The restaurant was located walking distance from the MRT station. The dine in area was quite huge, modern and simple in look. One was quite surprised to find live seafood display shelves in an Indian restaurant, which was something commonly found in Chinese style Seafood restaurants. Interestingly there was Indian kitchen, as well as, Chinese kitchen in this restaurant. There was a open hot food counter, as well as, a live cooking station which was opened to other to watch. We were served complimentary appadam while waiting for the dishes to be served. We tried on a number of drinks. Badam Milk ($4.00) Milky and not too sweet. Fresh Lime Soda (Sweet) ($3.00) It was like carbonated lemonade. Lassi (Sweet) ($4.00) It tasted like yogurt drink. Fish Head Curry ($26/small, $30/ big) A whole anggoli fish head is semi-stewed in a rich thick orange curry with assorted vegetables such as okra and brinjal, and a generous helping of Indian spices and lemongrass. The final result is aromatic and fragrant with mellowed spiciness. The curry was first cooked in the Indian kitchen before handling over to the Chinese kitchen for touch up before serving. The fish meat was firm and tender, with tender cooked vegetables in the curry. The curry was not heavily spiced as traditional indian curry. Chilli Crab (S$40/ 800 grams) Live Srilankan cooked in sweet and spicy sauce. The dish was pretty similar to the usual chinese seafood restaurant, where the crab was covered with a rich spicy sweet sauce. The crab was pretty fresh and we could see that it was freshly taken from the display shelves. Mutton Biryani ($11.50) Basmati rice cooked with lamb, saffron and aromatic spices Although the piece of mutton was bony, the meat was quite tender, without strong gamey taste. Chicken Biryani ($10.50) Basmati rice cooked with chicken and selected spices The meat was tender and rich. Pepper Mutton (SGD $8) Sakuntalas Speciality The meat was pretty tender with texture similar to pulled pork. It was covered with a rich spicy paste which made it a must have with rice. Butter Chicken ($9.00) Boneless chicken pieces in a creamy tomatoes butter gravy It was rich and creamy with tender pieces of meat in it. Tandoori Platter (Non-Veg) ($25.00) A combination of chicken, fish & prawn and slices of bread. It consisted of the following : Plain Naan (a la carte $3.00) White flour Indian bread baked in clay oven Kashmiri Naan (a la carte $4.20) Indian bread stuffed with dried fruits, nuts and baked in tandoor Tandoori Jhinga (a la carte $18.00) Fresh prawn marinated and grilled in the tandoor oven Fish Tikka (a la carte $14.00) Cubes of fish marinated with exoctic spices, grilled in tandoor oven Chicken Tikka (a la carte $14.00) Boneless chicken nuggets, marinated in tandoori masala & yogurt, grilled in the tandoor oven ChickenChicken Malai Kebab (a la carte $14.00) Chicken marinated with cream and grilled in the clay oven Fish Malai Kebab (a la carte $14.00) Tender and creamy clay oven baked fish cubes The grilled meat was tender and flavourful, while the bread was soft and fluffy. Meals ($4.50) White rice served with two vegetables, chicken gravy, rasam and buttermilk It was served with fluffy white rice, vegetable dishes, and gravy, making it a simple and tasty meal. Biryani Rice ($3.00) Basmati rice cooked with saffron and aromatic spices The rice was fragrant and light. Don't forget to help yourself with some of the mouth refresher at the cashier, on the way out.

