Arriving at Binja park, my family walk from the bus stop to Ivin’s, which took around 5min or thereabouts. Ivins is a Peranakan/Nonya restaurant, and although it is located in Binja park off the main Bukit timah road, it was packed to the house when i arrived on a Sat evening.
The dishes Ivins offers are small in servings, but similarly they are cheaper in price. You can normal dishes for vegies, meats, and some other sides at around $4.50 to $6. For fishs, they come in $6.90 to $8, and there are also curry fish heads at $12. Because the servings are all very small, we committed the sin of ordering too many dishes, between the three of us, we ordered 7 dishes, some are good, while some are not. Mayb we are not too familiar with Peranakan food, so we ended up having some dishes which really aren’t to our liking.
Chilly Pomfret ($7.80)
The fish was rather good, it was deep fried, then spread with Ivins special-made chilli. The fish was kind of small though.
Ayam Buah Keluak ($5.90)
Signature dish of Peranakan cuisine. Chicken braised in thick spicy gravy with Buah kuluah nuts. We felt this dish was so-so only, chicken curry with the curry gravy different from our normal curry.
Sambal Kankong ($4.50)
Ahh.. All Kankong are well done when they are fried with Sambal, and when the kankong are not too over-cooked.
Duan Keledek ($4.80)
Sweet potato leaves and sweet potato slices in coconut gravy. This was our fatal mistake, we wanted to have Sweet potato leaves, but when we order this dish, we missed on out the “.. in coconut gravy” We thought the vegies was stir-fried, but in the end it came in the form of a soup? Anyway, the dish wasn’t to our taste.
Honey Pork ($4.60)
This should be the toast of the crown. By far the best dish we ordered, lean pork strips stir-fried in special honey sauce. The meat no doubt look over-burned, but it taste nice with the honey sauce absorbed into the meat.
Udang Sambal ($5)
This was a disappointment really, after we had the Chilly Pomfret, we thought Ivins chilli are good stuff, so we made this additional order for sambal prawn. The prawn is like cooked in water, then with the chilli over it only.
Babi Tauyu ($4.60)
Pork in sweet pepperish sauce. Again, this was a last-min-order. We never expected this to be our commonly known “ru-rou”.
Then mayb you will say, if you don’t know about Perankan cuisine its not the restaurant fault if you never ask right? Oh yea, we did ask the waitress, but many a times, they can’t really speak good english, and also cannot explain to us what are the dishes.
In addition, you will commit the same mistake of ordering too much dishes since the servings are small, and the dishes seem relatively cheap. Nevertheless, i believe Ivins are still a good place for Peranakan cuisine if you know your stuff well, judging from the crowd on a weekend evening. But i am not going back for now. Total bill was $43.70 for 3 person

” My opinion, my views. If you don’t agree, thats not really a issue “
Haato is a feeling, you don’t give or receive haato.
You just feel it. It comes to you so long you open your heart
Haato celebrates the Art of Giving from the heart … to the heart
you won’t See it, Smell it, Touch it, but you can Feel it, its always around you…
Every scoop of Haato is a special experience.
Haato is a unique brand of gelato based on traditional recipes from Japan. It is one of the first gelato counters in Singapore to offer freshly made gelato that is free from artificial colouring and preservatives.
With their flagship outlet (formerly known as Gelato di Crema) at Liang Court Shopping Centre has been serving gelato for more than 16 years and continues to earn rave reviews from people all over the world. Haato is perfect for any occasion. A premium quality treat to be shared with friends and loved ones.
For the hungry pack, Haato @ Ridgewood serves food ranging from Japanese pasta and Japanese don. For sweet delights, enjoy an affogato or waffles with gelato. So drop by this quaint cafe at Ridgewood Close (off Pandan Valley Condominium and Ridgewood Condominium) for a quiet afternoon and some savoury food. (And not to forget the gelato of course!)
Haato @ Ridgewood is rather inaccessible and difficult to find. For one, it is off Pandan Valley Condominium, and if you are coming by Public transport, you need to stop at Ulu Pandan Rd, with the walking distance about 10-15min. Lucky for us, my usual foodie companian Hong Yi and Wee Hong drive, we went there by car. Even so, we spent some time looking for the place as we went one round around Mount Sinai rise before we realise its the wrong way, and found Ridgewood Close. However, despite all the hassle, Haato @ Ridgewood greets me with a delightful surprise when i got there.
