Walked by Gong Cha at Square 2 and noticed that they have introduced a new flavour on their menu, Taro Milk Tea.
The Taro Milk Tea however was a bit too sweet for me even though I only asked for 50% sugar level. The Taro Milk Tea also lacked both the yam and tea flavours. The drink does not come with pearls, so you need to fork out extra for them. Overall I think the drink is not worth getting.

Shen Xi Soup has expanded in various food court and now the cantonese style hong kong slow boiled soup is readily available in the neighbourhood.

I ordered the pig intestines with ginko nuts soup together with a bowl of yam rice. The yam and soy sauce flavoured rice was very enjoyable together with the bowl of hot soup. The clear and pork rib based soup came with a delectable peppery flavours which went went with the rice.

The Calamares a la plancha indeed was a good choice. The freshly grilled squid in extra virgin olive oil brought out the nature ocean taste of the squid. The squid was also soft and not chewy.The other tapas dish we had was Patatas Bravas, roast potato in Romesco sauce and Alioli sauce. For a few pieces of potato to cost $10.80, I find it rather expensive and not worth.

The Crema de Mariscos or Cream Seafood Soup was hearty and comforting. The broth was quite flavourful from the fresh mussels, calamari, fish and prawns. In the back ground was Sopa Catalunya, a clear soup of pork, beef, chicken and butter beans. It tasted like Chinese tonic soup.

The huge Pork Knuckle got us excited when served. The sauce was not enough and we have to ask the waitress for more. Meat was a bit dry.

The iconic dish for any Spanish restaurant would be the Paella. It is sort of a National dish regarded by most originating from Valencia. The Paella at Serenity uses Boomba rice, a short grain varietal. This type of grain is able to absorb the flavours of the ingredients 3 times more than normal rice. Similar to the Chinese claypot rice, Paella is enjoyed with a slight burnt rice at the base of the pan.

We have both the Paella Valenciana (saffron, chicken, Spanish chorizo, tiger prawns, squid, half shell mussels, rice) and Arroz Negro (Squid ink, squid, tiger prawns, capsicum, rice). The nature flavours of the ingredients were well absorbed by the grain infusing the dish with more flavours.The Paellas are prepared freshly to order and it takes 30-45 minutes of preparation time. So remember to order early to avoid a long wait.

If you are craving for some French fare, you can check out this tiny eatery at the corner of Serene Centre. It is a casual eatery where one needs to place their order with the cashier. Water is self service at the counter. Do not expect any service here.

By the time I was there for dinner, it was about 9pm. I was looking forward to try their Duck Confit but most of the food on the menu already sold out. I have to settle for what was still available.

Upon placing the order and making payment, the waiter/waitress will serve the bread and butter.

The Chicken Chop with Spaghetti was nice but a little more sauce would be preferred. The spaghetti was Al Dente. The chicken was tender and moist.

The Salmon was cooked perfectly. Pink inside with a delicious crispy skin. The spinach side and the cream sauce gave the dish a good balance of flavours.

Upon being ushered to my table, I noticed the RamenPlay's special Chilli Paste and Garlic Chips placed on the table side. The waiter/waitress also brought a jar of free flow Stir-fried Chilli Chives. The Chilli Chives did not look appealing so I only took some to try. I have said the taste was very subjective.

I ordered the Yaki Gyoza which was pan fried beautifully. It had a nice outer crisp and was not very oily.

I am always quite sceptical of Ramen restaurants as they always turned out with disappointment. I was surprised that RamenPlay has pretty decent bowl of Ramen. I had the Sanpou Tonkotsu Ramen that comes with braised pork cheek, pork loin in char siew sauce and braised pork belly. The highlight has to be the broth. It is thick, flavourful and delicious. However it left a layer of greasiness on my lips.The Butariki Ishinab is a hot stone bowl served with rice, pork slice, seaweed, an egg in sweet sauce. We allowed the rice to cook a bit longer breaking the egg, mixing and stirring the ingredients in the hot sizzling stone bowl. It gave the rice at the bottome a charred crispy texture.
