I was around the area for a seminar... We didn't wanna eat at the food court... (I heard it's bad)...
Anyway... Juz happen to see this resturant...
Very nice ambience even in the noon... Very classy... The people who dine there ALL are in TIES and SUIT... We were in jeans... wear till very casual.. so abit out of place...
Anyway... Three of us... We order different main course... According to the waitress... The change their menu quite frequently... So there is always surprises for regular customers...
We ordered
1.Seared Sea Scallops with Mushroom & Parma Ham Risotto, Chicken Jus
2. Braised Lamb Neck in Red Wine Sauce
3. Pan-Fried Red Drum with Gherkin-Capers & Garlic Herb crust, Onion Puree
We didn't order the set lunch ($35) although it's more worth it... We only have 1 hr for lunch... And we are afraid that they will take too long...
Whenever I feel very stress or I have craving for sweet stuff, I will definately drop by Cedele Depot at Jelita Cold Storage...
The CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE is heaven! It’s not those sponge cake kind... How should I describle? When you take a bite, your teeth juz melts into the chocolate! Be careful too... There is a THICK layer of chocolate powder on top! The chocolate powder is a little bitter... Hence... the cake is neutalise... Not too sweet!
BTW, this Cedele Deport is a counter branch only... They only sell Bread and Cake... No coffee... No tea... No soup...
I juz happen to be a Great World City with my girlfriend... We wanted to find a place for coffee and chit chat...
I love the CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE hence when I saw the Cedele Depot 'Cafe', I suggested here...
I had "Take a Break" set... One slice of cake and a cup of hot coffee juz cost me $7.30 nett...
Usually a slice of cake will cost $5 and a cup of coffee will cost $6... Hence this "Take a Break" set is really worth it!
My girlfriend had CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE... Hence I try their CARROT CAKE (not cai tou kway k?)... I still prefer the CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE...
Anyway if you are not the cake person, the soup serve here is also quite nice... I didn't order but I see almost every table, there's the soup... Mind you... The soup is not that cheap... I think abt $7 but free flow of bread....
Thinnly slice black pig, u juz need to 'wash' it in the hotpot for a few seconds... and it's done... It's very very sweet!
The soup base is actually rice water.... No taste... But the soup base not meant to drink...
After you finsihed the black pig and the veggie, next is the tofu porridge... Tofu is added to the rice soup base... I believe the tofu is from japan... not our local tofu... I also believe everything is from japan...
Anyway..the tofu porridge, u juz add salt and egg to taste... OISHI!
I had the impression that Pet's Lovers Centre was this chain store thing that was really expensive and un-feeling about pets because they generally do not sell pets (except in Simei).
But I was pleasantly surprised on my recent visit there last week. Was there to look for some stuff for my Rabbit and wasn't quite sure which litter pan to get as there was quite a few to choose from. The salesperson who approached me was very friendly and he shared with me his experiences with HIS rabbit. He gave me plenty of nice tips on what I can do to resolve my problem too. Showed me some stuff but did do any hard-selling.
The variety in the store is quite wide and they are willing to order stuff in if they do not have it at the moment.
Price-wise, I was surprised to find that they are cheaper than my regular pet-shop. About a dollar cheaper for my rabbit's food.
Oosh is a Japanese Restaurant located at Dempsey Road. It also serves up some fusion fare and western stuff. After some recommendations from friends, I decided to try it out.
It's been sectioned into different places The Bar - Alfresco Bar overlooking the Garden The Cellar - where you find fine wine and mingle Yen Dining - the conventional Jap Restie with the sushi counter The Roof - for chillin The Trellis - Enclosed little enclaves in the open area The Terrace - A Pavilion for finger food tastin The Lookout - A platform where you can see the entire place The Garden - Alfresco dining area The Deck - for functions
All the places are tastefully decorated and very cosy looking. Ambience is superb whether you're there on a date or for a gathering or even a casual dinner with clients.
The Garden Experience Out in the open, save for some bugs around, it was very nice dining under the stars and warm cosy lighting.
The Food : Garlic Shrimp, Stewed Oxtail, Sausage Pasta and Yuzu Sorbet.
The Garlic Shrimp was a tad bland for my taste. It wasn't even as well presented as it looked in the menu. Definitely not worth ordering.
My Sausage Pasta was average with little bits of garlic which didn't quite help in the taste. It wasn't bad either. But it could've been my cooking on a good day.
My companion commented that the Stewed Oxtail was just average as well. He's definitely had better ones.
The one thing that we loved was the Yuzu Sorbet. Well me more than him. A delightful dessert to end an average meal.
The Service: Pretty slow really. Was it too dark that they couldn't see us waving? The food only came after a couple of reminders and smiles were really few and far between.
The damage : about $70 for the two of us. A little ex for average food but if you consider the great ambience, I guess it's alright.
Conclusion: Not sure if I would go back. Maybe for chilling and drinks but not for food. :) The damage :
After a whole day without food, we went to Sakura for buffet dinner. Each pax $28 7%gst on weekends and $26 7%gst on weekdays. Price wise, its considered one of the cheapest buffet around. Serving quite a wide spread of Japanese food (sushi, sashimi, tempura, tepanyaki etc), Dim Sum, Chinese cooked food and yummy cakes.
We've been there many times for their high-tea buffet which consists of just sushi and sashimi. This was our first for their dinner. And we were satisfied with the entire experience. The food is good (not very good), taste wise still alright (after eating that much, the taste just blended) and the choices were alright for the price.
Can take a peep at what they serve in the photos I've uploaded. These are just 1/3 of what they have there.
Shoppers Rainbow is a local blogstore selling fashion from Taiwan and such. Their site is well-kept and comprehensive. They also organise sprees and allow pre-orders on items.
Although they don't have a very wide variety of items ( I expect them to "expand" soon) but their replies to tags and emails are very prompt. They are also very polite and make an effort to update their customers or taggers regularly. I think in terms of service that's good. They also do not give information which they are unsure of to unsure that no one is unhappy. :) Great people!. Do pay them a visit. :)
Personally... I love Crystal Jade... But out of all the different outlets... La Mian & Xiao Long Bao, no matter which branch, is definately a no-no for me...
And the branch at JP, the food is juz so-so... And the service... SUXs....
Always a long queue for Nasi Lemak. Notice that people are willing to risk summons by parking at the road side just to eat Nasi Lemak. Must be good right? So we decided to join the queue and try, just to find out if it was worth it to queue and risk a $50 fine - we did not get a fine as we parked in a designated spot ;)
Verdict : The Nasi Lemak was really lemak, unlike some other Nasi Lemak where the only lemak was in the name. It was fluffy and did not stick together. Fried Chicken wings and the Otah was also delicious as it was fresh and piping hot. The Chilli was also just right in its spicyness and sweetness. Definitely worth another visit when around the area.

The food is fabulous! Nice food and good service!
P.S. It seems the chef used to be from Les Amis.

Will probably be buying from them regularly. :)
