Dinner for Eight: Window on the Park Restaurant

December 11, 2009 | 65 Comments

I’ve mentioned about another surprise during the crab giveaway didn’t I?

As much as I will like to organize a 100 people food outing every month, it lacks intimacy and you probably will get just five minutes of me. So now I’m offering you my full undivided attention, over a buffet dinner.

I’ll be bringing 7 lucky folks to join me for a food tasting session at the newly renovated, Window on the Park Restaurant. Hold on a second, I can hear someone say there’s no such thing as a free lunch dinner in this world. Oh yes there is, the  dinner will be free for the seven of you, and we shall feast like kings and queens! So if you are available for dinner next Wednesday on the 16th Dec, try your luck by joining this contest.

Just a quick note on the buffet, it focuses more on local and Asian dishes, and the signature dishes include laksa and durian pengat. The restaurant also features three live stations which serve fresh pasta, local dish of the day, waffles and crepes.

HOW TO GO ON A DINNER BUFFET WITH ME

1. Leave a comment on this post

Tell me why you want to join me for buffet. ONE entry per person, and you can write anything. And unlike the last time, the winners will not be decided by any highly sophisticated method. Instead, you really need to crack your brains to leave an impressive comment that will stand out among the rest. For those who frequently leave comments on my blog, you will have a better chance, so hurry up and join me for dinner!

2. Use your own contactable email

Please use your own contactable email when you post the comment, it is highly unlikely that I will choose those who leave their comments using newly created/dubious email address. Anyway for the winners, I will be in touch shortly to tell you more details about the dinner.

The contest will run until 14th Dec Monday Midnight, and so you have exactly four days before it ends.

    Brad!!!

    I really want to go to this dinner because:
    1. I haven’t met you in person before. :)
    2. The restaurant looks AMAZING! (So pretty!)
    3. I love buffets. Especially those that have an extensive dessert section. Hmmm..

    But I can’t go :( ! Cos on Wednesday I’m going to Hawaii and then back to London :(

    Take loads of food pictures for me okay? And I’ll try to “taste” them via imagination!

    Dear Brad

    To quote the famous British novelist Virginia Woolf , “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. ”

    I have been working hellishly long hours at my hospital with my handphone going off endlessly. The pic of the restuarant is really enticing.
    Would really appreciate the rejuvenation and the awesome food that your inviation offers to make up for all the instant noodles and packet food that i have to endure while on call.
    Being a loyal supporter of LIC and a good makan kaki to all fellow food lovers, i promise to be on my best behaviour if chosen for the event =)

    Hmm. I hope to be choosen because I am someone who like to eat and see the food, my heart will be melt with so many delicious. I will feel do helpless and cannot resist with the food in front of me.. Haha..

    Having been following your tweets and before this offer, hope to meet u one day and this is the very opportunity. Moreover noted that Dr Derrick has written in and that would be company too.

    I have been there once for the Penang fair but the queues were super long and daunting to eat at comfort. Look forward to eating leisurely at least to enjoy the good food. Take me take me !

    Hi Brad,

    I have always look forward to meet you in person. The person behind all the fantastic food critics.

    The purpose for this comment is not just for the dinner. I am looking at the opportunity to meet and interact with people who are willing to put in efforts to try out good food.

    And also I am always truthful to myself. If the food is good, I will tweet it as good and give it the best description that I can express. If is not good, I won’t hesitate to share it too.

    Do keep me in mind! Thank you!

    Cheers!

    Having been reading your blog and following your tweets, it would be great to finally meet the man behind this awesome blog. Your pictures and illustrations always make me feel like grabbing the food out of the computer screen. And I really appreciate your honesty in the food reviews. Your blog has since become my reference for foodplaces to bring my friends and family to.

    It has been an eventful year for me. Having turned 21, being a student again, making new friends and growing closer with the old ones, travelling to various places etc. And of course, trying out many new food places haha. So I thought it’d be a great way to end and remember the year with this.

    Oh yes, I love food and I love to write too. ;)

    Had been years I last step in to the restaurant
    . So I hope I am chosen that give me the excuse to revisit the restaurant to enjoy
    the newly renovate place. Is durian penyat that
    good? waiting to try it.

    December 11th, 2009 @ 2:25 pm

    you gotta bring me along because….. the other time u said to me this : “you must come for my outing next time okay!” hehe.

    i just starting recovering from my bad case of food poisoning since monday 7th Dec 2009 and have been drinking just milo for sour plum drink for the past 3 days, i guess this buffet will come in time for me to re-gain what my stomach has been missing for the past 3 days.

