Sum Yi Tai @ Boon Tat Street

Sum Yi Tai (Third mistress in Cantonese) situated around Boon Tat Street has 3 storeys high and each level having different dining concept. My friends make a reservation at the rooftop. Upon reaching, with the  Cantonese oldies background music and the decoration, it make you feel like you were at Hong Kong. We ordered a Hibiki Whiskey and some snacks to go along. The snacks were signature fried carrot cakes with XO sauce, fried ginger chips, salted egg prawns and sauteed Kai Lan. Overall, the ambience was great with great companion. The food and drink was pretty decent. Will try the second floor for the next visit.

Prima Tower Revolving Restaurant

One of the old and only other revolving restaurant in Singapore is Prima Tower Revolving Restaurant. It is situated just before Vivocity. Upon reaching, unless you can find a carpark, otherwise is valet parking. There are 2 lift access to the restaurant. The lift is very old has those mouldy smell. You have to climb a few more flight of stairs before reaching the restaurant so diner with old folks and young toddlers do take note. My first time there and is my mother-in-law birthday so thought of bringing her to somewhere near her house at the same time a nice restaurant serving chinese food. The movement of the restaurant is very slow and you cannot feel it and it will take around 2 hours for one round (estimated). The view was great as you can see the PSA and Sentosa Island. We ordered some dim sum which includes siew mai, har gow, carrot cake, chicken feet, xiao long bao dumplings, liu sha bao, black pepper duck meat bun, egg white with crab meat and seafood yee mee. All the food was nice except the carrot cake. The only negative was the shortage of man power and slow service. Overall, a restaurant with great view and great food. Recommended!

Reservation is strongly encouraged at weekends.

Shukuu Izakaya @ stanley street

An Izakaya (居酒屋) is a type of informal Japanese drinking establishment that serves food to accompany the drinks. They are casual places for after-work. There is a newly opened (less than 6 months) Izakaya at Stanley street called Shukuu Izakaya. So far, I have visited twice and both visits leave good impression either with the food or the service. It is opened by a group of young local Singaporean. Their service was excellent and attended our request with sincere. The beer cost around $5.50 which was relatively cheap. The must order food was squid ink batter squid tempura. (very special as my first time seeing tempura in black colour skin) The squid taste great as well. Another dish was the parmesan chizu chips paired with cherry tomato and honey, nice combination taste. Next, the mini negitoro don was heavenly. One of my friends not a fan of negitoro, after eating it became her favourite dish of the night. They do served good yakitori and the cold yuzu soba was worth mentioning. So far all the dishes I had was very special and taste great. The price is a bit on the high side just to take note but I felt is worth it. The owner will personally attend to customer request and give advice for the ordering of food. Will revisit again for sure.

They also have a chocolate and orange fondue for fruits and marsh mallow lovers. With the good quality of food and some really nice live station and plenty of food variety except for seafood choice, the price of $78++ is quite decent.
