UNI Gallery by OosterBay @ The Plaza, Beach Road ~ Must-Go Uni Heaven For All Sea Urchin Lovers!




This is for all sea urchin lovers! UNI Gallery by OosterBay is the place to go to!!!

Nestled in the inconspicuous basement of The Plaza along Beach Road, the uni specialty restaurant stood out among the tenants with its bright, eye-catching Japanese-inspired murals, and inviting vibes.

While the establishment may appear to be casual and unassuming, do come prepared to pamper your palate with an extensive range of exquisite uni and premium sashimi which are scoured and air-flown from Japan, USA, and Canada!

My uni-centric dining experience at UNI Gallery left me giddy with uni happiness.

Man Fu Yuan 满福苑 @ Intercontinental Singapore ~ Joyous Reunions For CNY 2018!



When my colleague asked me for reunion dinner venue recommendations, one of the places which I've highly suggested was Man Fu Yuan 满福苑.

Why leh? Because the award-winning Cantonese restaurant is conveniently located within International Hotel at Bugis area, venue is elegantly-set, service is efficient, and most important, the food is good.

In short, Man Fu Yuan got standard lah!

宴 Yàn Cantonese Cuisine @ National Gallery Singapore ~ A Wealth Of Lunar New Year Delights For CNY 2018



Even as Christmas is barely over, we're being constantly reminded that Chinese New Year (which falls on 16th and 17th February this year) is coming very soon! Malls are constantly playing the familiar tunes of "gong xi gong xi", and many restaurants have already rolled out their festive menus.

You might say... "it's still more a month away!" Well, it's always better to book earlier rather than later. I don't think anyone would want the stressful situation of not being able to secure a table at your intended restaurant, especially for the all-important reunion dinner.

For you who are in favor of Cantonese cuisine offering familiar flavors with modern presentation, 宴 Yàn Cantonese Cuisine at National Gallery would be a worthy venue to consider.
