Teahouse at China Square

The choices at this well established restaurant overwhelmed us at first, and decisions didn’t get easier as carts stopped by our table the minute we sat and thereafter every 30 seconds until we’d ordered enough food to fill our table. But once that happened, disturbance was minimal. We tried a few popular dimsum items our […]

Crossroads Cafe

This prime people-watching spot is primarily an alfresco extension of the indoor Marriot Café, and its menu is a crossroad of cuisines from Thailand, Italy, Malaysia and other regions.

Blue Potato

Now that it’s had a bit of time to work out the glitches, Blue Potato is becoming a winner in the dining stakes.

An Unfinished Life

Predictable and uninspiring, An Unfinished Life is a mediocre film with a palpable cast.Here we go again with another aging-old-man-learning-to-express-himself movie. With Robert Redford (Spy Game) in the lead as a jaded cowboy unable to recover from his son’s death, and Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby) as his sidekick, you know where this is heading. […]
