pomfret soup

first time i made 鲳鱼煲 Claypot Pomfret Soup, inspired by the excellent dish recently at  fragrant garden.

it was very good. soup was very very tasty, flavourful, from lots of fish heads and bones leftover from filleting, and lots of chinese cabbage, and also radish, ginger, garlic, red onions, scallions.

and the 斗鲳 really nice, firm and very sweet.

a super tasty dish! 🙂

claypot tanhoon prawns 

today’s claypot tanhoon prawns also very tasty.

i added good quality haebee and the usual aromatics like coriander, scallions, ginger, red onions etc, and black pepper…

and i had teh same intense chicken stock i also used for the white beehoon.

this evening, texture of tanhoon was perfectly, moist and very well infused with the stock and aromatics. quite perfect!

pangrilled wagyu MBS 6/7 striploin 

wagyu was a good cut, marbled and flavourful not my best rendition though not getting the right temperature and timing with this pan..

still it was very tasty and tender, and quite restaurant standard.

seafood tagliatelle

pasta was al dente and very tasty.

i used the same intense tasty chicken stock made from chicken bones, carrots and aromatics like ginger, red onions, garlic, scallions.

both had white wine reduction, browned whole garlic cloves in olive oil and basil, only that chorizo prawn sauce also had sliced chorizo so another layer of taste. and most appreciated by wife’s friends.

had a great fun dinner with good friends together.

Expensive Mediocre Food even with Eatigo 50% Discounts @ Peach Garden Miramar on 12Jun2019

roast pork

went with wife & sumin to peach garden miramar for 3pax dinner on 12.6.2019..

went peach garden becos there is eatigo 50% discounts..

however, unlike patara and indian curry house the 50% discounts at peach garden is NOT GENUINE!

they marked up the prices eg 1/2 roast duck S$48..peach garden is average food below xin cuisine, tunglok, imperial treasure etc nobody priced 1/2 roast duck S$48!

and server try to push soon hock at S$70/kg after 50% discounts..nobody sells soon hock at S$140/kg..

anyway their restaurant their prerogative..

BASICALLY EATIGO 50% NOT GENUINE!!!

better off with minimum 4pax alacarte buffet S$48pax MON-THURS 50% off which is their regular promotion NOT eatigo..

we ate few dishes no point wasting money here still comes to S$93nett for 3pax..

roast pork

surprisingly the roast pork was good actually..

wasabi prawns

wasabi prawns 

wasabi prawns so so, oily…

yuzu sea perch

steamed sea perch 

soy sauce steamed sea perch good, yuzu sea perch NOT great…

minced pork tofu

fish noodles 

minced pork tofu so so passable

and fish noodles so so not enough wok hae.

S$94 for 3pax 

i think S$94 for the cheap food we had was ridiculous especially with eatigo 50% discounts.

see my later 3pax dinner at xin cuisine just S$82 with top quality food.

roast pork

for this evening, i think only deserve 1 star…

anyway we had good family time together.
