We had our family lunch at Astons Resorts World Sentosa, which is located not far from USS. I love how Astons Specialities' restaurants look 'atas', I'm sure first-timers will get surprised that the food comes at such humble prices.Iced Lemon Tea - $2.30I had finished 3/4 of this drink even before my meal was served, so I ordered another glass.Snapple - $3You should know how it tastes like I guess...Cream of Mushroom - $3.50Ala carte price is $3.50, but if your order spaghetti, soup of the day is included (on every visit, coincidentally (?) it has always been cream of mushroom). Bf dislikes mushroom, so this cup of soup went to me haha.Salmon Spaghetti - $9.90It was Dad's order, didn't manage to try. But I managed to capture the pic before he ate it lol.Spicy Chicken Spaghetti - $8.90Think they should change the name, since it's not spicy at all *confession of a non-spicy food eater*.Chargrill Chicken - $9.90with mac n cheese & french friesIntroducing my most favorite menu at Astons Specialities! The chicken was grilled to perfection with nice smokey aroma and delicious mushroom sauce. Their mac n cheese is also to die for, having this as side dish has now been a must. The fries, however, was nothing extraordinary.Hickory BBQ Chicken - $9.90with mac n cheese & french friesIt's almost the same with chargrilled one, but somehow the chicken was drier. Hence the name, in this dish the mushroom sauce is substituted with BBQ sauce which was too tangy in my opinion.Lemon Lime Chicken - $9.90with mac n cheese & onion ringsAgain, the chicken was quite identical to two menus mentioned above, with an addition of zesty lemon lime sauce. Hey, their onion rings was not bad!Crispy Fried Chicken - $9.90with tasty rice and french friesMom is predictable, she picked the safest option haha. The chicken, which was served with mayonnaise, was a little oily, but the size was hugeass (that's why it came with ellips instead of round plate)! I didn't try the rice, but I guessed it would taste like chicken rice.Overall, we had a nice meal at Astons. Really grateful for the chance to have meal together with my family in Singapore, before they came back to Indonesia and I have to live apart from them just like the usual days.For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

I was kinda craving for fish & chips that, so we chose Manhattan Fish Market for lunch. Moreover, I've never tried their fish & chips before (wanted to compare to Fish & Co also muahaha).Iced Water - $0.50It was lemon water, which I'm not a fan of ewhhh...Gummy Bear - $5.50It's a drink made of Curacao and tropical fruit mix. I recall it tasted like handsoap and it made me appreciate my lemon water more haha.Creamy Mushroom Penne - $13.95sauteed fresh button mushrooms coated with creamy sauce and topped with parmesan cheeseDidn't really like this as it was too creamy.Feeesh 'n Cheese - $12.95hand-battered dory fillets drizzled with garlic herb sauce, complemented with cheesy chips and side saladUpon the first slice of the fish, I got the first impression that MFM's fish was slightly less oily than Fish & Co. Instead of giving one long fillet of fish, they gave us 2 medium-sized ones, and that made the portion looked bigger than Fish & Co's (I'm not sure either it's a eyetrick or real haha). The meat was soft and well-marinated. The fries was covered abundantly with cheese sauce. Holy molly, look at that fatty cheese sauce! My only gripe was that the garlic sauce on top of the fish more looked like it's spilled rather than poured. They need to be more generous on pouring the garlic sauce coz it's seriously yummy!Grilled Glory Dory (regular) - $12.95grilled dory fillet with garlic herb rice and veggiesBf complained that the rice was served cold. It was indeed a bit cold when I tried, but it tasted pretty good with a distinct hint of herb. The fish wasn't so much different from mine, just that it was grilled while mine was deep-fried. I noticed that even regular portion wasn't big enough (definitely not enough for a guy's tummy).Overall, I was satisfied with the dish and not so much on the drink. Tbh, MFM's fish & chips is more value for money compared to Fish & Co, these two brands are quite identical in taste and quality (I don't get why people say MFM's fish & chips sucks). However, I must say that Fish & Co excels more in variety (they have fish & chips with various flavors from around the world like Singapore, Japan, Italy, etc.), while MFM only has classic fish & chips with choice of original or cheese fries. But after all, it comes to personal preference. Both MFM and Fish & Co have their own loyal customers and promotional strategies to win over public attention.For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

