🏃🏻‍♀️ Had a casual run along the Central promenade at night - warm temperature and some breeze to calm myself and clear the mind 🌃🌬️ Headed to IFC for AC afterwards, on the bridge you see the observation wheel somewhere behind the trees. How nice the shop is just few steps behind the door at the edge of the bridge and next to the WC for some toilet breaks if needed.🕰️ Order Time: 20:15🍑 Peach Oolong Tea + mousse (half sugar 50%, less ice) [蜜桃烏龍奶蓋] ($42)Since it was late at night, not many people in the mall. The shop assistant asked if we want to try sth new / newly launched. That’s why this peachy drink, and seems not on the menu yet~A refreshing drink right after exercising - really cooling me down. Like to crew that bit of crushed peach at the bottom and the rich milky mousse.🍍 Phoenix Snow Frost (pineapple soup + fresh milk + mousse + crispy cookies) (fixed sugar and ice) [鳳來雪霜] ($46)Very strong flavour of pineapple (for sure lol), some crushed pineapple at the bottom as well. Good to have enough sweet to compensate lost sugar in sweat.*The shop assistant said this pineapple series will cease soon, so gonna be quick if still wanna try.…Read More

🕰️ Dining hrs: 8-10:15pm on a weekend night👤 2paxA very affordable tasting menu w/ all kinds of meat of fine quality (🐓🐖🐄), a comfortable and slightly romantic environment to chill and chat. Very nice staff who kept filling our glasses. Really appreciate they have an icon indicating various allergies and diets. 🥜🦐Tasting Menu- 🍆 Ensaladang Talong (eggplant) - Eggplant mixed with green mango salad gives a fresh flavour and a bit of texture - great way to start the meal- 🐷 Inihaw na Baboy - pork w/ mango salsa balance the BBQ flavour extremely well- 🐮 Kare-Kareng Baka (beef) - crispy tripe in thick peanut sauce is really unique- 🐷 Sizzling Sisig (pork & little chicken) - indulgent (w/ all kinds of fats), but that’s why it smells and tastes great lol- 🐔 Inasal na Manok - vinegar dip on the chicken leg elevates it to another level- Garlic Rice- 🥭🍰 Mango Graham Float (dessert) - fresh and layered, nice contrast of crunchy and soft (mango and cream)- 🚬 Naked & Infamous (cocktail) - a smokey flavour- 🍹Four Seasons (mocktail) - tropical and fresh, not too sweet ‘cause it is on rock 🧊Wish I knew Filipino food taste this great earlier!*10% service charge applies…Read More

🕰️ 7-8:30pm👥 pax: 2 comfy environment with clean and quiet environment. Good for small group / couples to chat.We ordered the dinner set for two - picked risotto and steak, and gelato (sticky rice cake flavour) for dessert which is a unique flavour. The steak was really tender and delicious. Another option for dessert was chocolate banana cake 🍰Really great value for money 💰Would definitely come back again~ One minor point is that it is located slightly away from main street and amongst industrial buildings.…Read More

🤩 Revisiting ‘cause really like the vibe~ this time DJ was playing & mixing mainly 90s-00s American pop.***This is “herb-grilled rack of lamb (half, medium) - got 4pcs, love them being tender and soft 🐑 Delicious even not adding extra sauce or salt 😋***Iced caramel latte used foam instead of those filling cream, so it wouldn’t be too sweet or too dense. 🧡🤎***Oh and congrats they won the Openrice awards - gold award for American restaurant, and silver award for restaurant & bar 🏅…Read More

🕰️ Dining Hour: 20:45-21:25 👤 1paxA boutique shop in the heart of the city. 🌃 Appreciate it opens till late (written 06:00 on OP).

Like the spacious seats and neat decor theme. Very impressed to see sockets and USB charging plugs in a restaurant 🥩 Beef tenderloin (stir-fry) w/ teriyaki sauce 🎏 (set C)Had a dinner set. Surprised how thick and tender the pieces are - nth close to overcooked, esp. for a cha chaan teng standard. Rice isn’t soft too 👍🏼🥣 Chinese soup (pork + carrots) & hot passion fruit w/ aloe veraAlways go for Chinese soup in a cha chaan teng~The drink has a lot of aloe vera, and don’t have to worry about being too sourSome menus~…Read More

Spacious resto with pretty decor.Staff were generally quite absent-minded and provided poor service. Eg.1 we asked for 2 bowls but gave us 1 only. Eg. 2 we asked if we could take an extra chair for placing our bags, the waiter just said, “no” and wanted to walk away. If it wasn’t us asking if there was any basket, he would just leave us there.Yet, have to say a waitress was nice enough to keep filling our glasses with water.For food quality, fair to say pad thai and thai milk tea in rose flavour were good. But the fried morning glory was way too salty and the rice paper rolls with avocado mango and soft crab meat was horrible; avocado - no show, mango, super tiny piece that there was slight flavour of it only, soft crab meat - not crispy at all, felt like prepared for quite a while before being served.Worst part is, my friend and I had diarrhoea when home. So, never again to this place! 😠…Read More

