Last night, we embarked on another buffet journey at @foodcapital.gcw Food Capital, the buffet restaurant located within the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. The international buffet spread was truly impressive, offering a diverse range of dishes to satisfy every palate.

From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were captivated by the stunning array of culinary delights. The seafood section was particularly enticing, featuring fresh oysters shucked to order and succulent snow crab legs. We were also intrigued by the giant grouper fish on display, which was used to prepare both a hearty fish soup and a crispy charcoal-fried fish.

Beyond the seafood, the buffet offered a wide variety of international dishes, including succulent roasted meats, flavorful curries, and delicate sushi. The sashimi selection, while not the most extensive, was still quite satisfying, with fresh and well-presented fish.

To conclude our culinary adventure, we indulged in a decadent dessert spread featuring a variety of cakes, pastries, and ice creams. It was the perfect way to end a truly satisfying dining experience.

Today, we visited @majicurrysg Maji Curry at Square 2, a place that has earned accolades for its Japanese curry rice with cheese sauce. With its reputation preceding it, we went in with high hopes, especially for the promised kick of its highest spice level.

Starting with the curry itself, we found it surprisingly mild, even at the highest heat level—it didn’t quite deliver the fiery punch we’d anticipated. For spice lovers, this might feel underwhelming. Moving on to the cheese sauce, we were hoping for a more pronounced, creamy richness to balance the curry. While the cheese added some creaminess, the taste felt muted when mixed with the curry, almost getting lost in the dish.

The hamburg patty was decent, well-cooked but not especially memorable. It’s definitely a good option if you’re new to Japanese curry or want a safe, comfort food experience, but it didn’t stand out as exceptional. Overall, while Maji Curry serves up a hearty plate, we were left wishing for a bit more depth and flavor intensity.

If you’re looking for a mild curry fix with a touch of cheese, Maji Curry could be worth a visit, but for bolder flavors, there might be better options in town.

At @chicco.sg Chicco Pasta Bar, you can expect some of the best pasta dishes in Singapore! This cozy spot delivers not only delicious food but also a laid-back atmosphere with fantastic service that makes you feel right at home.

We ordered two pastas, both served al dente to perfection. The highlight was definitely the Baked Rigatoni Chorizo. Baking it gave the dish a unique twist, adding a slightly crisp texture that balanced beautifully with the spicy, savory chorizo. It’s not your average pasta dish—this one has depth, with each bite packed with a delightful mix of textures.

To complement our meal, we ordered the Grilled Cauliflower side, and it was a winner. It had a nice char on the outside, bringing out a smoky flavor that paired perfectly with the sauce it was served with. Who knew cauliflower could be this addictive?

Nestled amid lush greenery, @wildseedsg Wildseed Café’s 1-Flowerhill location offers a peaceful al fresco setting that’s perfect for unwinding. The natural surroundings add a refreshing escape, setting the scene for a relaxing afternoon high tea.

The high tea set itself was a nice balance of local flavors and sweet indulgences. For savory bites, the Mushroom Tartlet was delightfully earthy, the Satay Chicken Croissant had a light touch of spice, and the Chili Crab Kueh Pie Tee added an adventurous flair with its classic Singaporean flavors.

As for the sweets, each item brought its own unique character. The White Chocolate Crémeux paired beautifully with a tart raspberry compote, while the Buttery Scone had an irresistible crumb, enhanced by zesty lemon curd and airy honey-whipped butter. The Blueberry Almond Tart featured creamy mascarpone, and the Peach & Lychee Vanilla Cake felt light and summery. The Salted Caramel Macaron added a sweet-salty crunch, but my favorite of the day had to be the Strawberry Shortcake! Its layers were light, fruity, and just the right amount of sweet to leave a lasting impression.

All in all, Wildseed Café’s high tea set is a lovely treat if you’re looking for a relaxing escape with nature-inspired vibes and a unique mix of flavors. Whether you’re in for a chat with friends or a quiet solo afternoon, it’s definitely worth a visit!

