Cafeteria il Lido @ Suntec City

It was my kaki's monthly dinner gathering and I suggested Cafeteria il Lido at Suntec City. It is opened by the owner of the famous Cafe il Lido at Sentosa. Cafeteria il Lido offers affordable and value for money Italian food. The menu is reasonable priced at $20 or below and the portion was quite generous too. The catereria also offers kid's menu that is under $7.

The Cheese Fries was surprisingly very good. The cheese had a saltiness flavouring that tasted like sour cream which made it very enjoyable while we waited for our mains.

Cheese Fries 4.5/5

My favourite dish for the night. The chicken leg stewed with roast vegetables and mashed potatoes. The gigantic chicken leg was surprisingly moist and tender. I have to admit I struggled to finish the dish not that it was not good but the portion was really too generous.

Chicken Cacciatora 4.2/5

The other mains my friends ordered are both yummy and generous in portion too, except for the grilled fish which was a bit mushy and bland.

Let's Sweet @ Bugis Junction

My friends and I went to check out this new dessert buffet restaurant at Bugis after much media publicity. It is a new Japanese buffet concept brought in by Japan Foods Holding Ltd, which also runs Ajisen Ramen, Manpuku, Botejyu, Fruit Paradis and AOBA.

The restaurant is divided into two main sections, one for desserts and the other for savory items. Each table is given a time limit of 60 minutes for lunch and 80 minutes for dinner to complete their meal. There was a timer counting down and the alarm will sound when your time is up. It was rather stressful looking at the timer counting down so we turned it around.

As we are rather hungry, we started with the savory section first. The food was generally good across the board. The fried chicken and omelette were my favourite.

Over at the dessert counter, there were a colorful display of mousse, jellies, puff and cakes but way short of the 40 over varieties of desserts they said they served. Of what they were serving, some were even sold out. The cakes were my favourite among the desserts. The mousse were nice too. However, the jellies were bland. Overall, we did not get the sugar rush experience and we stopped at only one round of desserts.
