Singapore Food Review

Bosses Restaurant a.k.a 黑社会

Located at Vivo City, passby many times but never have a chance to try it out..here's the small review for my tea time. It looks mysterious outside..when u stepped in..i felt like its the black version deco of Dragon-i..furniture was a bit worn out..the menu was hidden in the left drawer of the table just like 'SOHO' at one u..the menu was sooo worn out..looking at the dim sum menu..not much of choices..i oredered char siu cheong fun, while he ordered Wu Xi fried chicken la mian..the service was poor because they send us the neighbour's dishes for about 4 times! Goodness..the whole restaurant only had about 5 tables can? The Fried chicken chop was a disaster! It was super oily! The noodles texture was acceptable..but the soup was like hot water to me..Cheong fun was suppose to be smooth and thin..but it was as thick as the concrete! We like the Oo long Ginseng tea tho..price was a bit steep for the quality of the food..ranges from $6 for a cheong fun and $14/16 for la mien..i wonder was i too picky or the singaporeans expectations was so low..overall i would not recommend this place.






Hainanese Restaurant @ New 7th Storey Hotel

Had lunch after checking out from the hotel..it was packed during nite time..so we decided to have a try..ordered the famous hainan chicken, fried kangkung and seafood seaweed soup..the restaurant was quite tiny..but cosy..menu was quite familiar to me as most of the dishes were cantonese and some hainanese..tasted very well..love the chicken + rice..yummy...price were quite affordable..about $9 for a plate of chicken in small portion..very malaysian flavour..recommended!







TCC - The Coffee Connoisseur @ Clarke Quay

Were having some drinks for the nite..ordered 'Peach me up!' & 'Tangy Choco' and Choco Mosaic for desserts..love the 'mosaics' ,not too sweet..the peach drink was mediocre..very weird taste..choco drink was ok..with a hint of orange..ambience was ok as it was sunday..so kinda quiet during the nite..good service..






Giraffe Restaurant & Bar @ Istana Park, Dhoby Ghaut

This restaurant is well located at Istana park opposite Plaza Singapura. A very nice building with glass surrounding...deco, lighting were all well..attentive staff..As i did not tasted all the food..so i can't giv a more accurate review on this..as you can see the black paste below was served with baguette as appetiser..bad looking and not much taste..-_-.. as shown are Laksa spaghetti - it was so so..seafood wasn't fresh..Mushroom Fettucini and Garlicky Chicken..the restaurant's menu is such a shame..there're only 12 mains..2 soups and about 3 appetisers to choose from..well i guess it's a good place for drinks..dinner price about $25 per person including drinks.







Hog's Breath Saloon & Grill @ Chijmes

There were quite some good review of this restaurant on the net..decided to giv it a try as Bobby's were pretty crowded that nite...there were outdoor and indoor dining..we chose the latter one of course..cuz we're sweating like mad already...inside was American cowboy-ish deco..wooden table and all.. as it was quite late (abt 10smtg) i decided to have something light..ordered Steak Sandwich - blant taste, cold being served, The Jamaican chicken is even weird..tasted like mango sauce..ew..service was ok...price ranges about $25 per person..steak could cost about $35 above..might not be visiting again..





End of my Singapore food journey.

CP Shrimp wanton




Tried this last month..but actually i bought it 1 month before this...so..let's see..this brand 'CP' is very famous in the microwavable food sold in 7-11 outlets in thailand..well..previously in Thailand i've tried many times of thier green curry rice, honey chicken and last but not least WAN TON! The one in thailand was SO SO fresh and tasty...i guess why malaysian version was a failure its because they sell it in the supermarket and make it 'tahan' longer..thats why the prawn weren't so fresh..i will not recommend this!

Celestial Court @ Imperial Hotel






Above was Ah ma birthday dinner at celestial court on 27 march..we had 'buddha jump wall', Peking duck in 2 styles, fried prawns(huge), kampung taufu,fried abalone with vege, so men a.k.a longevity noodle(for ah ma bd)....i personally like the fresh prawns =)..others was average..Happy Birthday Ah Ma!
