super tasty red garoupa fishhead steamboat

organiser of this month’s RI G20 dinner selected whampoa keng fishhead steamboat. ^^

it’s a place i wanted to try but never did. it seems it was the same with the organiser as he was overseas when a group of friends went & sent him nice photos. i told him 1 of the pluses of G20 was we get try places we somehow didn’t get to go ourselves.

3 of us decided to go early for a cuppa at the wheeler’s yard. i took flat white. strong coffee with very smooth frothed milk. i liked it.

great ambience & lovely coffee (apparently food not so good & the cakes looked unappealing)

i went early at 5.45pm & managed to get free parking on the road on jalan ampas next to the tai pei old people’s home. 🙂

Whampoa Keng Fish Head Steamboat

after our cuppa, we drove over to whampoa keng fishhead steamboat. i parked at ah hood gardens (HDB) along ah hood road (lots of parking) & got to the restaurant before 7pm.

Whampoa Keng Fish Head Steamboat

restaurant was plastered with photos of the owner, his wives & staff & the more famous patrons. 🙂

pig trotters lagi shiok!

our friend the organiser ordered a S$288set for 10, and changed some dishes.

the signature braised pig trotters replaced the salted egg sotong.

pig trotters lagi shiok!

excellent call! this pig trotters lagi shiok! the best of texture not overly soft & mushy & tender meat falling of the bones. my friend liked the star anise flavours. for me that was just slightly over.

super tasty red garoupa fishhead steamboat

the best undeniably was the fish head steamboat. my friend ordered the red garoupa.

super tasty red garoupa fishhead steamboat

this really a supremely good tasting fishhead steamboat! ^^

the murky soup was such intense goodness. 🙂

& the refills were also not just water or light tasting soup, but almost the same intense stock. i guess the same stock minus the additional taste from the steamboat content.

super tasty red garoupa fishhead steamboat

not sure if it was just the head or a whole fish but it came with lots of meat too.

super tasty red garoupa fishhead steamboat

i think i must go round trying out fishhead steamboat liao! 🙂

stir-fried brocoli with scallops in XO sauce

the stir-fried brocoli with scallops in XO sauce was a pretty nice dish. there was a good serving of scallops.

stir-fried brocoli with scallops in XO sauce

& there was also something that tasted like the cheaper canned shellfish. a friend thought it was gluten but i felt that the texture was shellfish. not sure.

salted egg prawns

my friend changed the prawns in the set to their signature salted egg prawns.

salted egg prawns

it was a good competent dish, looked nice & tasted good too.

salted egg prawns

i guess it was nothing special just a standard dish in any zi char or restaurant.

fried tofu dish

we had a tofu dish. it was apparently a seafood sauce & the tofu was made by blending egg with silken tofu, or so according to other reviewers.

fried tofu dish

didn’t leave an impression with me.

i think the tofu dish at kok sen & also at muliangzai liang kee were a lot tastier.

pork ribs with deep-fried cod strips

the pork ribs with deep-fried cod strips was another signature dish.

pork ribs with deep-fried cod strips

it was competent but like any 排骨王, it’s a passable dish not my favourite.

crispy boneless chicken 金龙鸡

the crispy boneless chicken 金龙鸡 was another signature dish.

a friend thought it was too processed. i totally agree! i think i like the “not favourite” pork ribs better than this.

crispy boneless chicken 金龙鸡

crispy skin was there, but the sweet, moist, flavourful taste of a roast chicken was gone!

alas! i like my roast chicken at 6th avenue coffeeshop better leh!

we had too many dishes liao so did not get to try their 2 other signature dishes – the prawn paste chicken & the hae chor (teochew ngoh hiang). apparently those were quite good.

vegetarian tofu dish

the no. 11 friend is a lacto vegetarian (dairy no egg). he could only joined after 8.30pm.

vegetarian tofu dish

my friend ordered a tofu dish (we didn’t know it was egg tofu).

stir-fried shanghai greens

plus a shanghai green.

anyway he did not take much & we ended up finishing off the egg tofu & the greens.

the dinner was S$33pax, a little more expensive than the usual zi char stalls like-

• keng eng kee
• two chefs
• kok sen

but quite fair price for the food (i would say better food, maybe except for kok sen), especially the alluring fishhead steamboat!^^

bakuteh

bakuteh is like a dish anyone can make anytime. ^^

bakuteh spices

there are innumerable bakuteh spices in the supermarts.

i use the cheapest ilc brand S$1.50 for 20g spices packet.

bakuteh

this suited the 600g pork ribs i was cooking. for 1kg i use the larger 30g packet.

