sumin JH bought 4pax lunch @ la tapiera on sunday 18.4.2021.^^

one of our favourite restaurants..

new set lunch menu 1.5 weeks ago..

wife also ordered ham and cheese croquettes alacarte..

grilled octopus still best no change

fried egg escargot new item so so

sumin had black cod new item so so

lisa had bouillabaisse & JH had saffron seafood risotto both very good..

I had grilled lamb leg new item replaced the excellent lamb rump..i specifically asked & manager advised same preparation but customers feedback more tendonous than the lamb rump..

still a good dish, tasty with great sauce & sides but not comparable with the lamb rump

coffee included but we forgot & restaurant did not remind us..

anyway we visiting wenyu & wenyu’s coffee better than restaurants.

son organised great family lunch @ supply & demand lee kong chin centre on 10.4.2021.^^

truffle chips very good, very crisp & tasty

chicken scrambled egg salad competent, good enuf

antipasto very good..almost basilico standard ..salami super flavourful, proscuitto very good, cheese average..

shashouka competent not wife’s standard

spicy pork supposedly thai influence..children liked I didn’t..i think too sweet not good c/w thai style minced pork on crackers

children ordered 2 pasta..

the “bakchormee” ragout pasta ok tasty not quite my preference ..

squidink was good flavourful not the best

the laksa seafood pasta i liked best as well as antipasto this I definitely order nect time.

service lacklustre kind of below par.

CCG came by for lunch on 31.3.2021.^^

made atas australian prime ribs bkt.very good

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…

….CCG could tell right away lol!

made also a small saliva chicken 口水鸡

& meepok tar for CCG top with saliva chicken.

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..

kaya toast ok not as good as

hainan story @ hillion mall

& got to wait long long…not that many customers but very slow..

still will come if in the vicinity for the feel of history…

the S$1 curry puff looks great on display..

but cannot pass leh ..curry not tasty & puff a bit chewy doughy..

kaya toast was great, reminiscence of older times, thick soft bread and nice kaya with butter.

kopi was ok…LCH bought the set which I think like$5.20.
