went back to Peking Room cofffeshop & ate kuay teow tng again with beng san on 24.12.2021.^^

his birthday today!

very nice kl style noodles

took the $3.50 mixed pork kuay teow really nice & lots of ingredients – mixed pork, sliced pork, pork balls, pig liver, pig heart, small intestines

and the soup is so tasty from the pork sweetness

will try the fry yellow noodles next time

ordered the $5 pork trotters not on menu quite mediocre, texture ok, sauce quite tasty.

wife bought 2pax dinner @ sichuan douhua UOB Plaza on 17.12.2021 ^^

https://goo.gl/maps/ndnYybxGWh4vfXr59

food was good standard

best dish for us was 蒜泥白肉, perfect texture of poached thin belly slices no porky taste & excellent sauce marinade

soup was very good too if not better than other places

the seafood crispy puff rice 锅巴had great ingredients- 3 huge prawns 3 scallops & several sliced fish ..this style of preparation not my favourite though..thin gluey very sweet soup ..I prefer tasty stock …& everything including vegetables seem to be soaked with sugar..

the Korean stone pot beef great caramelised onions & good taste but beef was totally tenderised super artificial

the vegetable basket was good standard

the hasma was a big serving

wife took my puer lady cocktail and it was 1 for 1 so she took another old fashion (with coconut and 八宝茶)

very good dinner though the 2 main dishes not quite our palate..will order other dishes next time

tired of jade food, decided to walk to Raffles City for dinner.

stopped by Esplanade & decided to try jiak modern tze char on 29.11.2021.^^

ordered the small $22 crayfish squidink beehoon which came with a free side dish..we picked minced chicken eggplants

not expecting much so very pleasantly surprised..

the beehoon squidink flavours superb ..very good indeed…& again surprisingly 3 large crayfish so 6 halves! and very fresh bouncy sweet..an excellent dish by any standard!!

the complimentary side dish minced chicken eggplant was good standard too..

excellent meal for 2pax for $22++

had great set lunch @ stellar at one altitude on 29.11.2021.^^

the view if course to die for!

& food was excellent!

the sour dough butter & EVO were good..

the amuse bouche was great..I think I can make this like a nicely garlic flavoured mash somewhat less viscous like gazpacho

the smoked duck salad was good dish but a bit let down as we asked server if it was prepared by restaurant..he said yes..it tasted artificial just like the ready made ones ..perhaps that is the method of preparation..I will try to do this see if different result

every table was feasting on the tiger prawns capellini..

it was really good, with a very flavourful cheesy taste to the angelhair..I will try to make this soon..

the tiger prawns were done well..nothing special though..I do that all the time & aunty bes can do too..

the iberico pork collar was another excellent dish..including the pak Choy sides..

dessert was good standard, and restaurant offered a complimentary chocolate mousse cake for special event.

red garoupa was below par, chunky not 滑basically old 老

lobster noodles was ok..noodles on the softer side but ok …taste ok not the best..lobster also a bit old not bouncy and sweet tasting as other places

dessert a sherbert with champagne jelly ok

good dinner not outstanding..
