Restaurant Review:- Aloha Ma Maison Hawaiian Kitchen, Bugis +, Victoria Street, Singapore

 We went to Aloha Ma Maison, Hawaiian Kitchen at Bugis + in Singapore.

This is a Hawaiian Theme Restaurant - it being Hawaiian - we thought it would have served large portions!

We were greeted amicably and had two comfortable seats.

 I ordered the spaghetti carbonara. Unfortunately the  spaghetti was too oily and the portion was unexpectedly small!

 The Katsu Curry was also a small portion - but the taste was as to be expected.

It was cooked well.

We thought this was expensive for a meal with small portions.

We would not recommend Aloha Ma Maison Hawaiian Kitchen unless you were going for drinks or Desserts - which look better value!

Bar Review :- Two Chefs, 229 Koktanod, Kata Beach, Karon Muang, Phuket 83100, Thailand

We went to the lovely 2 Chefs restaurant in Kata Beach Phuket. It is lovely to take advantage of their happy hour and order their delicious Frozen Magaritas.

This lovely raspberry frozen Magarita was heavenly in the Phuket Evening Heat.

It was lovely to watch the traffic and beach afficionados go by and look at the tuk tuk drivers touting for trade. A great spot

 As you can see the Strawberry Frozen Magarita was also superb.

The Service here was great too - when we came here for the Second time - with greeted with 'Welcome Back' and escorted to our favourite Window Seat!

 The happy hour seems very long - and we got our Margaritas for 95 baht each! Wonderful!

 The Two Chefs is easy to find - as it is opposite the Boat House - behind Kata Beach in Phuket!

 Here is the Blue Magarita - looking like a wonderful work of art!

It was just enjoyable to savour the atmosphere in this peaceful and ambient restaurant.

A Chocolate Frozen Magarita was decadent and was my favourite flavour by far.

The 2 Chefs is a perfect place to While away the hours in Kata Beach, Phuket.

5/5 for Service and Ambience.

4/5 for their Margaritas!

Restaurant Review :- Richoux, 41A S Audley Street, Mayfair, London, W1K 2PS

 We were walking in Mayfair on a Sunday Morning and came across Richoux - which frankly is a gem of a restaurant. Magnificent in its eccentricity.

It feels plucked from the bygone eras and it was very difficult to find a table as many church goers and sunday strollers had come out to savour the atmosphere of this lively restaurant.

The interior decor was beautiful and building was statuesque.

 The Mushroom risotto was very nice and the helping was average in size - but enough for us. It was cooked perfectly.

 The club sandwich was run of the mill - but it meant my hunger quickly dissapeared.

 The bill was very acceptable for Mayfair - a very expensive area of London.

We highly recommend this restaurant - especially for tourists - even to take a coffee and cake will be pleasing.

Service was avaerage - as they were quite understaffed - 2/5

Food - 4/5

Atmosphere - 5/5

Restaurant Review:- Ma Maison, Bugis Junction, Singapore

 Ma Maison at Bugis Junction is a very relaxing and feel good restaurant, especially on a Sunday Afternoon.

 The ornate pan european trappings stuck to the walls and ceiling are appealing, as is the sing-along Music.

How could that not attract you?








The Napolitan Spaghetti was very nice - but we  did not really care for the hotdog sausages. On the whole - It was nice though.

 The Chasoba Salad was delicious and refreshing. The presentation was excellent too.We finished the lot!

 Clam Chowder soup was nice but we were a little dissapointed that no bread was served with it. The soup was very nice but the portion was small.

Good value for some nice dishes. The ambient music lifts your spirits. The service was excellent too.

Ma Maison is certainly worth a visit.

Service :- 5/5

Food :- 3/5

Music and Surroundings :- 5/5

Overall :- 5/5

Cafe Review :- Hoshino Coffee, Plaza Singapora, Singapore

We walked around the expanded Plaza Singapura and came across a delightful Japanese Style Cafe. It was very busy and the sweet snacks looked tempting.

 We were met and promptly ushered to a table for two.

The waiter did admit that they were short of waiting staff and unfortunately we did notice this when we ordered. I'm sure the management will sort this out quickly as it is a very popular and nice place.

 The Honey Pancake melted in your mouth and was absolutely delicious. We would not hesitate to order this beauty again. The texture of the pancake was exquisite.

We recommend you try it.

 The Mango Smoothie tasted fresh of the juicer - but not particular special either.

 Being health conscious souls - we love Matcha and the Jot Matcha Latte was tasty - well mixed and the presentation in this fine bowl was nice.

 The Vanilla Souffle was gorgeous - it went particularly well with the Matcha Latte.

The Vanilla center was so tasty. Highly recommended.

Quite an expensive place - as you see - over $40 dollars for 2 - but a really nice place to spend a Saturday Afternoon chatting with Friends and spending some relaxing times. Make sure you beat the crowds though.

2/5 for Service

4/5 for food and drink.

Verdict :- Recommended.

The Haddock Goujons with Peas, Chips and Tartare Sauce was fairly average - perhaps not their strong point. One to avoid.
黑线鳕鱼和豌豆、薯条、塔塔酱一般——也许不是他们擅长的菜。可以无视这个。

Lovely atmosphere, Lovely Staff and Good food!

Restaurant Review:- Graveleys Fish and Chips, Whitby, UK (英国的鱼饭馆)

A cold day in England offers no better opportunity to visit a traditional fish and chip chop, something British people seem particularly indulgent at.

What do Sydney and Whitby have in Common?
Captain James Cook of course! A son of Whitby, North Yorkshire.

We visited a lovely fish and chip restaurant called 'Graveleys' in the center of the delightful town.

 Now this is not the healthiest meal - but the fish was fresh and the mushy peas - were different to what we were used to.

We could look out at Whitby harbour and were warm and looked out at two locals playing in the sea - fully clothed in 9 degree weather. Yes they are tough and weather beaten people in Whitby!!

 The waiting staff were friendly and we arrived at 2pm so it was very quiet.

The cups of tea revived us and we walked around the town to work off the stodgy food!

 We didn't indulge in the Cakes. Next time maybe!! If we are ever back in Whitby!

 Treacle sponge or Bread and butter pudding. How English!

We highly recommend this place for a refuge from the temperamental English Weather!

Enjoy walking around the lovely quaint old shops in Whitby!
