Coffee Club @ Tiong Bahru Plaza

I was at Tiong Bahru Plaza and walked into a half filled restaurant during lunch time. It always puzzled me whenever I stepped into Coffee Club to see empty tables during lunch or dinner time. The food dished out at Coffee Club are of good quality and standard. The price is also comparable to other restaurants. Could it be the restaurant name that gives the misconception? Anyway... at least I need not queue whenever I visited Coffee Club.

I browsed through the menu and realized they have introduced a few new dishes since my last visit. I settled for the Herb Crumbed fish fillet with Hollandaise and Mexican Quessadilla with Bolognaise. The herb crust over the fish fillet was crispy, giving it a herbal fragrant.

The tortillas with its melted mozzarella cheese was a light and enjoyable meal served with chunky tomato salsa on the side and garnish of mesclun salad tossed in coffee vinaigrette.

Xing Seafood Steamboat @ Alexandra Village Food Centre

There are many popular stalls at Alexandra Village Food Centre. My favourite is the steamboat stall at the corner of the food centre near the car park. Besides steamboat, the stall also serves some cooked dishes. Most of the time I will order the promfret fish steamboat. I always prefer promfret to snapper for fish steamboat. The soup was tasty and came with yam, tomato, cabbage and tofu.

To get here, from Queenstown MRT station take bus 195 and alight 3 stops later. Alternative, from Redhill MRT station take bus 33 and alight 5 stops later.
