Jin Shan Lou (金山楼) @ Marina Bay Sands

It was my off day so I went to check out the Marina Bay Sands Sky Park with my friend. Indeed the view at the top of the Sky Park was magnificent. Unfortunately, at Marina Bay Sands, it was quite impossible to find "cheap food" restaurants except for 2 food kiosks at the retail area unless you enter the casino. From the map directory, it seemed like there are a few reasonable priced restaurants and a food court inside the casino.

Anyway after walking around, I settled at Jin Shan Lou a chinese restaurant that offered set dinner for 2 which cost $100 for 6 dishes. Food and service were good. Two dishes I enjoyed particularly were the steamed cod fish with broad bean crumbs and stir-fried prawn with blackberry mayonnaise honey mustard sauce. Both dishes had unique sauces which gave them the extra flavouring and texture making a common dish that you can even prepare at home stood out.

Pizza Hut @ Changi Airport Terminal 1

Changi Airport Terminal 1 is currently under upgrading but some sections were already completed and a few new restaurants have opened its door. One of them is Pizza Hut. It has been ages since I last ate at Pizza Hut. There are a lot more varieties in the menu, offering not only pizza but pasta, baked rice, salads and desserts.

Anyway, my colleagues and I went to check out the new parchment pasta. We were told that we needed to wait for 20 minutes for the parchment pasta so we ordered their hut platter appetiser as we were quite hungry. The hut platter came with fries, calamari, drumlets and scallop rolls. I was quite impressed with the food standard. The seasoning for the drumlets was very good.

The pasta came wrapped in parchment paper and a wooden clip. The serving were quite generous for both parchment pasta. I preferred the spicy seafood as the sauce had a stronger flavouring. I thought the char-grilled chicken would be better if the sauce was more creamy. Overall Pizza Hut's food has really improved over the years.
