Cliff(y) Goes Dining

Sinful post-result indulgence! UPDATE (20/8/2014):  The establishment has closed down. I've just received my NUS exam results for Academic Year 2011/2012 Semester 2, and I'm glad that I've improved! To celebrate, I went out with friends for lunch and to get our dose of milkshake and ice cream after submitting my passport to the French Embassy for visa purposes. I've seen in HungryGoWhere that people have only reviewed the more common flavours (i.e. vanilla, chocolate, etc.) from Once Upon a Milkshake (OUAM), so today I tried the more unusual flavours!  

Angelic sweetness of roasted duck! Dian Xiao Er is a famous Chinese eatery that boasts its duck creations. Even a chef from Indonesia, Enita Sriyana, who's hosting the long-lasting cooking show called  Santapan Nusantara (lit. cuisine of the archipelago), went to Singapore and featured this restaurant in one of the episodes. Anyway, this restaurant has been one of my favourite places to get my fix of heavenly duck. I usually order the Family Set for 2 pax that costs S$38.00 . The set includes Soup of the Day , Duck Roasted with Angelica Herb , Mongolian Spare Ribs or  Dong Po Pork , as well as  Baby Kailan with Salted Fish and Lime .  

"Asian Tasting Sausages" :P UPDATE (26/11/2014): I'd been thinking of giving the sausages another try before I departed for Hanoi, Vietnam the other day, and eventually discovered that the kiosk at Changi Aiport has closed down. I know that there's also a kiosk at AMK Hub. I've finally got a bit of time to spare tonight, and so I shall update this blog (finally!) with something 'light'. I've seen GoGo Franks outlets around Singapore for quite some time, but I just tried their delightful sausages at Changi Airport before I went back home last week.

How good is the famous butter squid? UPDATE (20/10/2026): The restaurant has closed down. Thai Pan - a hidden gem. Recently, I dropped by the restaurant located at Civil Service Club @ Changi. There's another branch is at Mandarin Gardens Condominium. Pardon me for the low quality of the pictures this time round. My 1.3 megapixel camera phone can't give crystal clear pictures under medium to low light intensity.

One of the most value-for-money Japanese buffet restaurants in Singapore! UPDATE (09/02/2019):  The restaurant has closed down. Having heard (almost) unanimously good reviews, I finally went for this cheap buffet run by the Suki Group. It was indeed a wonderful dining experience. I took many photos, but I'll only show a few of them. The rest is for you to imagine! I guess I'll list down the weekday lunch (12 noon - 3.00pm) prices here. For more details, you may want to visit the website. As usual, I'll give the link at the end of the review. Adults S$19.90 Kids S$12.90 Senior Citizen S$18.90 Students S$16.90

Celebrate with 30% more cheese! I went to Changi Airport in the afternoon to send a friend off. Craving for some pepperoni, we patronised the restaurant at Terminal 1. Pika's advice: Enjoy discounts by bringing along the food coupons which you can find in their website. The promotion is valid till 10 April 2011.

Daily lunch with all-u-care-to-eat salad bar, anyone? UPDATE (11/03/2016):  The restaurant has closed down. I believe there are two Sizzler branches in Singapore - one is at Toa Payoh and the other one is inside Suntec City Mall. I used to patronise the former quite frequently in the past since Toa Payoh is just a few bus stops away from Catholic Junior College Hostel, a homely place where I lived in during my secondary school days. To be honest, I've only tried their quick lunch deals. :P

Cheap and yummy Indonesian food in school! It has been a really busy week. I'll write something that is close to heart (and close in terms of distance from where I live as well!). Indonesian Panggang was first established in NUS Techno Edge (Engineering Canteen) in 2005. There are now branches in NUS Frontier (Science Canteen), NUS The Deck (Arts Canteen), NTU and West Coast Road. Each branch seems to offer different menu. The one which I frequently visit is the one in the NUS Frontier, simply because I spend most of my time in the Faculty of Science! Let's use the present tense since I buy something from this stall very often (at least once a week).  

Simply irresistible sweet and sour chicken! The other day I went to Changi Airport and dined at this eatery which is also managed by the owner of those mushrooming Wang Cafes. It was a quiet afternoon, and the ambience was damn relaxing. My friend and I decided on the Buddy Meal . If I'm not mistaken, the price was something around S$19.80 . All the food items shown below were included in the set menu (inclusive of two plates of rice).  

Where creativity comes in! UPDATE (27/1//2013): It has just come to my attention that The Handburger is now part of the Soup Spoon Union at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It's still located at B1. Alright, this is my very first review! I've always been wanting to patronise this particular burger eatery, an original Singapore brand, located at Raffles City Shopping Centre, and I finally did!