Bird Bird moved to the east a couple of months back and I chanced upon it while dropping by Cedele (a few doors down) one afternoon a few months back. I was hooked and made it a point to visit shortly after. Just for the record, I have been there quite a few times for lunch/brunch ever since. The Place Bird Bird occupies a corner unit along Frankel Avenue and parking is limited to the private estate behind (however you are free to park anywhere you like as long as you are able to evade the rather frequent patrols by the traffic wardens). The interior is kept simple with cement screed floors and wooden tables. Cornbread Waffles At $3 a piece, the cornbread waffles were relatively pricey. But by golly, they were worth it. Mildly sweet with a rather significant corn taste and served with smoked maple syrup. Definitely my kind of carbs. Just watch out - they get cold and limp rather fast so eat them while they are hot/warm. Black Truffle Mac & Cheese This was delicious; Al dente macaroni coupled with a light fragrance from the black truffle bits and a not too creamily rich sauce nursing a tinge of zest to keep nausea at bay. Topped with shavings of cheese and croutons for an extra crisp. Brown Sugar Bacon Chop I loved this as well. The thick cut bacon chop was seared and coated with a thin, brittle layer of caramalised sugar; sweet with salty undertones. A little different from the renditions of both Peter Luger and Clinton Street Baking, which do without the evident layer of sugar but equally delicious. Signature Fried Chicken Our order of half chicken consisted of 5 pcs from wing to breast. It looked absolutely mouth watering but unfortunately I found the seasoning a little underwhelming and not thorough enough. The meat was tender, juicy and moist but the skin was a little bland and lacked the oomph I was hoping for (in this respect, Southern Bird @ Marina Bay Sands does a better job). The signature gravy tasted like runny mashed potato gravy. Maybe the other chickens taste better? Durian Softie Pie An absolute crowd pleaser, the toasted milk softie had a light browned taste to it without coming across as too sweet. Topped with a generous scoop of durian pudding, white chocolate, sitting on an almond crust base and drizzled with gula melaka caramel for an added sweetness. Delicious and definitely a great way to end off the meal. Bill Brunch cost the 2 of us ~ $81, which isn't exactly cheap but I think it's worth the price for the above average quality of food in general. Service is decent but just be aware that the ventilation isn't great so you will walk out of the place smelling like your meal. Weekday lunch sets offer a much better value proposition so it would make better sense to go during lunch (you can even top up $5++ for a durian softie!) Truffled Housemade Curly Fries ps: The truffled housemade curly fries are really addictive; thin and crispy without all the oil (definitely a misperception). Final Verdict: Ambience: 6.5/10 (can get a little noisy and ventilation isn't great) Service: 7/10 Food: 7.5/10 (8/10 for the durian softie) Value for money: 7/10 Overall: 7/10 Address: 97 Frankel Avenue Contact: 6694 8270 Opening Hours: Tuesdays - Sundays 11.00am - 11.00pm | Last orders at 9.45pm Closed Mondays Website: https://www.facebook.com/birdbirdsg/

"Will not introduce to friend. Will not recommend. Will not go again"

"The food is nice. However, it's overpriced. On top of that, the one who took our order, a middle size man wearing glasses, was very impolite and demanding. He does not exhibit bit of customer services quality. Even when we are ready to order, and call him for suggestion and simple query, he gave us unpleasant remark. Would have walked away if it wasn't a friend who crave for Korean food that night. His attitude spoilt the whole celebration mood we have, and it's definitely a very unpleasant experience."

Was browsing along MBS area and search for this place as heard review was good especially pizza. The place is easy to find and along a Long walkway. It was filled with a lot of customers from foreigners and less locals. The menu is difficult for me and ordered their signature pizza. The name is dame long “ Bacon , salame, fennel , sausage, pancetta, tomatoes and Mozzarella pizza. It accompany with a special biscuit as appetiter. We need to wait for about 20mins and surrounding decoration is very Italian style too. I enjoy the view with 2 big funnel for their preparation of pizza. Finally the pizza was served. First sight of their crushed and very thin skin. It is so delicious from the look and toppling with some grinded pork meat , sausage and mozzarella. The taste is dame good as fresh for its smell already. I think it about 10-12 inch. The skin is crippy and really hand made fire under charcoal in furnace. Roughly for 2 pax but if you are a hungry eater , then a pasta will make is perfect. Will come back for its pizza.

