An Evening to Remember: Our Family Reunion at Rasa Istimewa Waterfront

Welcome to Woodlands Waterfront Park For us, it was a change from our usual reunion dinner tradition of either a home-cooked meal or a mini buffet catered at home. This year, we decided to dine out for the first time at Rasa Istimewa Waterfront, a Halal restaurant serving a variety of Zi Char-style dishes. The experience was made even better by the stunning view of the Woodlands Causeway leading to Johor Bahru, with the upcoming RTS railway set to open by the end of 2026. Excited for the speedy ride and custom clearance for a JB day trip in 2027. Though we got stuck in traffic for a bit on our way from the West to the North, I didn’t mind too much.

Hi... I'm back for a short food review at Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant, Vivocity. It has been a long time since the 1st visit because whenever we are there, definitely a queue. So this time round we came early and manage to satisfy a 2nd round at this restaurant.

Wasn't feeling good so I ordered something light for myself. Plus a french fries. I can't get enough french fries. The seaweed french fries here was good and not oily. Crispy and soft. Definitely deserve a try on different flavours.

And I must really say the Shanghai soup noodles is thumb up! Smooth noodles and wanton skin. Fillings in the wanton is generous and Superb light-flavoured soup.

I forgotten what my hub had but basically his set of meal looks Instagram worthy pic but the taste... nah.... mediocre. That's what he said. He has quite a picky taste bud. Not like me. So long as the food is not stale, everything is good! Quite healthy set, consider it has vegetables, rice, egg, ~~pork/~~chicken chop and sausage. A balance meal.
