Located at the base of Pearl's Hill, along Chin Swee Road, HotelRe! encloses guests in a scenic environment whilst being just a stone's throw away from Singapore's major shopping district, Orchard Road.

As you step into Hotel Re!, a modern retro themed boutique hotel, you are lost in swirls of vivacious colours and psychedelic furnishings tempered with a sleek modern touch. With numerous themed boutique hotels in the metropolis, this 12-storey, 140-room boutique hotel is a wondrous surprise waiting to be discovered.

So here I was with my mum, for my festive set meal at Hotel Re!'s dedicated restaurant; Re!Fill. Accompanied by the placid environment of the serene city park, guests are given the privilege to savour their meals without rushing through them.

The meal started off with an appetizer- Portobello Mushroom in Oilive, Marinated Scallop, U.S White Asparagus and Black Truffle Vinaigrette. Very beautifully laid out, the appetizer was as appetizing as it looked!

Next, we had the soup- Chicken of Essence with Spinach Revioli Enhanced. Personally, I felt that the soup induced a very 'homely' feeling as it was simple yet tasty. It tasted very much like the soup from your home-made macaroni. There was a simple slice of toast with salted butter to compliment the soup served.

Following that, we had the main course. I had: grilled beef tenderloin with foie gras sauce, sauce potato gratin and a medley of vegetables. My mum had: roasted chestnut stuffing, honey baked ham, potato gratin, zuchinni and raspberry walnut dressing. We shared our mains to get a taste of both dishes. After discussion, we both felt that both mains were just as fabulous! My beef tenderloin was well done, not too tough to chew on and the meat juices blended very well with the foie gras sauce. The turkey was finely sliced and the mix of ham slices gave the whole dish a slightly salted taste.

Penultimately, our much anticipated desserts arrived! Hotel Re!'s 'Temptation Delights' they call it. Indeed, the desserts looked very tempting from afar as we glanced across the room waiting for the waitress to serve the very colorful platter. Temptation Delights consists of: a scoop of chocolate ice-cream, toppled with strawberry, a mini mango cake, a cocktail jelly as well as a 'kebab' of fruits. The variety of desserts were delicate and sweet as they should taste.

Finally, we had our beverages (coffee/tea) to end off the meal.

This festive set meal is priced at $23.80++. I would say its worth a try, but if you're looking for something more filling, opt for their buffet instead! Have a splendid Christmas everyone!!

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!

My family and I lunched at PuTien, the one at CitySquare Mall. As it was a weekend, the queue was super long! Thank god we made reservations before hand. The food was pretty decent but its rather expensive for frequent visits! Love the complimentary abalone set they served. We had many items to choose from the menu as well as items for self-service. The prawns, fish and soup were good. The only thing I felt they ought to improve on was the desserts..they should have more variety like a chocolate fountain?

My family and I are basically big eaters and we decided to try out this buffet after random sourcing over the internet. The cafe is located at Concorde Hotel with a very classic backdrop for an excellent meal. The spread includes peranakan cuisine, japanese and american delights. I was overall quite pleased with the food variety, especially with the fresh salmon slices. The service was good and the staffs cleared our plates efficiently. If you are wondering where else to have buffet lunch, this place is worth a try.

headed to Din Tai Fung for lunch on a typical weekday. the queue was quite long although it was a weekday. must be due to the lunch hour! their signature dim sum- xiao long baos were hot and juicy! had a pork cutlet rice to go with and washed the meal down with tea served. service was fine, and the lighting was cosy. I think it would be great if they had the xiao long bao buffet at their wisma outlet..probably too much to ask for, but the one in holland-v would be more worth for money! with steamboat and all..best of both worlds! come on lets have one in orchard pleaseeee!
