All festive buffet options include unlimited chilled juices, soft drinks, coffee and tea. Dinners include an additional complimentary glass of festive welcome drink.
The service at Lime Restaurant was delightful.
Considering the spread of food, bottomless coffee and tea, and the classy ambience, the price is immensely worth paying for.
Taikoo Lane Hotpot Review: Chinatown Point
A food blog from a Singapore-based traveler
BOTAN is a good place to mix food and alcohol.
I can’t wait to find friends who love Japanese food so that I could be back to Botan Japanese Restaurant soon.
Eating at Song Fa Bak Kut Teh Chinatown Point is not exactly a cheap option. However, it is air-conditioned and a comfortable spot to enjoy good old Teochew Style bak kut teh and a variety of side dishes.
Song Fa Bak Kut Teh (Originally at Clarke Quay) has opened a second branch at Chinatown Point! Yes, there are still queues at this one, but the perk is that it’s in aircon and more modern surrounds.
Now, the butter wasn't very rich, and the coffee itself was rather acidic (I only drank half of the cup).
There is service at the tables, whereas a self-service system is practiced at other outlets, making use of the buzzers.
I can never get enough of kaya and french toasts! I would not proclaim I lurvee them but they make satisfactory breakfast. My only complain is that the slices at Ya Kun are too small, one plate is not enough to to fill me up.
Food at Yin Ji is focused on Chinese Cantonese cuisine, particularly changfen / chee cheong fun / steamed rice rolls. With a wide variety of filling options, the humble but versatile dish is elevated here. Congee is the other star attraction. Portions are sized for individuals. Prices are wallet-friendly for everyday dining, budget about SGD $10 per person.
Service at Yin Ji is efficient but transactional. Staff interaction is limited to ordering over the counter, and as a result, not much menu knowledge is displayed.
The more I chew the fried dough and the cheong fun, the more tasty it seemed? Hahhaha! But my favourite from this shop is still the tender beef egg roll.
The best part is that you can eat it in 2 ways and you can enjoy hotpot after that.
We thought it is worth trying the Q Fish dry pot since Qi Lai Feng is the sole restaurant that offer this unique item. And having it dry first and next as hotpot is a bonus.
For zi char lovers with big stomachs, Lai Huat Signatures is definitely a value-for-money place to consider visiting.
Hyang Yeon is definitely worth visiting at lunchtime.
The mango flavoured ice cream that came with their desserts was not bad though.
The new Hui Lau Shan outlet in Singapore is going to be located in Chinatown Point.
For a fuss-free dining experience, and affordable yet good ramen, I really recommend Kaneta Shoten. Just take note of their break times, which happens from 3pm to 5pm on weekdays.
The dining area is pleasant and the service is great. Although the menu is not extensive, the food is of good quality and the prices are reasonable. Kaneta Shoten is one the best places for casual dining in Chinatown Point.
On the first look, Kaneta Shoten seems quite promising, and I will probably return to try the broth versions.
The tendon at Kohaku was still good, but I thought they were nicer when we first tasted them at Suntec.
The flesh was springy and lovely to bite into, as well. In short, this was simply seafood haven, and I was happy to have tried it.
The good Thai food and the smiles and the jovial chatter of the Thai staff provided a perfect anti-dote to Chinatown Point lunchtime stress.
In a nutshell, for such as price point, I wouldn’t complain for the quality and standard Bowl Thai offered.
They seriously don't salt their meat at all.
At Gochi-So Shokudo, the pork rice bowl would probably be the best way to enjoy the the premium grade meat.
I'm normally torn between their laksa, chicken cutlet or curry chicken.
The food was fine, but my cheap-bastard-hack of not paying for dipping sauces had its limits: it took a while for me to coax the taste of pork and vegetables into the plain water, and I still had to spike it with sodium from my selected mala broth.
My favourite dish from this place is the Menbosha (fried shrimp toast). Well fried to a golden brown, crisp outer and doesn't feel oily. Flavourful.
A cocktail of convenient location, affordable pricing and customisability is a recipe for success.
I'm not a huge coffee person, Bulletproof or otherwise. But we were at an outlet of Ya Kun this afternoon, and it turned out that they were willing to make butter kopi. Now, the butter wasn't very rich, and the coffee itself was rather acidic (I only drank half of the cup). But it made for an interesting picture.
Tapasta Bar would be a good spot for those looking for a spot for the after-work chillout, as well as a decent spot for a quiet catch-up over the weekends considering its location that primarily serves the office crowds on weekdays.
