peking duck 五彩北京鸭

from my Facebook dated 28.10.2016 –

today my RI buddies bought me a belated birthday lunch & did many wonderful things for me.

this kai garden 嘉苑  truely the best fine dining Chinese restaurant i have been to…chef & staff from taste paradise…

food & service both super.

green tea cake from flor patisserie also super👍👍👍

special lunch menu

my RI friends arranged this lunch on 28.10.2016. ^^

the friend who organised picked the menu items.

vine tomato in plum sauce

there were 4 items to start off the lunch.

vine tomato in sweet plum

the sweet vine tomatoes was marinated with sweet plum, unique & appetizing. 🙂

marinated cloud fungus with garlic & vinegar

i like the tasty crunchiness of the cloud fungus 爽口.

marinated cloud fungus with garlic & vinegar

& the garlic & slight sourness of vinegar. 🙂

roast pork 烧肉

this roast pork 烧肉 also very good.

roast pork 烧肉

though i did not think it was any better than the roast pork 烧肉 at tunglok signature orchard parade.

tunglok signature’s roast pork 烧肉 – S$12

for me tunglok signature’s looked better & tasted better la. 🙂

xo fried carrot cake

the xo carrot cake was good.

xo fried carrot cake

flavourful, not too strong xo sauce.

fried siu mai

the 4 appetizers were followed by 2 dimsum.

the fried siu mai was a special here.

fried siu mai

it was nice, tasty, i guess uncommon, not sure it was better than normal steamed siu mai.

anyway siu mai not my favourite dimsum, but i know it is for 1 of my friend here. we had to order it in hong kong for him…lol! ^^

charcoal shengjianbao 生煎包

the charcoal shengjianbao 生煎包 was quite excellent, tasty quite juicy there’s actually some soup inside. 🙂

seemed that a friend asked the restaurant if they have squid-ink dish (he said i like to make squid ink dish), the restaurant said no but they have charcoal 生煎包. lol! ^^

charcoal shengjianbao 生煎包

shengjianbao 生煎包 not my favourite. like a ba pao 肉包made as 锅贴. many places no much juice. this one here a bit of soup, but overall experience still cannot compare with a good xiaolongbao 小笼包.

pig intestine soup 猪肚汤

the pig intestine soup 猪肚汤 was really superb!

pig intestine soup 猪肚汤

so very tasty, intense yet smooth. the best!

pig intestine soup 猪肚汤

i think there was 金华火腿 to give it the smooth & deep flavours. there was also intestines & sea whelk.

peking duck 五彩北京鸭

the peking duck 五彩北京鸭 is a signature dish here. see also top photo.

it was certainly visually commanding. impressive la! 🙂

peking duck 五彩北京鸭

there were 5 colours skin & 5 sauces. all the skin were excellent!

peking duck 五彩北京鸭

we could only take 2 pieces each.

i tasted all 5 sauces. for me the original sauce & the sesame sauce were the best.

peking duck 五彩北京鸭

overall, a very pleasing dining experience. though i generally prefer roast duck to peking duck for purpose of eating duck.

tiger garoupa poached in lobster broth

the tiger garoupa poached in lobster broth is another signature dish here. 🙂

tiger garoupa poached in lobster broth

very impressive on bed of chipped ice like sashimi.

server poaching tiger garoupa in lobster broth

the server doing the shabu涮, poaching the garoup fillet in the lobster broth.

tiger garoupa poached in lobster broth

another superb dining experience. ^^

tiger garoupa poached in lobster broth

very tender, tasty garoupa fillet & wonderful lobster broth.

tiger garoupa poached in lobster broth

so good! 🙂

i will try to think up a similar fish fillet dish at home.

salt & pepper garoupa 椒盐班件

they did salt & pepper garoupa 椒盐班件 for the remaining pieces.

salt & pepper garoupa 椒盐班件

salt & pepper 椒盐 not my favourite preparation as many places have too much batter.

salt & pepper garoupa 椒盐班件

this one here was very well done la. 🙂

fried duck meat 炒鸭件

the fried duck meat 炒鸭件 not so popular.

we were all quite full by then.

