One of my fave restaurants to get my tonkatsu craving satisfied. I love their rose and hire katsu set which offers both the more lean and more fatty cuts. Accompanied with a side order of Japanese curry, and my meal is complete :)
Had a nice dinner with their tasting menu for our anniversary. Service was excellent from start to the end. The pace of the dishes was just nice. The staff also explained the dish when it was served. Some dishes required the staff to make preparation on the spot such as pouring the puree or light some smoke etc. And the staff executed them perfectly to make them visually appealing and interesting too. I cannot recommend what dish was the best as almost all of them were either a 9 or a 10. And I supposed the menu is seasonal too. It was also a nice gesture for the restaurant to give us a complimentary anniversary cake fr our little celebrations.
Had a few days of breakfast here when I stayed at the Magnolia Hotel upstairs. Coffee is good and service is fast. The variety of food items available is not bad considering the size of the cafe. Pricing is also reasonable. Not a bad spot for a morning coffee!

I had a lobster roll and some fries here. I would say the food is not bad, waiting time was acceptable. The lobster meat chunks are pretty generous. But the price is probably above average for the food that is on offer.
I can understand why this restaurant is popular with tourists. The views on top of the city overseeing Gardens by the Bay and the CBD is really gorgeous. Inside the restaurant, it is very relax and casual, busy too with a lot of chatters and noise. I came here during lunch time and it is really a good place for family or friends gathering. Food was not bad, although nothing really strike me to be memorable. I came here for our wedding anniversary and the restaurant made an effort to serve us a nice little chocolate cake to commemorate the occasion.
