While the offering at the Carvery was not extensive, it compensates with good quality ingredients and execution, all in a classy setting.
The service here was alright, just that the plates were not cleared fast. The food quality here was not bad.
We were once again impressed by the food served at The Carvery, therefore, no doubt we recommend Park Hotel Alexandra Spanish-inspired Yuletide Celebration.
I actually resisted having a buffet but after seeing the serving of Kumo Japanese Dining, I'm pleased. Every portion was manageable and food quality is of standard.
One thing you really shouldn’t miss is their larger than usual assortment of Tempura Agemono for you to sample.
Here's the bossam lunch set from Ju Shin Jung. Even though it was only a half portion, it was rather filling; I had trouble finishing it all and I had been on an empty stomach since last night. These guys have some pretty decent lunch deals, especially since they are very generous with their banchan too.

Jiakpalang Eating House is an up-and-coming casual restaurant along Alexandra Road that offers local Zi Char dishes with a twist.
Overall, I think that Jiakpalang is promising, but it needs some fine tuning here and there, especially in terms of its identity and the naming of some of the dishes.
What else can I say apart from visit and be wowed? Chef tasting menus are available by the counter and I am dying for a return!
It’s a perfect place to catch up with old pals and relax after a long day.
Blue Lotus Mediterranean Kitchen + Bar is the latest brainchild of Chef Helios Goncalves from Boca (we could've guessed from his signatures that seem all too familiar!). Unlike the other Blue Lotus outlets, this focuses more on Mediterranean cuisine.
Blue Lotus Mediterranean Kitchen + Bar was exceeded above my expectation. NAHMJ highly recommend to all.
Himawari Japanese Restaurant at Alexandra Road is a crowded place at lunchtime on weekdays. Office workers from the surrounding areas come for the affordable set lunch deals.
a place i will come back again.
Palatable, highly wallet-friendly dishes at Soi Thai Soi Nice New Menu is worth visiting with family and friends.
The broth is actually on the sweet side for me, it didn't have the characteristic spicy kick in authentic Thai cuisine. Nevertheless the hot pot brimming with ingredients is a luscious enjoyment on its own. I noticed almost every table has a pot of it on their table.
Some of my favourites were the Grilled Pork Neck, the egg dishes, and the sticky rice ice cream dessert. We left the restaurant as happy diners, and will definitely be back again for more.
Jin Ho Mia @ Alexandra Retail Centre is good for someone who look for simple and healthier meal or just catch up with your friends for a pint of beer there.
Jin Ho Mia—which means ‘a really good life’ in Hokkien—is the newest addition to the Alexandra Retail Centre that serves up rice and salad bowls for lunch and hot pots for dinner.
As a whole, I found the food at Jin Ho Mia mediocre and unworthy of the price.
I've finally figured out the right things to order at Qin Ji: the liangpi, along with this.
And yes, I got a bowl of liangpi to go with it. They included some crunchy soybeans in there for some added texture, and it was rather garlic-heavy too. I'd be interested in coming back to try their other soups and roujiamo fillings.

By the owners’ admission, this venture is a safe place for them to test waters on a steady clientele, gradually improving their food while having complete control over their space.
The ngoh hiong was the bomb. Savoury, garlicky and crunchy from the diced waterchestnuts, with a distinct saltiness reminding me of the ngoh hiong many years ago from a coffeeshop stall at the Commonwealth Cresecent Market. Nice.
The seafood pancake is one of our favourite items at Korean restaurants. The one at Auntie Kim’s is not one of our favouri
Hot and cold beverages as well as muffins, salad and sandwiches were available for takeaway. Their coffee, brewed from Toby Estate beans, was good.
Despite being a western bistro, I am surprised that Atmosphere Bistro does very good Asian rice bowls; the Asian pastas didn’t really impress me enough though.
It was impressively good, particularly because they pay attention to the ingredients. That included their coffee beans (and they even make their own yogurt!), but also their bold use of herbs, particularly lemongrass that came through in a number of items like chicken wings and even that dipping sauce above.
Keng Eng Kee opened a new outlet in 2022 at SAFRA Tampines. With the restaurant in the East and the zi char restaurants in West Singapore, they have the whole Singapore covered.
Keng Eng Kee (KEK) Seafood is considered one of the best in Singapore, and for my son’s birthday we went here.
We enjoyed the Samsui chicken at Keng Eng Kee. Tender juicy sweet poached free range chicken eaten with mild grated ginger wrapped in crunchy lettuce.
In Singapore, Fatty Cheong at ABC Market is synonymous with "bu jian tian" 不见天 char siew to go with their egg noodles or plain rice.
There are 2 stalls by the same name in this food centre by the same owner, the original stall is to focus on roasted meat and the newer stal...
The char siew was nice.
Poh Cheu Ang Ku Kueh and Soon Kueh review. Traditional shop at Alexandra Village, Jalan Bukit Merah near Ikea Singapore
Ang Ku Kueh is a traditional Chinese cake made to look like a tortoise shell; hence the name that translates to red tortoise cake, although ...
Everything at Poh Cheu Soon Kueh And Ang Ku Kueh is still made from scratch daily by the family, so you can be assured of the quality control here.
I would definitely return for their shrimp wontons, and I wish they sold frozen ones so I could have them whenever I like.
Although this stall specializes in soya sauce chicken, it is their sui kow and soup that impresses me more.
I enjoyed the Shrimp Dumpling though.
