Yan Toh Heen was our choice for dimsum since we chose to stay in the same hotel as well - I've definitely not forgotten about Lung King Heen yet with a toddler in tow, our choices were truly limiting. Thankfully, babies, toddlers and kids without an age limit are welcome. Chef's Dimsum Selection Crispy Lobster and Sakura Shrimp Dumpling served in Supreme Broth We were definitely off to a stellar start with a broth and a fried dumpling. Incredibly crispy and that burst of fragrance made this fritter so delicious. When dunked in soup - this is that tipping point that made me go 'wow'. Eaten in two different ways brought about different experiences and this was a gastronomical journey on a plate. Steamed Crabmeat, Seafood and Egg White Dumpling Having started out on a high, this had to be a dimsum low with a pretty much bland dumpling here stuffed with crabmeat and prawns with egg white. Steamed Black Truffles, Mushroom, and Avocado Dumpling Truffle anything in dimsum ge

~Invited Session~ Tamoya Udon will be launching a curry udon series come November 5, replacing the Umami udon series - boo. For starters I am a fan of that series and have returned so many times just for the uniquely Singapore udon creation. Char Siew Curry Udon ($11.80) Cheese Katsu Curry Udon ($12.80) Both versions are also available in Japan with the curry paste flown in. Toss in carrots and potatoes and a different protein each before serving atop udon noodles. Between chicken katsu cutlet and char siew slices, I liked both equally. Except the former needs a decent appetite to match with all that cheese! Tamoya Udon Liang Court

Expectations are high for this new opening by Unlisted Collection, especially since the shutters were closed on Black Wattle so quickly and the chef has such illustrious beginnings, think the likes of Iggy's. With an almost impossible to ignore 50 off discount from their lunch and dinner menus, I had to pay them a visit. 4 courses is priced at $45, so that meant I got the below dishes for $26.50, taxes included. Snacks Fried Oyster Jamon Ham Croquette Two fried items for the appetizers proved to be a delicious start. I love how light the batter is, except it was a tad oily. Pickled Watermelon and Cucumber water jelly It is confusing if you read too much into watermelon but I enjoyed the textures and refreshing flavours put forth. Sour dough with handchurned butter Freshly baked and I clearly overdosed on this. Three slices and two large dollops of spiced butter later, I called it a day. Cherry Gazpacho Pickled watermelon, cottage cheese snow Watermelon is probably put to good use w

Intercontinental Hongkong was our choice for accommodation in Hong Kong, overlooking the Hong Kong harbor but that probably did not make a difference since our hotel was facing the other direction. Welcome amenities that were refilled too! Our room came with a walk in wardrobe, study desk and... A huge toilet! With both standing shower and tub options. Our evening cap of welcome teas from their selection. The night view of the property! Pretty gorgeous I must say though I am not a fan of its location if public transport is the way to go. The flight of stairs and the number of times I went up and down just to access the MTR is no joke. Hopefully with the new mall opening next year, it gets a tad more happening! Breakfast affairs overlooking the half blocked views of the harbor. Crazy busy crowds at breakfast but I must say the restaurant handled it well. We did not have to wait longer than 10 minutes inspite of it operating at full capacity. The mandatory egg station which is always
