Pu Tien Buffet @ City Square Mall

This is Pu Tien's first ala carte buffet style restaurant in Singapore. It is located on the 2nd floor of the City Square Mall. There were many bad reviews about their service but many good praises for the food. Despite all the bad reviews I have read about their service, I decided to give it a try since Pu Tien's food standard is generally good.

The food did not disappoint me. While you wait for the ala carte buffet food to be served, you can help yourself to the numerous xiao cai. Service was also prompt and friendly. Overall it was a very good dining experience.

Mad For Garlic @ Suntec City

This Italian restaurant is tucked at a corner of Suntec City Galleria. They were having set meals promotion for 2 persons and 4 persons. The set meal for 2 persons came with a starter, salad, two mains and 2 soft drinks priced around $42. We also chatted up with the waitress and realized that the restaurant is only 5 months old, owner is a Korean and it is a franchise from Korean.

Although it is a garlic theme restaurant, surprisely you don't get the pungent flavor. The garlic flavor did not overpower the dishes but rather it brought out another level of food appreciation. Beside the excellent food, the service were good too.

By the way, some of the dishes can be quite spicy. If you are not game for it tell the waitress less spice.