We were going around Central, when suddenly we spotted Watami, a restaurant with quite long queue. We assume this restaurant should be good, so we joined the line for our dinner.Iced Milk Tea - $2.30I know it sounds peculiar for ordering milk tea in a Japanese restaurant. Indeed, my milk tea wasn't very satisfying, it was a bit diluted.Ishiyaki Beef Pepper Rice - $9.80This dish is similar to Pepper Lunch's Beef Pepper Rice. It seemed like they put more beef slices as compared to Pepper Rice (hence the higher price). The stone pot was super hot that it caused the rice to be charred easily when I stopped stirring.Watami Tonkotsu Ramen - $14.80ramen in special pork bone soup with pork slicesThe pork bone soup was so delicate. The onsen tamago still had a bit of runny texture, I prefer this version to Ajisen Ramen's solid one. The chashu could have been bigger though hehe.Salmon & Avocado Roll Sushi - $13.80I never am a fan of raw salmon. This was my friend's order. I only tried one piece and didn't want anymore. Raw salmon is just bleurgh... For me it tastes like papaya in a much worse way.Maccha Ice Cream - $3.60Not really a fan of Watami's maccha ice cream coz it had a rather icy texture (not soft).Overall, it was a good dinner. Service was quite slow and it's hard to grab the staffs' attention. Oh ya, it has a wonderful night view facing the river, if you're lucky enough to get a seat next to the glass window.For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

Woohoo, exam weeks have ended! To entertain myself after struggling with 4 business-related subjects (what a great excuse!), I went for a Wednesday brunch. Chose November 8 since it's located quite close to campus, within a short bus ride away.November 8 is hidden inside Thomson V Two building. There's no visible entrance from outside, the entrance can be located from L1 arcade. I noticed recently they has changed their off-day from Wednesdays to Tuesdays (lucky me, I've never browsed about their operation hours before). The atmosphere was laid-back, to my surprise the space was quite ample, compared to usual cafes that are crampy. I like the decor, it looks artsy with rattan rocking horse, colorful fixie bike, a guitar hanging on a shelf, and coffee bean sacks.Cranberry Juice - $4It's just Snapple poured in a glass, note it down! I guess you can't expect freshly squeezed juice for such price, is it? Bf ordered 2 glasses coz he had finished the first one even before the food came.Cappuccino - $4.50They use Dutch Colony coffee beans for their coffee. My cappuccino came with a decent latte art. A bit too acidic for me, it became more robust as it got colder.Waffle Breakfast - $15.50signature waffles with gourmet pork sausage, bacon and scrambled eggs, served with maple syrupA lot reviews say that waffle is November 8's strength, but somehow I couldn't prove it. The waffle was tough, hard to cut, served cold and lacked of fragrant scent. Nevertheless, I love their scrambled eggs, the texture was creamy and a bit runny, but it would be better if it's not that bland. The crispy bacon was another plus point. The pork sausage was big-sized and flavorful, except that it's a tad too dense for my liking.Potato Rosti - $16.50pan-seared freshly shredded potato, served with scrambled eggs, gourmet pork sausage and baconBf said the rosti tasted rather weird, but for me nothing wrong with it, Slightly oily but it had a nice texture and seasoning.Excuse that Nokia phone hahaOverall, our brunch was quite enjoyable, but unfortunately I had to left 2 pieces of my waffle unfinished, since I was too full and the waffle wasn't really toothsome. If it was, I probably would fight to finish it no matter how full I was! Another rant, we had to wait so long for our food! I reckon it's above 25 minutes. Even though breakfast menus usually have a lot of elements, I still don't think they will require that long to serve. Is this cafe worth another visit? Yea, probably.For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

