Cliff(y) Goes Dining

Deck your sub with avocado... Falalalala... Christmas 2013 is coming soon. How time flies! I guess this shall be the last review of the year, which happens to be the 275th review. This year, Subway Singapore is experimenting with what's claimed to be creamy, refreshing avocado.

Oh-so-luscious prawns with pineapples! UPDATE (14/07/2020):  The restaurant has closed down. From a humble beginning in 1977 in one of the alleys of Taipei, Taiwan, Shin Yeh has seen a steady increase in reputation and evolved into a brand serving contemporary Taiwanese cuisine. Having outlets in not only its city of origin, but also Beijing, China and Singapore, Shin Yeh is something not to be missed out.

Skinny, but sweet crab with spicy black pepper sauce! The history of Ocean Kingdom Seafood Restaurant goes back to the 1970s when the family initially ran a floating fish farm near Pulau Ubin at the eastern side of Singapore. Since they claim that "freshness is [their] forte", I was tempted to try their food.

Sweet and spicy claypot pork belly with salted fish! Before I went for weekly grocery shopping at Chinatown Point just now, I was wandering around to look for something new to try. Soon I found myself standing in front of A-One Porridge house which serves a variety of claypot and hotplate dishes. There are currently seven outlets across the island.

"Pour l'amour de la viande" UPDATE (08/09/2017):  The restaurant has closed down. Having the motto which literally means 'for the love of meat', Hippopotamus was founded in Paris, France in 1968. The only branch in Singapore is located in Marina Square. Despite the name, the restaurant doesn't serve hippo meat. Haha...

Better fried fresh milk than the original! UPDATE (05/04/2016):  The branch at Chinatown Point has closed down. Do check their website for more information on the rest of the branches. I've reviewed quite a few restaurants managed by the Creative Eateries group. Eat at Taipei is another one, offering a wide range of Taiwanese food, including those which can typically be found in Ximending and Shilin Night Market .

Customisable HK cart noodle here in Singapore! UPDATE (08/11/2016):  The café has closed down. December is finally here! As I reminisced the good old days during my exchange in HK, I stepped into C-Jade HK Café IN in Bugis+. Till this very day, I can vividly recall how good the canteen food was, and to my delight, cart noodle is among the café's wide selection of local delicacies. Also, I was craving for steamed rice that day.
