Seafood Paradise was the first restaurant launched by the local Paradise Group, and has recently moved to Marina Bay Sands Level 2 dining area.
My favourite of the dishes tried was still the Singapore style Chilli Crab, boosting a thick sauce all spicy, sweet, savoury at the same time. Crab meat was fresh and succulent.
Other crowd favourites are Creamy Butter Crab topped with Coconut Crumbs and Wok-fried Bee Hoon with Sri Lankan Crab.

Singapore must be Chef Teppei Yamashita’s lucky land. After opening up Teppei Japanese Restaurant at Orchid Hotel serving affordable omakase sets, his food ‘empire’ has spread wide with Hanare, Syokudo, and Daidokoro concepts.
The group has just opened Man Man Japanese Unagi Restaurant at Keong Saik Road.
Chef Nakagawa, who had been working in a Mikawa Unagi shop for more than 20 years, will cut the unagi live in front of diners. I repeat, CUT THE UNAGI LIVE. In front of you.
The offerings at Man Man include Una Tama Don ($18.60+) – Unagi & Tamagoyaki on Rice; and Hitsumabushi ($26.80+) – Unagi Don with Spices & Dashi. No service charge. Only GST. Man Man (Keong Saik Road)

Opening Hours: 11.30am – 3pm, 6pm – 10pm (Mon-Fri), 11.30am – 5pm, 6pm – 10pm (Sat-Sun)
Talay Kata means “seafood” and “skillet” in Thai respectively. This is a Mookata buffet restaurant concept at Orchard Central Level 8, same floor as Som Tam (also by the The Jus Delish Group).
Buffets are priced at $18.80 (weekday lunch), $28.80 (weekday dinner), $27.80 (weekend lunch), $33.80 (weekend dinner).
The highlight of the food selection is probably the selection of seafood: Crayfish, Shishamo, King Crab, Mud Crab and Japanese Scallops.

8 Korean BBQ at Clarke Quay Central has opened another branch at Shaw Centre.
Their signature is the Hungarian Mangalitsa Pork Belly, where you can savour 8 different flavours of this pork – Original, wine, ginseng, garlic, herb, curry, miso, and red pepper paste.
Other than the 8 Colours Set ($98, good for 3-4 pax), there are the 4 Colours Set ($58, good for 2 pax), Kimcheese Fried Rice ($20) and Big Hog Plate ($45) which are recommended.
Service was prompt and personable. I tried the Army Stew ($24), which was diluted, and I think you could save some money and calories there.

Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh
Raffles City #B1-44B, 252 North Bridge Road Singapore 179103
Tel: +65 6264 7066
391 Orchard Road, Takashimaya Shopping Centre, #B2-32 Ngee Ann City, Singapore 238872
Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh is going places, recently opened downtown at both Raffles City and Takashimaya Shopping Centre basements.

It is inevitable that when a shop is set up in the city, the menu would be diversified to cater to families and larger groups. Bak Kut Teh was overall acceptable, though not as consistent as the original. Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh (Raffles City)

KL Traditional Chilli Ban Mee, KL 传统辣椒板面
476 MacPherson Road Singapore 368191 (Opp Stamford Tyres Motor)
Tel: +65 9052 0555 (for ordering takeaway)
Opening Hours: 11am to 7pm (last order 630pm)
Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee in Singapore has found a new competitor just down the road, on 476 MacPherson Road (somewhere near Boon Tong Kee, opposite Stamford Tyres Motor).
KL Traditional Chilli Ban Mee sounds similar to Kin Kin, and offerings are more or less the same.
The highlight to me was the fried chilli flakes, which were indeed terrifically spicy, and gave a needed shiokness to the Ban Mee.
Personal preference, I wished that the noodles could have been cooked with more springy-bite, ie more QQ. KL Traditional Chilli Ban Mee (MacPherson)

Opening Hours: 10am – 10pm
Yentafo Kruengsonge, which has 28 outlets in Bangkok and 2 in Laos, has opened their flagship store in Singapore at Orchard Cineleisure.
This is probably the first “Yen Ta Fo” pink noodle specialty shop in Singapore, a popular Thai noodle dish added with fermented soybean paste.
The signature Yentafo Kruengsonge ($6.50, $8.50) comes in dry and soup versions with 3 levels of spiciness.
