I think this is our first time at Hansang for dinner rather than lunch. We not only had that budaejjigae above, but also both kurobuta and wagyu on the grill. The service was engaging and the food was fine, but my preference is still for Go! K-BBQ, both for food and price reasons.

We returned to Tunglok Teahouse to try some Dim Sum and enjoy ourselves. It’s not Dim Sum without Har Gow, Siew Mai, Xiao Long Bao and Spinach Dumplings. All fresh and well done.
My son loves automated serving, like a robot or the conveyors at Sushiro, so we took him to Tung Lok Teahouse in Novena – he loved it. Crispy Roll with Prawn Chang Fun was nice and crispy and…
The price is very reasonable for what you get. It’s just $26.80++ per adult, and $16.80++ per child from Mondays to Thursdays, and $28.80++ per adult, and $18.80++ per child from Fridays to Sundays, as well as public holidays.
Our final dish was a less uniquely Teochew dish. The fried noodles with seafood ($22) was a simple but well executed dish with of seafood and vegetables.
Overall the food was below the standard of frangrant gardens where HC bought 9pax OPS dinner on 30.12.2016.
while the service and quality of ingredients were good, the prices here are just way too high for me (many items featured caviar, uni, or wagyu), which means that I'm not going back.

The service I have to say was humble and sincere.
The shoyu one really kind of resembles a piping hot claypot of hokkien mee, right? Noodles are good and chewy. The charsiew is kind of average and needs improvement.
In short, it was nice, but also disorienting. The sort of feeling that makes you want some food that anchors yourself. So it’s a good thing Jurong’s got plenty such places – places like Tonkotsu Kazan.
For a slow enjoyment, choose to enjoy this lunch set as a kaiseki-style omakase, where each dish will be served one by one, or get them served together at once for that Insta-worthy photo op!
I should try their DIY temaki set one day.
Maji Curry is one of those places that I kinda liked enough to go back to, and yet didn't like so much to actually make it there. Well, today we went there out of convenience, and it did the job. Actually, I prefer a slightly thinner curry, but I suppose the bold and thick nature of it is exactly what makes this place stand out.
To-Gather is an establishment that has several stalls co-located in a drinking place at Goldhill Plaza.
The aburi scallop sushi is rather pricey and I'd recommend the Genki sushi version where 3 hotate sushi is only about $5+.
The snacks from Tai Cheong were as we had expected. The bolo bao was rich and satisfying and egg tarts crumbly and smooth.
The competitive prices at Hatsu against other Japanese Omakase concepts in Singapore makes it an attractive one to return. The casual setting is unpretentious and you can expect fresh ingredients used here, along with stronger flavour profiles across the dishes as opposed to the more traditional Japanese omakase concepts. A destination dining worth trying.
the quality of their tempura batter wasn't anything to get excited about, and I don't really plan to go back.
Miso soup was a bore as well. I had difficulty identifying it as miso especially with the flavour from the salmon muddling it.
Overall I have to say Oak Room is an unexpected discovery serving above average modern European cuisine. The price may seen a bit steep but this is justified through its quality and portion. It is a bit sad to see the restaurant was empty during our visit. I think they deserved more. I really hope they can get more awareness and business can turn better.
Our dining experience at Oak Room Restaurant & Bar has been nothing short of spectacular. The price point of the dishes paired with the beautifully designed interior makes for an excellent venue for dining without having to burst your budget.
I found Oak Room Restaurant & Bar through Chope, which is my favourite restaurant booking site. The restaurant is located a short walk from Novena MRT Station, in a hotel so entrenched in 80s decor that I felt like I was caught in a time warp. The decor of the restaurant (thankfully) was in total…
As the name suggests, this small chain serves Paleo food. You get one very moist and tender chicken thigh in your choice of seasoning along with two sides. No, it's nothing to go out of one's way for, but it's all very guilt-free, all while being light on the wallet.
As the name suggests, this shop specializes in horfun (10 Sinaran Drive #03-66, 6980-8287). And they do a pretty good job of it too, with very smoky rice noodles underneath, fried noodles on top for some greasy crunch, and a small kettle of (also smoky) peppery gravy that one could add at discretion so as not to drown everything. Even the plate of baby kailan was nice and smoky with just the right touch of chili. Thumbs up.
Chicken Rice Takeaway, Char Siew and Dumplings
The good thing is I liked it more than the way I described it last time, as the broth was actually delicate and savory, and the chicken was nice and moist.
In my memory of Pek Kio hawker centre, the most famous stall had to be the prawn noodle (soup) manned by a no-nonsense auntie but in my rece...
Michelin Guide Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun. If you are in Pek Kio Market & Food Centre, you will notice the few stalls that will alway have a continuous stream of queue in front of their stall and Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun is just one of them.
Pin Wei is selling Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun that is freshly made on the spot in front of the customers' eyes.
Another lovely meat from the carving station is the Crackling Roasted Bungalow Pork Belly with prune stuffing. The sweetness from the prune stuffing provides the balance for the succulent pork belly.
They have quite a good selection of desserts but I think that the Tiramisu and Warm Chocolate Tart are the best!
My personal favourite would be the Michael Jackson in a shot glass. It consists of Soya Bean, Grass Jelly, and Longan. A small serving of nostalgia.