it was not badly done, but i prefer just to eat the duck, just as i like to eat roast duck.

minced chestnut mushroom dumpling

the mushroom chestnut roll in pumpkin sauce was a fine piece of cuisine.

minced chestnut mushroom dumpling

looked nice, tasted great, but not particularly a dish i need to eat la, especially i saw it cost S$22 on the menu.

grilled scallops on noodles on chawanmushi egg white

the noodles on a bed of chawanmushi like steamed egg white was quite excellent.

grilled scallops on noodles on chawanmushi egg white

the grilled scallop was very well done, and the poached kailan crunchy & sweet.

grilled scallops on noodles on chawanmushi egg white

a nice dish to round off a fabulous meal.

i tried creating this dish at home, but not too successful. will give it another go!

flor patissierie macha jelly cake & complimnetary longevity buns

my friend went to get a macha jelly cake from flor patissierie.

flor patissierie macha jelly cake

lovely cake! really nice.

the restaurant provided the longevity buns. quite odd that the only complimentary item they provide & it was quite bad. the lotus paste was dry not moist & tasty. the complimentary buns at hung kang & swatow all better than this. maybe they bought this item from some supplier???

this was a really enjoyable lunch for me.

my friends did me several great very pleasant surprises la! very memorable this lunch, so must commit to record on my blog & FB! ^^

among the best fine dining dishes i had so far.  for me, majestic, tunglok & xin cuisine all very good chinese fine dining. for elaborateness & presentation, kai garden maybe more fine on some/most dishes.

the other notable thing was the service was superb throughout from every server. & almost the entire staff came in to sing the happy birthday song. we stayed quite long & late & they served us very well.

i think my friends gave them a good tip.

Kai Garden 嘉苑

cold crab S$48

my dear OPS friend WT bought me a birthday dinner recently at element @ amara recently though his birthday is in the same month as mine, so i might as well by buying him dinner. haha! 🙂

anyway tonight’s my chance to return the favour. i had a S$100 e-voucher with chui huay lim expiring this month. came in handy la!

we had a great enjoyable dinner including 2 of my close RI friends at chui huay lim on 28.10.2016. ^^

chui huay lim – very crowded

i have not been to chui huay lim for a while. find the food rather expensive here.

still, it is very crowded on this friday night, something not always common even in good makan joints.

chilled pig trotter’s jelly S$10

i ordered the pig trotter’s jelly.

wife found it too porky, too strong. i must be influenced. also thought it was not so great.

strange thing it was not served with serng ni chou (minced garlic vinegar), we had to ask the manager for it.

my own pig head’s terrine 猪头冻 

wife said my own pig head’s terrine 猪头冻 is better la. ^^

prawn rolls S$10

the prawn rolls & achar were ok.

roast suckling pig S$188

there was a suckling pig promotion at S$188.

i was asking about fish thinking to order a treadfin tail, a teochew dish. but was told it’s S$10 per 100g & servings are 1kg. S$100 for treadfin tail? & garoupa is served in portions at S$98??

i think the prices just not right!

so it was easy for me to decide on the S$188 suckling pig la. 🙂

roast suckling pig S$188

& this was very good, among the best i have taken.

certainly far better than the suckling pig we had at ban heng recently!

cold crab S$48

i ordered a cold crab S$48. 🙂

it had good amount of roe. crab was firm & sweet.

cold crab S$48

i was telling my friends somehow teochew cold crab was just much nicer than the cold seafood served at restaurant buffets…

cold crab S$48

the crab was quite enough for 6 of us.

braised duck with tofu S$18

i ordered the braised duck.

duck was good, much better than the goose at ban heng. very pang – tasty!!

they also serve braised goose, of course more expensive.

prawn with yellow chives S$48

everyone loved the yellow chives. every nice veg.

prawn with yellow chives S$48

the king prawns were very big.

prawn with yellow chives S$48

& done well, bouncy, plump, great bite texture & taste.

kailan with tipor S$24

we were very full actually, especially 3 of us had an excellent lunch earlier.

anyway we could not cancel order of the last dish. the kailan at S$24 was kind of expensive (like c/w the S$18 braised duck), but it was an excellent dish. kailan was crunchy & sweet, nicely done! tipor added special flavours, both the veg dish (the yellow chives as well) had ti por for added taste.

