Sbcd Korean Tofu House at Millenia Walk

Following after their first outlet at Tanjong Pagar Center, Sbcd opened their 2nd and much bigger outlet at Millenia Walk, taking over the previous Outback Restaurant.

The restaurant space is big but they seemed to be lacking of servers. We had to wait for 10 mins before getting one server's attention though there were empty tables around. When asked for tea, we had to approach 3 servers before tea was served. This happened to the table next to us as well.

Other than the slightly slow service, we must give thumbs up to their food. We ordered the spicy grilled chicken combo which comes with grilled chicken on hotplate and their signature soontofu. At $28.90, the combo set comes with sides and hotstone rice. 

The chicken was tenderly grilled and very well marinated. We had the beef soontofu with regular spiciness. The tofu was smooth and it goes excellently well with a fragrant bowl of rice. Rating: 4/5

We also had their unagi hotplate special at $19.90. 330g of tenderly grilled unagi on hotplate is nothing more one can ask with the price. The unagi is so fresh and simply delicious!! Rating: 4.2/5

We love the food there and with HSBC card, you can entitle 15% discount which is extremely worthwhile especially for the unagi special. So do visit Sbcd one of these days!

One Ice Cafe at Jcube Jurong East

One Ice Cafe, a mini open concept cafe located within J Avenue of Jcube, offers an affordable range of Korean bingsu which is rather popular among the students. Usual bingsus in Orchard can easily cost $12.90 and above but the bingsus here all cost less than $10.

The cafe has introduced belgium waffles with ice cream to add on the variety. Only 2 kinds are available: the buttermilk ($8.80) and red velvet ($11.80). Each waffle comes with one scoop of vanilla, chocolate or matcha ice cream and topped with chocolate syrup.

We opted for the buttermilk one with vanilla ice cream. The waffle is freshly prepared upon ordering. It is indeed crispy on the outside and fluffy and light on the inside.

What is lacking will be the waffle flavour. The chocolate syrup covered the taste entirely. Would prefer a more fragrant tasting waffle. Ice cream was a little hard but overall still acceptable.

Guess One Ice Cafe still offers better bingsu as compared to their waffle desserts.

MorganField's at Star Vista

MorganField's is definitely another great place for ribs besides Tony Romas. Portion is generous and service was excellent at the Star Vista branch. We were here today to have a little bossy gathering. We had lots of fun with great company and food.

Back to the main category, we ordered quite a bit. We had 4 different appetizers:

1. Sauteed mushrooms ($10.90) - sliced mushrooms with garlic powder. Tasted delicious. Rating: 4/5

2. Beer battered onion rings ($9.90) - deep fried onion rings that tasted good with beer itself. Rating: 4/5


3. Fried calamari ($12.90) - the batter was a little too thick but the calamari was fresh and soft. Rating: 3.5/5


4. Loaded chilli nachos ($13.90) - we love this appetizer best! Loads of pulled pork and corn with nacho cheese on tortilla chips. Abdolutely delicious! Rating: 4.2/5


5. Carnivore platter ($99.90) - serves 3 to 4 pple. Full slab of ribs with chicken, fries, salad, sausages and muffins. Portion is way too big. The special bbq rum flavour chosen ribs did not taste as good and ribs were a little hard and dry. Chicken was tough too. Rating: 3.5/5


6. Ribs sampler ($99.90) - similar to carnivore platter but instead of chicken, it has 3 half slabs of ribs of your choice. We opted for the garlic, black pepper and spicy bbq. The ribs were softer, juicier and tastier. Sausages were crunchy and juicy as well. Rating: 4/5


MorganField's, being an American chain restaurant is known for its big portion so remember to bring a group of frenz with you to enjoy the variety!

Ginger Thai at Cuppage Terrace

Ginger Thai is a contemporary Thai cuisine located at Cuppage Terrace along the many other restaurants. The indoor seats are limited as Cuppage Terrace is more well known for its outdoor activities.

Via Eatigo, Ginger Thai is offering 30% off all food menu at 6pm. We opted to seat indoor as the weather was a little too hot. We had the following recommended dishes:

1. Suicide ginger chicken ($19) - indeed suicidal as the name states, especially for those who don't eat spicy. The sauce is made of 3 different chilli and fried with chicken pcs on hotplate. The portion is small and not worth the price. Rating: 3/5


2. Thai kangkong ($12) - the kangkong was fragrantly fried with garlic and chilli padi. A great vegetable dish. Rating: 3.8/5


3. Ginger kailan and beef ($14) - this is the nicest dish of all. The beef slices were tender and kailan so wonderfully fried with carrot. Yummy! Rating: 4/5


4. Stuffed chicken wing ($10) - the chicken spice taste was tad too strong. Rating: 3.7/5


5. Mango salad ($12) - not too bad a dish to start as an appetizer. A little sweet and would be good if the mango are more thinly shredded. Rating: 3.5/5


The overall service was great but its not the place to eat authentic thai food. More for a mix of drink and fusion thai food.

Ash & Elm at Hotel Intercontinental

Ash & Elm is a vibrant restaurant focused on European dining. Located with Hotel Intercontinental, it comprises three exciting culinary theatres including a charcuterie and cheese room, wood-fired oven and an open charcoal-grill kitchen.

