One man's meat is another man's poison. I like Szechuan Dofu at UOB Plaza 1 and also Singapura restuarent. I dun like The Cliff. Lousy food in my opinion
 
Re: Recommended Restaurants and Restaurants To Avoid

Where abouts is "The Cliff"?
 
Re: Recommended Restaurants and Restaurants To Avoid

The Cliff is at the former Beaufort Hotel in Sentosa. Setting very nice, food so-so, price and service is horrendous. Went for birthday dinner, host spent close to S$2000 and they refused to waive "cake-age" of S$20 for bringing our own birthday cake + waiter pulled long face until we ordered some dessert from them (but still charged "cake-age"). Never ever going there again. My 2 cents worth :

1. Singapura ok what;
2. Les Saisons rox;
3. Sofra sux.

Places to go :

1. Ember
2. Buko Nero
3. L'antipasto
4. Kazu

Places to avoid :

1. Coq n Bull
2. Pepperoni Pizza (wait, including Sebastien's, doesn't that cover all the Les Amis restaurants at Greenwood?)
 
Re: Recommended Restaurants and Restaurants To Avoid

yes sorry perhaps i should have been a bit more accurate. the cliff food is good, not fantastic. but the setting really makes women a bit weak at the knees.
 
Re: Recommended Restaurants and Restaurants To Avoid

guys any good place to recommend for some zi char? Or some great cantonese food?

Thanks.

To celebrate Chelsea's victory, you can try Mellben (Block 232, AMK Ave 3 St 22). Best crab bee hoon in Singapore, perhaps. The zi char is nice. Call 6285 6762 to reserve (must reserve, else long queue).

Peace to the Reds !!!