frozen spanish baby ribs

the last time i used indonesia fresh pork from sheng shiong, price around S$19/kg to S$21/kg.

this time though i am just using frozen spanish baby ribs from QBFood. 🙂

water + garlic + spice packet

bakuteh

bakuteh

bakuteh

for the preparation-

1. add a bulb garlic & the spice packet (20g) to 1.5l water & boil
2. cut defrosted baby ribs (about 600g)
3. scald with boiling water to remove scum
4. clean pork ribs under running cold water & add to pot
5. boil on low fire for 40mins (50mins or longer if you prefer meat falling off the bones)
6. & voila!

meat comes off bone easily

at 40mins or so, meat should come easily of the bone.

personally i prefer the meat texture to be firm with some bite, rather than completely soft & falling off the bones.

also unless you finish all in one go, you may reheat the bakuteh 1 or more times, so i prefer the ribs not to be overly cooked & soft.

bakuteh

& btw, the soup was just delicious!

i did not add any salt, fish sauce & light soy sauce as it was salty enough for me. also no need to add pepper seeds. it is already peppery & just right, not overly!

the pork ribs were not as good as the fresh indonesian prime ribs from sheng shiong which were more marbled & tasted better,

but they were still very good, and with the excellent tasting soup, this home brewed bakuteh was as good as most bakuteh outside except the few very good ones.

bakuteh

one of my friend regularly brings bakuteh spices to cook while traveling overseas. it is easy to get ribs from the supermart & do up a delectable soupy comfort food goodness at a rented airbnb apartment. 🙂

this may not be exactly fine gourmet, but with a bit of plating, it looks good enough to be served as a course meal. for me anyway haha!

steamed sea perch

had a lovely 6-course set menu at min jiang on 13.10.2015.^^

min jiang 6-course menu S$68pax

price was ok, as the food turned out pretty good. we had 5pax. 🙂

min jiang @ goodwood park hotel

there were fe customers at lunch.

edamame

we skipped tea (normal chinese tea S$3pax no harm to have if need), just had complimentary water.

the edamame was nice.

edamame

they charged S$1pax so that was ok.

醉鸡，咸蛋虾，蒜泥白肉

we selected 醉鸡，咸蛋虾，蒜泥白肉 from the choice of appetizers.

actually it was a friend’s belated birthday, but since she was w/o her reading glasses (haha!), i read out for her veto… 🙂

醉鸡，咸蛋虾，蒜泥白肉

drunken chicken very good standard.

i think 1 friend said the prawn was very good. this a common item in chinese restaurants, i did not find it particularly special.

the 蒜泥白肉 minced garlic pork was good i guess, but i didn’t find it special too.

better look but not better tasting c/w my own  蒜泥白肉 though slightly different style.

crabmeat fishmaw soup 蟹肉花胶羹

the crabmeat fishmaw soup 蟹肉花胶羹 was excellent! really tasty soup.

crabmeat fishmaw soup 蟹肉花胶羹

it was a good serving, though the 花胶was not a whole piece but chopped up.

the key to a good soup is the stock base, and this one was par excellence!

tea camphor duck

the tea camphor duck was also very flavourful.

tea camphor duck

excellent duck, though the wrap was so-so.

tea camphor duck

skin was so crispy & flavourful. and the duck was very tender & moist. one of the best!

may not be better than the equally wonderful tasting tea infused roast duck at xin cuisine i had recently on 1.10.2015.

steamed sea perch

the sea perch was also excellent! ^^

texture & taste almost like cod.

dried scallop seafood stonepot rice

we wanted to order some 锅巴dish. the server recommended this popular dried scallop seafood stonepot rice so we had that instead.

dried scallop seafood stonepot rice

it was good! very flavourful & chokeful of ingredients.

mango sago杨支甘露

the mango sago杨支甘露 was refreshing, good dessert to have though it was just average.

mango sago杨支甘露

our birthday girl makes a better one actually. haha!

overall, a very good set. the ingredients may not be a good as some of the special promotion set at majestic or tunglok or at xin cuisine, but the cooking was very fine & delivered great tasting dishes.

• best 6-course lobster set at tunglok signature
• chinese fine dining set at xin cuisine

the only horrendous thing was that i paid S$22.50 for parking & my friend S$20, no carpark redemption. never ever going to park at goodwood park!

ah heng curry chicken noodles S$6.50

Never tired of curry chicken noodle! ^^

last time i succumbed to curry chicken cravings on 31.3.2015? eh..more likely i makan but did not blog…

but this time had good excuse. had 11am e-appointment at singtel comcentre to get iPhone 6s.

went early at 10.45am but my queue number estimate was 45mins.

do what at comcentre 45mins? might as well drive out before 10mins parking grace period for a quickie (of the curry chicken kind!)