I first came across this Indonesian noodle place when I was still staying in Novena, and I grew loving it! The place isn't spacious, but they serve great food at a reasonable nett price! The cashier auntie (whom my friend said was a Medanese) was friendly as well. As there's no service charge here, you need to collect your order once it's ready (your receipt number will be displayed on an electronic display panel).Teh Botol Sosrososro bottled teaIt's served in a glass instead haha. Quite costly here, but enough to cure my craving for teh botol.Mee Ayam - $5.50chicken noodleThere's not just chicken inside, but also mushrooms. The noodle was springy, but I think the portion wasn't really filling.Mee Bakso - $5.50beef meatball noodle soupSuper love their beef meatballs! It's juicy, meaty (not floury) and had a nice seasoning. The soup was also warming and savory.My favorite Kecap Bango (soy sauce) <3On every table, there are some varieties of condiments varying from soy sauce, nutty chili, green chili, to vinegar. They provide some suggestion of condiment concoctions that suit a particular type of noodle, but feel free to create your own!For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

Bf brought me to a place where he said he had a very good mee soto there. When I heard mee soto, I thought the place sold Malay food. Then he added that the place's called Jtown. Straight away what popped inside my head was that 'J' should be related to Japan. But wait, Japanese restaurant serving mee soto? Sounds legit. But I was completely wrong when I knew that Jtown was an Indonesian restaurant, and 'J' actually referred to Jakarta!Jtown sells Jakarta street food like mie ayam (chicken noodle), mie bakso (beef meatball noodle), gado-gado, and martabak manis (sweet Indonesian pancake). The menu is not really extensive, but the price is reasonable.Bakmie Ayam - $5chicken noodleI opted for a simple bowl of bakmie ayam. According to them, the noodle is handmade and freshly made everyday. Unfortunately, the seasoning didn't really suit my tastebuds.Mee Goreng - $5.30fried noodleBf ordered mee goreng, which I thought they would use Indomie at first but no haha. Beside chicken, they also put mushroom and half boiled egg. Of course I helped him eating the mushroom lol.Martabak Campur (large) - $6.20indonesian pancake with mixed topping of chocolate and cheeseWe call this 'martabak manis' or 'terang bulan'. Bf had tried this on his previous visit and loved it. Beside chocolate and cheese, other toppings available are Ovomaltine and D24 durian (eww). The large size is actually equal to small size in Indonesian street food context haha.Overall, I recommend this to fellow Indonesians in Singapore who are craving for Indonesian street food, especially martabak manis!For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

Was at Bugis Junction and wanted to have lunch, but kinda bored with the dining options there. Spotted a restaurant called LeNu, which offers Taiwan-style noodle. LeNu literally means 'happy cow' in Chinese haha. There's no service charge and GST here, so upon arrival, we will be given an order sheet, and we're required to give it to the cashier and make payment at the counter. Your order will be served to your table then.Braised Beef Shank Noodle - $8.90I had my meal come with thin noodle in authentic braised beef soup. The soup had a fragrant herbs scent. According to what's written in the menu, the beef used has been bruised for at least 3 hours, which results in the tenderness of it. Beef shank might not be a popular type of beef meat, since it somewhat had a tough texture, but LeNu's beef shank was meaty and tender. The noodle was just okay with the right springiness.Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Now I know where to have authentic Taiwanese noodle. Obviously will return soon.For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

