Had been to the Straits Cafe on several occasions, always there for its buffet dinner. The spread of food was quite ok. There was salmon sashimi, nigiri sushi, smoked salmon, bbq chicken, steak, etc. There is also local food such as laksa. As for desserts, there some nice pastries as well as the traditional red bean and green bean soup. However, as compared to the some of the buffet dinners I had before, as such that in Pariss or Vienna, the spread was relatively lesser in variety.
The taste of the food was overall satisfactory, but not to be really fantastic. In addition, the price of the dinner ain't that cheap either. Therefore for those looking for a good meal at a good price, I don't think this is the place for you. So you may want to give it a miss.
However, if you really want to at least try it once, I do recommend that you make a reservation as it may be quite crowded at times and you end up making a wasted trip there.
Was at The Cathay yesterday to catch the show "Lust,Caution" at Hall 2 of the Cineplex. This was only my 2nd time watching a movie there.
I must say that the leg room was quite good. Wide and plenty of room to let ppl walk past effortlessly. All the seats were like couple seats, as the handrest between two seats can always be lifted up. And the sound system was quite good as well.
However, the cushions seems to have some sort of a smell which both me and my partner noticed. As I don't frequent there, I can't confirm if it was just my seats (I was sitting in the last row corner) or the same for all seats. Anyone else had such experiences to share perhaps?
And I must say that the food there seems to be slightly pricier than that of GV cinemas. And like what Pharque had mentioned in her review, the number of shows and times lots also lose out to GV.
Overall I would say that it is a good cinema but more improvements could still be done.
Well I had been to the this Japanese restaurant quite some time ago. So I can't really remember what I had eaten there. However, without a doubt, the quality of the food there is not satisfactory, and is not worth the money paying.
In addition, the staff were slow in their service even though there were not that many customers around at that time. In the ned, I did finish up my meal cos like Natsu, I was just too hungry at that time and I don;t wanna see my money go to waste in a way.
Suffice to say, that was a really disappointing meal for me and I won't be going back again for sure. And guess what, I walked past the restaurant last week and it was all covered up. Not sure if its under renovation or the business winded up liao.
Was at this restaurant a couple of months back with my girlfriend and her friend. I was formerly introduced to this place by my colleague and so decided to give it a try.
The place was quite nicely done up and if you were sitting by the window, you can get a good glimpse of the lights and the Singapore River while having your dinner.
So after we were seated, we ordered Black Pig Shabu Shabu, Black Pig Loin Katsu set and extra plates of the Shabu Shabu meat. I must say that the Shabu Shabu meat was really tender and juicy. The taste was realy good, with the meat just melting in your mouth almost instantly. As for the Pig Loin Katsu, it was crispy and yet nt too oily, which was very good.
Unfortunately,we did not get to eat their dessert which was the Orange Jelly and Nagasi Warabi Mochi, which were already sold out when we wanted to place our order.
Overall, I would say that the food there taste really fantastic. However, the quantity of food is catered mainly either for one to two pax consumption depending on ur choice. Therefore I would be recommended to order extra plates of meat if you are a meat lover.
However, do take note that the prices there are slightly steeper due to the high quality of the meat, which is the Berkshire pork ("black pig") which is imported from the United States. As such, you may consider ordering extra plates of meat when you have finished your intial serving and wanna have more.
Was at Quality Cafe on Friday night to have their buffet Taiwanese porridge buffet. In the past, had been to this cafe several times and found their food to have quite a fair range and well worth the money. Before 10pm, the pricing is at 10.80 per pax and after that, it only costs 6.90 per pax. ( The prices are before GST).
The range of food there includes steamed fish,curry chicken, taiwanese sausages, crab, braised eggs, tau pok, etc and the normal porridge condiments such as peanuts, ikan bilis and pickles.
Overall, I would say that the food quite tasty and thou it may nt seem to be that wide a range as compared to other buffets, I still think that for the price stated above, it is still acceptable.
But do take note that this cafe is rather small and thus it would be advisable to make a reservation beforehand to avoid being put on the waiting list when you get there.
Bobosaid: wow.. i like porridge buffets le. And it's cheap after 10. Nice supper... :) Will find time to check it out. :) 30 Sep 2007 at 1:27 am
feizhusaid: If you want to eat porridge buffets before 10, try Crystal Cafe. Food quality is better. Variety at Quality is very limited. If you want to eat on weekends, its best to make reservations 2 weeks befor 30 Sep 2007 at 10:13 am
