1/2royal london duck = S$25

a OPS primary school classmate treated us to 4pax dinner at royal london duck at mandarin gallery level 4 on 4.10.2016. ^^

the royal london duck was very good! very impressed.

this the smallish fatty irish duck that is making its round in many restaurants in singapore.

tunglok signature’s 1/2 roast london duck 

tunglok signature’s roast london duck

tunglok’s signature’s royal london duck was amongst the best i had in singapore.

this one at royal london duck was just as good, and very pretty! 🙂

we had like 10 dishes for 4pax dinner

the host ordered many dishes. 🙂

char siew

char siew here also among the best i had.

very tender tasty pork belly, with a sticky slightly sweet sauce.

1/2royal london duck = S$25

the london duck was the best dish for the evening.

1/2royal london duck = S$25

if i have to make a comparison, i think tunglok’s was a bit more fatty so very fragrant & skin more crispy.

this one has very nice sauce. both were excellent!

pork trotters terrine 熏蹄

the 熏蹄 was very good too, very flavourful.

i would put this as tie with the char siew, second to the duck.

fragrant crunchy pork一口香酥肉

fragrant crunchy pork一口香酥肉 also very good, but just a bit salty.

i put this as 3rd best dish.

signature steamed rice roll – some springroll fun cheong

steamed rice roll an unusual dish, their signature item too.

it felt a bit like the 炸两, a hong kong dimusm i don’t much fancy, with yao cha guai 油条inside the fun cheong.

in this case spring roll fillings was nice & crispy too. good stuff! 🙂

xo turnip cake

xo turnip cake was good.

my youngest daughter favourite, not my favourite.

i had better xo turnip cake else where though eg mostly recently at full of luck club.

duck meat xiolongbao

duck meat xiaolongbao was ok, nice soup, nice fillings, skin didn’t tear except when picked up by my clumsy friend.. just kidding la…:-p

har gao

we ate har gao much later. the skin was rubbery.

maybe would be better if we ate when hot, but i think it was not as good as most dimsum places.

poached hk kai lan

poached kai lan very good.

poached hk kai lan

i ate many pieces, as the hostess kept serving to me.

conpoy porridge

our hungry friend ordered a plain porridge (he later ordered some kaya balls at yakun coffee place at paragon). it was a huge serving. i took 2 tablespoon to try.

it was among the best congee i had, so smooth, and when congee is done well so sweet for a plain item. this was as good as the congee in hong kong.

dinner came to S$100 for 4pax after 10% POSB/DBS discounts, quite good for so many dishes & very nice 1/2 duck.

i will come back with family & friends.

& we had a great evening makan & chat together, & later went over to yakun at paragon for a cuppa.

i didn’t notice but a friend’s daughter was at the next table. when she was leaving she came over to say hello with her daughter who just finished her PSLE. a pretty lady & her pretty daughter, a very well brought up well mannered & at ease little girl. 🙂

chilled mullet pigs tail bkt pork trotters = S$40

went with sis & bil to 光明山to pay respects.

after that drove to seng kee bakuteh @ amk ave 10 chong boon food centre on 4.10.2016. ^^

we were there about 11.15am, no queue yet.

long queue at 11.30am

later while we were eating, the queue was about 7-8pax.

seng kee bkt

seng kee sells bkt, pig’s tail, pork trotters & fish.

today they have chilled mullet 冻乌鱼 selling at S$12 & S$17, and pek tor (rabbit fish) selling at 2 for S$8.

chilled mullet 冻乌鱼pigs tail bkt pork trotters = S$40

price was expensive for supposedly cheap food in a market/food centre stall.

we had 4 items ＝ chilled mullet 冻乌鱼，pigs tail， bkt  & pork trotters for S$40.

& that was after refusing a huge plate of pig trotters & accepting a $4 plate instead!!!

chilled mullet 冻乌鱼=S$17

the chilled mullet 冻乌鱼 was S$17!!!

it was nice, fresh, tasty, skin easily removed (as it should be).

chilled mullet 冻乌鱼=S$17

it’s a larger chilled mullet 冻乌鱼 than the size i prefer to buy at sheng shiong when there is offer like 2 for S$8.90.

for this size, maybe about S$5 each.

& the chilled mullet 冻乌鱼 i made at home is equally nice as this one.

i forgot to take a separate photo for the bakuteh. it was S$7, NOT the excellent long prime ribs龙骨served by rong cheng 榕城 bakuteh at sin min road….

anyway bkt also quite nice, and soup very competent…

but really, no better than the cheap S$10/kg frozen prime ribs bkt i made myself at home. my soup just as good & really my prime ribs outright better lor! ^^

pigs tail = S$8

the pig’s tail was S$8. I guess quite ok price. a pig’s tail this size cost S$3+ at sheng shiong.

soup was good not super. pig’s tail was good!

pork trotters = S$4

& the pork trotters was good! excellent texture & flavours too.

so the food was actually pretty ok, the price (on the boards) were quite ok for trotters etc. & there was quite long queue so people do like the food.

but i really don’t like the attitude=pushing my sister a huge plate (which we rejected) like 2.5x to 3x the serving of the S$4 trotters when my sis asked for small. when i asked them to give the S$4, the second women said S$4 was for 1pax.

for this i myself will not return to this stall, at least for a while….
