Paradise Inn

Feeling hungry after buying some electronic stuff at Funan? You may want to try Paradise Inn. Paradise Inn is a Chinese restaurant which is located at Funan level 2.

Over there, we ordered homemade style fried vermicelli and supreme seafood fried rice.

Overall, both dishes are not bad and not that oily either.

Although the price is quite expensive for this kind of food, I’m quite satisfied with the portion given. 1 portions enough for two people. So I think is quite worth to try.

Will I go there again? Maybe yes. 

 

Homemade Style Fried Vermicelli S$12.90

Supreme Seafood Fried Rice S$12.90

Mr Punch

ON last two weeks, I visited the MINT Museum of Toys. And for my lunch over there, I tried the Mr Punch restaurant. This restaurant is located at MINT Museum of Toys’ basement floor.

Over there, I was amazed with their interior design. Their restaurant wall covered with some old food’s & drink’s advertisement. It’s such a great idea and it makes the overall restaurant looks cozy and vintage.

Not only that, I also surprise with one of their menu named Coca-Cola Baby Pork Ribs. Without must hesitation, I ordered Coca-Cola Baby Pork Ribs.

The Baby back Pork Ribs marinated overnight in Coke, baked for 4 hours in low heat, and then caramelized with special seasoned Coca-Cola sauce.  

As I expected, Coca-Cola Baby Pork Ribs has a unique taste. You can really taste the Coca-Cola whenever you chew the barbeque Pork Ribs. This Baby Pork Ribs is tender and juicy.  Until now, I haven’t found this kind of dish in other Singapore restaurant (or maybe it’s because my restaurant list dictionary is too less :P).

Over there I ordered Gula Melaka Panna Cotta as well.

Gula Melaka Panna Cotta is a Home-made Italian Panna Cotta made by the simmering of cream, milk and sugar, mixed with gelatin and topped with a touch of Asia – juicy gula Melaka all together.

I like the Gula Melaka Panna Cotta. The sweetness level is just nice for me and the Panna Cotta is nicely soft.

Overall, I enjoyed my lunch at Mr Punch restaurant.
 

Coca-Cola Baby Pork Ribs S$26.00

Gula Melaka Panna Cotta S$5.00

Gaia Korean BBQ Restaurant

As I promised to one of my blog’ reader (Anihe) to review more Korean foods, today I will review Korean restaurant called Gaia Korean BBQ Restaurant.

Over there, I & my friend tried their Kimchi Jeyook set and Samgae Tang.

Kimchi Jeyook set comes with hot plate grilled pork, rice, assorted kimchi, soup and watermelon. The portion is very big; it can enough for 2 persons. The taste also nice and their kimchi are fresh.

Samgae Tang is one of the popular authentic Korean dishes. I heard this dish can make you feel better when you are not feeling well. The chicken portion over there is very big (half chicken) and inside the soup have quite big ginseng. It will be nicer to eat when the soup still hot.

They also provide a small bowl of salt to put inside the soup, so it's tastier. One portion of Samgae Tang comes with one bowl of rice.

For the drink, we tried Korean Rice Drink. This beverage is very unique, it got rice inside. I guess its fermented rice. The taste is sweet and nice.

Overall we are satisfied to eat over there.

Kimchi Jeyook set (Hot plate grilled pork with Kimchi & soup) S$14.00

 

Samgae Tang (Ginseng Chicken Soup) S$16.00

 

 

Korean Rice Drink S$4.00

Buffet Town

Last Thursday, my manager suggested to having lunch together. He asked me to find a good and cosy lunch buffet restaurant.

Since it was a last minute ordered, it’s a bit difficult for me to make a reservation. I called 3 restaurants, but all is either no buffet lunch for weekday or the restaurant is close due to their relocation. 

Finally (thanks to our super clever “Google”), I found the Buffet Town website. Showed the website to my manager and he was so happy with the menu. 

The restaurant is quite big. And it offers many varieties of dishes, such as Western, Japanese and Asian food.

The foods are nice and the price is affordable. All of us were having a great lunch over there. It is such a great place for having a group lunch/dinner.

What else can I say, both quality and quantity is checked. I will surely definitely come back again.

FYI, Buffet Town is not allowing any reservation!! So, if you want to have your lunch over there, make sure to reach before 12 noon!!

Menya Musashi

As you all know, me and my colleagues LOVE to hang out and try different type of foods available in Singapore. So, last week, one of my colleagues, saw this big advertisement (from newspaper) that there is one new Ramen Restaurant open at Raffles City Shopping Centre.

Make it short, on last Friday evening, we all decided to have dinner at that new Ramen Restaurant, called Menya Musashi.

Maybe because it is a new restaurant (they just opened in Singapore early of April 2012), they are many people’s interested to try.  When we reach there, we quite surprise to see the queue. The restaurant was very crowded and the queue was quite long!!!!

We are waited for around 20 minutes just to get our seats. Good advice for you all: just call and make reservation first before you go there.

This restaurant offers 7 different types of ramen which can categorize into 4 groups. They are: Black Ramen, White Ramen, Red Ramen and Tsukemen Ramen.

Black, White and Red Ramen itself has 2 different types. They differentiate by its meat: Kakuni or Chasu.

FYI, they have promo if you ordering the Tsukemen Ramen. You can top-up your noodle up to 5 times. 

Here are our orders:

1. Black Kakuni RamenInterested with black soup, I ordered this one. This ramen consist of tender and juicy braised pork which complements the soup base made with fermented onion and crushed garlic that has been fried to a deep dark colour that gives the soup its signature black colour. This dish also has the most robust flavour on the menu.

2. White Cha Shu Ramen The chashu is made of pork belly which is marinated in soy sauce and creamy soup base which comprises mostly pork broth and fish broth.

3. Red Kakuni Ramen This ramen was created especially for the Singapore store to cater to the local preference for all things spicy. With tender and juicy braised pork and the pork broth contains many types of spices which are blended to form the unique taste of the dish.

4. Tsukemen Ramen In this dish, the broth is served separately from the noodles, which are then dipped and eaten. The noodles are chewy, springy and curly, which serves to soak up more of the delicious broth. They also offering up to five extra servings of noodles at no additional cost for every order of the Tsukemen Ramen.

Red Kakuni Ramen S$14.90

White Cha Shu Ramen S$12.90

Black Kakuni Ramen S$14.90

Black Tsukemen S$13.90

Olive Vine

Hunting for nice foods with affordable price at Marina Square? You might try Olive Vine Restaurant.

Last month, I and my friends went there to try their foods.

Every one of us ordered Deluxe Set Meal. What so special about this set Meal? You just need to add S$4.00 to any Ala Carte Main and you can get 1 Soup, 1 Dessert of the Day and 1 Beverage. The average of their Ala Carte Main’s might cost you around S$8.00 – S$15.00. So, with only S$4.00 additional cost, you may enjoy their beverage. It’s quite worth to try!

FYI, there is no service charge applied in this restaurant.

Their Olive Rice Chicken BBQ sauce is very tasty and the portion is quite big. Their Fried Fish with Fettuccine in Cream sauce is also delicious.

You can choose Cheese Cake, Chocolate Cake or Carrot Cake for the Dessert of the Day.

I tried their Chocolate cake; it was very special because the chocolate is warm. I recommend you to try their Carrot cake as well.
