Heard the cakes are nice, went to give it a try. Was crowded that day as it was a National Day, Seats too little so it turn down quite a number of customers, we were lucky to got our seats. Cake are nicely done, taste nice too. My green tea has a taste of Vanilla which surprise me! Cakes are little pricey but it is yummy! But if you have a big group then you can't go there for chit chat cos there might not be enough seats for big groups. Their settings are mostly for 2, maximum 4 pax. There's a another small accessories shop inside as well.

Came across this place saw a lot of people were there so we gave it a try. They have a lot of different dessert for us to choose. We were disappointed with the desserts that we ordered. The price stated here might not be correct as I forgot to take receipt. I think I can get better dessert at a better price. Disappointed especially the Mango Sago...haiz.

Got a free coupon for the 1/4 chicken so we when to give it a try. Long queue but it's really becos there's not enough staff or I should say they are just too slow in serving the people. Waited 30mins for our seats, 30 mins for food. Total waited for 1 hour for our food. Luckily we were not very hungry. Clean table Slow~ arrange table Slow~ bring ppl to their table Slow~ Serve drink Slow~ everything Slow~ they have their own sweet time to do things....haiz Service is lousy, staff simply is not looking at you when taking order. Not worth the wait.

Very nice yakitori restaurant, been there a few times standard still the same. We love the lunch set as it's at a reasonable price, their dinner menu is more expensive. Chef will BBQ the food infront of you but don't worry it's not smoky.
We really like this Yakitori bento set! It's Yummy!

A nice & quiet place that we went on a weekend. Chef MIA for quite a while that day so we waited 40 mins till we got our food. Luckily the staffs were polite & we were in a good mood. Specialty is the vanilla dirt cake, it's not a flower pot that use to decor the table, it's actually yogurt + oreo + brownie. Interesting! All day breakfast can add a cup of coffee @ $1.50 how nice! I quite like this place, the environment is quite comfortable.

Ok yes it's ramen again haha I know you are bored with it. Pls bare with me :P I just love eating Ramen. Well this taste ok only I guess I wouldn't go there 1 more time but it's cheap as compare to many ramen store especially with the 30% discount, Gyoza is free, Service charge is free also :P haha Maybe my expectation to it is too high? I think it taste normal, but saw quite a lot of people queue for it. Food is average but suit Singaporean taste.

Before you go down give them a call to see if they are open. Went there 3 times only the 3rd time we manage to eat there. They are crowded too got to wait for seats due to limited sitting area. They have many choices of drinks for you to mix & match at your own risks...my lychee coffee ice blend taste weird don't try haha. But I love my chilli crab sauce spaghetti...Nice food at a reasonable price. Simply love the chilli crab sauce pasta & seaweed drumlets! Yummy!

New shop at new mall. I quite like the taste of the soup but some people will find it oily. But I'm happy with the portion. Worth the money becos the noodles is a lot. Saw quite a few Japanese eating there too for the 2 times I went this place. Overall it's quite ok but still not the best we have taken so far.

New place in Orchard Road, came across this place one Friday night. Quite a lot of people, we came in at the right timing to get our seats. Pasta has got 2 different size, ours is for 2-3 persons but we both find it too little even for the 2 of us. Overall food taste not bad there's still other food that I would love to try.

Went there quite long ago, couldn't remember the prices very well. It might be wrong but about there. The first time we went, we think the ramen taste not bad but 2nd time we went the ramen that we took does not suit our taste. Thus, the rate given for food is low. The rest are all about average.

Visited this place quite long ago came across this place by accident. But their shop front remins me of the ramen shops I saw in Japan. Ramen taste not bad, there's 2 different sizes available. So for big eaters you can go for the bigger sizes one. The cha siew melts in your mouth not in your hand. For the portion of the ramen they serve it is worth the price. We got to queue for awhile for our seats on a public holiday. Photo took from Iphone thus doesn't look very nice. haha

Newly open restaurant at Mandarin Gallery, many feedbacks are very nice ramen! Indeed ramen are really very nice but still not the best we have eaten so far. Service & environment given is only 2 stars reason being the Q-ing system is not very good. Q for 40 mins for our seats, Q too long becos of the restaurant layout is lousy. They wasted a lot of space. If you ask me to Q for 40 mins again for this I don't think I'm willing to Q again.

Coffee Bean



THE COFFEE BEAN & TEA LEAVE

Only selective Coffee Bean outlet offer this. Best of all it's all day breakfast set. So you can enjoy breakfast at anytime! If you are tired of Mac Donalds breakfast this is the next best choice.

Wanted to try this when it first open at ION but the Q was too long. Finally got the chance to try this, the Shio scallop ramen that I had is very nice but the Shoyu cha shu ramen is a bit too salty. But I think the ramen is a little too oily. Still overall I quite like their ramen. Overall is ok but range of food not wide enough. Singaporean like to have lots of choices for them to select.

I walk 1 round the place I notice a weak point, some food portion is so little! So you must be careful of what you order becos if you order the small portion one you will think that it's so not worth it. When this first open it was super long Q, so I only tried this when there's totally no Q. But I like the design concept of the place, nicely decorated.

Didn't expect the food to be that good. I was surprise. Their staff are friendly & attentive to you. I must say this is a great found. Go for good food, this is one of the choice. Updates there's a new outlet at Orchard Central, it's a new concept. With have burger set meals. But not as good as the main outlet. Up to you to give it a try.

If you are tired of coffee, tea or me...you can try this milk shake. Using Ouam's ice cream plus quality low fat milk. Thick & rich-tasting. They even have a water cooler for customer to take & drink. Nice designer feeling shop with friendly staff. Sat 8pm to 9pm is their candle light night so they will off most of their lights. But it will be good if they put some magazines for customer to read. I think it has been many years I didn't take milk shake becos I'll get sick of the taste after less than half of the cup...but this is different I like! I can finish the whole cup! Updates there's a new outlet at Scape. Small counter inside Scape. Feel free to drop by.

It's like a supermarket style place where they also have dinning place. There's pasta & soup or Nanami Suisan for you to chose. Their pasta & baked rice is quite alright but it can be better. On the other side of the dinning area you can also pick up your snacks, confectioneries, canned beverages, ice creams and desserts. Photos taken from Hp at such not taken very well. I try to match the design of the logo from the website to the website to the closest so I need to credit them on this page. concept & design copied & changed from www.thecentral.com.sg

Found on TV program, like this place. The food is nice except that the fish & chips we think that it can be nicer. This place is good for group gathering, as the seating is like a tuck-shop style. There's actually a stage there if you want you can even go up and perform for 15 mins.

They have a special super big size burger as they main highlights, but the portion is too big that most of the people can't finish so I think it's a waste of food. So that becomes a bad idea. Food is so so only. Nicely decorated restaurant but their food make me think of New York New York...maybe under same company?

Catherine's Grading Guide



I like to explore new place for food. So I go around looking for new food new shop or even places that I have not tried but highly recommended by friends. So I started giving my own grading for each place. This grading are just for reference, it's just what I think about the shop. Each person have different thinking and tasting so do try the food yourself and let me know if you thinks the same. :) Sharing is caring.
