my taste though because it was too dry.

We order two soup to share which is good and tasty.

Hifumi was one of my favorite restaurant as it offer semi buffet style which you order one main course set and compliments with free flow appetizer on the bar, you may add on SGD1.99 for free-flow drink also. I love their chawanmushi and pumpkin salad. Their pumpkin walnut salad was a legend! Their main course are mediocre. 

However, recent visit disappointed me. The free flow drink prices increased to SGD2.99. The variety and quality of appetizer is not good anymore. 

 Remarks: Avoid the branch at plaza sing which restricted dining time to 90 minutes and also bad service.

Overrated bakery OK Jan 23, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Fusion | Bakery

I paid my visit on a weekday late afternoon 16.01.2014. The place is conveniently located at the marketplace basement of raffles city shopping mall.

The bakery is famous of croissant which I found quite mediocre but kouign amann is worth to try. 
The rest are normal fare.

Well mentioned, the pumpkin soup came with two big prawn was quite good but portion was too small despite of the price. 

Nevertheless, the branch in raffles city basement marketplace is a convenient location for those who need a tea break or short meet up.

I paid my visit to this hotel restaurant for lunch buffet during my company training on weekday. The place is located at the lobby of hotel. It offered Asian style buffet which mostly local food. 

It was a standard buffet meal but they do offer a live station for satay outside the hotel. You can try the nyonya kueh and kueh pie tie as well. They offer a good salad selection too.

The food I tried is chicken pie which was generous in filling and quite tasty. Their salad selection taste were good also. I love their ondeh-ondeh as the gula melaka flowing in the filling was just perfect for me. The rich chocolate tart was really rich in chocolate which is a little too sweet for me.
 
Recommended Dish(es):  Kueh pie tie
