Victoria has suggested Hua Ting for our big group gathering, but didnt really have that chance at all.. so me and wife decided to come here on our own to try out this place..
Orchard Hotel is located almost at the beginning of Orchard Road, but it is a also a good place for people who can do some branded shopping after a nice meal, and maybe take a slow walk towards the heart of the city...
Hotel has a very cosy  ambience, and with its escalator up to level 2, you can already feel the serenity of it.

if you walks towards the entrance you will be greeted by a little of "zen" decor

and with a big bowl of flowers greeting you

and a Feng shui elements which bring wealth to the restaurant

Inside decor is very unique and grand.. and it makes you feel that their food must be great, and you will know it later...

With a perfect table setting, you really cant wait to order something immediately

Menu is big and with its red coloured on the cover, it makes you feel auspicious that day



Lets try the braised peanut, very soft, and not salty,, this is good.

Phoenix Claw is one of my favourite, with the fat running inside your mouth, it is really fun eating it, not spicy at all.. it is a thumbs up for me


Yam Dumpling is one of my wife's favorite... brown crispy skin on the outside and meaty on the inside... meat are juicy and tender.. great stuff


Scallop Dumpling is rather unique here, just want to let u know, eat it while it is hot, be careful of its soup in the dumpling

nothing fantastic on the Char Siew Cheong Fan, the skin roll are thick, and it really makes you feel full very fast

Wanton Noodle is the best so far, rich in everything :P.. rich in gravy, rich with fungus, rich in wanton.. yummy.. must try

Glutinous Fruits for dessert.. we taste better,,,


overall verdict, 4 out of 5
here is the place

Here comes another saturday, and I suggest that this time lets go back to the Dome in Shaw house for that Spag Noodle... we have no problem with that, so after sending our clothing to the laundry and we headed our way to the Shaw House...
We were ushered to a table that we can sit comfortably, probably the traffic is still not crowded.. but nontheless, this is also a good place for friends gathering or maybe some gossiping too

after sitting down, we browse through the colour menu, they have breakfast, Pasta, grilled, sandwiches, and not forgetting cakes too

we quickly ordered our pot lemon tea, and if you need lemon, you will need to request for it..

we help ourselves with the magazine on the side of the table while waiting for the waiter to approach us

Plain water with unique glass holder

and here comes our ordering
we ordered a Amtriciana linguine, bacon, with thick tomato paste, and not forgetting it is spicy too, and its taste marvelous,
Pepperoni Tomato Spaghetti, which is rich in tomatoe paste, and with the bounciness of the spaghetti.. it really makes you want to have more...

Mushroom Cream spag with reach cream which are not "gelat" and with lots of mushroom with it.. yummy

Seafood Tomato Spaghetti with some spiciness, of course with prawns, cut squid, and the best part is, they sprinkle some thin slice cheese on it,, and it is not salty at all...

on top of that, we add another $3 to each set to have either a Mushroom soup or salad.. and we choose one of each..

The salad are full of greens, it really helps you with your digestive system, and with it own concoction spread, I actually as for another topping

Mushroom soup is rich with creamy taste, and you know what, you can even taste all the small cut mushroom in it.. this is what i call it a real mushroom soup...

Over all, it is not a bad place to have your lunch, but when you are really there,, dont forget to try the crayfish spag.. it is super delcious.
to go there,, you can  take a train to the orchard MRT station, and it is just a 5 mins walk...
here is the place, this is a die die must go place,, remember to look for Joseph... hehehe

Me and my wife always wanted to bring my mum to Waraku to try out their maki and their noodles, and this time we take this opporunity to bring my parents and my sister since my sis is in town,,

We were late that day, but we manage to reach there in time and we were escorted to a so call "cosy corner"..
we went through their menu.. our conclusion is,  actually there are really not much choices to choose from, and there are nothing special compare to Nogawa...
Adult Menu

Children Menu
Table setting with the neccessity
anyway.. since we here, lets do some ordering...
we order a Shio Ramen for my dad, well.. according to my dad, soup are blend but the noodle are bouncy, the serving are rather little for my dad, and so we keep on ordering for more.. I think that is the whole purpose.. they want you to order more
A Yakiniku Don for my mum, and it is very tasty, my mum loves it, the sauce really brings out the taste of the beef, and its really have that tender texture on it

my sis is ordering the Curry Kishimen, well, she did say she likes it, not really spicy, but from afar, the curry aroma can really reaches you..

as for my young niece. we ordered children Udon Set for Jia min...
she loves udon very much... and of course her mum will devour the tempura prawn... kekeke
The frying part is crispy, salad on it are fresh.. in fact, this is a good affordable dish for children, I must say

as for my wife, we order 2 Ura Maki (yummy yum yum), we really like the way they arrange it, very professional,, with the rich roe surroung its maki,, it really makes you wanting to have more...

look at the ingredients, doesnt it makes you feel hungry?
there is nothing special about this Agesashi Tofu, as we taste better elsewhere..  but for a start,, it is not that salty, and it taste great if you were to eat with their rice

Tonpei Yaki.. shredded cabbage with omelette on top, and compliment with mayo and teriyaki sauce... this is indeed very nice and healthy dish

my sis actually requested if we can order the Soft Shell crab and Salmon Sashimi..
sure.. why not...

take note that the softshell crab is a little oily, by the time it reaches our table, the crab is no longer crispy, and with its soggy fried flour,, it can really make you lost your appetite
some of the food taste nice...
and if you  were to ask me..
remember to try the Ura Maki... thats why we order 2 plates... "buah hahahaha"

This is a event that occured on the 19th Jan 2008......

As usual we went for our swim every Saturday Morning...(for the next weekend, I will try to take some pictures of the pool and upload here)
My wife has suggested why dont we try out the salad bar from Sizzler.. we accidentally spotted this place 2 weeks ago.. and found that the price is actually quite reasonable..
And hence, we decided to try it out...
the only thing that I dont really like is that, I think they are under staff... so dont expect any immediate service from the watier and waitress..

 but,,,, please do try the food and salad bar.., it is really good...

This is my salad choice of selection...mmmm.. it looks healthy isnt it ..:P

wait till u taste this Minestrone soup.. it has this strong tomato taste and with it rich in ingredient, I actually go for the second serving.. slurrpppyyy..
We browsed through the menu, and we really cant make up our mind what we want to eat.. finally, this will be our order...

we ordered a Bacon and Beef Burder for me.. this is the most tender beef burger I have ever taste..
it is juicy, but not oily.. that is why it is good.. and with the bacon grilled with it.. it really brings out the aroma of the beef...

we also order a tempura Prawn set for my wife.. actually, i dont find it interesting... I think the japanese restaurant make better prawn tempura...
the next that I want to mention is their fries... wow... it is better the McDonald Fries.. soft, crispy and delicious.. u should try...

Before I end.. you guys should really try the salad bar.. it is eat all you can salad bar..., of course they have vege ( all types ), different pastas, 3 type of soup you can choose from, and finale, ice cream... thats right.. eat all u want... until u drop... and you can even twirl anyway you like

here is the location... so .. have a nice lunch and dinner :)
