The traditional fare at Mrs Pho may be a little clunky, but had a rustic, homestyled, authenticity to it. And although a squishy tiny place, service is speedy, friendly, and helpful. Our dishes arrived barely 5 minutes after orders were taken, in quick succession.
We ate:
1) Cha Gio ($3): lovely chunky texture, with wonderfully juicy porky flavours.
2) Nem Nuong ($3.50): decent, but failed to leave an impression, in light of the most amazeballs minced patties in Hanoi just earlier this year.
3) Pho Ga ($7.90): delicate enough, but missing in richness of depth. A tip is to ask for extra lashings of basil and mint, essential in making it all come alive.
4) Bun Bo Hue ($7.90): a hot and spicy beef noodle soup laden with stewed beef that was so-so, and a fantastic Vietnamese ham
5) Bun Bo Xao Sa ($7.90) - chilled rice noodles tossed in a peanut-onion dressing, and topped with beef slices stir-fried with lemongrass: must-try and the best thing here, with its clean and clear and crisp flavours

The colonial black-and-white manor is one of those places that reminds me of a seaside holiday, replete with the faint scent of lemongrass wafting through the picturesque black & white colonial bungalow, and a distant view of the Keppel waterfront.
With such gorgeous digs, I initially thought the Thai fare served here would be a little disappointing, in comparison to the amazing ambience. It was a pleasant surprise to find that Tamarind Hill served up seriously good Thai cuisine. A little more pricey than the regular Thai eatery, yes, but the food was exquisite.
A tip: call ahead always - the space is regularly booked out by private receptions of all sorts.
Another tip: their set lunches, at under $20 each, are value-for-money, and make for a lovely escape from the hustle of the office.
We had:
1) Pork Neck Phanaeng Curry ($34): mindblowingly awesome and must-try. Hands-down, most luscious pork slices ever. Despite the modern ambience, the curries aren't watered down, and they pack quite the punch.
2) Deep Fried Pork in Garlic & Pepper ($30): robust, fragranced with copious lashings of black pepper and golden nubbins of fried garlic.
3) Massaman Beef Curry ($34): redolent of nutty elements, and loaded with roasted potatoes and fork-tender beef hunks.
4) Vegetarian Tom Yum Soup ($22): fiery despite its clear countenance, chunked up with an assortment of enoki, oyster, shimeiji, and straw mushrooms.
5) Phad Chee Aiw ($16) - thick flat rice noodles with dark soy, interspersed with pork, eggs, kailan, and carrots: superb

Over the years, Don Quijote has had more than its fair share of bad publicity, but it appears they've weathered negative reports of bad service, lackluster food, and Donoghue v Stevenson-type lapses. Their half-a-decade tenure in the brutal F&B scene, where Spanish restaurants are a dime and dozen these days, is evident of their staying power, and their loyal following. Tbh, Don Quijote isn't the most outstanding or exciting of Spanish restaurants, but like that trusty beat-up Toyota Corolla, the fare here is hearty, rustic, and solid. Still, Don Quijote is excellent in their treatment of seafood, so best to focus your orders on their seafood-based tapas.
We had:
1) Gambas Al Ajillo ($18): get the live prawns, as opposed to the regular prawns. Purportedly sweeter, these were lipsmackingly good.Highly recommended.
2) Grilled Squid ($16): absolutely fantastic. Brilliantly cooked, with a smoky accent, this was a must-try.
3) Chipiron ($15): perfectly tender baby squid cooked in its own ink, wonderfully nuanced.
4) Tacos de Lomo al Queso Azul ($21) - tenderloin beef cubes with blue cheese dressing: The beef was cooked very well, and sauce refined, but even that couldn't mask the gamey taste of the beef.
5) Paella Especial ($53 for small): commendable, but a tad forgettable. That said, the seafood was very nicely treated, and swimmingly fresh.
6) Churros ($16): Delicious, these were crunchy on the outside, moist and chewy on the inside

It seems the breezy little spot is fast discarding its image as an in-house-guest-only destination, and coming into its own. The Southern Italian fare is excellent; hearty and soulful yet refined. Although the restaurant was a full-house at the revisit, service was surprisingly efficient and gracious.
We had:
1) Spaghetti alla Chitarra con Ragu di Crostacei ($29) - homemade chitarra pasta laced with shrimp and tossed with garlic, chilli, and extra virgin olive oil, and lemon: it's very saucy, but that's the best part, aside from the swimmingly fresh prawns and perfectly al dente pasta. So good, you'll ask for a spoon to wipe this clean off.
2) Spigola all'Acqua Pazza ($36) - Neapolitan-style seabass served with cherry tomatoes, olives, and capers, in a white wine sauce: exquisite and delicate. I only wished they'd drown this in more of that white wined broth, it was that outstanding.
3) Agello Arrosto con Timo e Patate ($36) - roasted lamb rack flavoured with thyme and served with new potatoes and sauteed vegetables: the husband thought it was lusciously cooked, and robust in flavour, I thought it was too full-bodied.
4) Sharing Dessert ($32): great sampler of their greatest hits. In descending order of preference, I liked the Tiramisu, Ricotta cheesecake, Biancomangiare, and Profiteroles

Located at the rear of Paragon, Cedele All Day Dining is often overlooked by much of the foot traffic. Which is probably why we like it. It's comparatively quieter than the rest of the dining options. The food here, focusing on wholesome healthy fare, is trite but decent. Service is sluggish though, a manifestation of the bistro's short-handed labour force.
We had:
1) Grilled Rosemary Chicken ($18): juicy and flavoursome, balanced by a tangy pomegranate sauce, and sided by a delicious mushroom and edamame-specked quinoa. Our favourite dish here, and one that we takeaway pretty often.
2) Cedele serves all-day breakfasts, and we like the substantive Sesame Egg Tofu ($14.50) with scrambled eggs, sauteed mushrooms, pumpkin glaze, grilled cherry tomato, and brioche toasts.
3) Omelette ($14.50): choc-a-bloc with field mushrooms, red pepper, onion, and additional Cheddar filling ($1) and delicious