去過澳門的大利來下下5次，卻不知道大利來在新加坡已開了兩間分店。需然剛吃完午餐，還是忍不住去吃個下午茶，豬扒包比菠蘿豬扒包好吃，豬扒乾了一點，包也不像豬仔包，但整體仍覺好食。

We came this stall on a rainy day at Chong pang city ,  we ordered bak kut teh ($5), pig trotter ($5) and pig organ soup ($4.50) and two bowls of rice. 2 person only spent $16.50. A pleasant chewy bite from the little bit of fat in the pork rib. The soup was not very peppery and fragrant, and the meat was tender. The soup sent a wake up call to the senses, maybe more like an annoying alarm as the unlimited! And refilling of soup can be served. The turnaround was the bowl of braised pork trotters that should never be missed from your table. The wobbly collagenic skin had just the right amount of fat for flavour, so your arteries are safe from being clogged. The soft tender meat was soaked thoroughly in the dark soy sauce, the savoury and sweet profiles made this a mouthwatering dish. Sip on the tie guan yin between bites, the nectarous oolong cleanses the palate, and also serves as a comfortable sweet end note to a rousing meal. The pig organ soup here is not exactly same as Malaysia (where it's basically pepper soup), could use more pepper. This bowl is terrible savoury  and has liver, stomach, meat ball, and belly meat. So if you're in the area and need comfort food, give this a try! It's very tasty . I like it

Made a lunch reservation in advance, like the ambience despite seeing quite a few negative reviews on the internet (just google). Reached the place on time however was told the chef will be late for 10 minutes. awhile later was told will be late for 45 minutes but a replacement chef is on the way!!!! How can this be??. If the chef is irresponsible i am sure the food is likewise. Never bring any important guests to this restaurant. By far this is the worst restaurant in MBS and probably in Singapore.

Located at Pomo, and occupying units on the first and second floor is Montana. Famed for their freak cakes, and creative savoury and dessert waffles. This cafe has been intriguing my tastebuds since 2014! Check out their newly revamped menu, new items such as Truffle Eggs Rosti $19++, Signature mac & cheese waffle $15++ or Rosso $13++ a dessert made with chocolate brownie and irish whisky sauce are bound to make you curious! Fried Chicken Wings with Garlic Mirin Sauce $12++
Fried crispy chicken drumlets and wings with a sweetness on the outside. Reminds me of a certain cafe up in Kovan that serves up really legendary honey parika wings.

Truffle Eggs Rosti $19++
Are you a truffle fan? Okay if your not that's fine too cause the truffle in this dish is rather subtle. I love my rosti from Marche so that's my standard for rosti, however the rosti here is very different. If you like crispy, rather than soggy McDonald fries, this is for you! Not to mention, 2 beautifully poached eggs with hollandaise sauce, served with parma ham. Signature mac & cheese waffle $15++ I'm personally a huge fan of mac and cheese, after spending 5 years in the United States. Also, having been a faithful fan of Montana's signature Mac N Cheese back in the day when they occupied just the first floor. I was shocked to see huge improvement! Glorious mozzarella generous melted over the waffle with truffle oil, real macaroni and cheese embedded in the waffle batter and apparently jalapeno. The jalapeno isn't too spicy, and I'm non-spicy eater. Like I can't even tahan McDonald's chilli sauce, but the tinge of spiciness here was pleasantly savoury. Good job Montana! Baked Salmon with Poached Egg $18++
The salmon was pretty good and I found myself digging for the shoyu mushrooms and herbed cous-cous to eat together with the salmon. I love this combination of ingredients. The yuzu hollandaise from the poached egg also gave the salmon fillet some flavour. Rosso $13++
This is an alcoholic dessert that is meant for adults. The vanilla ice cream tasted generic but the chocolate brownie was sweet with a tad of bitterness from the dense chocolate flavour. The sourness from the macerated berries was a good balance for the sweet brownie. What blew my mind was the irish wisky sauce that literally brought this dessert to a whole new level! Bianco $13++
While glancing through the menu, this dessert caught our attention. Horlicks cheesecake is what the menu read! No joke, the cheesecake base tasted of horlicks. The passionfruit mousse tasted authentically sour with a natural passionfruit aroma. This would be a nice dessert to go with coffee or if you're game for it, ask the staff for a wine-pairing recommendation. V60 Chocolate (Original Mint or Smoky Infusion) $6.80++
The first of it's kind in Singapore, Cacao brew made with cacao nibs brewed in coconut water to give you a light, refreshing beverage that looks like tea. Honestly speaking, I could taste the "tea" but no "chocolate" flavour. Maybe my tongue is to trained to pick up artificial flavours that I can't determine the authentic flavour? 8. Cold Crab Truffle Pasta $21++
I've never had a good experience with cold angelhair pasta, the noodles are usually always too cold or too soft for my liking. But Montana got in on-point for my tastebuds! Flavourful, al-dente angel hair pasta with crunchy tobiko and chunks of crab meat. Definitely a refreshingly and yet savoury meal, for any time of the day. You will not feel "jerlat" or bloated from this pasta dish!

