Bakerzin - United Square

Have not ate at Bakerzin for a while, was happy that the vendor suggested we meet there for lunch. Food is still good. Menu pricing especially their set lunches are quite attractive. Service was a little .... hmmm... ok, they are nice, but quite a number of new and not too experienced staff.



Cream of Asparagus



 The soup came with the set lunch, very creamy and little chunks of asparagus.

I cannot remember the exact name of the pizza. I choose it because it was ham and bacon. It is different from other pizzas as it is a flaky pastry base instead of your regular dough or crispy crusts. It was very tasty and did not taste oily. Really good for a light lunch as the portion is not too huge.

The next time I want to try Braised Pork Belly rice, which I see seem to be a popular dish.

Big O Cafe

Mushroom Soup



Chicken Fillet wrapped in Bacon



Relaxed atmosphere, good food and good desserts. Seems like they often have promotions with credit cards. I know DBS used to have a 1 for 1 offer there. Currently, both Citibank and UOB has a voucher for return visit.

Mushroom soup was a generous serving that came in a large bowl. Despite being the soup of the day, this is not those diluted watery soup. It was thick, creamy with lots of chopped mushroom.

I am a sucker for bacon, so the chicken fillet wrapped in bacon was absolutely delightful for me. The chicken pieces were lightly panfried and then wrapped with bacon so it retained all the freshness and was not too dry. The sauce was citrusy and was very appetitising. The black pepper sauce was served at the side so you determine how much you want to add. Topped by a side serving of mashed potato.

Mango Cheesecake from da paolo Gastronomia

Quick post.

Was at Great World City saw they were selling cakes at da paolo Gastronomia. All looked tempting and interesting.

Bought a slice of mango cheesecake. Quick snapshot before I attacked it.

I think it is value for money. Not too sweet, firm enough and the base it not too wet or loose.

Pu Tien Restaurant 莆田菜馆 (Marina Square)

Pu Tien has always been known for quite quality food. I tried the one at Tampines Mall which was extremely crowded and did not really enjoy my meal then.

Quite a large bunch of us descended upon the Marina Square outlet for dinner one night and we were pretty lucky they had a table that could accommodate all 12 of us.

Food was quite good. The garlic prawns and drunken cockles were amongst the best dishes. I am not a cockles person, but the way the cockles were prepared with the garlic masking all odour, it was simply fabulous. The deep fried duck with yam is another must try.

Golden Peony at Conrad Centennial Singapore

"Golden Peony is an award-winning Cantonese restaurant that exudes a sophisticated charm through the use of teak screens and a porcelain display of Chinese mythology. Located on level 3 of the hotel, Golden Peony is a picture of charming elegance and serenity.


Offering a unique Cantonese cuisine, Golden Peony is famous for its extensive East-meets-West menus, delicately prepared by top Hong Kong chefs. Providing a dining experience like no other, the restaurant offers superbly crafted Cantonese dishes prepared from only the choicest ingredients, some of which are specially imported from diverse regions in China. Significantly, the Hong Kong dim sum specialities served at the restaurant are unusual and not commonly available in Singapore."


Think we went there for lunch in May this year. Service level and pricing is what you expect from a restaurant in a 5 star deluxe hotel - high. Food quality, taste and presentation definitely lived up to expectations. Dim sum preparation is definitely authentic Cantonese way and the ingredients were very fresh.

Ichiban Boshi

One of my favourite Japanese chain restaurant. Good food and reasonable pricing.

These were taken quite some time back when I just got my LX3.
