Conrad Centennial Singapore (Marina Bay)

Recommend: Singapore Flyer pool view, Spectacular Executive Lounge, Breakfast at Oscars, Fantastic Fitness facilities

👉Level 31 Executive Lounge with Bay (Fireworks era only) and City view

👉Delicious and sumptuous breakfast spread 

👉Relaxing pool and kid's club playground

Looking for a family fun-filled staycay around Marina Bay? Why not head to @conradsingapore for a delightful experience?

Stunning 180 degrees marina bay and city view at their 31st storey executive lounge. Served with odd and even days variety menu (during Covid), small on quantity but big on quantity (plus unlimited Liver 🍾🍸🍹🍻🥂🍷 training)!! Make sure you stay at least 2 nights with lounge access to savour their Local 🍗 and English 🥯 high tea favourites.

Awesome swimming pool 🏊‍♂️with techno gym 🏋‍♂️facilities to keep your body fluid and fit all day! Their body fat weighing scale in the gym is a must try especially during these times that we keep eating and sleeping to get by.

.

For the kids, they have converted one of their pool side lounge into a kids 🧒👧 club playground. Rain or shine, you can keep them entertained throughout. Kudos to Conrad for meeting the needs of a family! 真的是老少皆宜!

#protip for rooms:

1) For marina bay views, go for even ending room numbers (No matter how hard we try, Pan Pacific and Parkroyal Marina Bay will always be blocking a part of the bay view). For suntec and city view, they are the odd numbered ones.

2) For best of bay view, try to aim for 06 or 02 (corner) stacks. If you want a glimpse of the Flyer with bay view, go for the leftmost corner unit (can't remember the stack number)

3) For those who do not have lounge access, aim for at least Premium King/Twin rooms for a complimentary well stocked minibar. That's the least you can satisfy your in-room F&B dream.

.

Food quality wise, above average than most SG hotels. Oscar's is a goto restaurant for all day dining 🍽🍹🥂

The only thing I wanna complain about is their lack of pillow menu and skinny supportless cotton-wool-like pillow. Their bed is comparable to most 5 star hotels, but their pillows just cannot make it🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️. I will still rate Westin Singapore having the most heavenly sleep experience so far. 

To end off with some additional perks, you get to collect their signature Conrad bears 🐻during your departure. However, don't try the yellow rubber duckie you get to play around in your bath tub. As for the bath salt, you probably can. There is also a complimentary car park (multiple exits) for hotel guests. Not sure why you need to roam outside when you are here for a staycay 🤔?

Folks with Hilton Honors Gold or Diamond membership, Conrad will be your top choice for Hilton hotels in Singapore. MAYBE even consider your next work from hotel venue???

Imakatsu (Tanjong Pagar)

Imakatsu @ 7 Wallich Road (Tanjong Pagar)

Recommend: Tonkatsu (fillet or loin)

Craving for some crispy on the outside and tender on the inside juicy pork (& 🐔🐟🦐)? #maituliao Go for their Premium Mix and Match sets (good value too! Save >$20) where you can choose 2 premium selections that comes with 4 different sides (Note that rice and miso soup is also a selection🤔).

For their sides, I chose oysters, aji, gyoza and rice with miso soup. All were good except the gyoza was meh...🤫

Their dipping sauce is quite pathetic IMO. Nevertheless, yummy food doesn't need the dip. #dipisfortheweak

👉Crispy deep fried batter

👉Tender, soft and juicy meats

👉Free flow cabbage (& iced water)

Once you place your orders, the best part will come! A prompt serving of free flow cabbage with sesame dressing will arrive at your table. Why best? Cause you can take off your mask to EAT!! 😅

Charcoal Fried Hokkien Mee (East Coast)

Rating: 💎💎💎 #美食金 #jiak

Geylang Lorong 29 Charcoal Fried Hokkien Mee #芽笼29巷福建面 @ 396 East Coast Road (Marine Parade) 

Recommend: Anything cooked with Charcoal

Charcoal Surf Dialect Noodle (my copyright dish name for their charcoal fried hokkien mee) takes hokkien prawn noodles to a whole new dimension. 

.

In every mouth, you can taste their charcoal infused "wok hey" noodles soaked in wet wet sticky sticky 😉 gravy (黏黏的感觉). Firm and succulent seafood (prawns and squids) ingredients just levels up the hawker dish. The only pity their chilli 🌶  did not make the mark to create a spicy blend, otherwise this will be my only hokkien mee stall to patronise.

.

👉Heavenly Charcoal taste in every bite

👉Quality firm prawns and squids

👉Hot and wet dish makes you go wild 

They have a few outlets and I went to the East Coast one. Beside their stall, they also sell satay which I am a big fan. Definitely will be back for more!

.

About the oyster/prawn omelette, what about it? That's my review lor 😛😛😛

Just a note, they usually sell out by 8pm. So better try to be early!