Located at Ridgewood Condominium, the place where Haato’s at is actually a row of shops below the Condo. The interior of Haato is actually smaller than i expected, there are also outdoor seats though. Well, if i were to compare with Island Creamery or The Daily Scoop, , i would say Haato win hands-down for its laid-back and chill-out environment. You can order Gelato and sit there chat with your friends whole day. Who says you need to go to Demspey to chill out?
Unagi Pasta ($6.50)
The Unagi Pasta ($6.50) is great value for money. A generous slice of unagi (eel) engulfed in homemade sauce is served with warm Japanese pasta. The taste is not too strong and subtle, very much like home-cooked food. However, the portion is a tad too small.
Chicken Katsudon ($7)
I like this one. Like all Katsudon, the egg cover the layer of chicken and rice underneath it. Nothing special you’ll say, but then sometimes ordinary food taste extraordinary in the company of good friends, and good environment.
Chicken Teriyaki Don ($7.50)
Not too bad, considering the price is relatively inexpensive, and the fact that you are here more for the Gelato than the Japanese Don. But really i think the portion could be a bit bigger : )
Chocolate Banana (left) was great, the chocolate Gelato with a hint of banana flavour within. The Sweet Potato with Honey & Chestnut was more disappointing though, relatively tasteless. The double scoop was very generously given by one of the staff. Definitely value for money at $4.50.
Waffle with single scoop Gelato chocolate hazelnut ($6)
Chocolate Hazelnut, my favourite! I always like to order hazelnut ice cream whenever i go to a ice-cream palour. Nutella! The waffle took about ten minutes or so. The Waffle mix is made in-house using an exclusive recipe. Toasted to perfection – crispy on the outside and warm and moist on the inside, it tastes heavenly even on its own. First bite of the waffle was cripsy and soft, and i would say this is one of the better waffles out there.
The Gelato simply melts on my tongue together with the waffle. However the scoop was not as generous as the one above (the double scoop), because this time it was another staff who scoop the Gelato. He gave much smaller scoops for both our waffle compare to the one who gave us the double scoop cone.
Waffle with single scoop Gelato milk tea ($6)
For something different, yet close to home, try the Milk Tea gelato, which tastes exactly like the “Teh Tarik” found in local coffee shops. Milk tea fanatics would like this very much on swelteringly warm days, instead of their usual hot cuppa.
Actually my conclusion of the waffles, they are wonderful, but don’t order Waffle with Gelato, just take waffle with melted butter and treacly maple syrup instead. Reason is simple, the waffle is so good on its own that you don’t need the Gelato to compliment it. Besides, its more worth it to take double scoop at $4.50 than a single scoop on waffle at $6. Furthermore, i found that you could taste the Gelato better on its own, than together with the waffle, because the hot waffle sort of cover the Gelato flavour. So just take Waffle with butter syrup, den a couple of double scoops to share around.
Haato @ Ridgewood is a delightful place to chill-out, will definitely go back again, i’ll take bus the next time if i have to. If you find it far, there are other outlets at Wheelock, Liang Court and Serangoon Gardens. Check em’ out! Their Japanese Don and Pastas might not be the best, but they are there to act as compliments to the Gelato. Total Bill of $37.50 for three person was really not expensive at all. Oh ya, there are board games around to play while you chill with friends. And always feel free to ask for sample of the Gelato if you are not sure which flavour are nice, the staff will always provide you with samplers if you ask.

The above extract is taken from Pet Concierge, the owner is a friend, please approach them if you need basic grooming, pet taxi, boarding or hydrotherapy for your pets. Rest assured your pets are in good hands :)
The first time i went to the place did not find it too easily, it is at level 4 of harbour front just beside the car park. The evaluators do not go to level 4, so highly take the lift.
