Some time back, we visited this restaurant located around NTU alumni club house. The restaurant was very quiet on a weekend but the ambiance was rather cozy. I ordered a grilled fish set while my brother ordered a chicken chop with rice set. Both tasted just as great as it looked. The dishes were very nicely presented and overall I would consider it a satisfying meal.

One weekday afternoon, we headed to Straits Cafe at Rendezvous Hotel for a sumptuous lunch. The buffet was pretty good, with a wide spread of variety. Some of the highlights were their laksa, crabs and durian desserts which I tremendously enjoyed. Their sushi and sashimi were fresh and delicious! Also equally good was their crabs and prawns. There were many types of durian desserts like durian puffs, durian puree (my favorite), cakes and crepes. Service was average though. The staffs were not very attentive as they forgot to fill our glasses with water. The buffet could be better with more drinks offered instead of just coffee/tea/tea-tarik. Best if there were a vending machine for drinks! =p

I love buying bread from this chain because of the variety. Their promotion is currently any 3 buns for $2.50. My favorite bread however, is not from the range on promotion. It is their raisin cream cheese bread which is very soft and fresh. Best to come early in the morning where their cream cheese is served warm from the oven. The fluffy texture of the bread and cream cheese just melts in one's mouth so heavenly. Try it!

It was on a weekday that I had lunch here. Fortunately there wasn't a crowd and my orders came quite soon. I ordered their set lunch at $9.50 which comes with soup, iced-peach tea, free flow of bread, main course and their dessert of the day. My main was a jumbo-chicken set which came with french fries and salad. The chicken was nicely roasted I must say..it would be my new favorite at cartel other than their prime ribs! Dessert of the day however, was not to my liking. Just a mini swiss roll which I skipped.

Since primary school, my favorite burger has always been the classic fish burger at mac's. Today was the first day of their 'buy one get one free' fish burger promotion and there was not much of a crowd at this outlet. My friend and I decided to buy their fish burger since it was cheap and promising. The burger was nicely packed and it was even yummier when eaten warm. The fish was crispy and their cheese is not too salty. No wonder kids find it hard to resist at McDonald's!