It's weird that I seldom eat Texas Chicken in Indonesia (despite there are many outlets around) yet in Singapore, I began to crave for it when there are not many outlets available. The nearest Texas Chicken to my place is probably the Nex outlet, which still requires me to take bus/MRT *told ya I'm a lazy bum*. Recently, I visited their outlet at VivoCity before going to Sentosa.2 pcs Chicken Meal - $7.80with biscuit, regular side dish and regular drinkI had my usual spicy chicken with mashed potato and coke. For me, Texas' spicy chicken had spicier kick compared to KFC. Taste and quality wise, KFC slightly wins over Texas. I'm not really fond of Texas' honey butter biscuit, coz I think it gets too sweet. Popeyes' biscuit is way better. As for the mashed potato, I will put it as a runner up, while Popeye being the winner and KFC being the third. Texas' mashed potato gravy is too peppery and it doesn't have chicken bits like Popeyes'. Again, it's all personal preferences."Since when fast food became expensive?", that was my first impression upon migrating to Singapore. $7.80 for a fast food meal is quite a pocket ripoff (especially compared to Indonesian fast food chains where you can have similar menu at just approximately $4).For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

Gelateria Italia has so many branches all over the little island of Singapore. Your eyes will be pampered with the colorful sight of gelato displayed, and your tastebud will be spoiled with various flavors available.Ordered one round of waffle with three scoops of gelato: Ferrero Rocher, Bailey's Irish cream, and hazelnut. The waffle is drizzled with chocolate sauce and sprinkled with chopped nuts. The texture was rather soggy, it was a letdown. The gelato, on the bright side, was creamy and thick. If I had to choose my favorite flavor, it would be Ferrero Rocher. The chocolatey taste is heavy, but not cloyingly sweet. The liquor content in the Bailey's flavor was quite strong, but still tolerable. The hazelnut flavor, meanwhile, was just passable.For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

Doesn't the name of the restaurant remind you of Paddington Bear? In fact, this pancake house offers over 100 names of menu, crazy enough? Upon opening the menu book, brace yourself to have a hard time deciding what to order, because you'll get spoiled by their varieties of menu! We wondered how could the chefs master so many recipes?!Cheesy Wedges & Fries - $8We shared this bowl as starter. Firstly I thought those things above the fries were spam chips, but then I realized this restaurant was halal, and those things turned out to be crispy chicken bacon bits. The potatoes were fried properly, they're not oily, and the cheese sauce was superrrrr nice! Ooomphhh!Nice - $16crepes with grilled chicken mozzarella, chicken bacon, mushroom, prawns, pineapple, creamy mushroom sauceThis savory crepes tasted just exactly like its name.Pot of Gold - $10dollar pancakes with nuts, marshmallows, chocolate sauce and chocolate ice creamThese dollar pancakes may look tiny in size, but they gave me a heap! Seriously you gotta share this bowl, don't try eating one by yourself (like me, and I regret having it by myself). The pancake was fluffy and buttery, tasted really good when I mixed it together with marshmallows, chocolate sauce and ice cream. However, I couldn't finish this coz the pancakes given were too many. Imagine munching roughly 25 pieces of pancake!If you're a fan of pancake, come to Paddington House of Pancakes. Once is never enough, you will need probably two or more visits to savor their wide selections of pancake!…ดูเพิ่มเติม

Went to Prive Cafe at Keppel Bay with bf to celebrate our 7th monthsary. The place looked quite packed when we came (since it's Friday night), but thankfully there's no need to wait to get seated. We chose to sit at outdoor non-smoking area and got perfect seat overlooking the dock. We came at around 6.30pm, so we could catch the sunset while enjoying our dinner.Plain water is complimentary (cold water by default) and they promptly refilled our glassesRaspberry & Banana Smoothie - $9The smell was 100% banana but the taste was 90% raspberry haha. It was a nice and refreshing combination. Anyway, don't you think it's too much to pay $9 for a glass of smoothie?Spicy Meat Lover Pizza (10-inch) - $20chorizo, salami, chili, tomato, mozzarellaIt's written on the menu that pizzas would require 15-20 minutes of preparation time. After 15 minutes, a staff with rather weird and influent English (guessing she's Korean) came and told us that the chef had accidentally spilled our pizza (wth? hahaha) so she requested us to let them make a new one within an extra 15 minutes. After this incident, we joked around that we wouldn't forgive them if they spilled the rest of our orders later. The pizza was the thin and crispy type, it was decent but not the best pizza I've eaten. The amount of meat could be more generous.The Ultimate Fish & Chips - $22beer-battered dory served with fries, tartar sauce, malt vinegarThe portion was humongous for me! Even though I came here with empty stomach, I still needed bf's help to finish those 2 giant fillets of fish. I don't really like thick-cut fries as they're usually tasteless, but this one was an exception coz it was well-seasoned and crispy.Red Velvet Cake - $7By the time we requested the cake to be served, it was already dark and I needed to use flash to take the pic. Different from typical red velvet that I know, Prive's version only has cream cheese frosting on the very top layer, and the rest they just use chocolate cream. It tasted more like normal chocolate cake to me, kinda dissapointed! It was also my first time trying red velvet cake with shredded coconut topping, and my verdict was I didn't really fancy this version.This pic is different from the very first one. This was taken just a few minutes before it's all dark.Overall, this is a place you gotta visit even for once! Come here for the food and the view! The view is just superb, I can forever sit there, relax and enjoy the serene atmosphere! With white colored yachts and cruise ships parked at the dock, I felt like I was somewhere in Europe instead of Singapore haha. Once again, Prive is one beautiful place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.…ดูเพิ่มเติม

