Have been coming here since the first owners were around. The fried chicken laska, prawn mee and wa tan hor are a favourite and are prepared upon order. Good value as servings are quite substantial for the prices charged.
Can get pretty busy during lunch hour, so do expect a queue.

A small joint with limited seating but definitely a great takeaway place. Order service is quick and friendly. Great range of asian noodles and rice meals here, made to order. Just looking on the menu on the board, there are about 51 varieties of noodles and rice combinations. Definitely a great lunch option if you are after freshly prepared and tasty food.

Approximate cost: $10.00

Gari has a small variety of sushi offering, both on the menu and moving around on the train. Prices tipping on the higher end of the scale, and the pricing between the different coloured dishes varied greatly. Quality wasn't up to scratch even for the cheapest plate that Gari offered, compared to some of the cheaper flat rate sushi train/bars I have been to. There were no standout dishes.

Seating isn't too bad, as it's quite open but service is nothing to rave about. Had to wait quite a while before my order of green tea arrived.

If you are into Hakata style ramen, Ippudo offers that and slightly more. The main types of ramen offered at Ippudo are shiromaru motoaji (tonkotsu broth, noodles, vegetables and pork loin); akamaru shinaji (tonkotsu broth, miso, garlic oil, noodles, vegetables and pork belly); and karaka men (tonkotsu broth, spicy miso and minced pork) and a couple of other non Hakata style ramens too. The menu also offers a small variety of salads, rice dishes, a la carte entrees and desserts.

An all-time favourite of mine is the Ippudo Pork Bun to start the meal and a bowl of shiromaru motoaji or akamaru shinaji, with an egg as addition to the noodles.

Price-wise, Ippudo tips on the slightly higher end. However, taste-wise, it's pretty close to what one can get in Japan.

Am a regular at this massage joint. The therapists there are experienced and generally quite good at picking out and working on your problem areas. Have a couple of favourite therapists whom I will usually make an appointment with. You can tell the therapist if you prefer a firm or lighter massage and they will accommodate accordingly.

In addition, a traditional chinese medicine doctor has recently joined the team and is available for treatments as well.

Have been to Chase Oyster Bar and Dining several times and so far, have not been let down each time we have a meal there. Good quality ingredients and great tasting dishes. The Spaghetti Marinara, Chitarra Black Ink, Penne Crab are favourites. Usually for dinner, fresh bread baked on premise and salad will accompany the meal.
Good selection Seafood, Pasta, Meat, Dessert etc on the menu, including a small handful of vegetarian options as well.

Kashiwa Yakiniku is a genuine Japanese run establishment, serving quality meat. Very small place and can get quite smokey as the diners cook their meat on a charcoal stove, compared to most places where they use gas stoves. Usual order of beef skirt, beef tongue, chicken thigh fillet, a tofu seaweed salad and the egg porridge bowl makes the tummy smile.

One of my favourite lunch joints around the office area. Usually go with the lunch specials - rice or noodles, with Vegetables or Beef, starting at $10 and seafood would cost $12. My all time favourite is Seafood Pad Thai or Seafood Fried Rice - not too dry but yet not dripping with oil, just nice. Fresh seafood and decent volume for $12. Good selection on the menu including a vegetarian section. Fast service as well, so good for a quick meal if in a hurry.

First time visit with some friends who have been before. Ordered several tapas to share, namely the Chorizos, Mushrooms sauteed in garlic, olive oil, chili and cream, Salt & pepper squid served with aioli and Deep fried potatoes served with aioli or spicy tomato salsa. In addition to the tapas, we ordered the Seafood Paella for 2 to share. The portion of the Paella was big, more than enough for 3 persons even though it's for 2 on the menu. The tapas were great and the seafood paella flavoursome. However, the rice was undercooked that evening.
All in all, enjoyable dinner with decent service, good ambience for small groups.

Through a friend's recommendation, came to Tao Hua Yuan to try it out. Ordered the steamed dumplings, Pan Fried Pork Bun and Pork Mince Dry Noodles to share. Pork Mince Dry Noodles came with 2 sides consisting of pickled radish and picked seaweed. The steamed dumplings were flavoursome, however the skin was a tad thick. Pork mince dry noodles were delicious, with the noodles freshly made and springy in texture. The pan fried pork buns were pretty good, with the bun texture just right - soft and fluffy. Good variety menu for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
Will definitely return again to try other dishes out.
