This japanese restaurant serves a wide variety of jap dishes and many different yakitori! The food served are pretty tasty and nice. The price may be slightly higher compared to other restaurants, but i think its pretty worth it. I’ve been there a few times and definitely will go back again!

02 Apr 2010 Return to Sun with Moon & Max Brenner!

Its been a couple of years since i went to Sun with moon, a nice japanese restaurant, for a meal. The last time was with the wonderful TS gang and this time, surprise surprise, its with them again! haha. This time, however, we headed to the one at Chijmes! Why? ‘Cos, they are offering 30% off your meals over at that outlet!!

When we reached Chijmes, we were unfamiliar with the layout and we wondered abt searching high and low for the restaurant. We saw a Jap lady who seemed to be lost too. Steph said “She must be looking for Sun w/ moon, lets follow her”. I was thinking “What are the odds of a Jap lady in Singapore, food paradise, having Jap food again? boooorrrring!” So I took her on and bet with her a drink. Need i say more, who lost the bet? What the heck? You come all the way to Singapore and you still stick with japanese food? Go try something else for petes sake.

Anyways, 6 of us and we spent S$100 bucks only! The food we ordered were done nicely and we enjoyed the food. We wanted to order desserts, but the selection is very limited and the portions really small. So, we headed somewhere else for dessert.

This time we really walked north south east west for a nice place to have dessert. We first headed to Killiney cafe at Raffles city, but there were no available seats. Nearby there was Shokudo, but the queue was too long. We headed up to MOF, but steph said the standard there is not too good. We went to Citi-link next to look for Waraku, but realised it has changed to some hong kong cafe. Finally, we settled down at Max Brenner at Esplanade mall. You can imagine how relieved we were.

Chocolate Haven, i must say. Stepping into the place and the cocoa aroma lingers around you. Their selection is pretty wide and thus spoiled for choices. As you can see from the last 4 photos, 6 of us shared 3 desserts and had a cup of chocolaty drink each! Sounds little? You are so wrong!! We almost died from overdose of chocolate. haha. I ordered a Peanut butter chockie. It was like drinking plain peanut butter down! Lovely initially, killer at the end. I suggest you share it with some friends. We ordered the truffle which is very good and the chocolate banana crepe is nice too! Oh you can purchase their glass cup too, which looks quite nice. Their small fondue set can be bought too. Enjoy!

Happy Good Friday to all!!

Cheers,

Donovan

26 Mar 2010 Thai Village Restaurants

Hey there! Since we touched on Goodwood, allow me to introduce to you, if you dun already know, Thai Village Sharkfins Restaurant. The outlet i went to was, as you may already guessed, beside Goodwood Park Hotel!

I am a diver and a lover of the ocean, so as much as i m setting such a bad example, please avoid eating sharks’ fins. The cruelty of obtaining the fins and leaving the sharks to bleed to death is ruthless and unpardonable.

Ok, so lets say if you will die if u do not eat shark fins, head on down to Thai Village Sharkfins Restaurant and look forward to an array of wonderful seafood treats. The food range from abalone to crabs to prawns and many more! The main highlight is definitely the big bowl of sharkfins. The fins are succulent and smooth and it comes in a huge chunk, you can truly appreciate savouring it. Its cooked in a tasty broth which i am sure you will slurp up with the mushrooms and all. The braise superior sharkfins comes in S$60/90/120. The one in the picture is 60 dollars.

The crab beehoon is also done up nicely and is really tasty. The bake crab with vermecilli is priced at S$28/42/56. Seafood lovers will have a great time there! Price may be a bit expensive, but its worth it! Enjoy!

Location: Beside Goodwood Park Hotel @ Scotts Road

Enjoy

PS: My 5 star ratings states that i want to eat it everyday, BUT because of the cruelty of obtaining sharkfins, i will refrain from it! But do check out the other food, which are very nice too!

23 Mar 2010 Bak Kut Teh @ Toa Payoh

Toa payoh is food galore! Coffee shops all over! Restaurants everywhere! Food outlets scattered around! A 5 mins walk from the bus interchange will bring you to this small restaurant called “Pin jia”. The Bak Kut Teh served here is not too bad. We bought the intestines too, which i found a bit expensive. If you are around the corner you can check it out.

Cheers,

07 Oct 2009 Sushi Tei

This is another restaurant i love to patronise. The food served are always nice to savour! The crab fried rice which i bought is really tasty and the crab meat is fresh and succulent! Yum! The green tea cold soba’s texture is nice and smooth. Dip it into the sauce and slurp it down ur throat! Careful not to choke! The tempura, unagi and chicken were really good too! Haven been to Sushi Tei?? Head down now!

This time round we headed to the one at Paragon, Orchard Road, Singapore.

Itadakimasu!

07 Oct 2009 Long Beach Dinner Set

I’ve been always praising Long Beach’s food, we decided to order a dinner set this time round to celebrate my granny’s bday! However, not all the dishes were great. I guess, it better to choose individually the dishes you want to eat! The seafish, prawns and steam fish were really good. The crab they served was salted egg style, but its no where as good as the crab specialist’s one at Choa chu kang, SIngapore. The noodles were not up to standard too. But overall, we still enjoyed the meal! Its LONG BEACH after all! haha.

Yum Seng!

18 Sep 2009 Tung Lok Seafood Arena

Tung Lok has a chain of restaurant all around. Tung Lok Seafood Arena is the one at Jurong. It was my first time there and so happened they had a wedding dinner there! They asked if we do not mind giving the couple a red packet (chinese tradition to give a red packet with money inside) and join them for the wedding dinner! haha. Nono, thats not it. They asked if we are fine with dining in a small room by the side of the restaurant. We, being easy-going peeps, said yes!

We ordered stir-fried kang kong, deer meat, claypot seabass and a plate of steam prawns. We wanted to order crabs, but that day they were all sold out! But, its alright the fish and especially the prawns made up for it. The prawns were super tasty and fresh and nice with the complementing steam egg and sauce. Perfect! I highly recommend the prawns.

Oh the Luo Han Guo Tea is free flow! If you intend to hold your wedding there, do invite me!!! =D

11 Sep 2009 LaConcorde Le Plat

I love French cuisine! Simply terrific! I know, i seem to love everything! I count my blessings to be able to enjoy the good food all around! When we were at Paris, we stopped by this restaurant. They served some bread and escargot(snails) for appetizer. The main course was rooster meat and potatoes. Ended the meal with an assortment of cheese and a sweet caramel cake. I really enjoy eating escargots! Here, they cooked them really well and the sauce that they use is really tasty! I did not waste a single drop of it. I used the bread to wipe the sauce dry! haha.

Rooster meat is not too bad. The marinate they use is good. The last picture is foie gras (pronounced /fwɑːˈɡrɑː/ in English) (Fah Gwah). Its not from the restaurant. We got it from the a supermarket. They had a wide selection and we wanted to eat on the spot so we ordered this chunk of fat goose liver! I love the taste and texture of it! Its really unique! However, trying it once is okay, but we should keep eating them due to the cruelty behind making foie gras. They actually force feed the goose to make their liver fat! Oh my, can you imagine me force feeding you till ur liver becomes fat and delicious?? Alright enough said, enjoy the fotos!

Bon appetit!
