    Pasta de Waraku

    Went to the new outlet at Iluma. Except for the F&B shops, I think the rest will not last more than 2 years. Please prove me wrong.

    Royal China - Dim Sum lunch in Tiffany style

    This much-ravelled Chinese restaurant has recently been refurbished, with the most distinctive change being the tiffany-blue interior. But don't shy away thinking it's gonna burn a hole in your wallet like it will buying Tiffany jewellery. If you are looking for value-for-money dim sum, head down to Royal China at Raffles Hotel. 

       

     

    Har Gow - fresh shrimp meat wrapped in translucent skin, best eaten within a minute it arrives on your table!

      

    Char Siew Sou - Chinese pastry with Char Siew filling. Very light crust and baked to perfection. Best I've had so far.

     

    Royal China Cheong Fun - Enjoy all 3 kinds (char siew, prawn & scallop) of cheong fun in one order!

     

    Siew Mai - Steamed chicken meat topped with fragrant mushrooms and ebiko roe.

     

    Steamed Phoenix Claws - Chicken feet painstakingly fried then steamed in black bean sauce.

      

    Steamed bun with Mango and salted egg-yolk - Don't imagine, just try it!

     

    Crispy Egg Tarts - Crust is soooo crispy...only complaint is...it's too small!!! Give me a GIANT egg tart!

     

    Shark's fin dumpling in superior stock - Good but not fantastic, especially when I found crab stick meat in the dumpling. How can they use such an ingredient???

      

    Cream of Pumpkin with black glutinous rice & coconut ice cream - delightful dessert...but the black glutinous rice is too little isn't it?

    Anyway, all these only cost you about $25 per pax, if you have a bigger group I'm sure you will be able to try more dim sum items and lower the cost. UOB credit card gets 10% discount! Remember, you MUST make a reservation in advance. Lunch is till 2pm, last order around 2.30pm.

    Ichiban Sushi @ PS

    Affordable set meals with generous portions.

    No studying @ Coffee Bean?

    Was at the Downtown East outlet enjoying my Mini-Oreo Cheesecake and the new Warm Choc Cake when I stumbled upon a sign that says 'No Studying'. Ironically, the sign was placed amongst textbooks, stationery and calculators... how effective (duh)
     
      

    Ken's Noodles - Japanese Ramen

    For a moment, I thought the ramen shop has shut its doors for good. Only to realise that it has changed the main entrance to the side door. And you know what, I don't think the swine flu has affected the business cuz it was rather crowded lor... I would have this even if the country goes on black alert =p
