chirashi don S$35.80

daughter bought 2pax lunch at sun with moon today. ^^

she started working some months back, so this was her treat.

i had not been to sun with moon for a while.

the most recent which i blogged was when they had 30% promotion on 11.9.2016, more than a year ago!

teriyaki salmon belly

anyway, i always like their chirashi & bara chirashi don.

it’s not really more expensive than many of the new joints say at orchard central or wisma japan food town…

at S$35.80 (& i had 10% member’s discounts & another 5% equivalent redeemable points), the chirashi don came with a side, a grilled salmon belly (my daughter chose a niku nabe – pork hotpot), and a coffee/drink…which would cost like $10..

chirashi don set S$35.80

chirashi don had good cuts like chu toro, but this time disappointing, no amaebi but a cooked prawn.

maybe i would go for the cheaper bara chirashi don next time la…

cold crab dish

a very close friend bought birthday dinner for my wife & another friend today on 23.12.2017. ^^

they arranged for 6pax dinner, 3 couples, at silk restaurant, sicc island. 🙂

several dishes i had not tried before…the cold crab was good, firm, sweet, good roe..

chinese ham & cucumbers

the chinese ham & cucumbers appetiser was good.

salted egg fried fish skin

the salted egg deep-fried fish skin good too..

though these 2 starters not really up there in my list..

peking duck

the peking duck here is competent, always good, if not quite kai garden variety…

crispy perch

the crispy perch was among the best dishes.

crispy & light batter, sweet & tender fish , and very nice light thai sweet sauce dip…

i later returned for a dinner with my children & they all loved this crispy perch dish..

braised tofu dish

this braised tofu dish with homemade tofu, golden mushrooms & spinach was ok.

braised tofu dish

the tofu looked impressive but not well infused, so not that tasty.

on my subsequent visit with my children, we ordered this tofu with the minced meat sauce, and that was quite delightful. everyone liked it.

minced duck with cabbage

the complimentary second eat for the duck was a minced duck cabbage wrap.

minced duck with cabbage

it was pretty good, but i liked their shredded duck crispy noodles best.

this time since we had a separate noodle dish, the host arranged for the cabbage wrap.

braised prawn beehoon 鲜虾焖米粉

the last dish of prawns beehoon was quite excellent too. prawns very fresh & sweet, and beehoon well infused with the flavourful stock. the menu item is kuay teow, but the host made an excellent choice of braised beehoon.

we had a great time together, a really wonderful evening. food was good. this friend is very busy, so i meet him twice a year, once during chinese new year & the other time in recent years, when i organised a birthday dinner for him. this year, we met 3 times. ^^

Kai Garden 4pax set lunch menu

it is a top-value 4pax 6-course set lunch menu. ^^

vinegared cloud fungus & mushroom fritters

appetizers consist of vinegared cloud fungus & mushroom fritters

vinegared cloud fungus

cloud fungus was excellent, lightly vinegared with 镇江醋, very fragrant, crunchy & tasty.

this maybe i can try to make myself.

mushroom fritters

the mushroom fritters were very good too. i can probably do this too.

xiaolongbao 小笼包

xiaolongbao 小笼包 was good standard, thin skin, very sweet broth & inlaid meat, and held easily from the thicker top.

dimsum

the deepfried dimsum item was very good too. can’t remember what it was. 🙂

五彩缤纷鸭5 colour peking duck

the star of the show was 五彩缤纷鸭5 colour peking duck, served with 5-colour pancake skin & 5-colour sauce.

normal price was S$88 just for the duck, and i think like S$18 for second eat. so this S$98 6-course deal which included the second eat, was really special deal.

五彩缤纷鸭5 colour peking duck

and they were not just sitting pretty.

the different coloured skin and the sauces were both top material.

五彩缤纷鸭5 colour peking duck

great crispy peking duck skin, made about 20cuts, so we had 5 servings each.

nicely flavoured pancake skin & sauce. one of the best peking ducks anywhere!

garoupa fillet

the garoupa fillet was forgettable.

shredded duck meat noodles

shredded duck meat noodles

the duck noodles were very tasty as well..

osmanthus jelly

i am no fan of osmanthus jelly.

still, it was fragrant, and nicely done. somehow i felt the ones at timhowan shamshuipo hong kong were softer & much better!

birthday cake from swissbake

service here very good. the server who attended to us throughout lunch very experienced, competent & friendly. we had a cake. 3 staff gathered to sing birthday song. ^^

we had a great lunch together – good food, great service & wonderful company…. WEH gave me a hug after lunch. ^^

well as long as they have good-value sets like this here & for dinner as well, i will come again!
