sophia loren

daughter bought dinner @ oso on 28.10.2020.^^

nice decor and ambience..

focaccia bread soft & nice beef carpaccio was good, sweet.

we ordered 3 pastas.

lobster pasta below average..lobster meat not done well, so not the standard of super tender, sweet, fresh delivery…pasta tomato sauce ok average…

sakura ebi tagliolini was tasty flavourful..

squidink risotto was cheesy, tasty ok just not enough squidink flavours…

colour not black enough..did not have the creamy black texture most good pasta restaurants produce..basically like when i did not have enough squidink to cook my pasta or risotto.

belly pork was good serving also steep price at S$35..texture ok flavours good too…

service was good & they offered a slice birthday cake 👍

overall quite average food kind of underwhelming than expected for a good class restaurant like oso.

Delivered Homecooked 重庆烤鱼 Dinner for Brother’s Family on 22Oct2020

重庆烤鱼

deliver homecooked dinner to my brother’s family on 22.10.2020.^^

今天的菜

  1. 重庆烤鱼
  2. 蒜蓉蒸鸡柳
  3. 炒小奶白

first time i tried 重庆烤鱼. ^^

in singapore 重庆烤鱼 usually used seabass.

in china they used mostly snakehead 黑鱼, torsak 鲶鱼 & mandarin fish 桂鱼.

the best 重庆烤鱼i had was at riverside grilled fish @ basement of raffles city. we chose patin, and it was sooooo good! patin is catfish but much nicer than torsak…

i happened to have halibut bought from chinatown so just used that.

will put up a recipe for 重庆烤鱼 later.

Quite Super Peking Duck @ Imperial Treasuer Asia Towers on 20Oct2020

my OPS bro and family bought lunch today at imperial treasure super peking duck at asia towers on 20.10.2020. ^^

so after delivering HCA Hospice Care 25pax homecooked lunch dishes, i drove over to asia square.

this place is famous for its peking duck.

a portion of the crispy skin was served with sugar.

the remaining crispy skin and parts with meat were served with crepe or chinese thin pancake used to wrap the duck paired with julienned cucumber and long sliced spring onions, and a sweet duck sauce (plum sauce and sweet bean sauce).

these serving is similar to minjiang.

pekin duck was very good…for me the best peking duck is by kai gardens, served with 5 color wraps and 5 sauces, but most important of all, a corn cracker added to the wrap which added texture to the dish. 🙂

all other dishes are great, special mention was the roasted pork and the crispy prawn fun cheong. these really are the best!

steamed pork ribs and chicken feet always good, so was the har gao and siew mai…

char siew soh was very good, though i prefer crispy char siew pao.

and they ask restaurant to cut out the drumstick for me. first time i eating peking duck this way. K the son had one drumstick and i shared the other with my OPS bro WM.

very shiok! haha!

very thankful to have such good friends to celebrate for me.
