mikuni maki – S$25

had a great lunch with my OPS primary school friends at mikuni today on 4.7.2016.^^

there is 50% discounts for up to 4pax on monday for feed@raffles.

the last time i made a post on mikuni was on 3.1.2016.

mikuni maki – S$25

for today i decided to go ala carte to let my friends try the dishes i like.

we had a maki. usually i take the united nations futomaki, can’t remember if i took the signature mikuni maki before, probably did.

anyway it was good. unagi was the thick kebayaki fresh unagi type not the thin dry type, the standard of good maki in a good restaurant.

golden prawns – S$40

golden prawns seem to be a small helping today, or perhaps mikuni has reduced the size of the serving, was quite big portion previously. prawn was bouncy, but one friend didn’t like it, felt it was treated (processed type), like the chinese crystal prawns. maybe it was, don’t know.

boned-in kurobuta belly pork – S$42

i think the boned-in kurobuta belly pork was very good.

boned-in kurobuta belly pork – S$42

marbled & flavourful, and a very good serving size.

lobster uniyaki – S$48

i ordered a lobster uniyaki, then added a second as my friends all liked the dish. lobster was a fair size, i guess maybe 450g.

presentation was good (as always) & taste pretty good too.

kagoshima wagyu sukiyaki konabe – S$48

the kagoshima wagyu sukiyaki konabe is my perennial favourite.

today we have 2 orders to share among 4pax.

each order had 3 large pieces of thick cut marbled wagyu. one friend commented very good. in fact at 50% discounts, it was only S$24, and for that price you probably get thin cut ordinary NZ beef in an average restaurant.

mizayaki wagyu don – S$48

i ordered the miyazaki wagyu don to share. took this for the first time. i think it was really good, next time i come i will order one just for myself. ^^

lunch was S$204 for 4pax = S$51pax nett.

more importantly i enjoyed the lunch. i think all my friends do.

nowadays i do avoid set if i can unless i like the set & they are very good value. rather eat less & cherry pick the dishes i like lor…

whole peking duck – S$52 

silk is kind a newly discovered joint for me, only becos i had to spend S$89 by end jun quarter or would be charged the levy.

i did have a nice 3pax dinner here with my sis & bil few days back on 26.6.2016.

wife & family have not tried the restaurant so we went today for 5pax family lunch on 3.7.2016.

i ordered one whole peking duck. as it turned out, we ordered quite a bit of dimsum but managed to cancel one dish as we had too much food.

crispy char siew pao 

overall dimsum here not really up to good restaurant standard.

the crispy char siew pao was ok, not the best but quite accpetable, something i would order again.

har gao虾饺 

har gao虾饺 not too great, both prawn & skin.

glutinous rice chicken糯米鸡 

the glutinous rice chicken糯米鸡 was quite ok, i would say pretty competent. 🙂

xiaolongbao小笼包 

xiaolongbao小笼包  was poor. skin, fillings both poor & not much soup at all (& that is failure of the most important ingredient)!

prawn fun cheong虾肠 

prawn fun cheong虾肠 was poor, rubbery skin, prawns not great, sauce, passable.

crispy fupeiquin腐皮卷 

crispy fupeiquin腐皮卷was good.

soup dumpling汤饺 

i did not try the soup dumpling汤饺.

both wife & daughter said it was very good, so it must be good la…

steamed prok ribs 

steamed pork ribs quite good, a bit fatty, but tender & tasty.

steamed chicken feet 

steamed chicken feet ok, passable.

whole peking duck 

the peking duck was ok.

peking duck 

quite nice with wrap etc.

chinese rice wine frog米酒田鸡 – S$24

i ordered a medium portion of the chinese rice wine frog米酒田鸡. everyone liked it, fresh frog & nice rice wine flavours.

duck meat crispy noodles san meen – complumentary 

the duck meat crispy noodles san meen was complimentary (second eat for peking duck). it was a really huge helping good for 10pax.

everyone liked it. i think it was a really good standard san meen, crispy & tasty with the duck & sauce.

we were just too full though, took only about 1/3 & decided not to ta pao since we were having some other dinner & no one would be taking this.

we had another medium order of garoupa fillet (S$24), but managed to cancel it as we really could not take any more food. would have to ta pao the entire dish if we did not manage to cancel la…

the 5pax lunch was S$114 after 15% discount. there is GST but no service charge.

dimsum was overall poor & the food was not like super. but the dishes we ordered (other than dimsum) were i think well better than average & S$114 for 5pax lunch was a fairly good makan.
