Teh Tarik Cartel
Thai Fish Burger
Review: Thai Fish Burger @ Citrus by the Pool
Surprising almost a full house during the visit. Ordered homemade Thai Fish Burger and Red Tom Yam Chicken with Rice. The Thai Fish Burger is about $16 and the Tom Yam is $17 (the Tom Yam is a set with drink). The burger is quite sizeable with generous fries as the side. The Tom Yam taste good, rich in taste and ingredients and a little on the spicy side but great. Both are value for money.
Poulet @ Raffles City
Review: Poulet @ Raffles City
A new French restaurant that has recently gotten the Halal certification. A 2 pax set was chosen with the choice of 2 appetisers, 2 mains and 2 desserts. Drinks excluded. Its $50 per set and by the time you include the drinks and taxes it comes to about $70. For main dish, we chose Sea Bass with vegetables (no rice in it) and Chicken Carbonara. And for desserts, we had milk pudding and mango pudding. Quantity is limited but the taste is there…only because it is an acquired taste. But if it is your first French, you may not fancy the food nor the presentation.
Asian Market Cafe
Review: Asian Market Cafe @ Fairmont Hotel
It was a couple for 2 and the place looks empty. Reservation is staggered and I got the 3rd (last) slot at 8.45pm timing. Due to Covid, Asian Market Cafe also offers the ala carte buffet. The price for adult dinner is $86++. They served the cold dish/appetiser, followed by 7-8 bowls of Asian dishes and lastly the dessert. On top of what they readily served to you without you picking your order, you can also request for additional dishes eg laksa, satay and prate. Nothing western. For drinks you can ask for a free flow of plum juice, coffee or tea (both hot or cold). That is quite limited though I got to admit the ice tea tarik is so nice you’ll be asking for more. Yes you will be filled to the brim with the choices but I would think that it is overpriced for local dishes. The taste however while fine dining standard lacks the quality and presentation as you can find at Straits Kitchen or Carousel.
Straits Kitchen @ Hyatt Hotel
Review: Straits Kitchen
Straits Kitchen is touted as the best dining experience you can get on Scotts Road. And they do consistently live up to the reputation. At $69++ for adult dinner / $39 for child ($59++ for adult lunch / $29 for child), trust me it is worth your every dollar there.
Because of Covid, the buffet is now an ala carte-buffet. You can download the menu or request for one and order for as much as you can eat. The extensive hot and cold beverages are all free flow. Each serving is good for a couple so that will give you an indication of what to expect in terms of quantity. No doubt about quality, they are all superb. They got 4 items in the Appetiser, 9 items in the Malay BBQ category, another 9 items under Indian covering Tandoori, Curry and vegetarian selections + 4 different kinds of Indian bread. 8 items under Chinese, 4 under Noodle. For Rice, you can try the signature Chicken Rice and/or the Roasted Duck Rice. And to conclude the meals, you have 9 hot favourites Desserts.
Yong Tau Foo @ Bagus Causeway Point
Review: Yong Tau Foo @ Bagus Causeway Point
Its a must try when you are at Bagus, Causeway Point. The choices are quite extensive and a plate of minimum 7 pieces will just costs you $5.20 with 50 cents more if you ask for a bowl of rice or yellow mee. But do check as some of the items costs more (ie not part of the 7 choices for the standard price). The sambal is nice. Always a good choice when you are lost for choice.
Mee Goreng Mama @ Marsiling Mall
Review: Mee Goreng Mama at Marsiling Mall
Ordered mixed mee goreng which cost $4/-. Short wait, reasonable portion and taste quite good. Not too and not too wet and the mee when prepared and served looks inviting. However, I don’t see not taste much meat in it which you can normally find in a mee that price.
Nasi Goreng Kampung Pachitan
From the kitchen of: MKuking
By: Chef Asman 77
A simple, easy-to-make dish that can be prepared in minutes! Perfect for a lazy day in or when you’re craving for something hearty. You can never go wrong with a classic Nasi Goreng.
Botok-Botok
Review: Botok-Botok
The Botok-Botok looks much better than the one in the photo and the taste is authentically fabulous. The fish is of good size, gravy is generous and the vegetables is just perfect. Tried this on a wet and cooling Sunday so the Botok-Botok with steamed warm white rice makes a perfect combination. You can just have the Botok-Botok and nothing else and it can certainly fill the tummy of one very hungry person. It cost $7 per piece which means it is value for money for the serving and definitely a good order on the day mom’s not cooking.
Fruit Tart
It comes with different flavours of fruit tarts – 2 lemon lime meringue, 2 raspberry, 2 dark chocolate seasalt, 2 nutella swirl and 14 assorted fruits. A mixed box cost for $50. It is recommended but the price is a little bit steep.
