crispy eel

had a 3rd mother’s day 8pax family dinner @ silk sicc island on 19.5.2018. ^^

i did a first on 12.5.2018, just a simple home hotpot dinner for 3pax inc SL.

then SL bought 5pax tapas dinner at sabio on 13.5.2018.

SM & JH were not available both times so we had again this evening 8pax mother’s day dinner. 🙂

deepfried eggplant

i ordered the crispy eel (S$8) & deepfried eggplants with pork floss (S$6).everyone like the appetisers, more the eggplants as the eel was slightly sweet. for me both were ok, good. 🙂

tea infused roast duck S$52

the tea infused roast duck was excellent. so flavourful & tasty. the best dish this evening & a dish wife & i like a lot here. 🙂

crispy perch in thai sauce

crispy perch in thai sauce 4x$13.90

crispy perch in thai sauce another lovely dish everyone enjoyed.

i ordered 4 portions to share among 8 & the restaurant cut for us before deepfrying with batter so effectively we had 8 pieces, perfect!

a really lovely dish – great batter, a good tasty perch, and a bit tangy thai sauce.

braised belly pork 3x$6

also ordered the braised belly pork. ordered 3 pieces for 8pax, and quite enough.

this a really nice dish – excellent pork, great veg & sauce & buns as well. 🙂

truffle minced pork tofu S$16

i ordered the truffle minced pork tofu, another wonderful dish with very nice deepfried tofu & truffle minced pork sauce.

in fact all the dishes here, except the dessert which was pedestrian, were really great..

claypot frog legs S$24

i ordered a medium claypot frog leg, very good too.

claypot frog legs

tender, delicious & great scallion, ginger sauce.

spinach in 3 eggs

and a spinach in 3 eggs…SL love it, me too, but not particularly wife’s favourite.

braised prawn meepok S$27

braised prawn meepok

i ordered a medium prawn meepok. we usually take beehoon but decided to try meepok as that was the original menu dish

the braise was very tasty as usual. meepok was done well, al dente ie qq & not mushy. still beehoon infused/absorbed the braise far better so beehoon still the better dish.

guilinggao 龟苓膏

i ordered 6 dessert, a guilinggao 龟苓膏 & 5 bowls of mango sago…very average dessert.

dinner for 8pax was about S$290, quite ok & very good food that all enjoyed.
