Buffet with quality food! If you are looking for some quality buffet, I think @tunglokgroup 's dim sum lunch buffet might tick your checkboxes! The lunch buffet is priced quite affordably at $43.80++, considering the fact that a portion of chilli crabs is served with the unlimited portions of zichar dishes and dim sum you can order. Here are some of my favourite dishes: Chilli Crabs - the crabs given were pretty huge and meaty, and the sauce was just fantastic 😍 there was loads of egg within and it was sweet and savoury enough! Best paired with their mantou hoho Salmon Sashimi - the buffet includes free flow salmon sashimi too! It's fresh but not the best. It was rather fatty and still decent. Char Siu Puff - this was so addictive 😍 the puff pastry was very flaky, and I just loved the savoury char siu within. There was no pork odour and the sauce just complemented the pork floss on top so well. Char Siu Bao - this is a classic dim sum done well. The char siu, as mentioned earlier, was flavourful and I loved the sweet fluffy dough that is hard to replicate. Meat to bun ratio was just right! Now this is a place good enough to bring your family for a meal or a celebration 😍

Sashimi Superior food

For 1-for-1 Salmon Sashimi (save~$22) Offering the freshest catch to seafood lovers from all over Singapore. TungLok Seafood takes pride in authentic Singaporean seafood. TungLok founded the innovative dish Deep-fried Prawns with Wasabi-mayo Sauce ($28) in 2000, and it quickly gained a cult following. Fresh delectable prawns are cooked absolutely perfect and then doused with a wasabi-infused mayo dressing, making this a must-try. 📸 by Burppler Alicia Ho

Coffee Smith Mango Bingsu is a refreshing treat that perfectly complements Singapore’s humid weather. The dessert is beautifully presented with generous chunks of fresh, golden mango sitting atop a mountain of ultra-fine shaved ice soaked in milk. The bingsu itself is light, smooth, and milky, offering a creamy taste without the heaviness of whipped cream. The natural sweetness of the ripe mango cubes pairs excellently with the milk-infused ice, creating a balanced flavor profile that’s not overly sweet. The subtle crunch from almond slivers sprinkled on top adds a pleasant texture to each bite. While it’s on the pricier side, the portion is substantial, making it perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying solo if you’re feeling indulgent. For mango lovers and fans of bingsu, this dessert is a tropical escape in a bowl!

Green Tea Latte (Large - $8.50) I felt that their green tea latte taste so weird like strong vegetal tbh. I don't think that I will patronised them for latte series :")

Croque Monsieur & Americano Enjoyed this exact order at Suntec branch better somehow.

Honeydew sago with corn and peach resin Final course and dessert to the burpple set meal during CNY 2022. Not the most aesthetically impressive compared to previous desserts that I had here during previous meals, but it was good and refreshing. Rating 7/10. Service by the staff was impeccable and attentive and deserve 10/10. Great ambience although the restaurant was a little more crowded that I prefer. Will be back 👍

36 Head Abalone with Eight Treasure Glutinous rice One of the courses to the burpple set meal during CNY 2022. Not sure what's with the descriptions of "36 Head" or "Eight treasures" aspects of the dish, but to a plebian like me with unrefined taste buds, this tasted very much like an abalone that's placed on top of a mound fragrant glutinous rice that's been beautifully plated. The anchovies / ebi bits added a slight crunch and mouth texture to the dish as well, which was arguably the most memorable aspect of this dish. Rating : 7.4/10.

Hokkaido scallop with garden salad and mountain yam Appetiser to the burpple set during CNY 2022. Not a fan of yam, but this surprisingly paired well with the sweet and succulent scallop. Rating 7.3/10

Lai Lai Taiwan Lai Lai Taiwan Casual Dining offers a fuss-free spot for hearty Taiwanese dishes. We started with the signature Stewed Beef Noodles, served in a generous portion with thick, chewy noodles and plenty of tender beef chunks. The beef, juicy and flavorful with bits of tendon, stood out as the highlight of the dish. However, the broth was a letdown—it had an aromatic, mildly spicy kick but lacked the depth and savoriness expected from a beef-based soup, tasting a little watered down. Next, we tried the Braised Pork Rice, a comforting dish with fluffy pearl rice, braised peanuts, and a hard-boiled egg. The pork belly pieces, though flavorful, were inconsistent in texture—some were tender and juicy, while others felt tough and dry. Despite this, the dish offered a satisfying, homely experience. The Taiwan Pancake, however, stole the show. The crispy exterior paired perfectly with the savory pork floss and melted cheese inside, creating a snack that was both indulgent and addictive. Although slightly oily, it delivered on flavor and texture, making it the standout of the meal. The restaurant’s ambience is simple, spacious, and comfortable, perfect for casual dining. However, it tends to fill up quickly during peak hours, so arriving early is a good idea. Overall, Lai Lai Taiwan Casual Dining offers a mix of hits and misses but makes for an enjoyable spot to explore Taiwanese cuisine.

herba duck soup ($12.90) q nice and a lot of meat! wld also recommend the lu rou fan and milk tea

City Square Lai Lai Restaurant Lunch at Lai Lai Taiwan restaurant on 3 July 2023. Disappointed with cash payment mode. Unable to use credit card in a restaurant shopping mall.

Rebranded and relocated Fuel Plus has closed and moved to Potong Pasir under the name of Fuelx. You can check their socials for more info. Hopefully burpple updates their map soon.

