Cityhall/Bugis

If you are craving for quality chinese dishes, head to @suhanggourmet !

Located in the heart of Bugis, Suhang Xiangban 苏杭湘伴 is the spot for authentic Chinese food. Their menu features signature dishes from Jiangsu, Hunan, and Sichuan cuisines!

Here is what we got:
-Homestyle signature farm-style stir fried pork
-Homemade shredded cabbage
-Cherry Tomatoes in Lychee Sauce
-Signature Sichuan Yummy Chicken

The stir fry pork was nicely marinated! The sichuan sichuan chicken was soo tender! The cherry tomatoes in lychee sauce was quite a special cold dish item! It had a slight chewy texture, almost jelly gummy like, totally different from what you will expect as a cherry tomato! Try it out!

Korean food is my comfort food!

Was recommended by a friend to check out this place: Hyang-to-gol Korean Restaurant at Raffles City basement!

Food items we got:
-Marinated BBQ Pork Set ($15.50++)
-Skewer Fishcake Odeng Soup ($14++)
-Soybean Paste Stew with Seafood ($18.50++)
-Seafood Pancake ($20++)

The food were all served piping hot! The seafood pancake had clams and prawns in it! Was pleasantly surprised by the presence of clams, as typically korean restaurant use prawns with squid insted? The soybean paste stew was actually quite spicy, though it was not mentioned in the description that it will be spicy (there is another soup option that is spicy beancurd soup with seafood for $18++). BBQ meat portions were huge, however I would have preferred if they have spicy bbq pork option too!

Ah Chew Dessert used to be my favourite Chinese Dessert Stall in Singapore.

Visited recently, and somehow, the desserts don't satisfy me anymore..

We got the following items:
-Hot Yam Paste ($3.50)
-Black Glutinuous Rice with Mixed Tang Yuan ($3.30 + $1.50)

Firstly, the portion sizes seems to have reduced for the yam paste. Secondly, the gingko nuts is chopped and blended all around in the yam paste, which is not to my preference, since I love yam paste that is pure, without gingko! So my satisfaction of the bowl was greatly reduced.

And since I love to order warm orh nee yam paste at Chinese dessert stalls, guess I will be patronising other stalls in future when looking for dessert places!

Back at Taan Asian Grill Bar!

Here is what we ordered:
-Grilled Mentaiko Salmon
-Grilled Surume Ika Squid
-Enoki Mushroom wrapped with Pork Belly in Teriyaki flavour
-Japanese Eel Fried Rice

The unagi fried rice is my fav carbs items here! The grilled squid was soft and tender!

Peranakan Buffet at Sun's Cafe!

First time here! First impression is that the buffet line is not extensive.

My favourite item at this buffet was the Yam Rice, which comes with yam, mushrooms, sausages and some meat.

The have live cooking noodle stations - Mee Rubus and Nyonya Lemak Laksa. However, both were not to my liking.

For soup, there is cream of mushroom soup or pig stomach soup.

The exciting part of this buffet is you can make your own rojak here! (Tip: Go to the dessert station and get the pineapple cubes from the fruit table to add it into the rojak! Hehe, I did this, because I didn't really eat the other fruits at the rojak stations - apple, mango, starfruit, cucumber and pear.

While I am usually a HUGE fan of kueh pie tee here.. I ate one of their kueh piee tee and just stopped there. The cooked vegetable fillings had a funny taste to me.

You can also DIY your own ice kachang or iced chendol here, but taste wise, not fantastic

Overall quite an average buffet. However, there is an ongoing 1 for 1 promo now (original price is $60++ per pax for fri-sun lunch/dinner) if anyone wants to try it out for yourself.

You know the food is good when I am back at Tangled Pasta in less than 3 days!

This time round, I got the Smoky Ducky Pasta ($9.90). I was quite surprised that this time round the pasta sauce and pasta + ingredients were separated! This is great since the pasta shop is a takeaway concept! First time I see a pasta shop separating the pasta from pasta sauce! Kudos! (I think this is only done for the pasta items that have saucy pasta sauce! For the aglio olio kind, there is no mixture to separate from so it is all packed together)!

And again, I was impressed the pasta! It was totally the pasta sauce again which makes the pasta bowl nice! Spicy tomato sauce. This bowl comes with smoked duck, almond flakes and cranberries!

Have walked past Tangled (Fresh Pasta To Go) countless times when at Bugis Junction.. finally tried it recently! Have been attracted by their very interesting pasta choice that is shown in their display cabinet!

They have around 9 pasta choices here or you can also build your own pasta! Since it was my first visit, I decided to try out their signature pasta bowls first!

Ordered the Mango Tango ($10.90)! Squid ink spaghetti aglio olio with prawns and mango salsa. Picked this because I thought the edition of mangos to pasta was quite refreshing and wanted to try it out.

Did not expect the pasta to be mind-blowing, but I turned out to quite like it! The spaghetti aglio olio sauce was SO GOOD! It is slightly spicy! The combination of aglio olio + prawns + mango all went well together! Pastas also didnt stick up too much even though I only consumed them 20mins later.
