The Manhattan Fish Market

This is one of the new eat-out places in the newly renovated NorthPoint near Yishun MRT. When my boy and I first saw the wooden signboard during the renovation showing the name "The Manhattan Fish Market" on it, my boy still told me that it might be a FISH MARKET opening soon..... But to my surprised it is actually a western restaurant selling all kinds of Seafood Delights.

The Manhattan FISH MARKET at Northpoint branch consists of two different dinning environment. You can choose to have your meal inside the restuarant itself and enjoy some videos of fishing tips or you might prefer an out-door concept where you can enjoy another view of the shopping mall while eating.

They have all kinds of eateries on the menu(click on the menu link), range from Soup, Salad & Green, Starters & Appetiser, Pasta, Seafood and etc..... The menu also comes with a very cute lobster shape kid's menu which with good choice of items at reasonable price. Since this is a new outlet at Northpoint, at their promotion, customer are given a S$5 discount voucher for their next dine-in.

And in conjunction of celebration with our 44th Singapore National Day. Thy also having a promotion with DBS Credit Cards holder on this S$44++ NDP Platter during the month of August. So do check up the nearby outlet for more information.

We order a set of "Perfect Catch" which comes with the Soup of the Day and a big tall glass of Ice-lemon tea for just S$4.90. A "Flaming Platter for One" which consists of one piece of Grill Fish Fillet coated with special herbs, garlic rice, chips and their award winning Flaming Prawns for S$18.90. I love the taste of the Flaming Prawns, the stuff will use a blow touch to cook the prawn right in front of you before serving. The prawn is top with something like a sweet mayonnaise-like sauce which will melt over on the rice when it is done.

For dessert we are tossing between their Manhattan Mud Pie or Tuscan Tiramisu. But in the end as I am craving for some coffee dessert, we choose the Tuscan Tiramisu. Since there is no picture on the menu, we will surprised to see the Tiramisu to be serve in a cup rather than the usual slice form. Their tiramisu is absolutely great in taste, the texture thick, smooth and the scent of coffee is blending well with the overall ingredients.

Ikea - Tampines Branch

IKEA has two branches in Singapore that is located @ 317 Alexandra Road and 60 Tampines North Drive 2. Both offer a wide range of well designed, functional Home Furnishing products at reasonable prices that many people will be able to afford them.

And other than the wide range of imported furnitures and home accessories. They also have their own IKEA Restaurant which offers "Traditional Swedish Dishes" like Swedish Meatballs and Poached Salmon at less than S$7.00 a set for adults. Little kids also have special kid's meal which is less than $3.00 and there are microwave available to warm up baby and toddlers food in order to cater for everyone needs in the family.

I love their Poached Salmon served with potatoes and broccoli and topped with a buttery cream sauce that does not taste or feel greasy and it really blend well with the salmon. Other than the poached salmon, we also try their famous Swedish meatballs. Em... the overall taste is great, but then we don't really like the fragrant of the meatball which taste a bit odd for us :)

Other than the above, I also get a bowl of their soup for the day which is - Cream of Mushroom but I am kind of disappointed with it as it taste kind of salty and I can't really get that touch of mushroom taste in it. But as usual, their fried chicken wings are still as good as before. The taste is great and it's best to eat while hot so that it is more crispy and tastier.
