Went to Dolce Tokyo on Saturday afternoon with my stepson after watching How to Train Your Dragon 2 movie. 

The cafe is situated at level 3 of 313 Somerset shopping mall, its in between lowrys farm and uniqlo. The place was not crowded so we managed to get seats immediately.

The presentation its quite unique, served on chopping board.

Overall, the ambience of the cafe is pretty good, peace and quiet, perfect for a chill session! But price is slightly too steep.

Lovely Arteastiq Brunch

Found this place last year when I bought some all-day breakfast coupons from Groupon. This time they offer the same deal at Groupon and check out the place with my hubby!

Arteastiq is an ideal place to sit down, chit chat and chill out for an afternoon tea or some light meal.

The deco and furniture here are really fancy. It has a lovely and feminine atmosphere with loads of plush coaches to chill out on for the afternoon with friends / partners. It is a great place to come with friends / partners to catch up after or before shopping.

Really love the creativity and effort they put in food presentation.

Paradise Dynasty (乐天皇朝) @ Westgate

Had my dinner with my hubby few weeks ago at Westgate Paradise Dynasty restaurant. Our first attempt dining at Paradise Dynasty. Nicely decorated, oriented setting and cutlery.

Paradise Dynasty is a casual dining restaurant offering both northern and southern Chinese Cuisine. The restaurant is known for its colorful Xiao Long Bao with different flavors.

The menu offering to me is very similar to Din Tai Fung except for the Flavored Xiao Long Bao.

 Mixed Dumpling (皇朝小笼包) (8 pcs) - S$13.80

The colorful xiao long bao is very creative and definitely a must try! You have to eat this in order: original (pork), ginseng, foie gras, black truffles, crab roe, cheese, garlic and Szechuan. We only go for the original flavor, the other flavors are just weird! Ding Tai Fung better in my opinion.

Chilled Assorted Eggs Loaf (三色玛瑙蛋) - S$6.00

Wok-fried Rice with Shrimp (雪菜虾仁炒饭) - S$10.80

Fried Rice in Shanghai Style (上海炒饭)- S$10.80

Sweet and Sour Fish with Mixed Fruit (鲜果糖醋鱼片) - S$14.00

Sauteed Spinach with Minced Garlic (蒜耳清炒菠菜 ) - S$10.80 

Chilled Mango Pudding - S$4.50

Chilled Aloe Vera and Onmanthus Jelly in Honey Lemon Juice - S$3.50

Our total bill came up to S$100.05 for two person for a meal of 9 dishes and tea. Staffs were well-trained, services was friendly and prompt.

Generally, all the dishes are not too bad. I think it depends on your taste bud then.

Bon Apetite!

The restaurant signature dish. Poulét, pronounced "poo-lay", means chicken in French. The chicken is brined for a full day in a traditional recipe then placed in the rotisserie for a slow roast until the skin tans to a golden brown. They also added their homemade Mushroom Chardonnay Sauce.

Overall, Poulét is an affordable french restaurant that serves portions that are just right.