Similar to wad the previous post Bubblesky has said, Dragon Gate like most Dim-sum restaurants, there is the usual range of dim-sum such as; har gow (shrimp dumplings), char siew baos, siew mai, char siew sou, luobogao (carrot cakes), xiaolongbaos, and many more. There is particularly more deep-fried type of Dim-sum available. The menu also have some dishes like sweet-sour pork, chicken, fried veggies and some other stuff.
After two rounds of dim-sum ordering, boy was i full. Considering the fact that if you go to a normal dim-sum restaurant ordering dim-sum would be at least $2 per plate. At $12 plus per person, it is a steal for the all-you-can-eat dim sum buffet.
Sakura is being located in ommi centre, beside the science centre in jurong. A pretty strange place to locate a restaurant if you asked me. Ommi centre does not have rather much visitors, but when i reached sakura, it is quite crowded despite the place being a little hard to reach.
The buffet lunch is $20 nett, which i believe is rather cheap for a buffet lunch, and $26 nett for buffet dinner. There are sushi, desserts, fried-stuff, salads, fruits, free flow of drinks. In addition, there is a place serving chicken chops, lamp chops, beef, prawn, fish, all cook on the spot, u'll have to put a clip(which has yr table no on it) at the food that u wan. After which, the chef will cook on the spot, and the waiters will serve it to your table.
Although the food cannot be describe as heavenly, but i believe at 20 bucks per person, it is considered value for money, after all there are buffets that cost much and taste less
Went to Pepper lunch with a couple of friends a while ago. First impression, it this a fastfood restaurant or is it a japanese restaurant. Well, its both actually.
The Q was'nt too long, and very soon we ordered our food at the counter.
I ordeded the set meal chicken which comes at $8.80, while my friends ordered salmons, and beef.
What was special about the food, was its packaging. The sizzling hot-plates all came with a paper wrapped round it to teach you how to savour its meals.
Overall, i found the food to be anything but special, that is ordinary. But if you didn't went before, it is worth well going once for the sizzling hot plates. However, be WARNED, the pepper lunch smell will be with you after finishing the meal : )
Having stay in Holland before for about 10 years, i can say i grew up with this coffee shop (cant remember how many years it had opened though), its used to be just below my block.
Holland V Fish Head Bee Hun, needless to say it is famous for its XO Fish Head Bee Hun. Somehow my family feels that when the store was not so famous, the food tasted better. When the store become more well-known, the boss becomes a bit cocky and proud.
Having said all that, one of the dish that i liked from the store is its prawn-paste chicken. Its one of the best i had tasted before, so go on try it if you visit the coffee shop.
O well, although the boss is a bit cocky and all that stuff, Holland V Fish Head Bee Hun remains to be one of the more famous stores in Holland V
Had Business lunch at Yum Cha restaurant, one of the more commonly recognize Dim-Sum restaurant in Singapore probably due to their TV advertisements. The other one which will come to my mind thinking of dim-sum will be Fortunate Restaurant also because of their TV adverts.
The menu was done up very nicely and shows colorful, attractive pictures of the dim-sum. The place was quite full, so we had to wait a while before the food was served.
The Dim-sum taste and looks good, price is reasonable i guess, although u cant compare it with a dim-sum buffet. We had cheong fun, carrot cake, xiaolongbao, glutinous rice in lotus leaf, chicken giant bun, steamed bean curd skin roll, steamed pork ribs, har gao, century egg congee, fried vegetarian spring roll.
Quite a wide range of dim-sum available, too many for you to taste it all : )
Hmm, came here to "chill out"or rather to have someplace for a drink and chat after we had our dinner at Alaturka.
We only had drinks there, milo, tea, coffee. Had a quick glance at the menu, quite agree with the previous blurber shu yen that it is quite a rip off. Hot drinks are at $1.20, while ice drinks are at $2.50 and above. I had hot milo, while the ice milo because it has ice cost $1.30 more? Since when did ice become so expensive?
The menu had quite a variety of Hong Kong cafe food, but the price are rather high. I mean although its a restaurant, but its just selling Hong Kong cafe food which is not really worth that much of a price. Instant noodle with luncheon meat and egg, i can cook that for you at home, i just charge $2? ( : O well, cant really comment on the food because we did not order any
Well well, we wanted to try something more exotic because was getting a bit bored of eating chinese, western, and jap food. Alaturka serves a sort of combination of turkish and mediterranean cuisine. I had make a reservation in advance, and they saved their best seat for us, which even had a roof that can be open so that we can look at the sky. So rule number one always make reservation before you go. We took a while before we can decide what to order because all of us did not try turkey food before.
