Remember my harsh review on Duddell's dinner (Click here to read if you are interested)? It was a terrible dining experience for me and I once thought I will never step into the doorstep of Duddell's ever again.

Ted's Lookout - Delicious Tacos

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

I had been trying to date friends to Ted's lookout but without success in the past few months. Not until my birthday month hit and I finally got a say in dining option.

The mere reason I wanted to bring my friends to Ted's lookout is because of its fun vibe and most importantly its attractive free corkage since they had not got the alcohol license yet. As I mentioned earlier we finally went for dinner, but we were stupid enough not to check if the free corkage still applies upon reservation. (plus there is no reservation now -_-, my lovely friends..) You could have possibly guess by now, Ted's lookout already got their alcohol license and there is no free corkage anymore! (Sob sob!)

Zuma - Great Semi-buffet Brunch (Not the Main though)

Price: $$$$

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

It's my best friends's birthday and we started the day with Zuma's brunch. Initially I decided to go without alcohol, but as I stepped down the spiral stairs, I was immediately offered a glass of Bellini. How evil, so I have no choice but to compromise and had their wine brunch! :P

I had never been Zuma for food, I have only been to their bar so I was kind of surprised by its nice dinning settings beneath, particularly the al fresco area. Both the indoor and outdoor furnishing are impressive, grand but relaxing setting.
