Old Airport Road Lor Mee @ Balestier Road - Famous Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee Opens A Sit Down Restaurant

The famous Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee hawker stall at Old Airport Food Centre has partnered with Food King's Ryan Tan to open a new sit down restaurant at Balestier Road. There is always a long queue at their hawker stall at Old Airport Food Centre, and it is usually sold out by noon. So you have to be an early bird if you do not want it to be a wasted trip.

With the new lor mee restaurant, diners can now savour the bowl of slurping goodness any time of the day. It is open daily from 9am to 9pm. The Lor Mee comes in three sizes for $6, $8 and $10 with choices of flat yellow noodle, round yellow noodle, kway teow or bee hoon.

The bowl of slurping goodness comes with braised egg, braised pork belly, fish flakes, beansprouts, fresh chillies and parsley, topped with chilli, fresh garlic and vinegar. Give everything a good mix for a good spoonful of flavour and textures.

The braised sauce is the star here, making the bowl of lor mee taste so good. It is not too gooey and starchy yet has an excellent flavourful depth. Xin Mei Xiang got it right is the balance. The different flavours from the braising sauce, vinegar, garlic, and chilli come together for one to enjoy the goodness.

Kwee Zeen @ Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa - Christmas Mega Safe Brunch

Paying homage to the Christmas traditions of old, Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa presents a full-fledged Christmas Town in this season of merry-making. Over at Kwee Zeen, guests can look forward to spectacular holiday buffet spreads. Besides the traditional holiday classic, guests can also look forward to an eclectic lineup of fresh seafood, international cuisines and a full dessert counter with quintessential panettone, chocolate fondue, log cake, stollen and much more.

The highlight of the Christmas Mega Safe Brunch at Kween Zeen has to be the Seafood of Ice and oyster counter. The Oyster counter has four different varieties, while the seafood of ice has a massive selection of crustaceans and shellfish. You can eat to your fill.

In every festive celebration, the festive roasts such as Turkey, Beef Ribs, Tomahawk, Sausages and Ham are not to be missed. Best to have them together with sides like roasted potatoes and vegetables.

The huge paella pan brimming with seafood and the various ham on the buffet spread caught my eyes. It brings back memories of my Spanish trips.

Diners can also look forward to other Asian and Local cuisines, such as the popular Japanese section for sashimi and sushi. My personal favourite is the noodle station where I can have the local laksa. I even asked the staff to add a few pieces of roasted duck from the Chinese's section. There is even an Indian section where you can indulgent in an array of aromatic dishes, curry and naan.

What is Christmas without the sweet treats? So do save your stomach to a full dessert counter with quintessential panettone, chocolate fondue, log cakes, stollen and much more.
