Woody's Pub Cafe

Happened to pop by this place that day and quite like the enviroment, a place which is quite similar to Seletar Pub where you can chill and mingle with your friends. So I went and arrange a dinner here to catch up with 2 of my close friends. Location is near to Sembawang park, behind those landed property.
Looking through their menu, they have buffalo wings and that is one of the reason I came too :P They serve Peranakan food too but the price here I would said is quite steep. End up we ordered a plate of curly fries with cheese, half dozen of Spicy buffalo wings and a M hawallian pizza to share.

Their buffalo wings have 4 different levels I think it start with the very mild than mild than spicy and than very spicy. So they decided to try their Spicy level but based on my friends they said is roughly the level 2 to 3 at Seletar buffalo wings. For me, not a spicy lover this is too hot for me to take a second bite but as for my friends they like the wings here as they find it more tender comparing to other places. But they prefer the taste at Seletar, I would only said is up to indivual as everyone has differnt taste bud. Hmmm maybe they should steal their recipe and create a version on their own lolz.

My complain is their so called Hawallian pizza!! Hard crust, super thick cheese on top with very little filling, you can really forget about ordering their pizza. Curly fries with thick and creamy cheese, kids will love this.
Total bill is about $70 include 4 root beer float for 4 person. Reason for me to come back here again is to have a drink with my friend, chill out and relax but as their food I doubt I will order again.

Lai Wah Restaurant

Happened to be around Bendemeer and this good friend of mine suddenly suggested to go to this Lai Wah restaurant for dinner. He mention to us that this restaurant started way before we were born, is an old traditional Chi Zar restaurant. This restaurant was located below the HDB flat and thou is located near the main road but it can hardly be seen unless to those who have been here before or stay around this area.

This restaurant give me a very old school feeling like those older generation who held their wedding in this kind of restaurant, it was not crowded yet when the time we reached. We were served with a plate of peanut and chinese tea when we were seated. They have quite alot of variety and they also served set menu here. I wanted Prawn Paste Chicken Wing but the auntie said they don't have it anymore, kinda of disappointed. So ended up we decided on the Fried Prawn, Garlic Pork Chop, Belacan Kangkong, Sweet & Sour Fish and Fu Rong Egg. Their menu are mainly in chinese, pardon me for this as I can't really remember the name of the dish.

I must admit that the food here are quite nice but the price range are a little steep maybe due to their popularity. Overall the bill comes up to $75 for 3 person, whether is it expensive or not is up to you all to judge.

Their address printed on the napkin

- Garlic Pork Chop
I thought it will come in slices because it stated Pork Chop but it was in chunk. This is really nice, the meat is very tender and fragrant. The taste of garlic is just nice, not to strong, give this dish a try.

-Sweet and Sour Fish
By looking at the colour of the fish my feeling tell me that this dish is not going to be nice but surprising it taste better than I thought.The fish was soft and fresh and the sauce match perfectly.


-Belacan Kangkong
This dish is almost the same as what we ate outside but here their Belacan is not very spicy and the vegetable is very crunchy and fresh.

 
-Fried Prawn
Okay, this dish is expensive lolz. I do not know what is that called that wrap with the prawn but it is very crispy and most of all is not oily. Prawn are big and fresh, no shell and it is very crunchy.

 
-Fu Rong Dan
Hmmm.... Common dishes nothing much to said on this.

Furama Riverfront The Square

My sister has this Buffet Club member so we decide to go to Furama Riverfront to try out their buffet on my sister birthday. At first I got them confuse because I told there is only one Furama which is located at Outram than I realise I lead them to the wrong Furama lols.

Furama Riverfront is near to the famous club disco Zouk. The restaurant we had our buffet is called The Square. There isn't much crowd when we arrived, the restaurant was quite big, quiet and ambience was quite nice too. But but but the food here was so-so only, no fresh oyster and the variety was very little too. Their sashimi was very fresh and I like their apple strudel, I ate 2 of this :P

Though their buffet is consider cheap but for the food they serve I will said is not worth it. This will be the first and the last time I visit them. Original price was around $35 per head for dinner.

Sashimi
Pasta
Panda Chicken
Apple strudel

Chuan Lai Guo Zhi Wang (Macpherson Kway Chap)

I was craving for the kway chap at Macpherson and it was just a 5 min drive from my office. A nice brother of mine came all the way down to accompany me for lunch as I was so sick of the food around my office lols.