6pax dinner was S$302 nett after S$100 discounts. i guess quite ok considering that the suckling pig alone was S$188++.

Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine

Address:

#1 1/2 suckling pig ok not the best 

wife bought 6pax family dinner at ban heng harbourfront on 26.10.2016. ^^

we were seated in an inner room that could seat 3 tables. 1 was occupied in addition to ours. & there was a balcony outside overlooking sentosa. 🙂

6pax suckling pig dinner S$298 

we had 1/2 suckling pig.

it was a long menu, many dishes including sharksfin, fish, scallops, braised goose, abalones, so i guess can be said to be a good value set.

#1 1/2 suckling pig ok not the best 

the suckling pig was ok still nice but not the best.

2 days later i had suckling pig at chui huay lim & that was far better.

#2 crabmeat sharksfin soup

#2 crabmeat sharksfin soup – average 

the crabmeat sharksfin soup was average, not the thin gluey tasteless soup, had enough ingredients, ok aste but also not great.

#3 steamed garoupa – sauce excellent fish a bit over 

the hong kong steamed garoupa had very tasty sauce.

#3 steamed garoupa – sauce excellent fish a bit over 

the fish itself though was a bit over.

honestly we do much better ourselves at home every time la…

#4 braised goose – braise was tasty meat so so 

i asked the server if it was duck or goose as stated in the menu.

the server replied duck but i guess it was really impossible to tell. seemed like large sliced pieces.

#4 braised goose – braise was tasty meat so so 

the braising sauce was quite “pang”, but the meat was so so, not so tasty, flavourful.

2 days later we had braised duck at chui huay lim & it was a lot better.

#5 scallops brocoil – brocoli was excellent! 

the brocoli was crunchy & sweet, quite excellent!

scallops were ok good, fresh & sweet.

#6 abalone spinach – usual good restaurant standard 

#6 abalone spinach – usual good restaurant standard 

the abalone spinach was a competent dish, the usual good restaurant standard.

#6 abalone spinach – usual good restaurant standard 

nice big abalone! nicely braised very well done.

#7 cereal king prawns – excellent!

the cereal king prawns was among the best dish this evening!

#7 cereal king prawns – excellent!

king prawns were very large prawns, nicely fried, succulent & tasty. cereal was flavourful, sweet but not like the sickeningly sweet milk powered prawns at 3 chefs.

#8 yeemeen – tapao ‘cos too much food

#8 yeemeen – tapao ‘cos too much food 

we were too full to eat the yeemeen so tapao.

yeemeen was mediocre.

#9 orh nee – poor not good

#9 orh nee – poor not good 

orh nee was poor, quite tasteless, not “pang” at all!

dinner was S$361 for 6pax with 1/2 suckling pig & lots of dishes with good ingredients. but preparation & taste was kind of a bit below par, and really we don’t need to eat so much food, so a few good ones will do la…

daughter bought carrot cake from cake spade

Ban Heng Harbourfront

lobster,alaskan crab, spanner crab, oysters

my dear OPS friend WT arranged an early 5pax birthday dinner for me on 24.10.2016. ^^

element @ amara

the place was element at amara hotel.

the price for dinner buffet is S$65pax.

we had a special staff price at 50% discounts.

crayfish,lobster,spanner crab

i have not been to element for more than 10 yrs.

the buffet is very different now. good standard ya. 🙂

there were crayfish, lobster, spanner crab at the cold seafood station (above photo), & crayfish & alaskan crab legs.

i picked some lobster, spanner crab, alaskan crab legs, & oysters (top photo).

spanner crab was good, meat very compact.

cold seafood station

the alaskan crab legs were so so, not so sweet. cold lobster also so so, quite average, also not so sweet.

likewise the oysters, not creamy & plump.

i didn’t take the mussels.

oyster, crayfish, spanner crab

cold crayfish same, same.

spanner crab

for me, this (spanner crab) was the best for me among the cold seafood. a friend though thought it was bothersome to eat.