Sichuan Alley’s new outlet at Capitol is a delightful experience. We started with the adorable Bamboo Breeze cocktail, featuring a chocolate edible panda, which was fruity and refreshing.

The President noodles were a highlight, with tender beef brisket, flavorful pork ribs, and well-cleaned, delicious intestines. The deep-fried intestines were crispy and satisfying, while the fried dumplings exploded with savory soup in every bite.

The eggplant in a claypot was interesting, generously topped with minced meat, adding warmth and richness. However, the la zi ji (spicy fried chicken) was just average.

If you're looking for a lively dining experience, @blacktapsg Blacktap is a spot that delivers on atmosphere, especially with the buzz of tourists all around. The energy in the air is palpable, making it a fun place to enjoy a meal.

We started off with the seasonal Pecan Pie Crazyshake, and it was a true showstopper. The vanilla-frosted rim, adorned with Texas glazed pecans, was a sweet introduction to this indulgent treat. Topped with a slice of pecan pie, whipped cream, and a decadent caramel drizzle, it was a delightful dessert that satisfied both the eyes and the palate. It’s definitely a shareable dish—if you can bear to part with it!

Next up were the Korean BBQ wings. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful they were, perfectly cooked with a sticky glaze that had just the right amount of kick. They stood out as one of the evening’s highlights, showcasing a nice balance of sweet and savory.

However, the Guaca & Chips didn’t quite hit the mark. While not bad, it felt a bit average compared to the other dishes. The guacamole lacked the vibrant flavor I expected, and the chips were simply a vehicle for it rather than a standout component.

The star of the show was undoubtedly the Wagyu Steakhouse Burger. Juicy and flavorful, it came topped with cheese, bacon, and crispy onions, creating a perfect harmony of textures and tastes. The giant onion rings on the side were a fantastic accompaniment—crispy, golden, and absolutely addictive.

Nestled in Singapore's historic Arts House, URESHII sets a high standard for Korean-Japanese fusion, blending authentic flavors with premium ingredients in an intimate setting that's perfect for date nights. This unique spot not only boasts a beautifully crafted ambiance but also serves dishes with rich stories and well-sourced ingredients.

The Abalone Porridge was an instant standout. Prepared with abalone gut and only Jeju Island-sourced abalones, the porridge carried an intense depth of flavor that truly highlighted the unique qualities of this prized ingredient. Each bite offered a silky texture with a hint of briny sweetness, making it a comforting and memorable starter.

Then came the Yental Tonkatsu, a Korean pork cutlet made from high-quality sirloin from Hokkaido. Aged in milk and seasoned to perfection, this Tonkatsu was tender, juicy, and had a beautiful crisp coating. Honestly, it was one of the best Tonkatsu dishes we've had—each slice was succulent, and the flavor was nothing short of impressive.

URESHII doesn't skimp on portions either; each dish was generously served, providing incredible value for money given the premium ingredients and high-quality execution. For anyone looking to experience a creative twist on Korean-Japanese cuisine, URESHII is a must-visit, combining thoughtful dishes with a lovely, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and delicious dining experience in one of Singapore's most charming historic buildings!

Nong Geng Ji has opened a new outlet at Great World City, with promotions offering 12% off until November 9 and a fantastic 50% off from November 10 to 12—a great time to dive into their exciting Sichuan menu and try some unique flavors!

We started with two of their new additions. The Braised Beef Brisket with Potatoes was satisfying, with tender, flavorful potatoes and brisket that melts in your mouth. While the beef could have been a touch more tender, the dish still offered plenty of warmth and comfort. The Clay Pot Pork Bone with Tofu featured tofu well-soaked in a savory broth—subtle and enjoyable for those who prefer a lighter flavor.

Among the signature dishes, the Pan-Seared Green Chilies with Century Egg was a treat for spice lovers, bringing a bold kick with every bite. The Big Shrimp with Vermicelli stood out, showcasing fresh, juicy prawns steamed to perfection. The Stir-Fry Smoked Bamboo Shoots brought an aromatic, smoky depth that rounded out the flavors beautifully. For those who enjoy a firmer texture, the Signature Grass Fish with Chili had a satisfying chew and a nice balance of spice.