I was randomly craving for Thai food that night. And coincidentally, Bangkok Jam was the first restaurant I saw as I stepped into Marina Square. Without further ado, we headed there for my Thai food craving fix.We asked one of the staff if we could sit on the sofa and she said yes. When we were looking at the menu, suddenly another staff (I think he was the head staff) came and told us that the seat we're sitting on was reserved (which means they accept seat reservation) and he asked us to move to another vacant seat, which was located in a secluded corner of the restaurant. He did request us to move politely, but still, I was a bit upset that I had to move out of my comfort zone haha.Thai Iced TeaIt was actually not written in the menu. There was only Caramel Thai Tea Blend. I just anyhow said I wanted to order Thai iced tea, the staff didn't say anything and noted down my order. I got the Thai iced tea that I want, not the Caramel Thai Tea Blend coz I didn't feel any trace of caramel and it didn't look like it was blended. The drink was a bit diluted though.Aep Gai - $13.90chiang mai style grilled curried minced chicken wrapped in banana leavesWhen his order came, bf got dumbfounded. "Like this only?", he said sarcastically. It didn't come with rice, so he ordered a bowl of white rice for a buck. I tried a spoonful and my, it tasted so weird! Didn't think it was worth the price. I suggested him to order dishes that had photo in the menu next time haha.Khao Na Gai - $11.90honey sesame chicken served with hom mali riceI'm really blind when it comes to Thai food, so I just ordered one that sounded familiar to me. This dish tasted like sweet and sour chicken, with onion, red and green bell pepper. I wondered what on earth was Hom Mali rice, and turned out it was just normal plain rice coming with a very small portion.Overall, the food what we had for dinner was not really pleasant. Service-wise, it was good, I must say. All the staffs were polite and always put smiles on their faces. They were prompt and attentive as well (calling them to refill the plain water wasn't a big deal). Despite the good service, I'm still unsure if I would give Bangkok Jam a second try...For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

It was my fourth time eating Llaollao. And fml, I just knew that Llaollao should be pronounced as 'yao-yao' instead of 'lao-lao'...It was a Saturday afternoon at 1pm, it was the first weekend in 2015, and surprisingly, the queue was short! We didn't see the queue that extended until the lift next to Yoshinoya that we used to see in 2014. Guess what, after we started queue-ing, the number of people queue-ing behind us started growing. We brought good luck, this was what we shamelessly called ourselves.Sanum - $6.50It's predictable that I always order Sanum every time I visit Llaollao, told you that once I begin to like a particular thing, high chance that I will repeat the order. This time, our Sanum contained chocolate muesli crunch and candy milk drizzle, and for the 3 choices of fruit I let bf decide, and he chose blueberry, strawberry and pomegranate. The yogurt as usual, nothing to complain about, it was perfect! But bf said my choice of crunch and sauce would bring him diabetes, coz it was cloyingly sweet haha. I was okay with it though. I like the candy milk drizzle and complemented the yogurt really well. It was my first time eating fresh pomegranate, it tasted unique with edible seed inside.Overall, Llaollao's Sanum is heavenly delicious, it's become my serious addiction. You gotta order this at Llaollao, I think it's more worth it than having normal cup of froyo (but then, you decide). I don't mind the queue coz at the end it's all paid off. I'm really jealous of SP and NTU students who have their own Llaollao stall at their school canteen hais... I swear if Llaollao opens at my school I WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO QUEUE!…ดูเพิ่มเติม

