Molten Spring ChickenBy Fahmi RaisReview: Molten's Spring Chicken
We had family dinner of 5 pax at Molten Diners located at 256 Upper Thomson Road. I ordered Spring Chicken $12 while the others ordered Fish and Chips $13, Salmon Carbonara and Wagyu Striploin ($48 but on a 1 for 1 promo so its like you are just paying $24 for it). It was our first and definitely wont be our last. The food here is top of the line. From the presentation to the taste, you will have nothing to complain about. The quantity is right-to-generous and you certainly will enjoy the meal. Chicken was absolutely crispy and sauce simply fantastic. The meat was tender and the fish was fitting for 2 pax ! Prices are moderately reasonable and the sides promo (1 pot of mussels for just $1)is definitely a go. In short, its highly recommended.Ayam Penyet @ D’Penyetz JEMBy Fahmi RaisReview: Ayam Penyet @ D'Penyetz, JEM
We had family lunch at D'Penyetz located at 05-02 JEM, Jurong Gateway Road. My Ayam Penyet was $7.50. We also tried Ayam Bakar $7.90, Ayam Geprek Mozarella $7.50, Ikan Bawal Bakar $8.90 and Tahu Telur $7.50. Nothing was a disappointment. In fact we ended up ordering 2 extra plate of white rice because the meals were simply authentically Indonesian. The sambal comes in several levels, so you can pick your own threshold for spiciness and the sambal were brought in from Indonesia (not prepared locally). As we know in any Ayam Penyet meal, the real deal is in the sambal and to me D'Penyetz got the best. Though we have a tasted a variety of drinks, Teh Botol $2.50 is a must. Value for money and totally great for taste.Breakfast Platter @ The Coffee BeanBy Fahmi RaisReview: Breakfast Platter @ The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Level 2 Causeway Point
Ordered breakfast platter priced at $12.90 (with free coffee or tea). The meal surprisingly came with a good serving/portion - 4 pcs of bread, scrambled eggs, beef patty and 2 ham slices.You can eat 2 rounds one burger styled and the other with the ham sandwich. The egg is far better than the one served at McDonald. If you are having it for breakfast, it sure fills your tummy like its a good brunch.Fish Fillet Teppan-YakiBy Fahmi RaisReview: Fish Fillet Teppan-Yaki @ Level 2 Causeway Point
Ordered fish fillet meal and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tasted the lamb and salmon meal and none was a disappointment. In fact, gien the price and the 'fun' of having your meal cooked in front of you and served fresh is an experience. The vegetables are generous an the meal comes with a bowl of soup and bowl of white rice. The taste is great and you can have it spicy or non. Wonderful for couple, group or family dining.Hjh Mariam CafeBy Fahmi RaisReview: Hjh Mariam Cafe @ 743 North Bridge Road
This was the first visit to their new (second) outlet at North Bridge Road. Because this is a shophouse premise, the cafe has more freedom to decorate and create concepts (as opposed to the outlet at Westgate), though I do miss the TV playing black and white movies. Order was made for Giant Nasi Ambeng ($50 or $66 for the 'upgraded version') that can easily satisfy 5 pax. You got generous portion of chicken, meat and many around the sides. Having tried numerous Nasi Ambeng, I have to say that the one served by Hjh Mariam Cafe is still the best, unbeatable. The quality is consistent and price remain reasonable.Grill NinetyNineBy Fahmi RaisReview: Grill NinetyNine @ 142 Arab Street
There were 4 of us. We found this place through an online search for western food around Sultan Mosque. We tried 3 main dish, 1 soup and a cake. For a start the Cream of Mushroom ($6) with bread was really tasty, creamy and thick. Probably one of the best mushroom soups ever tasted. We ordered Lamb Rack ($29.90). Great filling, tender and absolutely delicious. We also ordered Salmon ($20) and it was truly satisfying. The last order was Grilled Beef Burger ($15) and it was lovely as it was mouthwatering to look at with all the melting Raclette cheese (add $8.90 for that). Food was served with great presentation like how it would have been prepared for a photoshoot. Rainbow cake ($7.50) will appeal to those who must have something sweet to end a good meal. WalakuBy Fahmi RaisReview: Walaku @ 102 Joo Chiat Road Road
There were 3 of us. I ordered Kentang Ball $8.50, wife tried their Nasi Goreng Kerabu with Ayam Percik $14 and son enjoyed their Moza Leleh Burger $16. All 3 taste great so you wouldnt mind the price. The presentation will whet your appetite and the portion will leave you filling full. The food is definitely fine-chef material therefore the preparation time is worth the wait. We tried the Thai Milk Tea Cold $4 and it tastes authentically Thai indeed. We ended the visit with Strawberry Cheese Cake (gelato) at $3.80. This was my 2nd visit there and it looks like I will be coming back for more.The White LabelBy Naya RaisManaged to check out the new halal French cafe at Arab Street. For starters, I had the fried chicken wings which was marinated in sweet & spicy chilli sauce. Would rate it a 3/5 - was good but nothing significant. For main, I ordered the spicy prawn linguine which had 3 different spice levels. I chose the level 2 which was good enough for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was tiptop - was often checked upon to ensure everything I ordered was out and was to my liking. Definitely worth a try! Overall experience 4 out of 5. One downfall is you might walk past the place without noticing as it is located along the streets with a lot of other shops/cafes! Make sure to keep a look out or get your GPS out.Andes by AstonBy Fahmi RaisReview: Porterhouse (Andes by Aston) @ 6 Woodlands Square.
This outlet is a new Andes by Aston outlet. It is located at Woodlands Square just beside the Woodlands Civic Centre. We ordered 1 Porterhouse, 1 Black Pepper Steak and 1 Grilled Fish. Not the best that I have tasted for the food ordered but definitely ranked among the top. The portion and the tenderness is as expected with a near perfect score for taste. Ambiance is good and outlet is in a good location.Price is on the mid to semi-high scale with the porterhouse costing $29.90, the tenderloin at 28.90 and the grilled fish at 16.90. Then again if the taste is good and experience is great, the price is not a key factor but here is where the problem starts - their service. So a 3 pax dining can take your in the $80 + range.
