Soup Restaurant

After shopping for Zhuzhufat's present, we stroll around Vivocity looking for something nice to eat, there's queue everywhere and nothing really caught our attention until we came by this Soup Restaurant. There was a queue but we felt like eating Chinese cuisine so we joined in. I would say the staffs are pretty efficient and polite. When you are queuing they will give you the menu and a small paper to note down the food you want. They will collect from you after that and send to the kitchen for processing. By the time you are seated, the food can be served promptly. I was very impressed in every single dishes and that night was a really pleasant dining experience.

Hot Chrysanthemum tea with peanuts appetizer

Dried Scallop Black Chicken Soup - very flavourful and I wish the bowl could be bigger :(

SamSui Ginger Chicken with the garlic sauce in the saucer. I love to dip my chicken with a lot of garlic and I'm all good for a face to face chat. :D

This lettuce is used to wrap the above SamSui chicken. We gave up after the first time as it was too troublesome. I just want to eat the chicken alone.

Claypot Tofu - Very tender and the skin tastes fragrant!

Ah Por Ginger Fried Rice - this is one I gonna recommend. The image may look like normal fried rice but the taste with the ginger mixed in it is simply heavenly. The amount of ginger input is according to your preference as you order.

Ah Kon Fan Shu Leaves - we chose the spicy version. This one goes best with rice. Very tasty and I enjoy chewing this kind of vegetables.

Very oriental looking restaurant. Nice ambience and we are actually seated by the window and could see the firework across from the USS.

LENAS @ Nex

It has been sometime since I last updated. Had been so busy and tired so when I have some time to rest, I just got lazy. I like to hang around Nex and my target is to try out all the food in that building. This time round, I came by LENAS, just beside MOF. They are related and MOF launched this Italian-American restaurant, very different from its original Japanese style cuisine. Pricing wise seems quite reasonable at first glance.

 Cheese Baked Rice - pretty good and cheesy. Not overly salty.

Grilled Prime Ribeye - The steak texture and taste were normal, the baked potato was just tasteless and very dry. The wedges taste the nicest. :P

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice cream (contains a little alcohol)
 - kinda sinful, the peanut butter taste is pretty flavourful. :)

If you are looking for casual dining place and not carrying high expectations, no harm giving it a try, especially the desserts.

Nanbantei Japanese Restaurant

Hidden gem found inside Far East Plaza! If you are into Yakitori, you must give Nanbantei(南蛮亭) Japanese Restaurant a try. My dining experience was a smooth and pleasant one. The staffs were friendly, the interior of the restaurant is very small yet cozy. It resembles the authentic atmosphere of a Japanese restaurant.

We ordered set B which is inclusive of assorted Sashimi, 8 sticks of Yakitori (selected by them), miso soup, rice and dessert. Vegetable sticks were served as appetizer with Miso paste, we didn't eat that. We also ordered a separate ala-carte dish - Nanbanyaki (Wagyu beef) to satisfy my craving for beef.

That's the vege sticks I was talking about. We felt like hamsters haha.

Assorted Sashimi - Fresh and satisfying, too little!

8 Different types of Yakitori - very tasty and goes well with rice. A person like me who usually unable to finish my rice actually gobbled it clean. :X

My favourite! Nanbanyaki (Wagyu beef) in bean paste. Yummy!

 Chef in action

Genmai Tea

Red bean with glutinous ball - this dessert is just normal, nothing special.

Todai Marina Bay Sands Buffet Restaurant

This buffet restaurant has a unique name which can be easily remembered, the correct pronunciation is, To-Da-i (not today). So bear in mind, when you are about to ask for direction at the inquiry counter, try not to say 'I want to go Todai....', it may sounds kind of amusing hahaha.

As we approach the entrance, there were many staffs there to greet and assist you. Yes they were humble and nice. The place was big and the moment we walked though, the wide varieties of food and aroma make us go wow... each of them was pretty attractive and delicious looking.

We were settled down at a round cozy sofa seat. Oh yes, it was Dad's birthday and I've made reservation so we get to have a better seating arrangement. They were also kind enough to provide complementary birthday cake as a bonus.

The entrance

The seafood section, they were so fresh and good. The oysters were opened on the spot and each person can only take 2 each time.

I love these long legs crab! Sweet, fresh and succulent. I didn't count how much I ate haha. Thanks to Daddy for helping me to cut them up.

You will be amazed by their long wide varieties of sushi. I didn't each much of these as the rice makes me full easily hehe.

 Most of their cooked food are well-cooked and tasty. *Thumbs up*

So many things. O_O

 Here's the Korean section with all the kimchi and fried pancakes etc.

 Kimchi!

Meat BBQ section - Beef, Mutton, Pork, Chicken.. you name it, they have it.

 May I have a Ribeye please?

Unlimited steak... woohoo

Ta-da~ Their steak. Thinly sliced and it was really tasty! My brother went for another plate immediately after. Lol.

You have to order the Sashimi and the chef will cut for you. In this way they will remain fresh and good. :D

Love every single meat that comes in shells! Hahaha...

Fat succulent crab meat. Yummy!

 Meats from the BBQ section.

Even their fried rice tastes good. Fried prawns, Shishamo, squids etc.

Miso Soup and Mushroom Soup(thick and savoury)

Some fried food.

Some dim sim.

These crayfish are fresh and delicious, you can easily pry the meat out. However there's always a long queue and demand seems to always exceed the demand. We can only take 2 at a time. :(

Abalone porridge

All their desserts are worth trying. They are cut into small cube pieces for easy consumption. I love their Tiramisu, Mango mousse cake and chocolates which taste a little like Royce's.

The complementary cake by them. So sweet and they came in group with party hats, sang my Dad a birthday song and help us to take pics with their Polaroid.

The experience was all good except a little problem with their selective plates clearing. We pile unwanted cups at the side for their convenience to clear but they only took away certain used plates and the pile still stood there until we made signal several times. Maybe they need to improve on their consistency too. Haha nvm, other than that, it was an enjoyable dinner. ^_^

Damage per pax was $58 (excluding service charge and gst).
