Ambience at Basdban is casual and relaxing. Styled like a lounge, the gastrobar is dimly lit, with spotlights and a neon glow illuminating the place. Furnishings are lower than normal, designed for partial reclining, and are relatively comfortable. There's limited indoor seating, but a good amount of outdoor seating, which is thankfully sheltered.
Overall, it was a great dining experience with Sichuan street food. The team at Basdban successfully elevated the dishes by using better ingredients and controlling the level of spiciness.
Will I Return Again? Sichuan food is typically very spicy in my impression. Basdban has a good variety of dishes to cater to the crowd even if you cannot take spice very well like me. It is a convenient after-work or lunch spot for the CBD crowd should you be craving for a modern Sichuanese dining experience.
Overall, it was a pleasant steak lunch at Boeuf Restaurant in Telok Ayer, Singapore. Since it was happy hour we also had beer ($10) with our meal. Cheers!
The Place Located in Telok Ayer Street, Boeuf restaurant has been around for a few years but I only managed to check it out recently last month. The steakhouse restaurant occupies a two storey shophouse space with an elegant interior design. Level one of the restaurant exudes a buzzing dining ambience, while level two is slightly cosier especially if you managed to snag the tables right beside the window.
Boeuf Singapore is a restaurant renowned for its expertise in serving delectable dry-aged beef and Beef Tartare dishes located on Telok Ayer Street
Barramundi not bad.
While Sarnies does fantastic sandwiches, their dinner options were terribly mediocre. The concept was great, and the menu sounded real tempting, but the execution was found wanting.
Tasty, Value For Money Brunch & Good Coffee Overall: 7 Ambience & Setting: 6 Food & Beverage: 7 Service: 5 Value for Money: 7 Spent about SGD $27 per person
Food at Park Bench Deli is American and Italian cuisine, with a focus on sandwiches. Head Chef Matt Kuhnemann and Senior Chef Ben Phoon lead the kitchen, serving consistently well-executed plates that pack bold flavours.
I heartily recommend coming after 11am and braving the queue to get your fix, because their grilled cheese and lemon ricotta pancakes are a combo that will make your day all that much better.
Most of the menu was rather meat-heavy, so I went for one of the few meatless options available
I will definitely come back to Napoleon Wine Bar for more good food at affordable prices and wide range of good wine.
This was my first Restaurant Week meal and one of the more memorable ones. Napoleon Food & Wine Bar is a cozy restaurant situated on Telok Ayer Street, with a rather quirky sense of design as the seats are fabricated in the style of Napoleon's uniform with a "pocket" for the iPad menu.
Napoleon is a great place to chill out and the wine dispensing machines; magical ones :p are a great way to try a variety of wines from France.
The Market Grill serving robust steak, hearty roll and other grilled meat dishes.
Venison was overcooked today.
While I maintain that their food would probably be more enjoyable eaten at the restaurant, they did survive delivery pretty well.
Overall, enjoyed the comfortable settings, personable service and good coffee here at Free The Robot. Will I drop by again? You bet.

There are endless reasons to fall in love with this charming cafe—every element of Shop Wonderland Cafe & Floral Studio was executed flawlessly and with elegance.
The best dish of the day was the Thai Green Curry pasta ($14). This was a pleasant dish. Pasta with chicken curry is unusual but the curry was quite mild and the combination was a successful one.
Overall, this place is a good option for sugar rush in the Telok Ayer area but note that prices are not cheap.
With simple and hearty fare, along with value-for-money deals, Zodiac is a welcome addition to the dining experiences in Telok Ayer.
Recommended items include Tsukune with Hen's Yolk Tare ($9), and Pork Jowl ($6), as well as sharing plates like Uni Soba with Ikura, Hotate & Ebi ($38), and Foie Gras Chahan ($18).
