The Regular Fried Rice (lol)

Hong Kong Tea w/. a scoop of vanilla Ice-Cream & Pork Floss Tofu

Shrimp Wanton Noodle

Kim Gary Restaurant @ Tampines1 Mall (Basement 1) Tried this restaurant about a week ago at the newly opened mall. It is the first restaurant at B1 on the right and is quite small. Overall, the food was ‘okay-ish’ but what I liked was the drink lol and the soup :p I guess the only bad thing about this meal was that the waiting time was around 40 minutes nd I guess it is due to the fact that it is a new restaurant and the staffs are not experienced enough as well as the heavy crowd that comes to the mall    

Cream Soup (obviously the left) & Borch Soup (obviously the right one)

Peppermint Aloevera Drink - $4.20 ($2 with a Main)

Honey Lemon Drink – $2.90 ($1 with a Main)

Tea in Hong Kong Style – $1.60

Stone Grilled Rice in Korean Style – $13.50

Steak Hot Plate Set Meal – $17.50

Reading the Feedback that the previous table left was rather interesting…lol

This Final Verdict

Illuma Chinese Restaurant – On the Top Floor

Went down to the Illuma Shopping Mall at Bugis a week ago, the mall is just opposite the Bugis MRT station as it is within walking distance. The building should not be a problem to spot as the building should ‘illuminate’ as the outside of the building is covered with LED lights :p . Most of the shops are still not open because the mall have not undergone it’s ‘grand openning’. However, there is a cinema on the top floor as well as a decent size arcade with its rather unique arcade games. Most of the games are those Catching Machine Games, Stacker Games, and Video Games. One that I particulary found interesting was this Ice-Cream Catcher Game (next time i have to remember to take a picture lol) that had Magnum and Ben & Jerry Ice-creams in it.

 Most of the restaurants are already open ranging from restaurants that are similar to New York New York, and also similar to the Fish & Co.

Here was what we ate at the Chinese Restaurant since the restaurant that was similar to the New York New York restaurant had a waiting time of an hour for the food.

Sweet & Sour Soup

Soup was nice

Chicken Chop Fried Rice

Luncheon Meat Fried Rice - The one I had (Yes, I know it is quite a boring choice… :p )

End –> :p

The Final Verdict
(Currently searching for nicer stars lol)

Food Quality: 4/5
Great! 

Value for $$$$*: 5/5

* From 11AM – 2PM

Menu Variety: 4/5
Great!

Ambience: 4/5
Great!

Service Quality: 3/5
Polite but not that attentive, i.e re-filling of water, getting a staff to take your order.
They seem to need more staffs especially during the office lunch hours.
