Vienna@United Square

Things we do to be with friends...

Wasn't the smartest of minds which made me decide to have dinner at Vienna, for those who do not know, Vienna at United Square is a international buffet restaurant serving food ranging from Sashimi, Teppanyaki, Sharkfin soup, dimsum, Roast, Fried Rice, Ice Cream etc....

The food was fairly good to say the least, the crowd was full and you have to jostle with aunties and uncles to get to your desired

Would have seriously enjoyed it a lot more if I had not already had a burger at 4pm and stomach wasn't crunching away...

Guess will go back sometime to it, did feel that the food was ok for a buffet but not anytime soon as the price is like 40+ per person.

Claypot Rice @ Geylang Lor 33

Was home early for dinner, expected regular coffeeshop zi char but parents decided to go for claypot at Geylang which we did not have for a couple of months.

Now for Claypot, our regular family place was usually beach road hawker center, this Geylang Claypot was something we found after a relative moved to Geylang a couple of years ago...

I would say the Claypot is not particularly outstanding, it's definitely tons better than any food court claypot and most coffeeshops in SG but the rice was a little on the dry side and the meat on top was a little on the little... but the side dishes (Thai Soft Shell Crab) we usually order was as good as ever.

Do remember to call before going as the usual waiting time is 25 mins, we waited for 3 mins as we were a little early... :p

Cafe Cartel @ GV Yishun 10

Supper time at Cafe Cartel

Couldn't think of where to go and saw that they were open till 1am... good stuff.

Went in and did not feel comfortable as the floors were a little dirty and I was seriously thinking HYGIENE in big red warning letters...

Well the service puts us at ease... no more than 5 secs I set down, the young waitress put a basket of bread with butter on the table and asked if we will like some water... after that, they left us alone without bothering us on making our orders but once we were ready, they were immediately beside us as well.

Unfortunately, most of the drinks was unavailable...end up wife ordered one of the berry smoothies... not too good as well...

An ok place to relax at late weekend nights with good service but don't expect too much from the menu

BBQ Chicken @ North Point

Was not really in a good mood as waited fairly long for my wife who is almost always late, however seeing her after usually cheer me up for no reason and bygones are bygones fairly fast.

Well, back to review, she thot chicken will cheer me up since she feels I was always happier eating KFC.....(REALLY REALLY don't know how that thot ever came into her mind)

suggested BBQ chicken at NorthPoint, never tried it, didn't have high hopes but then no harm trying...

Food was not really that bad, had the charbroiled chicken, quite good really but was disappointed that the side I wanted French Fries was not available,....

Wife had the Olive Chicken (Really fried chicken), quite tasty, at least we felt more balanced that we paid so much more for chicken when we might have just turned around to KFC

Won't really return unless really in a craving for chicken but wasn't as bad as expected...

Interesting fact:- looks like some malaysian chicken chain but BBQ chicken is really from Korea and I think more than 5 outlets in SG already.....:)