c/w the S$62pax lunch i had at the line recently, the cold station station would be far superior to the line.

perhaps dinner at “the line” would also feature lobster etc…

i am kind of not much into the western cold seafood thing. somehow they are not so tasty & seem a waste of lobster etc. & somehow western cold crabs are never quite like teochew cold crabs (which i also don’t take often).

sashimi/sushi station

chef ah yau at the sashimi station is a friend of my OPS friend WT.

sashimi moriawase = kajiki, sake, maguro, cooked prawns, tako, sake toro, more maguro

we had a very nice plate of sashimi moriawase = kajiki, sake, maguro, cooked prawns, tako, shake toro, more maguro.

it was good sashimi, not superior standard. kajiki & shake toro (salmon belly) best!^^

mayo aburiya salmon sushi

& we had a plate of mayo aburi (flamed) salmon sushi. very nice sushi dish! 🙂

temaki – hand rolls

i had a temaki, good standard too! 🙂

cooked food station

black pepper crayfish, roasted cod with bonito, kailan

i took some roasted cod with bonito flakes, black pepper crayfish , & some kailan.

the cod was good! i had another helping afterwards.

the black pepper crayfish quite ok too, more tasty than the cold crayfish becos of the pepper sauce. 🙂

peking duck station

there was a peking duck station.

peking duck & kailan

i tried some peking duck. i thought it was below par, maybe just too much food to contend with la…

carving station for roast-striploin

i tried the roast striploin.

roast striploin

it was pretty good standard la….

salad station

took the smoked salmon & smoked duck.

roast-striploin, smoked salmon, smoked duck breast, more roasted cod, scallops

not the very flavourful type so don’t leave much impression. say whereas the smoked duck breast i got from phoon huat for the recent Second FGS Charity Dinner was quite distinctly flavourful & special.

cooked food & miso ramen sation

i tried the chicken miso ramen.

miso ramen

it was pretty good. broth was tasty & ramen nice.

obviously not quite comparable to the broth of a S$16++ ramen (which i like never want to pay S$16++ for).

cempedek creme brulee

chef ah yau recommended the cempedek creme brulee.

the cempedek quite distinctly flavourful so a delight to try. just a little on the sweet side i thought.

fruits

& we had some fruits.

it was a very enjoyable dinner for me. WT also ordered a very nice chocolate truffle cake for me. we had a great evening together.

============================

this element buffet is a good standard hotel buffet.

at S$65pax i wouldn’t myself be interested.

at 50% discounts it was definitely worthwhile, more so than “the line” lunch which though have much greater variety of food but not really standout food.

anyway at my age, not good to have too much buffet la…. 🙂

Element Restaurant @ Amara Singapore

samsui chicken & mushroom brocoli

a friend bought lunch @ soup restaurant 三盅两件at clementi mall on 26.10.2016. ^^

we ordered 2 dishes – samsui chicken & mushroom brocoli. 🙂

samsui chicken – S$18.90

i have not been to soup restaurant for probably more than 10years.

samsui chicken a long time signature dish of soup restaurant.

it really is an excellent dish!

samsui chicken – S$18.90

this dish is like 白斩鸡, the chicken rice chicken, but is served with minced ginger sauce & no chilli.

the chicken is tender, moist & sweet, and the minced ginger sauce is a perfect condiment. 🙂

definitely better than the 白斩鸡 i made.

it is taken with lettuce, but i was quite happy eating the chicken on its own. 🙂

mushroom brocoli – S$12

the other dish was brocoli with mushrooms, nice & tasty.

a competent dish, nothing special.

lunch for 2pax was S$37. quite ok.

