Royal Copenhagen

Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge

Level 2, Takashimaya Shopping Centre

This is a very good place to sit and drink and chat and eat the pastries and have an overview of the busy Orchard Road. We went to this place a few times but its always full, perhaps its weekend? Anyway, they allow reservation. =)

The food served here looks and taste good. We took pics of the food we ordered:

Appetizer (set dinner):

Norweigen Fish & Chips:

Main Course for the Set dinner:

Dessert: Caramel Egg Pudding

The fish and chips is really nice, served with cut potato chips..

Dumpling & Ramen House

(@ Bugis Village)

Spinach Beancurd with H***** Mushroom :($8)

Steamed Juicy Meat Bun: ($6)
Ramen with Minced Pork & Mushroom:($6)
Shanghai Styled Fried Flat noodle: ($12.8)
The food here is quite nice. The Ramen with Minced Pork & Mushroom taste a little different from what we usually find in places like 'crystal jade'. Its a little tomato flavoured, some will like while some won't. =) The Shanghai styled fried flat noodle is nice and flavourful, but a little steep-priced as there is only chicken meat. The beancurd is nice, it taste like self-made type of tofu, not what we can find over the shelf. Overall, the food is not bad. The food price is quite high, what we ordered few of the cheapest dishes.. =) It is still categorised as a one-timer restaurant by us. If we really want to eat the Juicy meat bun, or la mian, we can always go to the Crystal Jade, Imperial Palace or Ding Tai Fung with very similar prices..

店小二--Dian Xiao Er

店小二

Its the first time we write about Chinese food. Well, 店小二 is quite uniquely furnished and the waiters and waitresses are dressed in ancient time uniform. Cool! haha

We term such a restaurant a one-timer restaurant, one that you will not really go for a 2nd visit. The food do taste good, however, we feel that for the price they are charging, we rather find nice '煮炒‘ elsewhere which serve similar standard food and with more varieties. =)

Soup: Old Style Fish ($12)

Luo Han Zai:

Mongolian Ribs ($10.80)


Not forgetting this, they do have 'Early Bird Discount' of 12% before 6pm. If you are given the
元宝 upon arriving，as shown in the pic below, you are entitled to the discount. =)

Jack's Place

Jack's Place
Steak House & Restaurant

(For all locations, check out http://www.jacksplace.com.sg/restaurant/singapore.html)

Lobster Soup:

'Duck breast mandarine Salad':

Escargot:

Spring Chicken Set:

Rib-Eye:

Apple Crumbler:

The food is generally nice. Having tried steaks from so many places, including those so-called expert steakhouse, none is as satisfying as Jack's Place. We have rather given up on the hope of eating nice, or i should say edible steak. So now, whenever we crave for steak, we will head to Jack's Place. The price from Jack's Place is decent and affordable too. =)

WaKaShaChiYa - Curry Udon Place...

WaKaShaChiYa

6 Eu Tong Sen St S(059817)

The Central #03-92/95

Tel: 65349984

Everytime we go to the Central, we will walk around to browse through the restaurants located on the 2nd and 3rd storeys. Everytime we came to stand outside this WaKaShaChiYa, we will look through the menu (even if we have seen it like at least 3 times), and eventually walk away to another restaurant. The main reason is the very little variety in the range of food they serve. They serve mainly Curry Udon, with various types of toppings. But somehow if you are not a curry udon fan, you will hesitate, like us.

Anyway, we made the very first move and we tried their food finally. Haha...Well, the food is not bad really. Unless you love Curry Udon, else you will go back very once in a while. =)

Below are the dishes that we ordered:

Unagi Udon Chilled/Hot: $18.80

Curry Udon (without topping): $12.50

Tebasaki Moriawase (3 flavours chickenwings): $10.00

Note:

Its always ok to try new food! =)

Wasabi Tei

Wasabi Tei

Far East Plaza #05-70

Phone: 62388216

This is a place, a very small place, where there is always a queue. You may need to wait for about 45minutes before you can take a seat in the cozy little space.

Food editor # 1 and #2 like the Unagi Set as well as their mixed sashimi Don. Its like 'if not this then that' kind of order. Oh ya, their Chawanmushi is also very satisfying with alot of ingredients. =)

Appetizer (Sometimes, this may change to another dish)

Main Dishes..

Unagi SetBeef Set

Sashimi & MekaJiki...

Point to Note:

The food produced by the Chef is great. HOwever, you must be prepared to take his 'shit'. A bit crude here, but just be aware of his 'PMS' attitude. He can be very fierce and don't really give face to even the customer. =)
