Thai Express @ Esplanade

I have eaten at Thai Express numerous times but I never knew that the restaurant offered tom yam hor fun. I am introduced to the dish by a twitter friend and decided to give it a try. It was indeed very good. Beside that, I also ordered my favourite glass noodle beef slices soup. Thumb up for Thai Express, food standard has always been consistent.

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.
