joel bought 3pax lunch @ spago today on 30.12.2020^^

https://goo.gl/maps/RN7pTsQ46aFWCYkV8

location at MBS skypark level 57, change lift at L55.

a bit inconvenient becos covid regulated access.parked at the shoppes carpark B4M..circle B3 carpark full went down to B4… decided not to circle just turn down to B4M..quite lost but apparently that is a convenient parking.

easy access to lift lobby from B4M took lift up to B1 & walked over to hotel side.

bread basket, french butter & seaweed butter good.

the big eye tuna tartar cone was very good.

I didn’t try the chicken laksa spring rolls must be good too.

my burrata was very good, smooth, mild sweet flavours excellent texture with san daniel prosciutto & confit kamquat

mains were all good.the angus beef burger very nicely done..very tasty, nice patty & brioche..tasty aged cheddar & onions

miso broiled king salmon was one of the best i tasted, very moist and tender, not the very chunky meat texture..served on hoba leaf? ..

my own grilled iberico presa was excellent too..done medium..it’s one of the 3 special cuts..with nice caramelised fuji apples complement..

the strawberry panna cotta was excellent too a bit like a light deconstructed strawberry cheesecake.

excellent lunch & great time with friends.

my googlemap review=https://goo.gl/maps/7PqxMGmscN1hvLnP8

laksa gravy not the very lemak type, more savoury..

added hum (cockles) were good…

chilli was good i added all from the spoon..

overall ok above average for me…

i think compare savoury type gravy tanglin halt weiyi laksa better ..

my preference still sungei road lemak laksa..

all cannot c/w with my own pong’s laksa &

none of them even pong’s laksa comparable to curry chicken noodles..Just personal preference..

went with wife to foodie mart @ eng hoon street on 9.12.2020.^^

shared a S$7 tiong bahru yong tau foo.

I don’t take yongtaufoo much. I like this stall and also ikan bills ytf at chinatown fc.

pretty good. the yong tau hu itself ok good standard but nothing special.

ytf well fried. great taste and soup was good too.

in a sense the ytf we bought from chinatown market basement stall just as good or even better more selections/choices

a good, light meal, especially when shared. lol!

today my turn to buy 3pax lunch @ la tapiera on 1.12.2020.^^

have not been here for a while.

the excellent set lunch menu still same. I recommended the spanish octopus leg ala plancha and the asparagus.

asparagus was excellent. octopus legs today ok still nice but not done so well slightly tough. my friend went back with family few days later and tried the octopus again. he said this time excellent. 🙂

the lamp rump was still superb, so tender and tasty and excellent salsa and sauce.

a friend ordered the duck. he tried some of my lamb rump & commented duck was ordinary by comparison.

a wonderful lunch & chat with these 2 younger friends.

wonderful yakiniku dinner. my whole family love this place and short of covid restrictions, everyone will reschedule to join in dinner at aburiya lol!

our favourites inc the yukked, a shabu thin sliced raw wagyu beef. can eat as sashimi or many like a quick short grill like 5secs on the fire…

jo kanubi great too… and recently we had the tokachi karubi leaner cut, also the akami lean platter…very flavourful too..

& the sweet corn, cabbage and king oyster mushrooms were quite excellent.

& of course, we always have our kimchi chigae and bibimen (and sometimes bibimbap)…

very enjoyable evening and good food with family.

..dimsum was good standard, comparable with imperial treasure..just more ex lol!:-)

congee was good, tasty, smooth..

truffle dumplings were flavourful, nice truffle flavours, nice overall though one friend found the skin too thick..

radish pasty was crispy, flaky not too thick and sweet..

I prefer crispy char siew pao which they don’t have but this char siew soh is good.

scallop siew mai were good.

crab meat dumplings more like 抄手……

the spicy veg dumplings similar just vegetable filling..

crispy fupeiquin 腐皮卷 was good standard. the 咸水饺was good.

overall very good dimsum but don’t seem to have 潮州粉果…

friend didn’t order not sure got 肠粉or not…

very nice and enjoyable lunch and chat catching up with good friends.
