We pop by this outlet on the higher floor of Orchard Central for a nice BBQ dinner on a cool friday evening. Good thing we had a booking, otherwise we would have to queue and mind you the queue was not short. A choice of indoor and outdoor seating and we've decided on indoor which is proven later a rather lousy decision.
Outdoor was pretty good for BBQ as its not as oily, smoky and you won't smell like grilled chicken when you are off to your next nightsport. The view was nice and place was decorated pretty cosy, but we sat inside.
Table given to us was too small and rather tight while the BBQ Plate take up about 1/3 of the table, we are left with meagre spaces and since its a booth seat, there was no place to hide as the oil splatters while the juicy meat sizzler.
The selection of raw meat was good, veg pretty fresh and the seasoning of the meat was quite yummy. I tried some of their potato salad and found it a little stale with the cream going a little sour. Mushrooms was almost always out of stock and we had to make do with other things which kind of got on my nerve.
I also tried a couple of their ready cooked selections and the chicken wings is overated... its only averagely yummy and the other stuffs like kim chi pancakes and fish cakes are average.
I must say, this is a convenient location with good ambience (if you seat outside) and to eat Korean BBQ on a windy evening is pretty nice.
Service is only acceptable as we booked for a group of 6 and only 5 came yet we got cramped into a 4 person booth seat and everybody was unhappy with the space and not allowed to change. We are just disappointed but will return with smaller groups and outdoor seats...
Oh yar dining indoor is generally oily and dodgy. The seats were oily, floor oily and rather stuffy and we couldn't get out.... *frustration*
Lunch: S$14.90 (Mon to Fri), S$24.90 (Sat, Sun, Eve of PH, & PH). Dinner: S$24.90 (Mon to Thu), S$26.90 (Sat, Sun, Eve of PH, & PH).
Loving Cedele to the max because of the healthy ingredient used, lovely bakes and great cake selections. If you are looking for a healthy meal, this is one of the most interesting place with a great selection on the menu and hearty breads, cakes and muffins at a very reasonable price for the high quality ingredients used.
Cakes: I love this the most especially the chocolate banana with oat cake. Its a heavy cake yet i know it is made with the best ingredients and is the kindest of all the chocolate banana cakes from elsewhere... It is creamy yet chocolate is thick and of the right sweetness. Cake is spongy and moist while banana add on to the aromatic flavor. The combination is heavenly. Be sure to try the carrot and walnut cake too.
Breads: My favourite, the orange swirl is a WOW-LER.... I mean i couldn't stop wow-ing... its heavy and is available in a loaf yet they could slice it for me. It moist and spongy with loads of healthy orange jam inside with a slight whiff of cinnamon, this combination is exceptionally good and i just couldn't stop munching on it. Its good to consume within the day because when kept till the next day, the bread grew a little hard, which also means almost no preservatives were used i guess...
Beverages: Have you checked out the beverage section? Besides the healthy, organic selection of teas and freshly brewed coffee, they serve also hearty fruit juices and with a choice of including CHIA seeds.. while... i mean CHIA SEEDS are like super Omega Perkers... good stuffs
Last I would love to mention the soup, they have a selection of about 2-4 to choose from and my favourite, the clam chowder which is chunky and love to add loads of pepper to it.
The review is getting too long and well the mains on the menu is also fabulous... I better leave some words for other outlets... I'm CEDELE's Biggest Fan :)
5 Stars for the great food, great service, super good ingredients and nice locations, though its always difficult to find seats. Place is kept pretty clean and love the comprehensive healthy thoughts put into creating the menu.. really a life saver...
Have you gone to the VivoCity golden village? nothing much has changed through the years but the ticketing level seemed to shrink in size. The cinemas remained comfy, air-conditioning (less chilly) felt just right and the seats are still clean though the facilities should have aged quite a bit. Was there for a movie but with the various new theatres coming up, Golden Village Vivocity, once being the most sought after cinema venues have not lost its appeal with me. The popcorns are not as yummy as the ones at Shaw and well, Digital and Sound is not as techy as that of Cathay's new venues but it still brings back the old memories.Love the idea of a second level popcorn counters where you can easily purchase snacks and drinks while halfway through the movie. Well its been like 5 years since we last reviewed on this location and I must say... its still a very good location for movies and afterwards you can grab some good food at the menu restaurants downstairs and perhaps a little shop (and i can hear the boys exclaim "OMG!!!")
The Beacon, indeed a great place to chill and unwind... The band was particularly good and happy hours are one for one housepours and draft beers. Seats were pretty tight however I spotted some really interesting corners for you to hide with your bunch of friends.
Mostly singing pop and rock hits with a lovely sound system. Prices were pretty reasonable and love the oyster deal where you can get $5 oysters with every beer ordered...
Service was pretty good, quick and efficient while it does get crowded later in the evening, so be sure to grab a seat before 7:30pm and preferably one that is not too near the band it could be noisy.. well, who chit chat when the band plays... oh i forgot... my band of girls do.... Hm.... no wonder we always end up with a sore throat everytime we go partying...i always thought it was the chicken wings.....
Nice place with great ambiance and service. Though the previous dining style is much preferred due to the variety of dishes we can choose from, this style of a bistro is a good change as now we have more service and attention. Well attention was not easy to grab as this location is mostly crowded even on weekday eves, however getting a seat is not difficult as the restaurant is spacious with a good layout with little wasted space.
The menu was a little sad looking as compared for the reputation Marche has built through the years with my favorite Rosti nowhere to be found however, the Pork Knuckles and many infamous dishes were maintained. So we look through the huge one page menu and decided upon a few yummy dishes.
1) We had lemonade for drinks as home-made lemonade seemed like a good opener for all the oily food we are to consume next. Lemonade was of a good citrus mix and was proven to be a good choice.
2) Bacon with Figs in a honey mustard sauce was yummy but in a small portion. We practically popped them into our mouths in one go and it disappeared. This dish was addictive as the savory bacon skwered with the sweetish red dates was a heavenly combination, not forgetting the a good dose of the honey mustard sauce.. oh well, it was a generous bowl of more honey than mustard combi... as from this point onwards, everything goes into this dip.
3) The pizza was rather regular... sauce and hand-rolled base has no "WoW" effect, while the toppings were just not exciting. Its comfort food for us and well the portion was good... they managed to slice it into 10 pieces of squarish looking sizes that are easy to handle.
4) Roast Pork was yummy... came in a bed of mash and some greens drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The crispy skin crackles underneath my teeth and the soft meat tempted me not to stop. It was pretty good i must say.
Well dessert looks interesting and pancakes I will not fail to try them out the next time round... Love the ambiance and well price was pretty average for the environment and the location. Portion was okay for mains but tiny for appetizer... Would love a better selection of beer and wines.