Soup Restaurant 三盅两件 @ Clementi Mall

teochew muay dishes 

went with sis & bil to ye shanghai at bukit merah view for 3pax lunch today on 27.10.2016. ^^

rain was heavy & carpark full as usual even at 1130am. anyway i managed to park after dropping sis & bil. 🙂

sis ordered 8 dishes (fish, sotong & 6 veg) for S$23 including 3 porridge.

yellow croaker 小黄鱼 – S$5 

fish was excellent, fresh & sweet, especially taken with tau jeon.

chilled sotong – S$8

the teochew chilled sotong was a large one, pretty ok.

eggplant 

all the veg dishes were good.

today the eggplant was average, so so.

cabbage with ikan bilis 

cabbage was best with ikan bilis.

bittergourd 

bittergourd with black bean sauce was good.

veg

veg

sliced fish noodles soup – S$6

i didn’t have a good experience with new food town seafood zi char dishes the last time.

my youngest daughter didn’t want the master tang wanton noodles after looking at it, and nothing much else to order here, so decided to have the fish soup at new food town fish soup on 23.10.2016.

interestingly, this fish soup turned out to be very good!

broth was tasty, sliced fish was good, & daughter picked a slight brown stringy noodles, not the usual mee kia, and that was very good.

new food town fish soup

this stall i will come back & try myself.

NEW FOOD TOWN FISH SOUP 新食城鱼汤

wanton noodles dry – S$3.50

daughter wanted to try master tang wanton noodles, so 5 of us went to kopitown at 6th avenue on 23.10.2016.

so much good reviews by so many writers.

so much good things written about mr tang. at 84, among the oldest master hawkers in singapore, 20 years as chief kitchen trainer at crystal jade, makes his own noodles, hong long style noodles etc….

too bad i really dislike this noodles.

i think it’s the worse wanton noodles i have taken!

the much written about S$3.50 wanton noodles dry has no char siew. i did not take the wanton, but the noodles were really “dry” & tasteless, hardly any sauce & only tasted of oyster sauce, which as a standalone taste something i do not like…

it looks nothing like the S$3.50 wanton noodles dry photos in so many other reviews.

master tang wanton noodles

must be a bad day la! boss not around..

wanton noodles soup

i don’t think anything of the noodles soup either!

dumpling soup 水饺汤

the dumpling soup 水饺汤 for me mediocre at best la…

for me the jian kang wanton noodles, pork ribs, dumpling soup 水饺汤 (in every department) were so many times more superior.

normally i would not go back to such a stall…but there being so many good reviews…maybe i will give it any try some day..not so thrilled about going back too soon though…

#1 lobster ball with chef’s special sauce

had dinner with wife at tunglok signatures orchard parade on 22.10.2016. ^^

been here several times lately, & enjoying it everytime. 🙂

6-course dinner set

we just had an excellent 6-course dinner here 3 weeks back on 2.10.2016, so was quite disappointed to see a change of menu!

as it turned out, the new menu was very good too.

#1 lobster ball with chef’s special sauce

first course was a deep-fried lobster ball.

very good! not as good as the lobster steak in the last menu, but still very nice. chef’s special sauce quite special, a bit japanese.

#2 flambe tan jia sharksfin soup

flambe sharksfin was good as always.

#2 flambe tan jia sharksfin soup

good serving of sharksfin & very good stock.

#3 star garoupa fillet

the steamed star garoupa with preserved veg was excellent!

star garoupa fillet

very very good.

i think i will try this style (with preserve veg) with red garoupa at home.

#4 belly pork

wife generally doesn’t prefer lamb rack.

so we asked for a change, and they served her a belly pork dish.

#4 belly pork

it was very good.

very tender & crackling skin.

not really that much different from my own gordon ramsay slow braised crackling belly pork.

#4 pan-grilled lamb rack

but the lamb rack was better!

wife liked it actually after she tried, though she wouldn’t take 1 serving by herself so the change was still a good one, so we could try both dishes.

#4 pan-grilled lamb rack

it really is the best chinese styled fine dining lamb rack i have taken.

not the usual sickly sticky chinese sauce. quite western actually or fusion…

this also i can think of doing at home.

#5 sliced abalone noodles

the very thick slice abalone quite impressive. 🙂

sliced abalone noodles

noodles were prefect!

& mushrooms, spinach all very good! 🙂

#5 sliced abalone noodles

the lobster steak noodles was still better than this though.

#6 aloe vera with lime sorbet in young coconut

we didn’t want the pulut hitam dessert, so changed both to aloe vera with lime sorbet.

