There are many Chinese steamboat places in Singapore that originates from China. A famous steamboat chain in China that serves "Ma La Huo Guo" has arrived in Singapore! That is non other than Hai Di Lao that has opened more than 80 branches in all parts of China. As my friend has tried the one Beijing, she was excited and thrilled when she found out that it has opened in Clarke Quay.

Really, what's so unique about Hai Di Lao? It's really the AWESOME SERVICE which I will elaborate throughout the post! Hence, we made our way to Hai do Lao!

All in all, we will definitely be back! We wouldn't mind the queue with such good service while waiting. But, if you're in a hurry, you might want to make reservations probably a week or two in advance! (Half-scale already need a week in advance).

Coffee at the best temperature! Smile Oct 17, 2012

With the recent craze in cafes around the city, it is really hard to find a nice and peaceful cafe where you can chill with a cup of coffee and slice of cake. 93 degrees C is a place to go if you are looking for such a deal. It is located within walking distance to Harbourfront train station and just at the foot of Mount Faber Hill.

If you enjoy drinking black coffee, have a try at their Siphon Coffee! It is not something that is available in every cafe.

What can be better than being in the company of a cup of freshly brewed coffee and your favourite book on a Sunday afternoon? tongue

Not worth the buck  OK Oct 17, 2012

We went to The Tastings Room during Restaurant Week and had their set dinner. The main courses were really not fantastic. The Duck Confit was too salty and the Wagyu Beef Cheeks were disappointing. sad

The Gâteaux au fromage was the best amongst all the 4 courses. The cheesecake was really soft. We love the texture so much! The raspberry sauce by the side complimented the cheesecake well too. smile

The setting of the restaurant is rather casual. The food is not the best you can find. For Restaurant Week's standard, I think it was really quite disappointing. But, look out for their drinks promotion with free flow of truffle fries!

I was there on a Sunday, and there was not much of a crowd.

The sashimi here is pretty good. I really like the swordfish and the salmon sashimi. For sashimi lovers, the price of the buffet is really worth it. Another highlight of the dinner was of course, the Ebi Mentai Mayo. Each person will receive one and it was definitely yummy.

The variety is not bad as well.

I will definitely be here again as I am a hardcore sashimi lover!

Comfort food! Smile Oct 16, 2012

When we arrived there at 6.45p.m, the seats indoors were almost filled. It is quite a small restaurant with limited seating capacity of about less than 50 seats both indoors and outdoors, thus we were lucky to have a table for 2. So, be sure to make reservations if you're going there during meal times to avoid having to wait for a long time.

We had a hard time finishing our main courses due to the big portion! We wanted to try their Tiramisu for dessert, but was too full to do so. The business is run by a family and thus, dining there really feels very homely.

Overall, I feel that Vintage Delicafe serves unpretentious homely comfort food. I will come back to try their other dishes such as their grilled food and their Aglio Olio. When I left, the friendly staff asked me for some feedback, and I said that it was great portions and homely food. He quipped that it is indeed that they serve in huge portions and would be best that I go with a hungry stomach.

For affordable comfort food, I think Vintage Delicafe is worth your try! But, don't forget to make reservations!
