Greenwood Fish Bistro gave me an initial 'atas' impression because of where it's situated at, as well as the initial sight of westerners lounging around the area, chit-chatting with booze in hand.

My friend and I entered this small hidden eatery to find ourselves warmly welcomed by a very quiet, comfortable and laid back ambience.

We sat down and already enjoying the atmosphere. It's the sort of place you could sit at for hours just talking, let alone the eating.

We ordered the deep fried calamari ($10.95) as our starters. It is on the pricey range - I must admit. But i figured that it's relatively okay for a place with such an 'atas' feel, especially in a neighborhood where I believe many expats live.

My friend and I each ordered from the list of Premium Fish ($26.95 each).

The fish was oh-so-tender and very flavorful. Most probably the reason why it's a fish bistro in the first place. So if you ever decide to eat here, the fish is a must!

Stopped by to check Joaquim out with a friend and we decided to drop in for lunch since the buffet prices were reasonable and the spread seemed really good.

The restaurant is located at the ground floor of the convention centre in Suntec City. It basically an open area, which can make it quite uncomfortable at times when people walk by and look at you eat.

The service there is also much to be desired. The staff aren''t very friendly and they seem unwilling to serve. Well then again, at that price, what more can I expect?

Food wise, the spread is good and quite typical of teochew porridge, with the usual dishes, and generally quite well-prepared.

While in search online for a place to celebrate my brother's birthday, I came across Hokkaido Japanese Restaurant.

Located all the way at Turf City, we knew it was very far compared to where we lived at Changi but we thought of giving it a try.

At only $33.90++ per person with a menu spread like that, it seemed pretty worth it.

The restaurant was extremely crowded, but the lady boss was very hospitable and she kept apologizing for the long waits. But I must say, the waits for the food to come were really long and it made it quite frustrating for us.

From observation, there were actually a few large tables with customers who frequent the restaurant. They were so at home, making small talk with the lady boss.

And of course, it wasn't surprising because the food there was really good in fact.

If not for the inconvenience of the location and the poor crowd management, I believe they'll do much better.

Seafood Extravaganza  Smile May 20, 2012

Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Hotel | Buffet

My boyfriend and I wanted to try out a different buffet and after some searching online, we came across a reasonably priced Spice Brasserie.

We visited the restaurant on a weekday night and it was quite empty except for three occupied tables. I guess that the 'lack' of customers around also resulted in a more laid back service experience.

The one thing different about this buffet is the offer of free flow beer without any extra cost. But we didn't want to fill up on beer, only on food. tongue

They had an average spread, in my opinion. Nothing too fancy.

There was cold food like crab, shrimp and shellfish. They also had a cooked seafood section, where they will prepare the food as you order. Some of the dishes here were the grilled stingray, seafood tom yam, chilli crab, squid and crayfish.

Other food they have included seafood tempura, fried chicken wings,etc.

I wouldn't say the buffet was bad, not at all in fact. But I do believe the dining ambience made the dinner feel very tiring and boring.

Al Fresco Italian Dining Smile May 20, 2012

Categories : Italian | Hotel | Pasta | Pizza

Visted La Cantina to celebrate a friend's birthday. We made a reservation and requested to dine alfresco style by having a table outside.

Because the restaurant is located just by the Changi beach, the breeze there is awesome in the evening. So if you're ever planning to eat there, remember to reserve a table at the balcony.

We sat down, enjoyed the breeze, chit-chatted and made our order. Here's what we ordered:

Vongole Spaghetti: Pasta with Clams cooked in Garlic and White Wine Sauce
Linguine Al Granchio: Crabmeat linguine in creamed tomato sauce
Prosciutto Funghi: Pomodoro, mozzarella, ham & mushroom
Pescatora: Shrimp, clam, squid & scallop in tomato sauce

The pasta here is not only very good, but also reasonably priced for a restaurant in a hotel.
Here's the link to the menu: http://www.cantinafoodwine.com/Restaurants/menu-Changi.pdf

I would personally recommend the vongole spaghetti and the linguine al granchio. In fact, just talking about it is making me crave for them right now! tongue