#6 aloe vera with lime sorbet in young coconut

this really refreshing & enjoyable.

not better than the usual 雪中情怀we used to have but a very good dessert on its own right la! 🙂

overall dinner was S$126 (or S$63pax nett) after amex love dining 50% discounts. very good value top quality dinner set!

chai buay, tau kee & pig trotters

my OPS primary school classmate bought 3 pax lunch at joo siah bak koot teh today on 19.10.2016. ^^

joo siah bak koot teh 裕城肉骨茶

joo siah quite well known, but i have not tried before.

we were there at 1.50pm.

no queue at this time but the long排骨sold out, so friend ordered 肉骨.

kai xiang food centre

joo siah is located at a coffeeshop kai xiang food centre. 🙂

bakuteh

the bkt was better than i expected.

actually i was not expecting much, as i can make very good bkt myself easily with cheap ingredients.

bakuteh

joo siah’s soup was good, better than mine i think.

my frozen prime ribs better than this 肉骨 though, as it is prime ribs. prime ribs are more fatty & have better bite, whereas the pork ribs have large part of lean meat not so flavourful & poorer texture.

liver, kidney, small intestines

liver, kidney, small intestines was pretty ok.

on balance, i like seng kee (amk ave 10)’s pig’s tail soup better.

pig trotters

pig trotters quite flavourful. the gelatinous part was good. there was a lot of lean meat though & texture average though taste was good.

by comparison, seng kee (amk ave 10)’s pig trotters would be the kind of standard i prefer.

tau kee

tau kee was good.

chai buay

& chai buay ok too. i would prefer the teochew type chai buay but i guess they were quite different dishes.

lunch for 3pax was S$42.

don’t know if it was expensive. guess it is like the going price in a good bkt place, that’s why i feel quite happy having my own bkt at home.

lunch was fun. we chatted for quite long after makan. then the friends adjourned, came to my place for some kaya toast & more coffee chat.

lobster steak noodles 龙虾扒面 S$28

had an excellent dinner chat with my brother this evening at tunglok signatures orchard parade on 18.10.2016. ^^

a place wife & i like & i enjoy many makans here with family & friends.

i was going to order the excellent london duck but now they priced the duck at S$26 (no discounts) c/w S$30 & 50% amex love dining discounts for 2pax i had just recently on 7.9.2016.

no point for me to order that as it would equal a S$52 order for other menu items entitled to discounts.

pumpkin soup － one of many excellent lie tong 例汤 (S$16)

we had the lie tong 例汤. tunglok is excellent for lie tong 例汤. i think better than many sharksfin soup.

& this is one of many very nice lie tong 例汤. my helper can make many of these soups very well. this one though was really super here.

pumpkin soup ingredients － soft bones + pumpkin (S$16)

simple ingredients pork soft bones & pumpkin.

pumpkin soup ingredients － soft bones + pumpkin (S$16)

we finished all of them la….^^

roast pork 烧肉 – S$12

one look & you know this roast pork was excellent.

roast pork 烧肉 – S$12

skin could not be more crispy & yet so fine. & the meat texture & taste simply perfect!

prawns in 2 ways – wasabi & salted egg (S$10)

i ordered 1 portion.

prawns were fresh & well fried. this one the batter not the best.

sauces were just nice not overpowering. tomato was excellent.

rack of lamb S$15

this is one place that serves the very best chinese rack of lamb in fine dining presentation.

rack of lamb S$15

usually chinese styled lamb rack is too sickly stickly sweet. this one just perfect.

lobster steak noodles 龙虾扒面 S$28

& the lobster steak was just par excellence. very fresh, bouncy, sweet, tender.

scallop noodles S$10.80

the scallop noodles was fine too.

but of course paled in comparison la…

complimentary beetroot cocktail juice

the server told us this was beetroot, with apple, lime etc.

most mistook it as watermelon. me too la! 🙂

scallop noodles S$10.80

dessert here very good, but brother too full to add a vegetable dish or dessert.

2pax dinner came to S$59 after 50% amex love dining discounts. now they don’t offer parking so it’s S$4 per entry parking for dinner. manageable. 🙂

we stayed & had long chat after dinner. never fail to enjoy great makans & outing here.