I guess I don't need to introduce much on the kway chap here as it was so popular and well known among every of us. But one thing to highlight the kway chap here are quite expensive, we order a plate of the mixed pig organ with duck meat and 2 kway for 2 person cost us $13. Try their fried pig intestine ($8) is crispy and nice. Best thing about their kway chap here is that they are not very oily and their pig organ are properly clean as they don't have the stinky smell. They are open till midnight so anyone craving for kway chap late at night may consider coming here.

Jerry's BBQ & Grill (Jalan Kayu)

Went out for supper on last saturday, had no idea what to eat at first and out of the sudden I craved for buffalo wings. So we head to Jalan Kayu to tried Jerry's since seletar had closed for order at the time we went out.

Jerry's was located along the stretch of the Selegie Beancurd stall. Jerry's is quite a nice place to chill or relax and chat chit with friends, I wished I had come earlier. Their Buffalo Wings only have 3 levels to choose from, I am a person who can't really take spicy so I choosed the level one which was called Smoked Buffalo Wings and a plate of Calamari Rings.

Calamari was crispy and luckily it was soft and not taste like 'rubber' lolz :P Buffalo wings, nicely decorate but can't taste any spicyness at all. The buffalo wings taste like sweet and sour chicken to me, is like fried chicken wings with the sweet and sour sauce over it. It is really different from what I ate at seletar, I still prefer Seletar over Jerry's but if the wings at Seletar will be as crsipy as Jerry's wow I think it will be perfect lolz :P

Total bill: $32 for 2 person another thing to add the Buffalo Wings at Jerry's is cheaper than the one at Seletar.

Hog's Breath Robertson Walk

Have I update my blog on Hog's Breath? Oh dear I must have miss it lols

A salesman came to my office on a particular and sold me this promotion card for $25 for Hog's Breath 1-for-1 at Robertson Walk, I was tempted and so I brought the card from him. Made a reservation and met up my friends at Hog's for dinner to enjoy the offer. Wow this place is seriously very quiet, no crowds and the only noisy thing we can hear was the blender lols.

On their menu majority are beef and for a non beef eater like me there is nothing much I can eat, so I ordered a Fish and Chip for myself as for my friends they order a Jack Chicken, Beef Steak and a Beef Steak with Prawn and Buffalo Wings to share.

Fish and Chip as you can see from my picture the serving was so pathetic, nothing much to comment on this, it is just like those that can be found at Kopi Diam. Jack Chicken I should have ordered this instead it is so much better than my Fish and Chip. The sauce of this Jack Chicken taste like BBQ sauce to me lols. My friends who ordered the Beef steak said it was quite good, I guess that is because their more specialist in Beef. Buffalo Wings was good but compare to Seletar I think I still like this :P

Without this card I doubt I will come here for dinner. Total bill comes up to $20(estimated) per pax after the 1-for-1 promotion.

Tiffany Cafe @ Furama City Centre

It was my friend birthday so we decided to treat her to Tiffany Cafe for dinner. They are having this 1-for-1 with OUB cards so I would say is pretty affordable for the price you pay and for the food you get at Tiffany Cafe. Pretty crowded during dinner time even it was a weekday and it was quite noisy too due to the crowds. My friend wanted to order a can of coke but was shocked when they are selling a can of coke at $6! Is was a International buffet but not much of varieties, no Oyster and Japanese corner only have Salmon and Squid which is kind of pathetic. I went to try the raw sotong from the salad corner which make me feel like throwing up after chewing on it. Chef corner only have 3 types, BBQ stingray, Mutton and Crispy noodle with gravy. We had their dessert more LOL the Durian Puree was a bit disappointed it does not have the strong fragrant of the Durian smell, the Chocolate Eclairs was not bad. For me I think once is enough I doubt I will go back for their buffet again. Buffet dinner at Tiffany Cafe is at $41++ on weekdays.

Must try:
1) Cooked Prawns (Sweet, juicy and fresh)
2) Crispy noodle with gravy
3) Mutton (no mutton smell)
4) Smoked Salmon
5) Salmon (Fresh)
6) Durian Puree (so-so)
7) Chocolate Eclairs