Pastas Table of 4, wanted to use two 1-for-1 pasta deal but was told by cashier limited to one deal per table. Only saw this term in the 25% off deal. Didnt see such term in the 1-for-1 pasta deal though so just take note if you are going in big groups... using the 25% off would be more worth it. Food was alright... had better ones elsewhere.

Fuel Plus+ Fuel Plus+ delivers a memorable dining experience with its comforting and flavorful dishes, nailing the art of comfort food with a touch of sophistication. The meal began with their Truffle Fries, perfectly crispy from the first bite to the last. These fries were elevated with aromatic truffle oil and delicate cheese shavings—an irresistible snack to kick things off. For the mains, the Roasted Pork Carbonara was a standout. The eggy, cheesy carbonara sauce coated the penne perfectly, with smoky bacon and tender roasted pork adding hearty flavors. Topped with a beautifully cooked sous vide egg and a sprinkle of cheese, this dish was indulgent and satisfying. The Truffle Bacon Pappardelle was equally delightful. Wide ribbons of pappardelle were generously coated in a creamy miso truffle sauce, with crispy bacon and earthy mushrooms adding depth and texture. Each bite was rich yet well-balanced, making this dish a must-try for truffle lovers. Finally, dessert was the highlight of the evening—the Homemade Apple Crumble. This crustless treat paired tender baked apples with juicy blueberries, buttered oats, and a drizzle of salted caramel sauce. Warm, sweet, and satisfying, it was the perfect ending to an indulgent meal.

Restaurant is no longer around Restaurant is no longer around

Burratina Orriechiete Delicious! Portions were good (not too large). I really appreciate their service staff. For this pasta 1-1, we also tried Carbona - it was very creamy and delicious, nice bacon. Easy to make reservations through Burrple/Chope.

Pizza Pancetta E Jalapeno $30++ My favourite pizza because I absolutely love anything with bacon and cheese! What’s even better was the white cream sauce they use instead of tomato sauce as the base sauce for the pizza, which gave the pizza the creamy and cheesy boost on top of the cheese toppings and made the whole pizza so flavourful with the bacon and the chewy pizza crust.

Great service & food Had the Pork Udon with egg and rice with assorted tempura (Kakiage & Snow cream croquette). I like that they provide a few free condiments such as tempura bits & seaweed which you can add to your udon or rice like me to further enhance the meal. Being in a town area, the food here is affordable which explain the queue outside.

Black Garlic Tonkotsu Udon ($12.80) previously I didn't able to try it out but in ramen version. But it's much better than previous trip that I have tried it out. But I felt that their udon was quite hard and not that chewy texture in the past that they used have.

tamoya udon curry udon with beef - my go-to order! always love curry udon because i find that udon noodles always go so well with the slightly sweet/spicy japanese curry, and the beef slices are also such a great pairing. 8/10

1f1 tasting portion Tried the lamb ragu and the mentaiko pasta. We chose the pumpkin Pasta with the ragu sauce but we felt another pasta would have went better with the rich sauce. I love the lamb sausage too with the feta. The mentaiko was nice as usual. We also tried the mushroom soup but it was pretty mid. Very worth work burpple deal!

Tiramisu ($8.90) Small and it was served just in a small container. The alcohol taste was quite strong and the mascarpone was sweet and creamy, but we couldn’t really taste the coffee in it. All in all, average and not memorable.

Ragu ($25.90) with Beetroot Lunghi I thought this would look better but the aesthetic was a bit lacking. The portion was also small and the beef was tough. The beef cubes were flavourful, but very tough (full of tendons that were very tough to bite). The sauce for this was quite watery too and didn’t stick to the beetroot Lunghi well.

Mia Restaurant 4⭐ Back at one of my favourite pasta cafe for dinner. Opt to top up $3 for the handmade tagliatelle and didn't regret it. The tagliatelle is akin to mee pok and yet is much more chewy. The pasta is well coated with the red sauce and is generous with the ingredients which consist of mussel, squid, clam and prawn. WB prefer a non pasta dish hence he had the wagyu burger. There is a choice of doneness for the beef patty and he prefers medium well. The beef patty is juicy and bread is toasted well. WB loves the shoestring french fries which is fried till very crispy. #MiaRestaurant #FruttiDiMare #WagyuCheeseBurger #Entertainersg #Entertainerappsg #HSBCEntertainer

Excellent Pasta Dishes Pasta dishes done well. Enjoyed the crabmeat tomato pasta and the vongole. Very worthwhile with the 1 for 1 deal.

Ayam Rendang Set with Vegetables If you familiar with the oldest Nyonya restaurant in Singapore, then you should know the name of Guan Hoe Soon. Straits Chinese is managed by Guan Hoe Soon Group and has a few outlets here. One of them is located at the second level of Esplanade Mall, serving their authentic Nyonya foods right at the centre of city. Since I came along, so I went for their rice individual set menu. The set comes with a plate of ayam rendang, chap cai and blue pea rice. They are flavourful but not distinctive enough as compared to some Nyonya restaurants I been to unfortunately. Best to come here in group and enjoy more of their dishes.

Overpriced Prawns Ordered the prawns for $20.80 and the serving was only 4 pieces! Also ordered the beef rendang which was quite dry.

Durian Pengat Each diner gets just this small portion. But okay lah it's not the best. It felt a bit not like real durian or not fresh.
