PappaMia @ Airport T1

PappaMia @ Airport T1

Changi Airport T1 has just completed its renovation.  All the restaurants were pretty crowded on a Sunday evening.  Decided to give this PappaMia a try whereby the dishes are mainly cooked in Ipoh style!  Simple dishes but was very tasty and delicious!  Like the laksa!  The price is about $6 to $7!  worth it!

BottleTree (Khatib)

BottleTree (Khatib) on 29 July

Decided to have crab for lunch on a Sunday afternoon but don't wish to travel far to town.. so we decided to try out the BottleTree Restaurant at Khatib area. 

The restaurant was pretty empty except for a few big occupied tables.  We ordered Chilli Crab and a Toufu dish.  Was quite disappointed with the chilli crab, although the crab meat was fresh.  The chilli gravy was not fantastic at all and contains plenty of chilli seeds.  Don't like it!



Aston Prime

Aston Prime @ Centrepoint on 27 July

Had our lunch on a Friday afternoon at Aston Prime at Centrepoint.  We ordered a Halibut fish steak and a Salmon steak.  The price at Aston Prime is slightly more expensive than other Aston stalls.  But it's worth the price as the fish are both very fresh and nicely done!

Hangora @ MBS

Lunch at Hangora @ MBS

Hangora is a Korean Restaurant at Marina Bay Sands.  We went on a Sunday afternoon for lunch.  The restaurant was not crowded at all.  Luckily, the food was good. 

They came with a starter of 4 dishes.  Typical Korean cold dishes such as Kimchi.  I finished up the vegetable and the bean curd starters.  We ordered a seafood soybean soup (with rice) and a fried mackerel fish (with rice).  Both the dishes are very nice.  The fried fish was done to perfection.

This restaurant is also in the list of the UOB-MBS credit card promotion whereby you spent minimum $20 dollars and can get 6 hours of free parking.  Plus the UOB card gave us 20% discount.  All in all, we spent $34 for the 2 dishes.

Crystal Jade

Crystal Jade @ Junction 8

Dinner at Crystal Jade on 18 May.  As usual, pretty good standard from crystal jade.  Ordered 3 dishes, sea cucumber, fried beans and the 2 types of meat platter (soy chicken and chao shao).  My first time ordering the meat platter and it was good.  The chicken was very soft and tender!  But it was pretty expensive.  $15 for the small plate of meat platter!




Town Restaurant

Town Restaurant @ Fullerton

The Town Restaurant @ Fullerton Hotel is offering this Local High Tea Buffet Lunch every saturday from 12pm to 3pm.  We happened to have a pair of complimentary voucher for 2 high tea bffet from our previous hotel stay!  The high tea cost $32++ per pax.

The spread was pretty good.. ranging from laksa, mee siam, yong tau fu, roti prata , poh piah and several cooked dishes such as fish, curry chicken.  There's also a salad bar and sushi.  And there's a DIY station for rojak.

the desserts and fruits selection was pretty good too.  though we didn't take a lot of the desserts.. it's mostly those type of nonya cakes...
















Paradise Dynasty @ ION Orchard

Lunch at Paradise Dynasty @ ION Orchard

Had lunch at the Paradise Dynasty @ ION Orchard on 7 May (Sun).  We were there slightly before 12pm and surprisingly there was already quite a queue number to wait.  We waited for 15 mins to get a seat!

Luckily, the food did not disappoint us! We had the standard Xiao Long Bao.  Yummy!

And shared a Fried Pork Rib La Mian.  The lamian and soup base is delicious.  Although the pork rib is slightly tougher, it's very fragrant with the fried garlic and herbs!