& i manage to tapao 2 packets some more. .so btw smart move! 

ah heng curry chicken noodles S$6.50

luckily curry chicken noodles were good!

ah heng curry chicken noodles S$6.50

price creeping up now large = S$6.50.

well its 1/3 to 1/2 the price of a ramen & infinitely more enjoyable, so just a matter of perspective! anyhow, a cure for the frustrations at singtel.

my own curry chicken noodles

i actually tried making my own curry chicken noodles, not too bad (above photo) but it was not so easy.

my own poached chicken 白斩鸡

my own poached chicken 白斩鸡 is certainly as good. the curry gravy though pretty good as well is still not quite comparable.

so! cannot complain about S$6.50!

prawns + yabbies

went with a friend, who is an accomplished peranakan home chef himself, to ellenborough market cafe for lunch today on 8.10.2015. ^^

this my second time here this year, after a hiatus of probably 8 or 10 years. never get to use the FAR (feed at raffles) 50% vouchers for many years at this or other FAR restaurants either.

ellenborough markets cafe

ellenborough markets cafe

ambience was pretty nice. friend who is more familiar with this place thought it’s usually quite packed & was surprised that it wasn’t.

appetizer section

there was a cold appetizer section with prawns, yabbies, mussels.

prawns + yabbies

prawns was good, i guess quite standard.

yabbies

yabbies nice to look at & admire. as we know, not much meat & also meat is rougher than prawns, not as fine & sweet.

salad section

there was a salad section, soup & bread.

there were 2 soup – a chinese lie tong type, pork ribs i think & a cream of tomato with basil. i wasn’t too interested so did not take photos.

lady fingers – salad section

i tried the lady fingers. pretty ok.

prawn mushroom salad

the prawn mushrooms. ok too.

salmon sashimi

there was only salmon sashimi & some maki sushi.

sashimi, cold appetiser & salad

i started with sashimi, cold appetiser & salad.

salmon sashimi

didn’t look particularly great, but the salmon sashimi was quite excellent. fresh & sweet & i like the oily belly cuts. ^^

kueh pie tee (top hats)

friend made 6 kueh pie tee (you have to add the ingredients onto the hat yourself).

kueh pie tee (top hats)

they were nice, good standard.

ramen noodles..this really nice!

i think the chinese ramen was the bestest dish!^^

chef ramen live demo

ramen chef made a live demo, whacking the marble top with the flour noodles.

chef ramen

freshly made & rather thick.

but it was super nice! excellent texture, wholesome taste, a super broth to rival any tonkotsu & very tasty meatballs.

babi pongteh

i liked the babi pongteh too. just perfect texture & so flavourful.

ayam buah keluak

liked the chicken too.

ayam buah keluak

very nice curry, some very fragrant galangal taste & ginger fibre texture.

hk steamed garoupa

hk steamed garoupa

the hong kong steamed garoupa was also very well done.

plateful of food

plateful of food

problem with buffet – you take a tiny morsel here, and there & your plate & stomach are full.

sea cucumber duck

the sea sumcumber duck was also very good.

second helping of sea cucumber duck

duck was very tender, very lightly & nicely flavoured. i had a second helping.

second helping of babi pongteh & ayam

did too for the babi pongteh & ayam buah keluak.

fruits

din take the fruits nor the ahborling (sesame dumplings) & most other dessert.

durian pengat

basically took some durian pengat.

durian pengat

they were very good.

durian pengat

i generally not keen on main courses on food warmers in buffet, so usually go for semi buffet where the main course is an ala carte order like at one ninety @ four seasons hotel or equinox or basilico, like a fine dining main course.

so in other buffets like the edge or carousel or olive tree (all i mostly don’t really like) or 10 at claymore with ala carte buffet items (which i like), i go for the appetizer & skips most of the main course.

here at EMC, there is very little appetizer to talk about (say c/w one ninety or equinox), and the main courses did not look all that great. fortunately they tasted quite well, though they were robust dishes, and rightly so for peranakan dishes. it’s the grandma comfort food sorts.

i guess the best thing was the price. at S$38pax for weekday lunch & 50% off for FAR discounts, it was just S$19++pax, nothing to complain about, and the best thing was that the dishes were really quite good.

