Saizeriya

our dinner!

escargots...



the spicy spinach n bacon...



the spinach n bacon was quite soft and the spicy level was just right for me. i like it.

Shrimp salad...



while its nice, i MUCH MUCH MUCH PREFER THEIR PORK SALAD! i'm VERY UPSET THEY REMOVED IT FROM THEIR MENU! its the pork salad dats bringing me back!

crabby's some mushroom pasta...



bunny's bacon aglio...



and my hamburger steak wif pork slices...



i like their pork slices! so tender and the texture is good!

the baked rice...



Tawi's spicy clam pasta...



the squid ink pasta i insisted on ordering...



which turned out to be quite not much taste.

we were actually quite full already and didnt really had room for desserts but fishy went.." desserts anyone? "

squiddy excitedly went.. " the the the chocolate truffle "

fishy went.. " ya! "

tawi replied.. " a tiramisu will be good "

den i added.. " ok loh, den i want the panna cotta too! "

the chocolate truffle thingy was out so they ordered some italian duno wat ice cream thingy....



the ice cream parts were ok, smooth n all but the bottom part had almond essence taste! most of us don't like it!

my panna cotta....



specially flown in from italy they say! it was not bad! i've had too many bad panna cottas lately. this is considered pretty good. the better ones will be from valentino and incontro!

tiramisu...



also not too bad!

Ben Ten Cafe

food wise, ben ten's items were generally average. nothing super good but relatively reasonably priced.









and den... one of the reasons why we are here!



this is called the never give up ice cream! they have an even bigger one which i wanted to order, abt $30 odd! but the rest refused saying we cannot finish particularly since clammy left n fishy n tawi is now well blah blah blah....

but the other one was much prettier to cam whore! haha

so i compromised for a never give up.

Skinny Pizza

dinner was with cam and irene over at Skinny Pizza....





was raving to them about the food.

i told them the truffle fries are a must have!



and we also shared 2 pizzas!

i was quite excited to try the mushroom n the spinach and egg one. but the server recommended the squid ink so we decided to go for the mushroom and the squid ink.

the squid ink one was really special! it was in black!



really thin pizza and taste wise, i found it alright.



den was the mushroom truffle...



i felt that the mushroom truffle one was nicer in terms of taste but i think they truffle taste was nt strong enough. but overall it was nice and i'd still want to come back to try their spinach and egg!

also, finally had a try of their desserts.

we ordered a hazelnut chocolate kinda cake....



its the kind with this hazelnut crunch except its not exactly crunchy. its more of a softer version so didnt really find it fantastic.

den was a noghurtine (if i spelt correctly)...




this was so nice! its some cream like thingy on the outside but its really light and the inside is some white chocolate like cream texture with macademia nut bits! reminded me of secret receipe's white chocolate macademia nut albeit its much softer (and more expensive of coz). haha

Vittles

we did dinner at Vittles....



Gerald had a soft shell crab pasta...



i had some beef goulash pasta...



the sauce was not bad. most importantly, i think the price of the food here is quite reasonable.

but i was a little full from the late lunch we had earlier so they helped me to finish some of the pasta.

eileen had a baked seafood pasta..



also quite tasty.

Secret Recipe

had lunch with eileen at secret recipe.

i had beef stew...



beef was a little too tough.

eileen had dessert...



i had a brownie dat was a bit too hard...

my lawry's cut...



and the very yummy yorkshire pudding....




lawry's never disappoints!

they will be shifting soon to mandarin hotel. I hope it will all still be as good!

Skinny Pizza

Skinny pizza...



we shared a mushroom soup...



it was thick and good.

Truffle fries....



UNFORGETTABLE! Shan and myself liked it soooo much! The truffle taste was just fabulous!

for pizza wise, we had some breakfast pizza....



comes with egg and bacon and cheese...



also a half metre beef sausage...



the sausage was yummy too! i love rockets and they gave lotsaaaaa it!

the suntec outlet didnt haf most of the desserts on the dessert menu plus we were pretty full so we went for the alcoholic ice cream instead!



one is a malibu pineapple, one is a whisky and one is a black russian!

Joey's one was super strong.. shan's malibu was ok, i like my black russian!

Triple 3

triple 3 has always been one of my fav hotel buffet restaurants. I really liking their free flow lobsters (now no longer available), their orange butter (now also no longer available) and yummy savoury food items (ok la, still have a bit).

the buffet is about $72 ++ but with the eat @ meritus card, its 50% off for 2 pax. Its only worth it with the discount.

the cheese spread....





they have a good variety of cheese! they even have my favourite blue cheese!! YumS!

some of the savoury food items like herbal chicken in cream sauce (quite unique!), salmon lasagna (yummy!) and coffee braised beef ribs (pretty good!)



the roast duck and noodles section....



cha soba....




roasted wagyu beef!




got us all excited for awhile but den we realised its not tender at all. quite disappointing in fact.

turkey in conjuction with the festive season...





sushi and sashimi....



chilled seafood spread....



tempura items and chawanmushi...



pasta (their aglio pasta is good!)



teppanyaki....



desserts....











the desserts were all just mediocre. oh yes, they are also one of the few buffet places that serve assorted chocolates! the variety is much lesser now thou. they used to have really good varieties of chocolate pieces.
