Went cafe hopping with friends on a cloudy saturday. We thought summetry served all day breakfast and went there in the evening. When we got seated and looked at the menu we were surprise that they serve brunch until 3. Should have done more homework before going.

So we ordered their calamari with squid ink sauce, salmon with risotto and pork belly.  The pork belly was tender and the proportion of fats and meat was good. The calamari was a little too oily for my taste. The risotto was not the creamy kind and tasted nice. We really enjoyed the food but the price is a little steep.

The service was good and the place was full house so reservation is needed. I would go back and try their brunch next time.

Won the grandstand vouchers from the Grandstand contest and went to MAD to try out the food here. We ordered a fried rice, pork belly, spring row, char siew su, chee cheong fun, baked char siew bao and red bean pancake to share. The dishes was quite nice and especially the red bean pancake. It was really crispy and the red bean paste was just nice.

The prices are more expensive and the portion is relatively smaller as compared to the other Chinese restaurants out there. I would say it is slightly toward chinese fine dining and it was worth the try.

Wild Honey is one of the hottest go-to place to eat All Day breakfast. The place is quite small so walk in would require waiting time especially on weekends. The food was really nice but the price is slightly steep. I think the hollandaise sauce was delicious and the poached egg was done perfectly.

Overall, the concept is quite interesting as the dish names are named after countries and a short description. But I think there are other cafes that offers same quality or better with the price paid.

Plaza Brasserie have this annual crab buffet during the crab season. They offer dangui crab and steam crab along with famous Singapore crab dishes Chilli Crab and Black Pepper Crab. They also had the fried salted egg crab and butter crab. Personally I preferred the steamed crab as the other crabs were too oily. After eating one or two you wouldn't feel like eating more. The rest of the buffet spread was good and up to their usual standard.

Have been hearing about this Crystal Jade branch which serves free flow original XLB from friends for years and I only got to try it for the first time this year! The steamboat offers pork, beef and lamb slices with more pork slice variety (collar or belly), seafood and a selection of mushrooms. The only downside about the place is that it is really crowded and the service is not that good.

Though the steamboat is slightly more expensive as compared to the steamboats outside the XLB made it worth it
