If you enjoy a vast variety of delicious options for dim sum, Ban Heng Pavilion Restaurant is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. With restaurants located at various country clubs in Singapore, the Ban Heng group is known for its popular wedding banquet venues. At the Harbourfront Centre restaurant, an all you can eat dim sum buffet is served daily.

Buffet hunters that are constantly on the prowl for reasonably priced all-you-can-eat spreads should have M Hotel in their address book by now. The business hotel in the central business district of Singapore is home to at least two restaurants – Café 2000 and The Buffet – that dish up a variety of buffets for both lunch and dinner. The Tunch buffet at Café 2000 is a tasty combo of […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/m-hotel-buffet/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/fish-co-new-orleans-cajun-platter/ https://sparklette.net/food/fish-co-new-orleans-cajun-platter/#respond Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:25:32 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1499

One of my favourite places to enjoy casual seafood is Fish & Co.. Personally, I find their cheese-filled Swiss fish and chips to be the best in town (though so far nothing quite trumps the version at The Offshore in Bangkok). During the holy month of Ramadan, the restaurant chain has introduced a special New Orleans Cajun Platter for our Muslim friends when they are breaking fast. I tried out […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/fish-co-new-orleans-cajun-platter/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/contest/nanas-green-tea-giveaway/ https://sparklette.net/contest/nanas-green-tea-giveaway/#respond Fri, 01 Feb 2013 06:05:55 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1444

When a sudden food craving hits, it’s usually almost impossible to resist. And that’s what happened recently when I had an insatiable urge to indulge in some spicy tomato mussels. Sea-facing restaurant The Mussel Guys at VivoCity seemed the natural choice. Truth be told, my first dining experience at The Mussel Guys a few years back left me wanting. Their watered down version of mussel pasta was abysmal and I […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/the-mussel-guys/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/contest/dian-xiao-er-vouchers-winners/ https://sparklette.net/contest/dian-xiao-er-vouchers-winners/#comments Mon, 10 Dec 2012 04:56:20 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1409

McDonald’s Singapore has revived the crowd favourite Samurai beef burger. Dipped in teriyaki sauce, the Samurai burger has remained my all-time favourite McDonald’s burger ever since tasting it years ago! (Until I get to try the McLobster, that is.) The Samurai beef burger is available in two options: regular with a single beef patty and the Double, which has two beef patties for those who want twice the oomph.

Does moist and delicious fresh-off-the-spit chicken sound like your thing? If so, you need not look any further than The Rotisserie. With various outlets located in the heart of the Singapore central business district, this no-fuss eatery serves up freshly roasted chicken, salads and other hearty meals.

Some friends have been seeking recommendations on food delivery services in Singapore. Happily, I just discovered DEALivery.sg, where you can order your food online from several restaurants and have it delivered right to your doorstep. The cuisines span a wide range, including Asian, Mediterranean, European and Halal. My family and I decided to try out the service this past Sunday. The dining establishment we picked was Hui Wei, a Thai-Chinese […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/hui-wei/feed/ 3 https://sparklette.net/food/thai-to-go/ https://sparklette.net/food/thai-to-go/#comments Mon, 19 Mar 2012 04:29:09 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1319

I realise that we have never really reviewed food delivery services here except for the occasional cupcakes and tea. Recently, my whole family got together for a casual meal and we decided to order in. The food delivery we chose was Thai to Go. It’s our first time trying out this Thai food delivery service.

Cawaii Koohii Maid Cafe is one place that has been getting my hot-blooded guy friends quite excited. As far as I know, this cosplay maid café is the only one of its kind in Singapore. The cosy establishment at Funan Digitalife Mall is staffed by young women dressed in French maid costumes. The idea is that they are “servants” while the customers are “masters”. The girls have been taught by […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/cawaii-koohii-maid-cafe/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/the-garden-slug/ https://sparklette.net/food/the-garden-slug/#comments Tue, 14 Feb 2012 06:09:39 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1302

I recently took part in a mini contest by The Garden Slug… and won! Yes, even as we hold regular giveaways here on Sparklette, I occasionally join in a contest or two myself on other sites. The prize is a fabulous barbecue platter for three. Some people were quite curious about it, so I thought it would be neat to feature it.

Tinge of Blue is a café and bar that is not easily discovered, hidden away at SAFRA Mount Faber in Singapore. It strikes an appealingly casual chord with its location right by the club swimming pool. Comfortable and laid-back are two words that come to mind when you first visit this restaurant.

Do you know that Tung Lok Seafood has a wonderful ala carte buffet promotion at Orchard Central? The daily ala carte lunch and dinner buffets at Tung Lok Seafood restaurant offer 40 dishes available for repeat orders, including seafood, meats, Japanese cold cuts and sashimi, rice and noodles, and desserts.

The concept behind the Tung Lok Signatures restaurants is promising; at one place you can enjoy signature dishes from the various Tung Lok restaurants. The appealing prospect of enjoying the “best of” dishes all under one roof has drawn a large clientèle of families and working professionals, as evident by a full-house capacity on a weekday evening. With most dishes priced above S$30, budget at least S$40-50 a person.
