Cliff(y) Goes Dining

Is the breakfast set from the leading coffee chain worth it? I'm not the kind of person who goes to Starbucks regularly. In fact, I can count with my fingers the number of times I drop by the famous coffee chain every year. What I really fancy is the smooth and creamy green tea latte, but the focus of this review is on the Breakfast Set  that's available until 11.30am on weekdays and 2.30pm on weekends and public holidays.

Dine like an emperor with beef soup, crispy potatoes and creamed spinach!  UPDATE (15/10/2018):  The restaurant has closed down. Kaiserhaus is a glamorous restaurant inside the Capitol Theatre, offering a plethora of Eastern European dishes. It promises "an exquisite dining menu fit for an Emperor" with culinary delights from the former Habsburg Empire.

European-Asian fusion dishes with herbal power! UPDATE (15/03/2019):  The restaurant has closed down. If you're looking for a semi-formal fine dining restaurant, you may want to head down to Tanjong Pagar. Violet Herbs is said to be a restaurant that "differentiates [itself] by an extensive use of herbs in all of [its] food and signature cocktails".

I wonder if Heisenberg used to like hamburgers? UPDATE (12/07/2020):  The eatery has closed down. Happy birthday to Pikachu and me! Although I haven't really been celebrating mine in the recent years, I took the opportunity to go to an eatery I've always wanted to go to. I'm pretty sure Chemistry teachers, myself included, will love this particular place where syringes, beakers and test tubes are a common sight.

A nice blend of fragrant osmanthus and refreshing yuzu in a mooncake! How many of us can recall offhand the full name of TCC? Prior to the act of writing this review, I couldn't. Anyway, The Connoisseur Concerto offers its selection of eight snowskin mooncake flavours to keep your sweet tooth sated this season of joy.

Delectable skewers, but super salty cabbage appetiser... Sumire Yakitori House hails from Japan with its first store in Tokyo starting business in June 2009. Its logo, a slight spin of the character 笑 (lit. smile, laugh), is further highlighted in its mission to promote that "smile is priceless". It can be achieved through good food and service.

Good garlic stuff: honey garlic chicken and garlic fried rice! With so many Korean fried chicken joints around the island, one is certainly spoilt for choice. While I'm not so crazy about those seasoned chicken, I suppose it won't harm trying once in a while. Not far from my house is Oppa Chicken, which has just turned a year old at the point of writing.

Delectable grilled sea bass with refreshingly sweet and sour soup! UPDATE (24/07/2019):  The restaurant has moved to IMM Building at 2 Jurong East Street 21. A relatively new player at Resorts World Sentosa, Shu Jiang Grilled Fish Restaurant does look grand from the outside. Its pseudo-underwater dining concept, coupled with its signature grilled fish cooked in an array of flavours, promises diners of a treat for the tongue and soul.
