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.

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.

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

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

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.

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)

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)

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.
