Earle Swensons @ Vivocity

It was my first time having a meal at Earle Swensons.  My usual hangout with my family is usually at Swensons Changi Airport Terminal 2 as we have a big extended family coming and leaving the country from time to time.

The salad bar's spread of dishes is quite varied - ranges from the usual carrot & lettuce to Waldorf salad (lots of apples), marinated tau-kwah, wanton skin, potato chips with cheese or bbq sauce, chendol jelly, etc.  Pretty interesting.

The salad buffet (free flow) costs SGD13.90 per adult.  But if you order a main course (min SGD17.90 onwards to SGD30.00), the salad buffet is free.

SGD17.90 for Fish & Chips

SGD18.90 for Cajun Chicken

My half-eaten salad dish.  I added a bit of almost everything.  Hahaha ..

This plate consists of Chendol Jelly, watermelon, waldorf salad (hidden below) and chips with wanton skin, topped with Cheese sauce.  Yummy. :)

The restaurant is located at #02-117 Vivocity, 1 Harbourfront Walk, Singapore.  Tel: +65 62723306.  You get a nice view of the Sentosa Boardwalk.  The restaurant faces Sentosa Island.  It is open for business from 10.30am to 10.30pm.

Puay Heng Capitol Noodles

My colleague and I decided to have dinner at Puay Heng Capitol Noodles after our gym workout on Friday evening.  It has been many months since I last visited the shop for a bowl of noodles.

The place is always crowded during lunch hour.  You can queue for 45 minutes  before you are served.  Yes, it's self-service.  Having dinner there in the evening is simply, a better choice - less crowded and you don't have to wait for your food.

A set dinner for SGD6.50, I get a bowl of dried minced pork noodles (bak chor mee), a plate of fried wanton, a watermelon and a glass of iced lemon tea (or glass jelly).  It's value for money.  A bowl of noodles without the extras will set you back $4.00 to $5.50 depending on your order.


The shop is located at 23/24 China Street, #01-01 Far East Square, Singapore. Tel: (+65) 6536-6707.  It is open daily 9.30am to 9.00pm.  It is closed on alternate Sundays.
