7月7日 Jade at FullertonThis GSS is by far the one with most dining promotions from big-name restaurants and 5-star hotels.
At Jade, the weekend dim sum buffet is going for $28++ per pax. The ala carte buffet menu has over 50 items including dim sum (without saying), appetizers, special dishes and rice/noodles. Tea is included, so be sure to order the exquisite Long Jing tea, it's much much nicer than those black teas like Pu'er, Tie Guan Ying etc.
Well, as for the quality of the food, it's so-so only. Probably I came with too high an expectation. In total, the 2 of us ordered less than 20 items, hence I would recommend that you go in a group of 3 since most of the items come in 3s.
Sorry for some 'noisy' pics due to the poor lighting as I inadvertently switched to ISO 1600.

 And the last dish (what an irony...) is soup of the day, which is well-boiled. Don't really know what soup it is, although the waitress mentioned something like "apple". 7月4日 Club ChinoisI will usually bring along my handy Lumix digicam wherever I go. You see, as it is not a compact camera, it does free up some weight off my barang barang. Plus the fact that of late nothing has caught my eye to take pics with...I decided to take a risk and leave home without my camera. I was made to rue this decision one day when we settled for dinner at Club Chinois, a Western-Chineses fusion restaurant under the Tung Lok Group. Hence, I had to take pics using my back-up phone camera. The ambience is quite nice (classy and dim) and I would highly recommend this place for people who are trying to impress their dates. Ask for the tables with high-back chairs situated at corners for added privacy =) But I must say that you must have patience for good food, as my orders came after some 20 to 30 minutes wait. Even plain steamed rice requires 5 minutes!
Steamed Lobster Bisque in Young Coconut ($18) - Delicious! With chunky pieces of lobster meat and a big scallop.
