Ban Heng Restaurant Harbourfront Branch - Dinner Ala Carte Buffet

ABBEY: Ban heng is located at the fourth storey of Harbourfront Centre. In here we have farewell dinner with Kar Yin. 

They are offering a 22SGD ala carte buffet. By the time we get there, I immediately get a bowl of congee. It has thin slices of pork and century egg and I topped it with green onions. Next is a plate of Chinese fried rice combo with our ala carte orders; deep fried chicken, honey glazed pork ribs, fish in sweet soy sauce, sweet and sour pork, and roasted pork. I think I really like the roasted pork then dip in balsamic vinegar as I finished 4 orders of that :) 

Be cautious in taking a bite with their fried chicken, it is spicy. I also finished the leftover hor fun of April. It was delicious and the fish taste good. This place is recommended for wedding or company affairs.













WILL: It is my fault, I thought their dimsum buffet is served until dinner but I am wrong. Anyways we were there so we just decided to go for Chinese cuisine buffet dinner. 

We ordered too many food and there are few of them that I will not ever forget. First is their Gong Bao Chicken, then their out of this world thick Fried Hor Fun with Sliced Fish with Egg Gravy, their Deep-Fried "Soon Hock" with Superior Soya Sauce and their sweet yum. 

It is a great place for you and your tourist friends that want to splurge for food without emptying the wallets. One of the best and yet cheap buffets in Singapore!

Cafe Mondo at Orchard Central

ABBEY: After our sumptuous dinner, our bodies are going for shutdown. But still we're not at home, we're in a mall. So we went to Cafe Mondo. 

I was about to order their signature hot chocolate but their affogato entry caught my eye. For 7.5sgd I got a shot of espresso with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Yes it was small but it gave me a jolt. The vanilla ice cream is smooth and creamy. Half of it I melted with the espresso; instant ice-creamed coffee :)

They also serve pasta, cakes, chilled beverages and tea.








WILL: Its a waste of time, money and experience if you do not try the varieties of cafes here in Singapore. So after our fulfilling meal at Tony Roma's we paved our way to Cafe Mondo for a dose of hot drinks. 

It is one of your unusual cafes that you can find at the stretch of Orchard Road. It was exactly located at Orchard Central 2nd floor.

Since my throat is shouting for me to take liquid in and my brain wars me that taking anything in to my stomach will make me vomit and that is the reason I asked for Calming Your Tummy tea. 

When I soaked the teabag the water turns to green then after few seconds turned to brown. Sip by sip my tummy pacifies. Love the minty taste and soothing effect. 

Delight yourself and check it this out cafe that serves coffee, tea and ice cream in one roof :)

Tony Roma's Singapore - Signature Trio or Anniversary Trio

ABBEY: Tony Roma's Suntec City celebrates its 20th anniversary. And from July 1 to August 31, they're having an offer to taste their Anniversary and Signature trios, yes for 20SGD++ only. But the magic doesn't end there. It is not only valid in Suntec City but also at their branch at Orchard. 

Since it is halfway between mine and Wilma's office, we went to latter. I got the Anniversary platter. It comes with a soup (potato), mozarella sticks, fish and chips, baby back ribs and salad. As usual I was able to finish it all and my tummy so full. It was a good dinner as we also celebrate Ate Monnette's promotion. So you know who paid the bill :) 

Congratulations Tony Roma's and Ate Monnette.








WILL: This is our second visit in Tony Roma's but this time it is on their Orchard Central branch. They do not accept reservation and we are truly lucky that we arrived there with more unoccupied table. 

We ordered our food while waiting for the star of that dinner, Ate Monnette. We, three girls went for Signature Trio. Once the soup was served my colleagues reached seconds after. We linger in the hot potato soup. Soup is an appetiser but it make us quite full. Haha. Plateful of food was served and we immediately dig in. Their ribs is really remarkable, tender and meat is tasty and the bones also clings on its flavour. The fries is too much and I just got only one few slices of my chicken and Abbey finished my fries. $20.00++ for this is truly a great deal. 

Thanks for the treat newly promoted Ate Monette. :) more more promotion to come. ;)
