"I have a love affair with Spanish food, having travelled to at least eight cities in Spain over the past three years. So it means a lot when I say this octopus dish ($28) from Dehesa blew my mind.
"The octopus tentacle is first grilled to perfection, then laid on a bed of potatoes. Thinly sliced pieces of lard - yes, lard - are placed on top of it, before it is brought to you and torched at the table to melt the lard and meld the ingredients together.
"This dish is a definite must-try, especially for anyone who is missing authentic Spanish food as much as I am."

"I am this family-owned Italian restaurant's repeat customer because you can taste the love in the food and the warmth in their service. Each time I visit and try a new dish, it has always been amazing.
"We already know bacon and eggs are a winning combination, but when on top of this homemade crusty pizza and smothered with cheese, it will render you speechless. Forget the diet - the Bismark Pizza ($25.90) is worth every single calorie."

"It was my first time to Akira Back and the Brother From Another Mother Roll ($23) sealed the deal for me.
"It had unagi kabayaki, anago tempura, shaved foie gras and ponzu mayo. I ate it faster than I could write that last line."

"Best fried chicken in town, period. Arnold's is our home-grown version of KFC. Chances are, if you are an aficionado of fried chicken, you will know Arnold's.
"They use really good batter over their fresh, succulent pieces of chicken - perfect for big family gatherings or a night out with your mates. You can expect to fork out about $40 for a set meal for five people."
