THA: FoodLoft @ Central Chidlom

Chilly lemongrass drink to freshen up!

From Thai to Greek cuisine, Chinese to Indian dishes, you can discover a lot of things under one roof. Having an open kitchen concept, FoodLoft allows customers to see the cooking process in each of the stalls. You'll get a card as soon as you enter the restaurant, which you give to the staff when you get something from one of the stalls for he/she to register your order. When you leave, you give the card to the cashier and pay for your food.


Pad Thai with Shrimp THB 115.00 (~S$4.55)
Taste: 7/10

I tried the pad thai by Thai Cuisine, a popular Thai dish of stir-fried rice noodle which primarily uses fish sauce, tamarind juice and eggs, among other ingredients. It wasn't spicy at all, for it wasn't cooked with any kinds of chili; sad, but perhaps done to cater to individuals who can't take spicy food. The taste was there, but it lacked the wok hei fragrance, or loosely speaking, the smoky aroma from stir-frying. Pika's advice: Don't forget to add chili put on the stall if you wish before you bring your food to your table!


Seafood Congee THB 100.00 (~S$4.00)
Taste: 7.5/10

I also tried the seafood congee by Tidbit Treasure. While it wasn't thick, it was pretty flavourful with an adequate amount of seafood such as fish slices, squid rings and shrimps, topped with a few slices of ginger and scallions to make the dish fragrant.


Lemongrass Drink THB 35.00 (~S$1.40)
Taste: 8/10

My camera ran out of battery, so I had no choice but to use my not-so-good phone camera to take a picture of the drink. Exuding a strong, tantalising aroma without being too sweet, it was a superb drink to combat the sweltering heat of 41 Centigrade outside, which was the highest temperature I've ever experienced.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 7.5/10
Ambience: 8/10
Overall: 7.5/10

I enjoyed the dim lighting of the restaurant, and I'd love to go back to try every other cuisine offered by FoodLoft.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

SIN: Flipper's

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

SIN: Singapore Airlines SQ392 (Premium Economy)

Delicious Indonesian 'nasi uduk' with chili prawns! The middle of this year saw me doing a long-haul flight in the Premium Economy Class cabin of Singapore Airlines' Airbus 350-900 aircraft for the first time. In fact, it was also my first time flying directly to Istanbul, Turkey from Singapore. In general, I enjoyed the two meal services: supper and breakfast.
