Superb HK Steamed Soon Hock Fish Head @ East Bistro My Village on 24Feb2021

wai mun bought 4pax lunch @ east bistro

dimsum maybe about ah yat standard….not imperial treasure standard..

crispy char siew pao ok tasty but a bit soft..抄手was good..

cheong fun was very smooth & sauce tasty..the best dimsum item of the 3

roast pork was good not near the best..

口水鸡ok..i think my own much better lookwise and taste lol!

泡饭with crispy rice tasty soup no ingredients…a ok complementary dish to other dishes not really my favourite..

港蒸笋壳soon hock fish head was very good..very fresh, fish very fine 幼& sweet with tasty sauce..the best dish..

but very ex though at $88 for 1/2 fish head…this price doesn’t make sense to me…can get whole 800g soon hock equally fine 幼at ah eat grandstand at 1/2 the price…

coconut 炖蛋dessert quite nice worth trying $10 each we shared by 2..not quite my favourite dessert..

WM got indisputable reason to buy lunch so cannot fight with him lol!

Fine Dining Hotel Banquet Food Tasting @ South Beach Marriott Banquet on 23Feb2021

son had a 8pax food tasting at south beach marriott for the family on 23.2.2021.^^

food was fine and delicious! 🙂

must say it was well above expectation for hotel banquet food. very good standard indeed.

appetiser trio was good. wasabi mayo was light 7 the nicely glazed prawn looked and tasted great, not likely the 粗dishes in places like peach garden and ban heng…

deep-fried softshell crab a bit heavily fried, nice flavours also with thai basil.

tomato infused with Japanese plum sauce was delightful…

sea cucumber soup was a nice consommé lightly sweet清…

steamed halibut was fine dish, tender, sweet & great soya sauce 港蒸flavours…

the braised 8-head abalone not the best, I had much better abalone texture and also the brown sauce in other places.

roast chicken was a pleasant surprise..tender chicken with a nice sambal-dish sauce, very good and fine dish for a roast chicken, which often mediocre dish at many places …

the passionfruit pudding was like a nice panna cotta and quite refreshing…many thought it was too milky so son decided this an dish he will replace…

overall quite excellent fine dining dishes, better than expected from a hotel banquet…

Home Valentine 2pax Dinner for Wife on 14Feb2021

made 2pax valentine day dinner on 14.2.2021.^^

this a yearly tradition…2020 edition here. 🙂

  1. crabmeat chawanmushi
  2. flamed miso glazed jumbo prawns
  3. crabmeat donburi with prawns, scallops, miso salmon belly

this year not as good as 2020.

my chawanmushi texture not right…my recipe was doing for 5-6pax…the adjustments not enough for 2pax..so a bit viscous…

flamed jumbo prawn could be better.

donburi though was good, flavourful and the miso salmon belly seared scallops were great! 🙂

Very Good Lunch Omakase @ Kaunta on 10Feb2021

had a great 2pax lunch at kaunta today with lisa on 10.2.2021.^^

this place recommended by joel, owned by sushi bar bosshttps://goo.gl/maps/Jqs3EBA6yFMgcSnd9

we had a lunch sushi omakase aoi 8pieces S$60

& the wagyu don S$85.

first time we have aged sushi..most aged 15days some 10days..

i tried 2 pieces ..one was a complimentary smoked salmon very good indeed another aged spider squid..good too.

wife felt the aged sushi were good & unique perhaps not better than fresh sushi.

we both thought kuriya lunch omakase just as good offers better value & more cooked dishes.

I had miyazaki A5 wagyu don with uni, ikura, caviar & black truffle..truffle flavour was excellent..

wagyu very thin slices..the overall taste was excellent..

i think a bit high price but it was good..

may come back for the dinner omakase maybe sometime for lunch when feel like it..

after lunch went to sm’s house & play with grandson lol!
