Yum Yum Thai @ Sunset Way

Recently the restaurants at Sunset Way were featured in the Sunday Times. Some restaurants may call it a day after being asked to renew tenancies at higher rents up to 80% more. The restaurants are still in negotiation with the tenant and hopefully they are not forced to close their business.

I decided to check out the place just in case the restaurants decided to desert the place. The place was very vibrant and most of the restaurants were crowded. I settled for dinner at Yum Yum Thai which was offering Thai Ala Carte buffet at $18.80+ with a selection of 42 dishes. Unfortunately there were only 2 of us, we could not try all the 42 dishes. I can't say it was authentic Thai food but definitely value for money.

Papaya Salad wih Herbs, Garlic and Cherry Tomato 3.5/5

Pomelo Salad with Shrimp Flakes, Peanut and Onion 3.5/5

Thai Oliver Rice 3.8/5

Tom Yam Soup 3.8/5

Thai Egg Plant with Thai Special Chilli 3.5/5

Pad Thai 3.5/5

Thai Fish Cake 3.5/5

Green Chicken Curry 3.5/5

Fried Pork Collar Meat with Dip 3.5/5

Sliced Fish with Thai Special Chilli Sauce 3.5/5

Stir-Fried Scallop with Garlic and Basil Leaves 3.5/5

To get here, alight at Clementi MRT station and walk to the bus stop at exit B. Take bus number 184, 52 or 154 and the restaurant is about 10 minutes away.

Polar High Street Cafe @ Changi Airport T1

I did some research online and realized that Polar has such a long history in Singapore. The existence of Polar dated back to 1926 and their very first outlet was located at 51 High Street. Accordingly to an article by Esther Wang of NLBS dated Mar 2009, Polar has over 130 distribution outlets including eat-in cafes, takeaway stores, and counters in ExxonMobil service stations all across the island. Polar now offers up to a variety of 100 different pastries and cakes.

Polar has recently opened an eat-in cafe at Changi Airport Terminal 1 departure hall near check in counter one. My all time favourite is still Polar's Sugar Roll and Curry Puff.
