Finally went there when ah boy wanna buy shorts at the " Army Market" In case sotong out there, "Army Market" = Golden Mile Food Centre. Golden Mile Food Centre <> Golden Shoe Food Centre. WHAT?

Well... Guess what?? Utter disappointment....
Maybe, that was slightly strong but expectation was not met. A bit pricey for a-super-long-walk-from-bugis-mrt and no air-con and maybe-will-be-trapped-if-raining location. And the presentation was neither good also ( served in styrofoam plate and bowl).
I ordered " 1 couple set " which meant 3 scoops + 2 waffles for $7.
You:" Wat Lau. 3+2 = 5 items for $7, cheap wat... You meow lah!"
Me:" Ya..Ya... See pictures first hor..."
Like that for $7!!!
The size of the plate was the one we normally use for bbq... and I must STRESS, the SMALL PLATE can!! And the container for ice-cream, ppl used to contain rice one lor. The 2 waffles and 3 scoops was all what ya can see in the picture.
But I must admit the waffles were indeed not too bad. Crispy crispy one. But then prolly to some, it might seem a bit tough. Ice-cream, normal lor. What? Ya mean it's gelato? Was it my taste bud, but I seriously think it was comparable to those Jingle Ring Ice Cream Man. Ha.
If I am to go there again which I doubt ( food quality & price dun warrant the long distance walk) , I will just order 1 waffles with chocolate sauce...
Well, this is a creative building made of driftwood and oyster shells designed by artist Li-Shian Hsieh. Every corner is a piece of art. From outside, it just looks like another piece of art. Who would have guess art and delicancies can blend together so well?
The exterior
Pianist at the basement playing beautiful tunes. It makes dining so artistic!
Sculptures at the entrance
Food I cant comment much, as I was with my tour group. But basically they served chinese food. Most importantly, we were all happily fed...keke
Our lunch
Steamed fish for everyone.. No need to snatch!
Milky Mochi
The texture is superb Q! With a sweet milky taste. I liked it so much that I even bought a box of 6 @NT 100. Must try!

As the name suggests, this is a TOILET-INSPIRED resturant. The settings and fixtures are all toilet bowls, bath tubs, shower heads etc. Even the food are served in toilet bowls, urinates and shits!! It is "disgustingly" amazing!! Aha...Before your mind starts to wonder off to those ECP toilets ( coz I find the toilets there superb dirty!!!! Yucks!!), take a look at the photos below:
Wondering what awaits us.... 怕怕
Clean toilets! Seats made of toilet bowls and tables made of basins.
More bowls
More bowls,basins and even shower heads?
Now you know they are just furnitures. So ready for the food?
Our bubble teas served in urinates.
Piping hot chicken chop served with soup and side dish. Huh, where is the side dish?? There, on the right... Alamak, still cant see? Look at a closer picture then....
Side dish served in SHIT bowl...wahahhahahah...
Baked seafood rice steaming in bath tub
Calamari, chicken pop and fries oso wanna steamed inside bath tub =p
Remind you of anything?
A big bowl of SXXX...erm.. I mean ice-cream!
The Taiwanese are just too generous! They threw all sorts of things like grass jellies, cereals, rasins ....
All these for merely NT690 (i.e S$32)! Good deal, right???
This was the awaited buffet. $42+++ for a person must be good lah! But then, I only paid half price, thanks to Woman Weekly voucher again!
And I was most glad that the buffet had not disappointed me. It had in fact, exceeded my expectation and my 20mins walk to the Hotel was not in vain (Please lor, the Hotel was so damn far from Orchard Mrt Station.. I must have walked at least 20mins). But for the sake of good food, I was willing to travel high and low.... =p
The spread was amazingly ===> MANY. And it was not just the varieties of food, even the selection within the category itself was more than other places.
1) The Salad and Fruit Booth
All sorts of vegetables, corns, tomatoes, quail eggs.. Use your own imagination to mix and match! As for fruits wise, they provided pear, prune beside the normal watermelon, papaya & pineapple etc
Lettuce & Seasoned Mushroom Salad
