      I'm a mountain tortoise when it comes to eating at restaurants. heartache to pay for expensive food and the service charges/GST...all the +++
      there are many apps offering up to 50% discount at some restaurants (during off peak hours) which we have been taking advantage of. That's always cheaper ways to pay for an experience.

        Our bill usually hovers around $90-$100 for the two of us. Maybe because we tend to order the usual stuff and quantity. Today’s meal, we didn’t order seafood, and for meat, only half serving of sliced Kurobuta which I don’t find it great compared to those I have eaten at Japanese restaurants.

        Their 酸辣粉 is really delicious. Today also tried their 酒酿圆子,glutinous rice balls in fermented rice wine, lacked the pungent rice wine taste though.

        Guess if more pax sharing the soup base, per head would be cheaper? I always go for 4 types of soups of which one is clear water ($0). I get to drink 3 types of soup ($6 for each soup X3 =$18) and the cost is cheaper than I go for 2 soup base ($10 each soup X 2 = $20). :?

        Today’s 3 bones collagen soup and 酸菜 soup came as a delightful surprise to us. Next round we gonna try the 青椒soup.

        sounds tasty ..! 2 pax a$100 also high side , u ordered 好料 喔 . i din try with my family yet,
        went twice hdl, once beauty pot - all were above $50 pax .
        my ds said his classmates went, they paid each abt mid $20s ... probably they order normal meat only,

        HDL is very expensive indeed. I don't even know if their Kurobuta is from Japan. Anyway, I always order Pork Collar instead of Kurobuta. The former is good. As for Beef, I only pick US beef on its menu.

        Their Homemade Tofu's the best. Not the silken type.

        I pick only 2 soups (more expensive) : Mala and Black Chicken (with many free mushrooms inside; bang for buck).

              Happy anniversary!
              If food is not important, you can consider Hoshino Coffee at ion. The mains are mediocre but the booths make it a good place for sitting and talking. The hot fruit tea is recommended.

              Lobby Lounge at shangrila has a lovely atmosphere especially when there is a jazz singer but be warned that the menu is limited and food may be disappointing to locals.

              If food is important, sun with moon at wheelock can be lovely if you get the tables near the window. The bill depends on what you order but the food and service are usually quite good.

              Do call ahead to see if you can make reservations for Friday and weekends.

              :congrats:

              Sun & Moon at Wheelock is good. Book ahead as popular place

                Thanks for the suggestions. Will KIV for another time. Trouble is, I am always watching my weight as it goes up so easily! I can gain 1kg over a couple of meals out in a weekend.

                  Happy Anniversary Slmkhoo.


                  Go enjoy and don’t worry so much about your weight. You gain a kg over weekend of indulgence, then when you go back to your normal diet on weekdays and the weight will go off again.

                  For an anniversary, some indulgence is worth it.
