[CLOSED] Flavours at Zhongshan Park – Superstar Zichar Semi-Buffet

My first encounter with Chef Melvin Lim's creation of Ah Hood Burger was during the Ultimate Hawker Festival 2014. It was a combination of Savoury Kong Ba Bao and Salted Egg Yolk Lobster Crab Cake with Curry Mayonnaise. I was impressed by its creativity and the tastiness of its creation.

So when we were looking for a place for a friends' gathering, we decided to give Flavours of Zhongshan a try. The Chef had just recently came out with a Semi Buffet Zichar. In case you are confused, it is a combination of buffet spread with some ala minute zichar dishes. It is also a fusion style of cooking where the some of the dishes are the meeting between East and West style of cooking.

[CLOSED] Concetto – Italian by Saveur

Concetto by Saveur

Saveur - a French restaurant set up by Mr. Dylan Ong, Mr. Joshua Khoo and another business partner with the aim to offer quality yet affordable French cuisine to the masses. After the successful outlet of Savour in Purvis Street and Far East Plaza, these two young entrepreneurs just can't keep still and decided to set up a Italian sibbling for Saveur, thus Concetto was born.

Little Devil ('LD') and I have tried Saveur, for the price we actually find it quite good. So when the opportunity arises, we decided to tried Concetto. Unlike Saveur that always packed with crowd, we manage to get a seat in Concetto on a Saturday afternoon without any problem.

Oven & Fried Chicken – Okkudak or Ssal Dak [MEDIA INVITE]

Oven & Fried Chicken

Oven & Fried Chicken ('OFC') is a Korean joint that serve not only the famous KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) but also Roasted / Oven Baked Chicken. OFC brought in Okkudak and Ssal Dak from Korea. Okkudak are famous for its oven baked chicken, while Ssal Dak is popular for its fried chicken.

While this will be the first time, I try Korean Oven Baked Chicken, I can't say the same about the Korean Fried Chicken. The most popular companion for KFC are Beer. So we are not surprise the Hoegarden Beer Tower was part of the tasting session. Be warned, if you find the name of the dish are grammatically wrong, it is based on the name on the menu. This is to tell you it is Authentic Korean :)

[CLOSED] Todai Singapore – Happy 4th Birthday [MEDIA INVITE]

Wow, times really fly. I still remember my first visit to Todai in October 2011. I remember three things clearly from that day, Fried Ginseng, lots of creative sushi and unique plastic face mask wore by the kitchen staff there. The review are still up in HungryGoWhere website, click here!!

Oyster and Crabs - Tasting Serving

When I got the invitation for food tasting for their 4^th Birthday menu, I did not hesitate to say yes.. For a restaurant to last 4 years, they must have done something right.

The Kitchen Table – Food from The Heart Buffet

I have heard about the reputation of W Singapore through social media and other bloggers posting. So when there was for SPG member promotion (Starwood Preferred Guest) popped up on my FB page, there was no reason to delay our food adventure there. Food from The Heart Buffet 1 for 1* promo valid from Monday to Thursday dinner at $65++ per pax. Offer ends 31 March 2015.

The Drink Bar

Distance to W Singapore might be a turn-off for people who are not driving. Located at one end of Sentosa Cove, it take about a good 5 mins plus drive in from the Sentosa gantry. While driving towards the destination, we have to watch out for the multiple speed cameras. As I'm not familiar with the area, I drove like a turtle here, 40 km / hour. Meanwhile the Lamborghini and Ferrari who stays in the cove, zooming pass like nobody business. Gosh!!

[CLOSED] GGB Bistro Bar & Cafe (Go-Go Bambini)

GGB Bistro Bar & Cafe ('GGB'), is the F&B establishment owned by the same shareholder of Go Go Bambini. The idea is to provide a place for parents to relax while the kids having their activities in the kids playground next door and for children Birthday parties. 

We actually find this place by accident. Looking for something different for lunch, we found this quiet cafe in the middle of Dempsey. From the parking lot, you will not notice that it has any relations with the Go Go Bambini, until you step into the indoor dining area. From here you can see the connecting door to the indoor playground. Even if you need to use the restroom, you need to go through indoor playground section.
