6pax dinner with brother. sil, sis, bil & lisa @ beng thin hoon keenon 28.4.2022.^^

duck salad always so refreshing.

the fishmeal soup or stew here is the best! haven’t had it better anywhere else.

the sea cucumber duck very tasty and delicious…I think I should try doing this…

the salted egg crayfish..S$44 for 3 crayfish, 1/2 each, quite ex…well, it was nice and enjoyable

& I enjoyed the noodles too really delicious!

really good food – $244 net inc 5 龟苓膏 for 6pax.

very enjoyable family dinner!

the red wine belly pork char siew was par excellence

steak was ok for this quality of meat & price, medium rare done quite well..sauce also tasty

salmon with pasta was good

fish & chip mediocre, waffle chips ok I prefer thicker chips soft in middle

hian hai ok with his grilled chicken salted egg pasta

tak meng had seafood poached rice, seems passable

the lunch set $12.80 came with drink or soup..my friends took the mushroom soup..

tap water chargeable S$0.50 quite ok

but we were the only table throughout lunch..quite poor thing..let’s support these local F&B!!

4pax dinner with Sunil & Linda @ 665 deg andaz on 21.4.2022.^^

just returned from a wonderful melbourne/gr4at ocean road/grampian trip. will document that later.

Lisa still on leave today and earlier decided to invite our in-laws Sunil & Linda for dinner.

we took the tasting menu …

we had this before but the A4 kagoshima wagyu was replaced this time with regular tenderloin, a far cry really.

so understandably dinner quite below expectations la.

bread was nice & warm.

amuse bouche was underwhelming.

scallops was tender, sweet, competent.

lobster bisque was usual flavourful and tasty, still good standard.

chilean seabags was good not the best…

tenderloin was like any other…there is just no reference to make with A4 Kagoshima wagyu.

pre dessert and dessert ok…but this tiramisu no comparison with 8picure chef gabriel’s, not even with my own tiramisu la…

I guess basically below expectations and also same food as saline’s wedding at andaz…should have gone somewhere else.

still a nice dinner chat catching up with in-laws and sharing the fun trip we just had.
