thai style fish head S$25

family decided to go out for 4pax dinner.

didn’t want to venture far. went to forture restaurant at old holland road to enjoy their thai style fish head this evening on 17.1.2017. ^^

thai style fish head S$25

we have been taking the thai style fish head curry for donkey years, from the time it was S$15 to now S$25 for the same dish.

the most recent time we enjoyed the wonderful thai style curry fish head here was on 12.9.2016. ^^

now fish head curry dishes mostly S$25 anyway & this one is “them” good la! 🙂

fish head very fresh, large & meaty for 1/2 fish head, lots of vegetables & perfect tangy, tasty thai styled curry. so far i think this is the best curry fish head i/we had.

hotplate tofu S$10

we ordered the hotplate tofu.

i don’t remember taking this dish here before but daughter had.

it was good, tasty, nicely done egg tofu, well infused with the gravy & some prawns. very good! this dish i will order again.

cuttlefish kang kong S$10

also ordered the cuttlefish kang kong.

this dish only the sauce a bit not our favourite, a bit sweet & gluey. otherwise the cuttlefish was good & so was the kang kong.

S$49.50nett for 4 dishes inc fish head for 4pax

seafood horfun S$4

we ended off with a small horfun. most of us low carbs so it was quite enough.

good wok hae this evening. this dish can be inconsistent. for this evening it was good.

dinner for 4 dishes 4pax including S$25 fish head was S$49.50. pretty good. this like a go to place for us, almost like homecooked comfort food.

Forture Seafood

Address:

radish pastry 

3 of us OPS friends decided to have afternoon snack at paradise dynasty at OneKM mall on 17.1.2017. ^^

they have 50% off dumsum & ramen & desserts 3pm to 5.15pm. 🙂

peanuts & chestnut appetizer

the appetizer here, peanuts & chestnuts, quite nice so we took it.

i think it’s about $2 & chinese tea like S$1.50pax.

radish pastry 

we ordered 3 dimsum.

the radish pastry was nice. very competent, fluffy pastry, sweet, tasty radish fillings.

xioalongbao 小笼包 

xioalongbao 小笼包 here average. quite ok but other places like crystal jade, imperial treasures etc are better.

skin was ok, thin & held up not breaking easily, the soup was sweet but not as tasty as other places.

even the soup in the 生煎包 at 祥源记xiang yuan ji (405 jln besar on 1.12.2016) were much sweeter, tastier.

spicy dumplings 抄手 

the spicy dumplings 抄手 here very good, the slight mala 麻辣sauce, smooth, great tasting dumplings.

chashu ramen 

the braised pork belly lamian, was quite good, but like my friend said, a long distant behind a good japanese chashumen. the pork belly texture, taste very different, far from a good chashumen standard.

bean paste pancake 豆沙饼 

one friend ordered the bean paste pancake 豆沙饼.

not my favourite dessert, but they do it very well here, crispy skin, not too sweet red bean paste, very good really…

3 dimsum + ramen + dessert + tea & appetiser all added up to S$28…as i said previously one of the best value-for-money dimsum (12.8.2016)!

cendol @ old town white coffee

after the dimsum tea session, we adjourned to old town white coffee for cendol, more like no other place to go for cendol around here (but later we found ther’s another one incik tan or something claiming penang food…we should try that next time).

cendol @ old town white coffee – S$3.90

this S$3.90 ok only not really good.

it maybe thicker than some hawker centres, but zero match to four seasons at toa payoh lor 8.

the gula melaka was totally inferior, looked thick but did not have the “pang” intense flavours, coconut milk too. i think this place 2 times more than enough for me.