    December 11th, 2009 @ 2:58 pm

    Hey Brad,

    I would LOVE to join you for this dinner cos:-

    1. The thought of the durian penyat makes me drool! :)
    2. I’m curious why the name of the restaurant is called “Window on the Park”. Gonna find out on that day! :)
    3. I love to try out new restaurants and food! In short, I am adventurous. :P
    4. Wanna interact with other food lovers. :)

    Choose me! :D

    You just hit me at my weak point by mentioning WAFFLES, DURIAN , BUFFET.
    esp when you say live station .. that means fresh waffles !
    woots=)
    keeping my fingers crossed that you will choose me .. like serously ..why ?
    I love buffets ,to see a wide spread of food in a kaleidescopic range of colours ( even if there is a chance i will kill myself trying to sample everything )
    Dun know what other reason I can give to “stand” out but really …
    What other reason is needed when u can have the king of fruits and whole table of desserts..

    Yo Brad,

    I think that Dr Derrick Yeo deserve to go if he’s legit… & IF he has time to go that is… being all so busy and all…

    Me, I don’t think I will qualify as I have always been 1+1 :) … Will be looking forward to your review though…

  19. Mike
    December 11th, 2009 @ 4:01 pm

    The restaurant looks great and you are such an altruistic blogger! But I feel like I still owe a debt to you for all the excellent suggestions you have provided me, and the effort you put into this blog that saves me a ton of time when looking for a new restaurant to try.

    I don’t want to be included in the contest -others are more deserving of the opportunity like someone who has never met you before, or a student without a lot of disposable income for restaurants.

    Do you think Me & the Mrs. could join you as just regular paying guests? I’d love to be part of the experience :)

  20. chin o l

    oh my oh my…I won’t go into details about how yummy your each and every single food picture looks but…

    I hope I get to go with you although:
    1) I am on diet!
    2) I might be a bit shy to meet u n the rest in person!

    but I still wanna go despite the above because:
    1) I can never resist the temptation of FOOD hence the always failed diet plans
    2) I would like to meet some makan kaki’s in Singapore!

    sincerely,
    Sheryl :)

    I want to join you for the buffet as I’m down with flu,sore throat and fever for near 1 week, but I am recovering. So I wish to be the lucky one to be going with you for this buffet dinner and treat it as a good treat for myself being a good girl and have been avoiding fabulous food.

    hi brad! I actually saw u at the nuffnang bloggers award nite but I didn’t say hi…so will I have the honour of introducing myself properly? *pleasy please please?*

    well, truth be told..the last attempt at windows on the park was dismal for me and since then I’ve kind of put it on my “to avoid” list..i’d LOVEEE to give it one more try…!

    You’re really spoilt for choice here with all your ardent fans (including myself) angling to dine with you at this locally inspired restaurant. It would be great to dine in the company of another foodie, and ruminate over the myriad flavours. It certainly adds more fun and oomph to the dining experience!

    Haha, so this is the surprise, and was I shocked to see so many comments on a day old blog post. Haha!

    I would love to join you for this dinner too. ( : Life is short. We have to enjoy every moment of it and seize any opportunity that comes by. I live by my life philosophy, “Live life to the fullest, as you only live life once.” That makes me always on a lookout on good restaurants; I want to try all types of food in the world; I live to eat! ( :

    If I haven’t chanced upon your blog that fateful day so long ago, I won’t have known so many wonderful restaurants which serve such delicious food, each making me a step closer to my life goal. And of course, a good friend like you whom I shared quite a lot with.

    I would love to take this opportunity once again to join you for a nice dinner with a good chat with you and the like-minded avid food lovers before I fly to Copenhagen for exchange. As a student, I would not be able to afford the high cost of the meals during exchange, and I would have to save and cook for myself. This dinner will definitely be one of the good last dinners I would have before I leave home for a foreign land.

    I hope to be chosen and I look forward to catching up with you! ( :

    Have been reading your blog regularly although i’m too lazy to comment, so yup! that why i’m trying my luck at this and there’s a free dinner INLVOLVED! Don’t get too many of those around these days. And I’m free on wed night i think…well at least i’m make myself free if i win this.

    And I’ll be going to Shanghai to work for 6 months for my attachment, coming Jan… SOoooOoo I’ll miss all the local goodies…and i have been cropped up in the library studying for exams for the past month, would be nice to enjoy a treat!

It was nice meeting you yesterday – sorry for not saying bye – was in a bit of a rush. Hope your flight back home is smooth! Now it’s time to trawl through your blog to see what the best things to eat in Singapore are – will be there in February! :D

    Oh my, this sure is a last minute grab for the prize. Well, the thing is, I’ve been on a horrible, horrible diet (that actually works, but it’s horrible) and if you’ve ever been on a diet, you’d know what I mean.

    So why don’t you give me something to look forward to at the end of it? Be my light and the end of the tunnel, won’t you?
