My Review

spicy hot wings   chicken cordon bleu   German  bratwurst and cheese sausage   Seek asylum D'Lover Taste: 5 out of 5 -> Spicy hot wings  (served with garden salad) : 6 pcs in total, served with salad. Can choose to have the sauce on the side for your own dipping and we opted for it. Don't worry if you are not a spicy stuff lover because it ain't that spicy. The sauce felt like assam + tomato (Pardon me if it's not assam). But have it plain without any sauce, the freshly cooked/fried wings is good enough as the wings were served hot and crispy but not too oily. With the sauce, it is a new kind of taste which doesn't burnt the tongue or stomach and still give you plenty of space for your mains. -> German  bratwurst and cheese sausage (served with garden salad and choice of fries/rice or potato salad) : It's hard to go wrong with this dish and their accompanying sauce brings the  German  bratwurst to a better level of t...

Taste : 5 out of 5. -> Tea: I had the usual Earl Grey while my partner went for the 1837 Black Tea. Both tea fragrance smelled great. The tea was smooth and served at the perfect temperature that doesn't burn our tongue. -> Muffins: I am not a muffin lover but we went for the muffins. The chocolate muffin was towards a brownie texture where the chocolate melts in my mouth. The sweetness is well-balanced. I liked it a lot!! The muffins are served with a small servings of their tea jelly and a whipped cream. I finished off the butter/vanilla muffin with the tea jelly. I would HIGHLY recommend their tea jelly! I liked it so much that I immediately purchased a bottle after my high tea. But it is indeed a pricey item (SGD $19 for a bottle) Service : 4.5 out of 5. There is only one person who does the ushering. When seated, the waiters were very efficient. Location : Take the Circle Line and alight at Promenade and head to the basement 2 of The Shoppes at Marina Bay...

Sushi Tei Tamagoyaki (Can't remember the exact name to it) Taste : 5 out of 5. Tamagoyaki - This is one of the basic Japanese dish that SHOULD NEVER go wrong AND it didn't go wrong so yeah. This is nice! Potato Coquette - This is one of the basic Japanese snacks which can hardly go wrong (unless served cold). Chicken Don: The sweet sauce quantity was proportional to the rice and ingredients. Meat is soft and quantity is enough to cover the bowl.. (but the bowl is not very big). Tasted even better with Shichimi (7 flavor chili pepper) Tempura Don: This was during the period where I was SOOOoo into tempura don. The portion is decent but not recommended for the big eater unless with side dishes. The sweet sauce quantity was proportional to the rice and tempura. The tempura items was enough to go with the rice. The tempura was crispy on the outside, and the thickness/meat still retain it's fragrance and of the right texture. Service: 5 out of 5. So far, S...

Cross Bridge Vermicelli  Szechuan Chilli Chicken Cube Pumpkin with salted egg york Taste: 4.5 out of 5. -> Cross Bridge Vermicelli : There were different  sets to choose from. We opted for the one with vegetable and meat. The noodle seemed like the thick rice noodle while I was expecting the thin version. The bowl was huge and the soup was hot, but not piping hot... (I want it to be piping hot).  It was bland with a lot of vegetables. Didn't add any condiment since our side dishes was spicy. ->Szechuan Fried Chicken Cube: Lived up to it's name. It is spicy. Compliments well with the vermicelli. -> Pumpkin with salted egg york: It was a bit soggy when served. Not sure if it's meant to be. Can taste the pumpkin and a bit of salted egg. Portion seemed a bit too little (for me since I am a big eater) Service: 5 out of 5. The waitress was very detail in the orders. She checked with us if we wanted the vermicelli set to be served with everythi...

Location : Refer to the description below the pictures   Mango Bingu -  Chicken Up  @ Jurong East MRT Taste: 5 out of 5. Served with whipped cream, it doesn't look like what is shown in their picture. BUT, the finely shaved ice is great. Melts in the mouth and no lumpy ice. A pity it was mango with whipped cream, mango chunks and mango syrup. But for the price, what's more can I ask for. Service: 4.5 out of 5.   For this Bingsu, it was fast unlike my subsequent visit at Chicken Up.  Location : Located at the 1st floor of Jurong East MRT station. Cost : $3.50 @ Qoo10 discount   Mango Bingu -  JIJIM @ Westgate Basement Taste: 4 out of 5. Wanted to impress someone with the fine shaved ice. Had my expectation up since I tried the bingsu @ Chicken Up. However, it wasn't as good. There were still small lumps of ice and it was a bit too sweet. Apart from the shaved ice, there were a scoop of mango ice cream and a lot of m...

Location : Tim Ho Wan @ Westgate What I ordered Signature Char Siew Pork Bun Braised Beancurd Every month special: Salt and Pepper Dory Fish Fillet  Osmanthus with Wolfberries Jelly  Taste:  5 out of 5  (Excellent). Everything served are hot (except the dessert which is supposed to be cold). Taste just right. Serving is good for me since my dining partner is a small eater. Service:  4.5 out of 5. The staffs are fast and their dish serving is quick.  Location:  Alight at Jurong East Mrt and proceed to the 1st level of Westgate. Cost:  Around SGD $30+ for the above. Must know :  There are many outlets apart from Westgate. Find them here . They have a special menu which featured seasonal dishes which changes every month.  When it first open in Singapore, the queue is terribly long. So.. Order takeaways! But the price is different from the dine in menu and not all items at the dine in menu are availabl...