With a fine dining concept, price range is steep but with the food quality promised, it was worthwhile. Service was excellent and attentive. We were there to celebrate my sister's birthday. The meals come with complimentary bread with butter. 

The garlic herb butter was delicious with the assorted bread and sticks. For starters, we had the cheese platter ($24) and caesar salad ($19). The 3 cheese platter was unique and it would be a heavenly combination with red wine. 




Crunchy romainne lettuce were used for the delicious salad.

The main course is only prepared after appetizers are finished.

For mains, we had the three beef platter ($138) to share with sauteed mushrooms and yellow chicken ($32).




Chicken was a little tough but overall taste was still acceptable. The beef cut portions are huge and the medium well texture was done just right. As a surprise, there was complimentary earl grey birthday cake.

Magusaburo Japanese Western Cafe at Tiong Bahru Plaza

Magusaburo Japanese Western cafe is located at the new wing of Tiong Bahru Plaza and has taken over the previous Three Little Pigs. The restaurant is beautifully and cleanly furnitured with wooden chairs and tables. Service was friendly with young lady servers keeping their smiles all the time when they serve you.

Ordering is to be done via the ipad and we ordered their value sets plus an appetizer for dinner. I had the teriyaki chicken set ($13.80). 

The chicken was tenderly grilled and accompanied with a small side salad, rice, miso soup, onion rings and watermelon. The chicken was awesome and goes very well with the bowl of short grain rice. Portion isn't big thus may not be substantial for the big eaters. Kevin had the pork shogayaki set ($13.80). Its thinly sliced pork with a little fat on the top fried with cabbages. Instead of onion rings, it has onsen egg as sides. The egg was cooked to the right texture and pork slices tender as well. I would rate both sets 4/5.


As appetizer, we has wagyu cheese croquettes ($8.90). 

5 freshly made minced wagyu meat with cheese powdet deep fried to end with a crispy batter outside. Simply delicious with the tonkatsu sauce. Rating: 4/5

With the service and ambience, its a nice place to gather with family and frenz for a meal.

Som Tam at Orchard Central

Som Tam, a modern fusion Thai restaurant, is another chain of restaurants under Jus Delish group. Located on the 8th floor of Orchard Central, Som Tam aim to delight diners with unique local Thai cuisine with a touch of modern taste.

With Eatigo offer at 50% off all food menu, Som Tam is definitely worth a try. The service was prompt and staff were friendly. We ordered 4 dishes in all:

1. Olive fried rice ($13.80) - olive taste was extremely strong. A little too strong to my liking. But in terms of ingredients, it was generous. Rating: 3.5/5


2. Oozy chicken ($12.80) - deep fried seasoned chicken with creamy salted egg chicken. The chicken was tender and tasted real delicious and sinful. Rating: 4/5

3. Tuna & Tofu Salad ($11.80) - Aburi tuna salad tossed with peanut and sesame sauce. It has pcs of tofu and small shrimps and was very refreshing as an appetizer. Rating: 3.8/5



4. Tom yum Kang ($15.80) - crayfish tom yum soup. This dish was a little disappointing as the crayfish wasn't too fresh. Rating: 3/5

Portion of the dishes are just right for 2 to 3 pple and ambience is great for frenz and family gathering as it isn't too crowded. We should be back to try their ala carte dishes given the discount given.

Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory at Raffles City Shopping Center

Originated from Japan in 2011, Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory uses quality cheese and milk ingredients to make their products. It has finally arrived from Tokyo to Singapore and we are here to try out their all famous cheese soft serve.

They are 4 choices to choose from: milk, cheese, twist or sundae. Prices are from $4.50 to $8.50. We opted for their twist in cup instead of cheese cone. The twist is cheese and milk mix. One word to describe: AWESOME!! 

The soft serve is so smooth and melts in our mouth. The cheese flavour added the slight salty taste which was a superb combination. Though a little pricey, its definitely worth the money!

Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory is definitely a great place for dessert after a meal and we will be back to indulge in their sundae which comes with a slice of cake and biscuits.

Kimchi Korean Restaurant at Suntec City

Kimchi Korean Restaurant need no further introduction at Suntec City as this restaurant has been here since 4 years ago. It is owned by a very handsome young boss Haden Hee. Kimchi serves very very good stews and we are here today for it. There are 2 types of stew, the normal kimchi ones and rice cake ones.

Being tokpokki lovers, we opted for the rice cake stew. We ordered their cheesy deep fried chicken rice cake stew and never regretted it. Haha!

The ingredients of the stew are served to you freshly and you can put them in one by one yourself. Ingredients include tokpokki, instant noodles, hard boiled egg, bonito flakes, cheddar cheese, glass noodles, dumplings, spam, vermiceilli seaweed rolls, cabbage and leeks and lastly, fried chicken pcs.

The sides like kimchi and radish are free flow and the vegetables are so fresh. At $46, this stew is good for 2 to 3 persons. The stew is much thicker than the usual budae jiggae and it tasted like topokki sauce. Simply a very delicious stew worth trying!!

We will definitely be back to try their other new creations like snow butter cheesy chicken. With the excellent food, service and ambience, why not?? :-)