🕰️ Dining hrs: 8:30-9:45pmAfter a hard workout, I just want sth healthier but tasty, at the same time with protein. This shop has food choices of cha chaan teng and noodle shop. Many attentive staff here too.Seaweed soup 🥣 w/ abundant seaweed~ 💚Drunken chicken 🐔🍶👍🏼Strong taste of wine since the chicken is warm.Pork dumpling in chili sauce 🥟🌶️😂 Bigger portion than I thought, around 10pcs.

🕰️ Dining hrs: 8-10:15pm on a weekday night👤 2paxA petit restaurant with relaxing setting - 2 choices of seats - bar table or tatami mats.Tamgo Kake Gohan (the sunset over Mt. Fuji series)- Mentalko Octopus w/ Hokkaido Scallop ($138) 🐙- Crab Miso Shell w/ Salmon Roe ($138) 🦀Very cute plating - soft-boiled egg in the center of egg white foam on top on a blue rice mountain. So yummy I could eat the whole “mountain” just by this mixture LOL Seafood are all fresh and tender. Both dishes have crab roe, crab stick, goma wakame (seaweed salad), corns, cube-sized veggie in sesame sauce.We upgraded to a set at $58 for daily snack (shrimp cake), drink & daily dessert (tiramisu).We ordered two tofu-related drinks. Both drinks have real tofu in the bottom layer.🤍Tofu Latte☕️ slightly bitter for the top coffee layer, but the taste is neutralised by the tofu sweetness. Personally like this more than the other drink.🍵Matcha Tofu Latte (w/o coffee)🥛 more sweet than bitter due to the mixture of tofu and milk.*10% service charge applies…Read More

🕰️ Dining Hour: 20:30-21:45 👤 1pax🇰🇷 Korean idols everywhere!🔥Have to say, quite packed on a weekday night. Heard people sitting around sharing their experiences with various Korean idols - this café is probably very popular among the enthusiasts and a nice place to be surrounded by your favourite idols~Few eye-catching fusion options or unique combinations.😋Can also pick a main and upgrade to a set. One interesting add-on is all-you-can-eat cakes ($28).My pick: +$66 corn soup + daily cake + beveragePasta “Aglio e Olio” w/ Clams and Soft Shell Crab ($138) 🧡💛🌶️蒜香辣椒蜆肉意大利粉配軟殼蟹Crunchy crab didn’t disappoint 🦀 The main part didn’t fail “aglio e olio” (garlic & oil) 😂 lots of garlic and oil (of course) and sesame and clams - already smelt really good. I requested less spicy, so slightly bit of chillies too.Corn Soup 🌽Corn soup itself is sweet~Topped with some savoury furikake (Japanese rice seasoning) to enrich the flavours.Tiramisu 🤎💛Soft and smooth, bitter and sweet~Some dried rose petals, crunchy crunches and oats. 🤤 so yummy, couldn’t get enough of it. Now I regretted I didn’t get the all-you-can-eat dessert add-on 🙂‍↕️Choco Coconut Coffee (Affogato) 🤍🤎😚 Very generous to give 2 scoops of ice cream and of different flavours! One coconut, one chocolate chips~ I like both, but personally favour the coconut one more. I wanted my coffee have stronger coconut flavour, so I enjoy half of the choco chip ice cream as another dessert 🍨 before pouring the coffee into the glass. ☕️ Not your usual affogato 😉👍🏼Want to compliment the staff for constantly filling the glass if when it becomes empty.*10% service charge applies…Read More

🕰️ Dining Time: 19:00-20:00👤 Pax: 2The restaurant does look like in all those photos with fancy decorations. We were led to a high sofa table with big screen showing the Olympic Games, which was perfect. They gave us complimentary nuts in a cute bath tub container.For dinner, we ordered the 2 prepaid sets on Openrice - Delmonico Steak (Australia M3 Wagyu Rib Eye) + a glass of wine $287/pax (service fee excluded).Wine came first; we had red and white wine respectively. Taste was so so; my friend didn’t even finish her glass!We both ordered medium for steak, but quite disappointed to see it was more medium-well or well done. Side dish included a slightly overcooked asparagus and 2 undercooked carrots and some other items. Taste was alright - rosemary plus few cooked garlic paired with gravy sauce.Apologies for not showing any pics as we didn’t have the mood to take any. Great place for photos, but definitely don’t expect high food quality (for the price we paid).…Read More