The Brewing Ground @ The Yards (Telok Kurau) 

Recommend: Signature Scrambled Eggs with Sourdough / Brioche, Pastas and Burgers

Need a cafe brunch idea for tomorrow? Family, dogs, kids and girlfriends friendly👯‍♀️ cafe (why no guy-friends friendly???🤔).

Awesome dining space: indoor for the cant live without aircon and outdoor seating for those who loves the sun and alfresco.

.

👉Fantastic Scrambled Eggs (yums & pretty)

👉Pet and Kids Friendly (with playground)

👉Above average cafe food quality

Recently opened in 2021, serving good quality food wins my heart💘 and tummy. Period. *Additional hash browns were added due to hungry belly*

Before the media hype and IG influenzaSSS gets to it, bring your bffs to enjoy a chillax afternoon gathering. ❤❤❤

Sarnies (Telok Ayer)

Sarnies @ 136 Telok Ayer (CBD)

Recommendations: Aussie Style Breakkkie, Lunch & Dinner! Sandwiches, Pasta and Fried Wild Snapper.

Finally no flat and tasteless dory fish & chips. Quality snapper fish used and portion is damn huggggggge, just a pity that you gotta add on your own sides. But with #entertainer or #burpplebeyond, you have more savings to spend on additional sides 🤗.

👉Big Aussie PORTIONS

👉All day dining with happy hour

👉Cozy Cafe to Chillax with great pals

The pulled pork ragu pasta is well flavoured with the cherry tomatoes giving you a sweetness boost. It is a pity that I cannot spot any big chunks of pork in the pasta, I guess it might be have "pulled" out from the chef's pan. But overall, a delicious mix of tomato based sauce that is not too sour 😋.

Located in the heart of CBD, remember to make your reservations (off peak) to avoid disappointment. If alfresco or dining by the roadside is your thingy, time to drop by! 😍

Kai Duck @ Nee Ann City (Orchard)

Rating: 💎💎💎 #美食金 #jiak

Kai Duck 嘉苑美鸭 @ Nee Ann City # 05-10/11 (Orchard)

Recommendations: Anything with Peking Duck and your favourite Dim Sums.

Peking Duck Skin with crackers has a mouthful of flavours. You get to taste the Duck aroma with crispy crackers layered with refreshing vegetables. All the goodness without the fats. 😍

Their Dim Sum (especially Har Gow) are packed with ingredients to the brim. Whole prawn spotted! 🦐 If you want to eat the thick layers of skins in Dim Sums or Chee Cheong Fun, this is not the place to be.

👉Peking Duck (++ their Crackers or Handrolls)

👉Remarkable Dim Sums but Pricey

👉Awesome Nian Gao dessert to boot

Another crowd favourite would be their deep fried mango scallop roll. With many Dim Sums infused with prawns, having scallop brings another kind of seafood flavour onto the table. The mango is simply sweet and juicy.

We ordered the Seafood Pao Fan, but was a bit let down by the Dim Sum quality standards. Perhaps they have hyped up our expectations but this dish was just normal with slight tinge of seafood sweetness and pathetic prawn bits. We had better Pao Fan at Yun Nans and elsewhere. 

Unfortunately I didn't get to taste the Handroll or the whole Peking Duck. But you know what, that gives me another reason to return to explore more dishes from Kai Duck. 

Always looking out for great venues with great duck, perhaps they will be a strong competitor to Imperial Treasure Peking Duck which is still one of my Top restaurants for my Peking fix.

Did you know they have a special $1 dessert? Swipe to the last photo to enjoy the most coveted and rare dessert served in (NOT MANY) restaurants. Shhhhhh... it's just a dollar a piece, cheaper than your pot of tea.

Zhong Yu Yuan Wei (忠于原味) Wanton Char Siew Noodles (Tiong Bahru)

Rating: 💎💎💎

Zhong Yu Yuan Wei Wanton Noodles (忠于原味) @ Tiong Bahru Food Centre # 02-30

Recommendation: Char Siew and Premium Char Siew (不见天叉烧)

If this dish was on an Italian menu, it would read: Kurobuta Char Siew Angel Hair Pasta. The noodles are not the QQ type you expect, but it comes with a cleansed texture (no ghee smell) which is pretty hard to find nowadays. Their chilli and noodle sauce just compliments the Angel Hair chinese style noodles. 😋😋😋

They serve restaurant grade and quality ingredients at affordable hawker prices. Their wonton and dumpling skin is so soft and delicate. Their fillings are flavourful and not skimpy. I didnt get to try their Premium Char Siew today as it was sold out. The Premium one has more fats than the typical Char Siew. Probably this is a sign that I have to return for more.

👉Restaurant grade quality at hawker prices 

👉Char Siew is tender and flavourful

👉Supple wonton and dumpling skin 

They do not sell Char Siew only noodles unless you are willinging to pay a premium of at least $15 for a dedicated plate of Char Siew. Attitude I Like! 

Usually they will sell out early, so try to be there before 12pm.
