ABBEY: We went to Prego to have dinner with my wife’s boss.
I got Pancetta di Maiale in Porchetta. I can still hear the crunch as I teeth sunk the skin. Wow. And the meat is so tender and bursting in flavors. For sharing we had the Prego pizza with mozzarella, mushrooms, sun-dried tomato, ham and parmesan. Of course we didn’t pass the opportunity to put a whole burrata on top of it. It was heavenly.
We ate all the pieces. It was always a great idea to catch up in a good place with good food.

Prego: Casual Italian Dining in a Hotel Setting - Pizza with Burrata
WILL: Dining in hotel restaurants can sometimes seem intimidating for people like me. It's not just the price but also the people that might surround you. Prego, however, serves a different experience. It is as casual as restaurants you might find inside a mall—not too noisy nor too formal. It's perfect for families or friends who want a quiet place to catch up.
Since Prego is an Italian restaurant, we ordered pizza topped with burrata, carbonara, seafood pasta, tiramisu, and of course, porchetta. The porchetta was the star of the night. The crunchy skin of the pork, plus the juicy and melting fat, was simply irresistible! Mama mia!! The tiramisu, on the other hand, might not taste like the ones you've had in Italy, but it’s still worth trying.
Highly recommended! Thanks to All Accor Plus for the 50% discount! Yayyy!
Premier Fine Dining Dim Sum Buffet in Singapore | Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Beach Road
WILL: Abbey passed 4 certifications from Oracle and he decided to celebrate those on a dim sum buffet at Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Beach Road.
We arrived 30mins early on a Sunday and because Singapore is still on DORSCON Orange Circuit Breaker Phase 2, we can’t linger around at Parkroyal’s lobby. We just stand in front of the restaurant.
Exactly 1130, their doors opened for diners and we were advised that they will serve first the specialities on menu. My favourite in that is the steamed dumpling with seafood in clear soup, it is packed with seafood (of course) and not typically served in a different dim sum restaurant.
After they served their specials, we started ordering that seems appetizing on the menu. The two items that really shoots on me are the sliced pork in garlic and chili sauce and the boiled spare ribs soup with golden mushrooms, bean curd and preserved capsicum. Why I like those? First the sliced pork is very tender and complements well with the spiciness of chili sauce and the pork ribs gingery/spicy soup gives a soothing relief on that rainy day.
It is totally recommended for you to try dim sum buffet of Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Beach Road. One tip is order food by batch, well at least 5-7 plates, there’s a time a that all guests arewaiting for the dim sums to be served for more than 30mins.
