Old Street - Bak Kut Teh @ Plaza Singapura

I am a person who loves to drink soup, especially those very strong tasteful soup.

Looking around for dinner on a weeknight in town usually is a difficult approach.

I'm very fortunate to come across this petite restaurant, which serves bak kut teh (Pork Ribs).

What so special about this shop.

It have limited seating, however, the stall is managed by matured adults to oldies, who actually are very high tech. They teaches their customers to order food using their e-menu on an ipad. With such limited space available, they are able to make arrangements for every one time they have at least 30 plus pax. Their utensils, i.e. chopsticks spoons all can be found in the table's compartment itself. It made us feel like we are eating on a transformer spaceship. Haha.. .pun intended.

They are well-known especially for the soft tender and juicy pork ribs served. You get to taste the wholesome feel of it once it is in your palate. The meat is so soft that it literally melts in your mouth.

Fancy more for peppery soup, try this shop.

They have good promo package: about S$11 for a set, that comes with a bowl of soup with pork ribs, you tiao, rice and tow hway.

It is quite decent that you can order that set and shared by 2.

Their service crew are all friendly and ready to help. Although some are of retired age, but they still look as young and strong as ever.

Recommended for Dinner gathering, best to try to book  before going down, if not just queue a little while and you are ready to dine!

Lunch Hi Tea @ Axis Bar and Lounge (Mandarin Oriental)

What is Hi Tea? I have always know Hi Tea as piping hot pastries served in wooden weave basket, with various steam flavors of baos, soup dumplings and even fry snacks like those in Yum Cha. However, today I experienced a different Hi Tea! 

The afternoon started without lunch but just Hi-Tea! 

I was rather excited as it was our nation (Golden Jubilee) 50 years of age, SG50.

Was wondering what surprises will I have.. so here it goes..

As for starter, a cooling soft gel-like jelly with a tint of sweetness just fall smoothly down the throat. Soothing the throat and as it is refreshing, which also act as a palate cleanser.

Unique combination yet tasty.

Gula Melaka Pandan Jelly

The bar is brightly lighted with a good sky view, enjoying 'Emperor's White Garden' & 'Miraculous Mandarin' these two pot of TWG tea enlighten our mood and set the environment into a zen Saturday.

With the theme for the year as SG50, Mandarin Oriental came to develop a monthly local delights menu with a chosen choice of favor each month. In the month of June, it was Coconut and for the month of July it is Pandan.

Each small bite size canapes are infused with Pandan (Screwpine Leave) flavor.

A simple wrap with tenderness and juicy filled chicken wrapped around the refreshing cucumber wraps. Carefully prepared smooth and mouth-melting Foie Gras sandwiched in between the toast. It gave the different texture and crunch to each bite. Creating excitement and enjoyment.

Singapore Specials? Majority of the ideas are evolves from Nonya Kuehs as it is one our our local delights.
Plates of dessert, sweets and savory, where East meets the West!

Their service crews and managers are dressed neatly and always seen wearing a smiles. They are very polite and have always kept a lookout on their diners, that's a Thumb up (LIKE) for them!

This place is recommended for couples (of all walks of life) who wants to spend their special time alone and or a place to have a peaceful meal away from all your busy schedules! Here's a chance for a great escape!
