I find it quite worthwhile to buy Aussie prime ribs at S$32/kg..this slab 9 pieces about 700g S$21+…
c/w sheng shiong indonesian prime ribs S$21.90/kg but with huge piece of useless loin meat also 8 ribs per kg thereabout and loin meat chunky and not nice…
I added 2 frozen brazilian ribs S$10/kg from chinatown wet market to add to near 1kg for the 30g ilc sachet to give enuf meat taste to the soup…
LKY organised food tour starting with kopi you at yeap seng leong..on 30.3.2021.^^
this place kind of Singapore heritage worth a visit just for its history and memories.
YSL moved here from Victoria street, bugis since 1974..& according to the son now 58, the old man (his father) cycles everyday fro boon Keng here at 4am and open shop at 5am!
locals & foreigners alike come here looking for kopi you (slab pf butter in kopi)and toasted roasted on charcoal…
but my kopi tilok not strong enough & not that flavourful..
J bought 3pax lunch @ the masses on beach road on 25.3.2021.^^
I came after delivering HCA Hospice Care lunch..

food was good
set lunch

CCCC pasta
duck confit
yellow spring chicken
claypot angus beef cheek
duck confit
claypot angus beef cheek
crab pietee just $3 for 3, good loads of sweet crabmeat..
we took the $29++pax set lunch, which include coffee or tea…
the CCCC crabmeat chorizo caviar confit lemon with lobster sauce looks stunning tasted just good ok
turns out the purple cabbage stood out more..tasted great & equally stunning looks..
I seldom take duck confit, did today & it was better than most..skin crispy and meat was moist and tender and tasty..some I had previously meat was sinewy and old…& quite surprisingly the horfun that came with it wokhae really good
YS’s chicken was good too, quite tender, though there was the end piece he started with which he said tough
for me, J’s claypot angus beef cheek was best of 3..tender & tasty.
chef dylan ong has a great philosophy 众 as 3 人 – himself, his team and customers…let see how the masses develops…
had birthday lunch celebrations for my OPS bro WM @ basilico on 24.3.2021. ^^
this the beat value set lunch in town la!
3-course at S$65pax with 50% discounts for 2pax with amex love dining so S$32.50pax ++
antipasto was fabulous with good quality meats-ham, prosciutto, salami, and smoked salmon,,scallop on shell, excellent burrata, cheese and grilled vegetables.
I can keep eating this.
and the tagliata di manzo medium rare was excellent, tasty, tender, juicy..
we shared the cheese platter and dessert platter. 4 cheese included blue, brie etc…really good, and dessert was great too.
just 3 weeks ago the set lunch included coffee…now it no longer…
they provided slice of birthday cake, so server decided to offer us complimentary coffee. I had piccolo latter.
Mabel bought 6pax OPS early birthday celebration for WM @ leong ji on 22.3.2021.^^
not sure why but didn’t refuse the treat…lol!
rojak Kang kong good every time.
birth intestines ordered medium this time double the serving from last.. I liked just as much but not everyone take this dish.
tried assam fish head ok competent.
避风塘fried chicken was tasty, LH fedback to them so this time not too salty, pretty tasty dish chicken not dry…beancurd was homemade type pretty good too.
worst dish was the yeemeen…they really can’t do yeemeen here..this was poorer than the chicken feet last time..at least the chicken feet was tasty then.
mabel bought a chateraise birthday cake as well for WM birthday…
after lunch WM WT mabel & me went back to WM place
we all had a swell time, thanks to mabel and WM for having his birthday! lol!
we decided to go nearby old airport road for chendol @ ice.
the worst ever service in any singapore restaurant!
& starting with the manager, so the service attitude and training of the few staff was really atrocious!
the food is mediocre about 3, and service is 0..
the manager was rude and unhelpful..
.we asked if there is a physical menu as some restaurants have both..he was dismissive and said restaurant no physical menu ..
we said we scan QR but not quite sure which is the brunch alacarte buffet menu..he was unhelpful to say the least..
not even basic cheery, attentive help one gets from every server at imperial treasure fine teochew ion orchard or even ah yat grandstand..actually from any restaurants we been to…
& the bad service attitude and lack of training pervades to the other younger servers..
the young guy who took our orders was impatient we asked simple help on how large the servings and dimsum pieces and how much we should order..& which are the popular dimsum..
these are really basic questions and assistance servers in almost all eating places we go to will answer cheerfully and even warm & enthusiastically but not here..
food wise dimsum was ok not bad just mediocre about ah yat & peach garden standard at 2 to 3times the prices ..these are places we tried but don’t eat dimsum at..
& no comparison at all with imperial treasure fine teochew ion orchard or crystal jade or paradise dynasty…
cooked food were worse than dimsum…
the 迷你佛跳墙 and abalones broccoli quite good are the 2 better dishes, still maybe just average…the Chinese style beef cubes a failure no comparison with silk restaurant at sicc island and assam fish & smoked duck salad mediocre.