Some dishes were more delicate in flavor. The Sauerkraut Fish, for instance, had a mild soup base with small bones that may require a bit of extra attention. The Stir-Fried Pork with Abalone was flavorful, leaning slightly toward a saltier taste, which could appeal to those who enjoy bold seasoning.

We recently tried Gyu-Kaku’s new buffet menu, currently available at a promotional price of $48.80 until November 14. For a popular BBQ spot like this, the price offers good variety and is quite a value compared to their usual menu options.

Some highlights were the two flavors of Gyutan (beef tongue), Karubi, and Rosu – excellent picks for those who enjoy a wide selection. As a regular at Gyu-Kaku, having tried all their menus, I did notice a difference in quality with the new buffet menu. The meat texture was a bit chewier than usual, and the flavor didn’t have the same rich, beefy depth as before.

Still, it’s worth a try for the price, especially for anyone looking to enjoy a BBQ meal without overspending. A good choice for variety and value.

Here’s a perfect way to celebrate Yum Cha's 24-year journey—bringing back nostalgic dim sum favorites at an irresistible $2.40++ per item! These nine iconic dishes each brought back a unique flavor memory and left us craving more.

Every bite reminded us why these dishes are fan favorites. The Fried Yam with Scallop was crispy with a delicate touch of seafood, while the Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables offered that comforting, melt-in-the-mouth flavor we can't get enough of. For something with a hint of sweetness, the Golden Pumpkin Dumpling and Pumpkin Yam Golden Cake each brought out rich, autumn-inspired flavors.

We also loved the Scallop Roll in Filo Dough—its light, flaky texture balanced beautifully with tender scallop filling. Lucky Tangerine Fried Prawn Balls not only had us admiring their presentation but savoring the burst of prawn flavor with every bite. For a twist, the Otak Siew Mai and Black Garlic Shrimp Dumplings delivered complex flavors, while the Squid Ink Dumpling added a subtle briny depth that was a pleasant surprise.

And the Tea Pot Bun? The pièce de résistance of the anniversary celebration! It was a playful treat with a perfectly fluffy texture that paired wonderfully with Yum Cha's signature tea.

If you’re thinking of trying these, definitely go for one of each—they’re expertly made, nostalgic, and worth every cent.

Ajiya Okonomiyaki is a delightful little gem for Japanese food lovers, especially those with a soft spot for okonomiyaki. Nestled in a cozy yet comfortable space with traditional Japanese decor, the restaurant immediately transports you to Japan, making it a great spot to escape into a little slice of Japan right here in Singapore.

Their okonomiyaki, which you can make yourself or have the attentive staff prepare, stands out as one of the best we’ve tried in the Singapore. The ingredients are fresh, and each bite delivers the right balance of savory flavors with a hint of sweetness, all beautifully combined by the creamy Japanese mayo and tangy okonomiyaki sauce.

For an extra treat, we also tried the Gyutan, or grilled beef tongue, which the staff expertly grilled tableside. It was cooked to perfection, achieving that tender, smoky taste that’s hard to beat. However, the Yakisoba fell a bit short; while decent, it didn’t quite reach the same high standard as the other dishes.

If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors, Hoodadak is the place to be. Known for their rich and hearty Gukbap, this restaurant has nailed the taste of traditional Korean comfort food. We ordered the Daeeji Gukbap, and it arrived boiling hot, exactly as it should be. What impressed us were the small but significant details, like the baby shrimps they provided to mix in—a customary addition in Korea that lets you tailor the flavor to your preference.

We also tried the Dakgalbi, which was a real treat. The sauce had a delightful sweetness that paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice, balancing out the dish with every bite. As for the Kimbap, it had that authentic taste we love, bringing us right back to the streets of Korea.

The portions here are impressive—ideal for anyone with a big appetite or looking to share. For the quality and quantity of food, Hoodadak is amazing value for money. Whether you’re a Korean food enthusiast or trying Gukbap for the first time, Hoodadak is sure to leave you satisfied!
