Nihon Mura Express - Rivervale Mall Branch

ABBEY: We went to Rivervale Mall to have dinner on another restaurant but got enticed by Nihon Mura Express. They have a promo "Eat More, Save More" from Jan 9-Feb 28, 2017. 40 plates & above - $1/plate 30 – 39 plates - $1.20/plate 20 – 29 plates - $1.40/plate We can only go up to 20. That will satisfy our hunger for some wasabi and sushi. Pros: 1. Huge variety of sushi. 2. You can order sushi besides in the conveyor and it will be delivered fast. Just make sure to confirm your order. 3. They also have other appetizers like chicken (yakitori or fried). 4. Food is fresh and delicious. Cons: 1. Wasabi is not that hot/spicy. And it is dry compared to other sushi shops we visited. 2. Green tea is not unlimited. 2 packs per serving and will be counted to the number of your plate. 3. Sushi serving or size is small. I can see that evident on my favorite inari. Nihon Mura Express Side Order Menu Nihon Mura Express This is the only s...

Ban Heng @ Harbourfront Centre - Dim Sum Lunch Buffet

ABBEY: This is where we have our New Year's day date, at Ban Heng Restaurant. It was lunch time. It was almost empty during our first visit, but come New Year's day, it was jam-packed and you can feel the festive spirit.  We indulged ourselves with serving of wanton in tom yam soup, dim sum, crispy fried chicken wings, spring rolls, fried mantou, shrimp rolled in crispy bean curd skin, fried fish fillet in sweet and sour sauce and the two best entrees for us: pork ribs and salted egg custard in steamed bun.  Wow, it was a feast for less than 25SGD per person. Drinks like tea, coffee, and juices are all bottomless. Ban Heng @ Harbourfront Centre - Dim Sum Lunch Buffet Menu is in this video =) WILL:  We are truly missing the dim sum at Banawe Avenue in Philippines and that is the main reason why we decided to splurge in different kind of buffet..Dim Sum buffet!  If you buy an ala-carte of those it will cost you a ton of money and as suggested b...

Mandarin Oriental Singapore's - MELT CAFÉ (Dinner Buffet)

ABBEY: I read that Melt CafĂ© offers one of the best buffet in Singapore and I want to try it. Wilma booked a reservation for three (Wilma, and the two November birthday celebrators; me and Chat) and went to Mandarin Oriental last December 5.  We were ushered to a table and we waited for the buffet to open. A couple of minutes later we were told that we can start.  The place was huge and homey. I didn't even know where to start taking snaps of the vast array of food. They have variety of cuisines; Japanese, Western, Indian, and local delights. I had plates of sushi and sashimi as well as tandoori (chicken and fish). I matched them with papadum, rice and naan.  Their ravioli is bursting with cheese and really goes well with red sauce with beef. I also had slices of turkey and ham and some cheese. Desserts are fantastic.  Make sure to get that slice of Melt Cafe chocolate cake before it is gone. It's pure chocolate heaven. I tried their homemade frozen yog...

Ina Spa (In front of BHG Bugis)

ABBEY: I thought this was one of our usual massage session but I was wrong. Ina Spa is one of the shops at the busy place of Bugis. We made a reservation at 6:30PM. Unfortunately, we were half an hour early and we were asked to pass some time first as there is no available masseurs yet. We came back at exactly the appointed time but was told if we can have it the earliest at 9PM which really set my mad mood on. Sensing that we will not give in for any other day or a very late time, we got a slot at 8.  Just want to finish the long day, I sat down on the massage chair. The masseur washed my feet. The session includes a back massage as well. My tensed muscles started to loosen. Few minutes later, I was relaxed. And when the foot massage began, it was all worth the wait.  Fang Fang made my feet numb. Haha. I can't feel them after the session. I feel like like I'm floating. This is recommended. I hope they can have more masseur so they can accommodate more customers.  ...

Social Square by MOF (Waterway Point)

ABBEY: From time to time, we dine outside usually after our weekly grocery.  We went to Social Square @ Waterway Point. It is one of the brands of MOF (Ministry of Food). I got Grilled Chicken Pesto (S$15.00). The chicken is moist and juicy. And the pasta yummy and got flavorful taste of pesto. Wow. Social Square by MOF (Waterway Point) - Plain Udon + Kakiage Tempura Social Square by MOF (Waterway Point) Grilled Chicken Pesto Social Square by MOF (Waterway Point) - Menu Social Square by MOF (Waterway Point) - Menu WILL:  I am more of an "udon" person than a ramen and on that week I am craving for it but CitlyLink's Mall is seriously far from our flat, so we decided to hunt an udon at Waterway Point at Punggol and we found Social Square.  No hesitation and second thought, I went for Plain Udon + Kakiage Tempura ($14.80). I dug in as the attendant placed my meal in front of me. The udon is firm as usual, the kakiage is crisp and not faltering...

Gold Class (VivoCity) - Golden Village Cinemas

ABBEY: We pampered ourselves by booking a pair of Golden Village Gold Class tickets to watch The Great Wall premiere for 120.50SGD.  It was Christmas day and people flocked the mall as well as the theaters. But for us, we enjoyed our time in the Gold Class lounge. Aside from the snacks that comes with ticket purchase (date pudding with vanilla ice cream and a glass of brut), we got a box of popcorn for a few cents more than the usual but no queues. Yes, the food were delivered to your seat. The lazy-boy-type seat is comfortable. I gave all the blankets to Wilma as she got very cold. Haha. It was a good experience. But I hope the price should be less :) And also if the table can be dragged towards you to ease the process of munching your snacks, it would be better.  They also offer sodas, juice, fries and burgers on their menu. With just a push of a button (like in a plane) they will come and attend to your needs. Gold Class (VivoCity) - Golden Village Cinemas -...

Sankranti (Everyday Festival) - Fine Dining @ Changi Business Park

ABBEY: In search of great-tasting briyani, my colleague told me about Sankranti.  They have a branch at Plaza 8 (Changi Business Park). I had chicken briyani. It comes with raita and gravy and two big pieces of chicken. It is delicious. I got a take-away for Wilma so she can taste the food treasure that I discover.  She liked it and finally we dined there after meeting with the Philippine President Duterte.  It doesn't come cheap (~12SGD) but worth it.

Of course Bismillah is an exception. Ha!  I will rate Sankrati's Briyani to be one of the best...
