This place has become a regular dine-out for my family and I for the simple reason that of all the casual Japanese diners that we have come across, this scores the best in terms of food quality and price. Plus, I just adore sitting by the conveyor belt and watching plate after plate of delectable sushi parade past me. I mean, who could sit and watch food and NOT be happy, right

Some of our regular orders are the Agedashi Tofu, Swordfish Sashimi and Grilled Mackerel. The Grilled Mackerel never fails to hit the spot with its crispy skin and flavourful flesh. Remember to give a light squeeze of lemon over the top to further enhance the freshly-grilled aroma, and down it with a pinch of chopped daikon (white radish), yum! I have recently taken a novel liking for Scallop Sashimi but every time I try to order that, the waiter informs us that it is unavailable, which is starting to annoy me a bit. Maybe its time to start scouting for a place that actually sells what is written on the menu, but till then, we'll still be satisfying our sushi cravings here.

Came here as a farewell dinner for a friend. They had a huge variety of Japanese and other fusion food: sushi and sashimi, pizza, finger food, chicken rice, dim sum, some oriental dishes and dessert. Being a dessert lover, I had such high hopes for the dessert section. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver and the only thing there that was worth the calories was probably the durian puff (they were having a durian special). The other most frequented section was probably the fried food section (the only thing you can't possible go wrong with). Other than that, quality was kinda lacking, which for this price, i guess is understandable. The sheer selection of food was probably the only salvaging factor. That being said, social obligation was the only reason for this visit, so aside from that, I doubt that I would be returning again.

I recently got a voucher to this place, and since i was in the area today, I decided take the opportunity to use it.

Before i touch on the food, i must say that this place is the perfect hideout from all the hustle and bustle in the middle of town. Located just at the entrance of SomersetTripleOne (the builiding beside Scape Youth Park), Black Coffee Dessert Bar provides a peaceful setting for those who are seeking to escape the drowning crowd and noise outside. Great for quiet dates and client meetings (or any other situations in which you actually need to be heard).

It was happy hour (5-8pm Mon-Fri, 2 for $10 hosuepour) so me and company got ourselves a gin and whisky to unwind ourselves for the day. Being full from dinner, we decided to share a piece of carrot cake that the staff reccommended. That was before i eyes the red velvet cake on display, which i am going to save for my next visit. Nothing much to say about the alcohol because it's pretty much the same where ever we go. The cake sat well with us - moist and not too dense, with a fair amount of raisins and walnuts and, wait, was that pineapple chunks i thought i tasted?? My only critique would have to be about the texture, which i thought was a tad too coarse. Oh, and less mascarpone in my frosting please, but that's just a personal preference.

Other than that, the cafe also offers a range of drinks and solids, including an all-day breakfast menu. Prices lean toward the higher side, but service is also one above what you would get at your regular Starbucks of Coffee Bean stalls.