Overall : Montana continually tries to improve their menu year after year and they always come up with enterprising new idea to arouse your tastebuds. But there's still some R&D to continue their standard of food.  *PS never forget to try their cold brew coffee!~

Dropped by Orchard Central for lunch break. Went into this place at corner of lift lane. Look quiet at lunch. We started to ordered at counter before serving. Tom yam pasta and fish & chips. The wait for not long actually before serving our drinks. Was having a promotion for pasta. Tom Yam seafood pasta. - $10.00 The gravy was thick and toppling with one big clam and 4 prawns. One bite on those prawns could not really feel the freshness maybe because of gravy favours covered it. The pasta was normal and a little spicy will be better. Fish &chips. -$10.00 This fish is fresh but not the best I have eaten so far. The dish served with mesh potatoes and onion rings. The bite is not that well mixture on this plate causing my appetite drops too. The onion rings is oil and tasteless compared to other onion rings I have ate. Overall price is average.

Long Jiang Chinos Situated in the heart of the north, Long Jiang Chinos lies within the quaint and serene ORTO in Yishun, formally Bottle Tree Park. Situated right beside the pond, Long Jiang Chinos brings exquisite and hearty seafood dishes in the surroundings of lush greenery.

Established in 2014, the restaurant is an establishment by Long Jiang Culinary, which has years of experience in the culinary industry.

As it is currently mid-autumn seasion, do check out their mooncakes available for sale in Takashimaya, NEX, Tampines Mall, Vivocity, Lot1 and Junction 8. Or just head down to Long Jiang Chinos at ORTO to enjoy some delightful Chinese cuisine with your mooncakes! This classic and timeless Teochew traditional mooncake is extremely crispy on the edges with melt in your mouth textured yam paste. These are some of the biggest Teochew mooncakes I’ve ever seen! The single yolk version gives the sweet yam a good mix of pleasure and premium taste. All these “orh nee” yam paste mooncakes are low in sugar. So you can savour without the fear of overdosing on calories from sugar.
When visiting Long Jiang Chinos, be sure not to miss out on its most heart warming dish – Seafood Hotpot ($128). Curated specially by the chef with observance to the different preferences of a family, this dish was born to suit the likings of all ages within a family. Since then, the high raved Seafood Hotpot has since become a signature dish of the restaurant.

Using only premium selection of fish, whole Soon Hock is simmered slowly under a bed of cabbage, ensuring that the fish will not be overcooked while you savour the soupy goodness of the hotpot. Consisting of an assortment of live prawns, clams and squid, these catch of the seas come together to make the ultimate hearty Seafood Hotpot. The chicken broth was so flavourful and really addictive and the broth is refillable! So don’t be afraid to drink up as much as you like! Long Jiang Chino’s Cheesy Crab Bee Hoon with Crab Roe ($44.80) is rich, yet not overpowering on the senses. Bee hoon is first specially prepared by the chefs. A homemade stock is reduced and slices of cheese are added. Speak about infusing oriental cuisine with the west! The dish is completed with two whole Indian mud crabs atop. Overturn the shell of the crab and generous, crab roe is unravelled.   Start your meal right with these crispy and delicious Har Chou! Filled with generous ingredients and really freshly fried!
One interesting thing to note about this dish here is, unlike most eateries that serve the fried fish skin with a salted egg sauce, that turns the skin soggy after awhile. At Long Jiang Chinos, they use real salted egg but fried up!