I had my new year's eve dinner at Ambush Junction 8. Unlike Christmas eve, this time restaurants were not really packed, we didn't need to be on the waiting list to get the seat. Serving European food, the menus are ranging from German to French food. However, some menus don't have the photo on the menu book (the menu book resembles a magazine btw), thus we had to guess how it would look like, and for some, we really had no idea what the hell they were. Cold WaterIt's refillable and served in a quite wide glassPan Seared Salmon & French Lentils - $18.50The salmon fillet was big and tender. The creamy sauce was delicious as well and had pancetta (Italian pork belly bacon) bits in it. Presentation wise, visually pretty.Sausage Plate - $14.90with Cheese Knacker sausages, potato rosti, and saeurkrautThis menu allows you to choose 1 kind of sausage (out of 4: Cheese Knacker, Bockwurst, French Chicken Garlic, and the other one which I forget haha) and 1 kind of starch (out of 4: potato rosti, potato puree, fries, and pasta). The rosti was decent, it was crispy on the outer part and not too oily. I'm not really fond of sour cream, so I skipped it. Thumbs up for the sausage. The cheese bits oozed out as I cut the sausage. The sausage was quite big in size and juicy, no complain from me.Overall, it was a nice final meal of 2014. Finally, I would like to say happy new year 2015! Wish you all had a great time in 2014 and look forward to a much better life in 2015.For more reviews, kindly visit ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม

I first spotted Charlie Brown Cafe in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Then they used to have one outlet at 313@Somerset outdoor area, but not long ago, even before I got a chance to try, it had been closed and will be replaced soon by Ben & Jerry's. However, if you haven't give Charlie Brown Cafe Singapore a try yet, no worry, coz they still have another outlet (I think it's the only one left) at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard.This cafe implemented free-seating concept, and there is no service charge (but GST still exists hais).Mango Apple Slush (regular) - $4.90My friend ordered this, but the staff said they were running out of apple. So, it became mango slush lor. After the staff had left, I burst out into laughter. This was what I told my friend..."Since they didn't have apple, they should have made your drink half-price as well."Chocolate Frappe - $4.90It was mediocre and don't even start comparing it with Starbucks'. What got me upset the most was that the plastic glass didn't came with Charlie Brown logo on it! Well, I kinda paid for the theme ya know, and how could they call themselves Charlie Brown Cafe when the glass didn't even have the freakin' Charlie Brown logo! Ohhh, gimme back my $2...Linus' Raspberry - $9.80hot pancakes drizzled with raspberry puree with a scoop of ice creamInitially, I was about to have lunch here, but then I the dessert attracted me more. The pancakes were just bleurgh, they were all cloyingly floury. The raspberry puree and the cookies & cream ice cream were still okay, at least. Another bright side, the cute Linus logo drawn on top of the pancake put a little smile on my face. Linus is my favorite character in Peanuts Family :) Overall, I was disappointed with the food at Charlie Brown Cafe. The food was nothing memorable, you probably pay more for the theme and atmosphere. If you like Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts Family members, you gotta visit this place at least once. Btw, we didn't know that we're supposed to pay at the counter (since no service charge), and we asked the staff for the bill instead. The staff then said, "ok lah, I'll send the bill to you". Hahahahaha...For more reviews, kindly visit ariellacahya.blogspot.com…ดูเพิ่มเติม
