This place is gazetted with many restaurants, located on level 2 of Wheelock Place. This is a small outlet, which make the place look crowded with a queue outside. I didn't like the place as it was just that small, and there wasn't any view to catch. It was just concealed within the 4 walls.
The staffs are pretty alright with their product knowledge, many of them are trainees when I went there a couple of days ago. Seems like the turnover rate is pretty fast.
Sorry to all Red Hot Chilli Pepper fans, but I just ate one of my favourite band. The dishes there are named quirkily and this is called Red Hot Chilli Pepper. I thought it was just a playful name and didn't meant what the name suggest but apparently after a few mouthful, it turned out to be quite spicy after all. My friend gave the Hammy Vice Sandwich a try, which was not bad too.
Also tried out the Chocolate Milk Elephanccino, which was quite tasty and sweet to my delight. My friend didn't like it though, too sweet for her liking. I'm pretty sweet toothed I guess.
Overall, I have not much to grumble about this outlet. I will head back to NYDC again, but I will try to avoid this outlet as I dislike small outlets with no great view to look though the side of the restaurant.
I have walked past this place many times before but never stepped in to try it out until a birthday meal was held there. I didn't have the intention to try it out because of the decor. It doesn't attract me, very pink and girly.
After eating there, I felt that the food there is overpriced. Why? When you step in there the next time round, try looking around the surrounding. You will realise that most of the items and equipments they used are very cheap. The cup is those plastic ones bought from Ikea, the water is poured using a Toyogo tumbler, the decor doesn't really need much money to design, the tables and chairs can be bought cheaply from wholesalers.
I don't under why people are willing to head there. The food is overpriced and the place is especially noisy. I can't hold a proper conversation as I couldn't make out what my friends were saying. The crowd is overwhelming.
My order was the Black Pepper Crispy Chicken. Being a avid black pepper lover, this was always going to be disappointing. The black pepper sauce didn't have grains of black pepper in it, literally. It was just purely a sauce, with only a slight tinge of pepper taste in it. It made the chicken real soggy and the crispiness was lost. This has to be one of my bad experience with black pepper food. Simply unacceptable to be termed a black pepper dish. Other orders such as the wedges and the glutton's platter are relatively alright, but price is quite steep as compared to other similar restaurants.
The only good I'm going to comment is the service level. Although there are only 2 service staff on the floor, the service level were of adequate level. I am pleased that they are able to adhere to most of our request promptly. Other than that, I am still not satisfied with the pricing of their menu. It's simply not justified.
I didn't know of this place till I went online and looked for some dim sum restaurant. I think I'll prefer to go to Red Star the next time round, although I'm not saying the food here is bad.
If you drive here, please head straight for the 4th floor for your own convenience. For others, you may have some trouble locating this place. It's kind of weird that it is located next to the carpark, with a entrance big enough for car to enter the restaurant. How's that for a start? :P This place seems to inhabited the building long before, when it was still called World Trade Centre. That was like years ago.
Anyway, went here because of the buffet dim sum set. Tried many of the dishes like the traditional har kow, siew mai, char siew bao and some new dishes not common like fish fillet and minced meat stuffed items.
While some of the food came out hot, most others were served warm or even cold. I was quite disappointed with that, nevertheless it is a buffet style lunch so I don't expect it to be too good either. Don't bother to try some of the uncommon items to be safe, as it seems that some of the experiment didn’t turn out successful.
The staff here are mostly aunties and old man but service was pretty much ok. Food is served promptly and drinks are refilled regularly. Did not have to let my stomach growl from waiting, but there isn't much to rave about here. Go for some other restaurants if you're looking for a decent dim sum, if not you can still patronise the restaurant for a relatively standard buffet deal.
It is one of the best shopping malls in Singapore at this moment as it provides everything you need in one convenient place. This place offers an alternative from the norm of Orchard Road and the Marina area. This place has eclipsed Suntec City Mall as the biggest shopping mall in Singapore. It is very accessible with a number of buses heading there, and the Harbourfront Station by MRT.
Shop till you drop at this humungous mall. Products and services ranging from fashion, sports, departmental store, boutiques, gifts, banks, electronical, hypermarket and many more.
There’s a wide array of food and beverages for your delight. You can choose from restaurants, cakes, dessert, candies, drinks, fast food, coffee house, cafes, small eateries and much, much more. Basically, this mall simply provides everything under the sun.
If you’re bringing your children or family along, there are activities for children to engage in. A playground can be found on the level 2, together with water features (which can also be found in level 1. You may also pay for your children to hop on board one of the animal rides as well.
It is also a great place to chill and relax at the rooftop of the mall. It holds an excellent view of the harbour and sentosa. Picnics can also be held there, chit-chat, play games or you can take a stroll along the wading pool as well.
First timer here are warned, you may get lost here. But once you come here very frequently, the paths and shops are easy to navigate at the back of your head.
I bet most of you would have already known of this restaurant with many outlets here. I didn't really try much of the food while I was here but just the wanton noodle. The noodle is not very tasty but the ingredients are very fresh. The soup is very tasty, which was a thick semi-thick based soup. Just pondered, why won't the taste linger onto the tasteless noodle? I ordered a hot drink, which tasted especially great when it was a very cold day. This place can also provide an alternative choice for a dining experience in this area. Anyway the visit was memorable due to the great service I experienced.
There was once when I needed to use my laptop to do my school project in the restaurant, which was rather urgent. I asked the manager if he could make arrangement for me to be seated where there is power supply to hook to my laptop. I was waiting for my friend who was stuck in a terrible thunderstorm and I was alone, but he was kind enough to let me take the sofa seat, which was the closest to one of the rare sockets around. Usually at this outlet they would allow big groups to take the sofa seats. Really thankful for his effort, if not I would not have finished it on time and be real screwed up.