Tried 2 items over 2 visits. 
Tried the fried fish lor mee. The noodles were springy, gravy a good consistency with hints of light spice. Lovely with the vinegar and fresh garlic. Toppings were fresh and tasty. Finished every bit of it. 
Prawn noodles (soup) was below average. The yellow noodles had just a tad of the typical alkaline taste - i.e. great.  The soup tasted like it was heavily flavoured with MSG, and did not have the taste like it had prawns simmering in the soup. The worst were the prawns. They were limp and very soft. Doesn't seem fresh. Quite disappointed with this order. 

We had been meaning to drop by Riders Cafe for the longest time but somehow never managed to get to it until one overcast Saturday morning when we decided to go off the beaten track. The Place Located at the Bukit Timah Saddle Club in a charming colonial style building, Riders Cafe boasts great ventilation and views of a field and horses (sometimes - not to mention the smells too). Which is great if the weather is cooling (not too common in Singapore though) and you enjoy dining alfresco. The place is a constant buzz so reservations are advisable (I witnessed a few people being turned away without one). Fried Chicken BLT The chicken patty was well marinated with spices and came across as mildly sweet but not too dry. Topped with coleslaw, rather weak kimchi mayonnaise and sandwiched between two rather insipid buns. Still palatable though. Riders Burger I opted for the works; added mushrooms, bacon rashers and an egg. The Angus beef patty had bits of fat in it which made for a nice chewy texture. However the bovine flavours were a little muted and the bacon, a little limp. I liked the smooth creaminess the egg yolk provided though; a sort of gooey glue that brought everything together. Buns needed more butter and time on the grill in my humble opinion. Decent burger overall but no great shakes. Death By Chocolate Cake This was very sinful and oh so good (I'm definitely biased). A luscious slice of moist chocolate cake slathered with mildly viscous chocolate sauce and served with a scoop of ice cream. Watch out for the sweetness overload though. Salted Caramel Brioche Salted caramel brioche topped with a scoop of vanilla (not vanilla bean) ice cream and honeycomb. I liked the flavours; salty yet sweet. Unfortunately the brioche was rather inconsistent in texture - some were crisp while others came across as limp and stodgy. A bigger scoop of ice cream would also have been appreciated as towards the end, the brioche got a little too salty and there was no ice cream left to "dilute" it. Still a decent dessert nonetheless. Bill Our bill came up to ~$74 for 2 burgers and 2 desserts which isn't too expensive but food quality in general hovered a notch above average at best and service, though proficient enough, didn't seem quite friendly. The place is nice but given Singapore's humid weather most of the time, ambience alone isn't a big enough draw for me to return. Final Verdict: Ambience: 7/10 Service: 6.5/10 Food: 6.5/10 Value for money: 6/10 Overall: 6.5/10 Address: 51 Fairways Drive Contact: 6466 9819 Opening Hours: Sunday – Thursday 8am – 9pm Friday & Saturday 8am - 10pm Closed on Monday Website: http://www.riderscafe.sg/

We found out this cafe nearby our hotel, quite full but we still want to try Flat White We can say the coffee here really good, smooth, smell good, not so bitter French toast with mango purée Nice also, the mango a bit sour maybe not in season, but for me they ate quite match with the ice cream and the toast The service here are nice and helpful ~

We arrived Pollen at 4:30pm, but no more food provided, only drinks and a little bit cakes to choose, even the waitress told us we can order some sandwiches or some hot food, only the Pollen Tea Set can't order, but when we went upstairs the order waitress told us only drinks and cakes. Don't really understand what is the meaning of ALL DAY menu........ We order Banana Cake, nice, not so sweet The Lemon Cheesecake also good but we can't taste the lemon The Drinks here cocktail are nice also, I order Pollen (signature drink) a bit sour Honestly the service here is so far so good
