I haven't been to Spageddies is a long time since they moved out of Tanglin Mall, but I've always enjoyed the food here. It was a really packed Saturday night and many of the other restaurants in that area had a really long queue, so we decided to try our luck at Spageddies. When we reached, there were only 1 group of 4 people in front of us (yay!) but since it was only the 2 of us, the staff gave us a seat first (double yay!).

Here's what we feasted on:Primo Combo ($12.50) comes with Calamari, Soft Shell Crab and Mozarella Cheese Sticks with homemade tartar and salsa sauces. I didn't enjoy the soft shell crab much because it had this fishy taste and wasn't as crispy as the ones you get in Japanese restaurants. The Mozarella cheese stick was good, but you can probably only eat 1 or 2 before getting tired of it. The calamari was alright too.

The restaurant was quite lively on a Saturday evening and there were quite a few patrons in large groups as well as couples just hanging out. The staff who served us was also very friendly and he was observant enough to know when we need a re-fill on our water.We also ordered an Oriental Crispy Chicken Salad ($10.50) which comes with Thai sweet chili dressing. The chicken was good and the dressing is definitely a must-try for chili-lovers.As if that wasn't enough food, we just had to add a Braised Lamb Shank ($18.50) to our meal. I felt that this dish was a bit too salty. You can hardly eat it on its own without any starch to wash off the saltiness, so it was a good thing we had the salad.

Overall, I felt that the standard has dropped since they relocated but still not a bad place to hang and pig out on the weekends. Just make sure you have enough people if you want to order the Primo Combo because too much fried stuff can become quite overbearing.

Had dinner here with a friend a few weeks back. I've been to Genki Sushi quite often as I find that their sushi are rather fresh. Unlike the usual Japanese restaurants where your sushi goes round and round the conveyor belt, the sushi here is made-to-serve and arrives fresh on a cute train or race car, straight from the kitchen. Their fried Onsen Egg was rather special too - fried crispy on the outside and the egg is still a little gooey inside.

Nothing beats a nice quite lunch at Shaw Centre - there's usually not that many people in this area unless there is an Isetan members sale going on. It's been a decade since I last ate at Dome, and I recalled how I used to love their pastry and coffees. I was seated by the window and ordered myself a Beef Lasagne ($15.90).
The lasagne was not too heavy and had just the right amount of cheese. Although it get a little too salty, the salad on the side was a lifesaver and balanced out the saltiness nicely.I also ordered myself a Long Macchiato - this is probably one of the few coffee places that still serves long/short coffees. You hardly get that any more these days. The coffee here is just as good as it was 10 years ago, with a deep chocolatey flavour that warms you up.

Rochor Thai is the only Thai restaurant located along the bustling Joo Chiat Road dining enclave, and serves up pretty good authentic Thai food with a modern twist.On my first visit there on a Friday night, I got the chance to try their Amuse Bouche specially prepared by the chef just for us. This dish is a combination of salty, sweet, spicy and sour making it a delightfully refreshing starter.We also ordered a plate of Pad Thai Talay ($14.80 for the large portion) to share. Although the restaurant does not use any MSG in their food, the pad thai was very flavourful. Plus the prawns used were very fresh as well. Overall, great food combined with a relaxed environment and friendly staff make this a restaurant you definitely should try! =D

LeVeL33 as the name implies, sits on the 33rd floor of the Marina Bay Financial Centre. The restaurant has a dedicated lift which brings patrons from the ground floor, directly up to level 33. The view was quite fantastic overlooking the entire area you can even spot Marina Bay Sands in the distance and NTUC building not too far away. Pity that it was rather hazy that day.

The Executive Lunch Set costs $33++ and comes with a free flow buffet salad bar at Ploguhmans Table where you have a wide selection of fresh greens, beans and some cold cuts too. For the mains, I decided to try their Wagyu Striploin Sandwich accompanied by onion marmalade, wholegrain mustard, watercres and fat cut chips on the side. The ketchup was also infused with their in-house brewed Larger!

What's unique about this restaurant is that it houses its very own microbrewery where they conjure up a variety of craft beers, which you can enjoy fresh from the tap. I didn't quite enjoy my lunch that day (since it was a business meeting afterall), but I would definitely love to re-visit this restaurant again with my friends.
