My sister and I will go Jurong area at least once a month. This time round, we decided to settle our lunch at Westgate mall. As we were walking around the mall deciding what’s for lunch, we chanced upon this classic modern style serving Indian cuisine. We decided to give it a try. Zaffron Restaurant serves north, south Indian cuisine and as well local Indian foods. The interior design of the restaurant is classy with wall glasses at the entrance of the restaurant and westernize bar when you step in. We were introduced to their online ordering system instead of having the traditional ordering. Thus, this explains why they only have 2 service staffs for the whole restaurant.The mini Ipad ordering was easy and user-friendly. We took our time browsing through the online menu and placed our order. The whole process took us less than 10 minutes and waited patiently for our orders to process.Drinks that we ordered were Ice Kopi S$4.50 and Teh Tarik S$3.50. Sisters ordered Chat Masala Fries @S$5.00 as the starter for the main course. The fries are crispy with light masala taste. Dum Chicken Bryani S$13.50 serving was generous. The dish was served sealed with a thin layer of dough with hidden briyani, chicken thigh and egg. Something different in terms of presentation and at the same time retains the flavors and taste of the dish. I ordered Garlic Naan S$4.50 and their signature Butter Chicken S$16.00 to complete the meal.Chicken Tikka marinated in a delightful yogurt and spice mixture with butter flavored gravy perfect for the naan. The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for dinning as a couple or in small group. Pleasant and peaceful moments with cosy chatting session over the lunch as the restaurant is quite empty. Service staffs were quite friendly and provide suggestion on foods recommendation. 

I have always wanted to try Todai as it is well known as the “Mother of all Seafoods”. Finally has the chance to visit the restaurant as we bought a deal S$38.00nett for lunch buffet on weekdays. We made prior reservation before heading to the restaurant to avoid any disappointment.
The restaurant is very spacious and huge compared to other buffet restaurants that I visited. Each section has their individual open concept kitchen where the chefs perform their tasks. All chefs are busy preparing for the foods and the display are nicely filled with beautiful decorated foods. Basically, chefs are doing their job on individual sections to ensure the turnover of foods servings.
Since it is a lunch buffet, fresh oysters are not served. But snowcrabs are served for lunch though. Salmon sashimi is available as well. There is a chef at the counter slicing the sashimi live to meet the customers’ demand.
I personally enjoyed the salads section.There are quite a various selections for salads and are nicely presented on the display. It is something different from the usual buffets. Different kind of dressings are mixed with the ingredients. This tempts me to try all of it. Unlike most of the restaurants, salads bar does not have choices like these.

Live Italian pasta is available in request. Diners can request for the available choices of pasta of the day for chef to prepare on the spot. Foods are always taste better when it is served hot. Korean section is available with some of the korean specialty foods at the section. Churrasco section has the well- grilled meats that are nicely grilled and juicy taste.Desserts section is not to miss with its variety of desserts available on the counter. Crème brulee and different flavors of mini slices of cakes are available. The portion of the cakes is just perfect for buffet session. This can reduce the food wastage and diners able to taste a bit of everything.
The restaurant has an excellent culinary standard as the chefs delicately prepared the foods and did the art plating as well. Service staffs were prompt with their services. Plates are cleared away after I am back from my next serving. I will definitely visit to try the dinner session next round.

Uncle Tetsu Cheese Cake started their first branch in Singapore recently. The brand is very popular for producing Japanese style cheesecake. Uncle Tetsu originated from Kyushu, Japan and has outlets in Japan, China and Taiwan.All cheesecakes are baked fresh daily in the stall. Due to the high demand and limited quantities for each batch, there will be new batch fresh from oven over times.There are two types of cheesecake offered here which is the original flat cheesecake and the dome shape cheesecake.It comes with 3 different flavours – Mango, Strawberry and Chocolate S$13.90 for Dome shape cake.
The original cheesecake S$9.90 was soft, light and fluffy It does not taste too cheesy at all. It sort of melts into the mouth especially the ones that are freshly out from oven.
Store Manager shared some insider information about Uncle Tetsu during the session. The secret to their cheesecake is that they will steam the cake before baking them. Thus, this explains the differences on the texture of the cheesecake with others. No added preservation in their cake at all and best to store in fridge. The cake only can last for 3 days.

The Thai Restaurant is well-known in Thailand for its boat noodles and authentic Thai dishes. My first time experiencing Thai afternoon tea set and apparently Nara Thai has just launched Erawan Afternoon tea set not long ago. Erawan Afternoon Tea Set S$12.99 ++ per pax inclusive of a cup of tea or coffee available from 2.30pm t0 5.30pm daily. It’s my first time hearing about Thai high tea set.Top Level:
Fruits Skewer l Mango with Sticky Rice l Thong Muan (Coconut Wafer Rolls)
Middle Level:
Kanom Bueng (Thai Crispy Pancakes) l Look Choop (Sweet Bean Paste in Fruit Shapes) l Tha Koh ( Thai Coconut Pudding l Woon Ma Praow (Agar and Coconut Jelly)
Bottom Level:
Sakoo (Tapioca dumpling with Chicken Filling) l Chicken Satay l Ma Hor (minced Pork and l Peanuts on Fresh Pineapple) l Toong Tong (Thai Golden Bag)
With the price offered here, the selection is quite generous as you are able to try many different types of Thai foods at one time. I personally love the mango sweetness with sticky rice and the crispy pancakes. The coconut pudding and agar are very flavour and firm. Loving the mini size portion of the servings as I can get to try every single one without feeling guilty of over-eat. If you are craving for Thai cuisine and greedy having varieties lay on the table, I would recommend you to give a try on their high tea set here.

Finally have the chance to visit Artistry Café after passing by for so many times. One of the café located around bugis-kampong glam area. Café hopping has been a trend now and everyone loves exploring cafes around Singapore. Artistry stands out from the rest as it is an art gallery theme café. Paintings, music and anything related to art are displayed in the café. It is a walking distance approximately 10-15 minutes walks from Bugis MRT Station.The interior of the café was cosy and classy which comfortable music lightens up the atmosphere. However, the space is quite limited for indoor. Seats are limited and customers will need to find their own seats. But, luckily the café has the outdoor seating which can accommodate more people.For orders, customers will need to be self-service to order at the counter and payment to be made upon ordering. The foods will be served after that. Free flow of Ice-water is placed at a corner for self-service.
Artistry Crab Burger S$20 is a must try dish when you are in Artistry and I am glad I made the choice. Jumbo lump crab, crispy on the outside and moist in the inside served between artisanal squid ink burger bun with fries. Crabmeat patty is very filling and flavourful. Not too much of oiliness nor overdose with its generosity. It was just nice for my taste bud. The bun was soft and goes well with the crab patty.
As I observed the surroundings, most of the servings are Crab Burger and cakes. I would love to revisit the place again to try on their cakes and others in the menu. Till then.
