Dining @ Casuarina Curry Resturant

On 24th Aug 09, we went dine in @ Casuarina Curry Resturant located at Thomson Road. Its one of the 10 best resturant recommended here in S'pore. It definitely did not disappoint us indeed. We enjoyed our meal. It served mainly the Indian & Local Specialty. Its casual ambiance had made us very comfortable having dinner there. We ordered fish curry, Matabuk and uttapam, all tasted great. Yummy...yummy...

The Casuarina Curry Restaurant has long been known to serve among the best prata in Singapore. It boasts a variety of unique prata, including the super crispy rectangular prata, pratas with fillings like chocolate, strawberry, corn, milk, durian and banana. If you are nt so much into the adventurous type, just get the usual plain prata, egg prata or onion prata with a serving of curry of your choice. A set menu is also available, where you select one item from each of the different categories of food, which includes dishes such as Chicken Masala, Mutton Curry, Fish Head Curry, and Sotong Sambal.

Bday Treat 09 @ Hot Pot Culture MSQ

19th Aug 09 was a special day; his bday. I took a day leave , breaking away from the hectic work schedule too. We visited the Loyang temple first, having our prayers there. Since, it was my first visit, hope that we can get some lucky there!

Thereafter, we went Marine Sq for our lunch @ Hot Pot Culture. It was a buffet lunch, recommended by the media. However, to our disappointment, its not as fantastic as what we expected, though, it was a free flow al-la-carte lunch @ $13.80 ++ per pax, however taste of the food didn't suit us mostly. Despite that, it was a great experience.

The promenade, together with all the upcoming leisure options at Punggol Point and Punggol East will liven up the area, bringing even more buzz and recreational options, especially to residents in the North-East."

The Punggol promenade is part of a planned 150km Round-Island Route that will enable the walking, cycling or jogging around the entire Singapore.