The kofte ($13.00) which was grilled lamb with rice and vege. Turkey really can cook their lamb, or at least at Alaturka they do it well. 4.5 out of 5
The Etlipide ($11.50) which was baked bread with chicken. Pretty good, i think its quite similar to Italy pizza, but if you had it as main course, its not really filling. 3.5 out of 5
Adana chicken Kebab ($13.00), it has grilled chicken kebab with rice and vege. 3.5 out of 5
The Iskender Kebab ($15.00) chicken with yogut. Hmm, it has lots of chicken, but then being the most expensive dish among us, it has no rice, so ordered one rice pilaf at $1.50. Not too bad, but considering it with the other dishes, the price a bit higher. 3.5 out of 5
The Kuzupirzola ($14.00) which was lamb chop with rice and vege. Although i do not eat lamb often, but the lamb chop here was good enough for me. Alaturka really do their lamb well service. 4.5 out of 5
All in all, lamb is well done here, the chicken kebabs are also not bad, quite a number of variety of kebab and Ottoman specials they called it. No air-con, but hey come on, for the reasonable price and good food its worth it. If you want something special, Alaturka is the place for you.

The Dim-sum taste and looks good, price is reasonable i guess, although u cant compare it with a dim-sum buffet. We had cheong fun, carrot cake, xiaolongbao, glutinous rice in lotus leaf, chicken giant bun, steamed bean curd skin roll, steamed pork ribs, har gao, century egg congee, fried vegetarian spring roll.
Quite a wide range of dim-sum available, too many for you to taste it all : )

Hmm, came here to "chill out"or rather to have someplace for a drink and chat after we had our dinner at Alaturka.
We only had drinks there, milo, tea, coffee. Had a quick glance at the menu, quite agree with the previous blurber shu yen that it is quite a rip off. Hot drinks are at $1.20, while ice drinks are at $2.50 and above. I had hot milo, while the ice milo because it has ice cost $1.30 more? Since when did ice become so expensive?
The menu had quite a variety of Hong Kong cafe food, but the price are rather high. I mean although its a restaurant, but its just selling Hong Kong cafe food which is not really worth that much of a price. Instant noodle with luncheon meat and egg, i can cook that for you at home, i just charge $2? ( : O well, cant really comment on the food because we did not order any

Well well, we wanted to try something more exotic because was getting a bit bored of eating chinese, western, and jap food. Alaturka serves a sort of combination of turkish and mediterranean cuisine. I had make a reservation in advance, and they saved their best seat for us, which even had a roof that can be open so that we can look at the sky. So rule number one always make reservation before you go. We took a while before we can decide what to order because all of us did not try turkey food before.
The kofte ($13.00) which was grilled lamb with rice and vege. Turkey really can cook their lamb, or at least at Alaturka they do it well. 4.5 out of 5
The Etlipide ($11.50) which was baked bread with chicken. Pretty good, i think its quite similar to Italy pizza, but if you had it as main course, its not really filling. 3.5 out of 5
Adana chicken Kebab ($13.00), it has grilled chicken kebab with rice and vege. 3.5 out of 5
The Iskender Kebab ($15.00) chicken with yogut. Hmm, it has lots of chicken, but then being the most expensive dish among us, it has no rice, so ordered one rice pilaf at $1.50. Not too bad, but considering it with the other dishes, the price a bit higher. 3.5 out of 5
The Kuzupirzola ($14.00) which was lamb chop with rice and vege. Although i do not eat lamb often, but the lamb chop here was good enough for me. Alaturka really do their lamb well service. 4.5 out of 5
All in all, lamb is well done here, the chicken kebabs are also not bad, quite a number of variety of kebab and Ottoman specials they called it. No air-con, but hey come on, for the reasonable price and good food its worth it. If you want something special, Alaturka is the place for you.