& the great ambience, good company & conversation. 🙂

24 plates for 7pax

a good friend organised a 9pax lunch at ye shanghai teochew muay today on 7.10.2015. ^^

the stall is located at kim san leng (金山领 in teochew) coffeeshop at bukit merah view. 🙂

my last visit here=like it everytime teochew muay!

there were 9 of us. 1 came late due to work after we had finished lunch so he took cha kway teow for himself. another tried the teochew muay but it was not his cup of tea so he went to get a dry fishball noodles for himself.

we ordered a total of 24 plates (generally 2 plates for each dish) for the 7pax. ^^

cost was S$68.80, so about S$10 each. i think it was rather expensive reference the usual prices here but it was a very enjoyable lunch & everyone was happy & satisfied with the food & of course the great company! 🙂

ye shangha teochew porride

we were there around 11.30am. the proprietor helped us placed a larger table top & arranged a table big enuf for 9pax. 🙂

we started queueing for the food when everyone arrived, i figured about 1150am, and one friend said we waited about 20mins in a 8pax queue (did not feel that long to me). it became quite a long L-shaped queue maybe about 15+pax round about 12.30pm.

24 plates for 7pax

we ordered a total of 24 plates, mostly 2 plates for each dish. the proprietor said we over ordered (maybe that’s why a bit more than the usual say about S$7pax). looking at the empty plates afterwards, we certainly did not share her sentiments.

the dishes = salted fish minced pork balls 咸鱼饼，kong bak/pig skin, tau kee, chicken feet, brinjal (best!), bittergurd, spinach, cabbage, long beans, sotong, 1 rabbit fish, 1 selar fish, chilli shark meat, there about… ^^

the dishes

we filled up the serving/sauce table.

风扫落叶

& what is too much? 风扫落叶 debris after the hurricane. 🙂

but this time we did not add any dishes. so it was quite enuf.

was really good fun. getting together & enjoying the food. ^^

S$5 roast chicken rice @ 6th avenue

had a nice roast chicken rice (+ roast pork) at the stall at kopitown coffeeshop 10E 6th avenue. ^^

wife had some evening appointment & children were eating out. 🙂

roast chicken rice @ 6th avenue

this a stall i like though i don’t eat chicken rice outside that often. it is next to Sunny fishball noodles (which i like too!). & 2 stalls from the roti prata stall.

S$5 roast chicken rice @ 6th avenue

i do chicken rice chicken白斩鸡 very well now, so i usually take roast chicken outside since that i cannot do.

S$5 roast chicken rice @ 6th avenue

the roast chicken is very flavourful, nice roast taste, meat was moist & tender, and rice too was excellent!

i added S$1 roast pork so the meal was S$5. roast pork was good too, may not be better than other similar stalls, but again roast pork is something i cannot do myself.

a simple S$5 meal, but i enjoyed it very much. now i want to ta pao 1/2chicken liao! ^^

#2 uni & botan ebi in japanese corn veloute

wife bought omakase dinner at hachi 0n 18.9.2015. ^^

this was the best omakase/kaiseki dinner i had. it was better than most of the excellent kaiseki i had in japan ryokans, including a very good kaiseki dinner at roppongi many years back. 🙂

i have to look back to my tohoku trip in 2010, where we had several very good kaiseki dinners at notably Yamayurinoyado Ryokan in Hanamaki (花卷) & ryokan new komatsu @ matsushima (松岛) for equally good or better kaiseki.

best omakase dinner with Lisa @ Hachi Restaurant

this evening there were only 3 tables including ours. the servers said it is often quite full though.

omakase menu

it’s omakase – a chef’s table.

still, quite useful to have a kaiseki menu.

#1 pork wine infused foie gras terrine

#1 we had pork wine infused foie gras terrine.

#1 pork wine infused foie gras terrine

a good start. very tasty, and putting on all the right expectations. ^^

#2 uni & botan ebi in japanese corn veloute

#2 the uni & botan ebi in japanese corn veloute was simply fabulous.

#2 uni & botan ebi in japanese corn veloute

don’t know if it is fusion, generally just take uni & botan ebi as sashimi. this was a superb combination of taste, the very sweet uni & botan ebi, in a wonderful japanese corn broth with all the flower decorations. 🙂

#3 crab chawanmushi

#3 the hokkaido kani (crab) chawanmushi was the tastiest chawanmushi i had.

#3 crab chawanmushi

so sweet, so beautiful! 🙂

#3 crab chawanmushi

quite a memorable dish. motivated me to go back & make a chawanmushi myself. 🙂

#4 oyster sashimi with vinaigrette jelly?

#4 the oyster was large & plump & sweet.

#4 oyster sashimi with vinaigrette jelly?

looked pretty too. i slurped it in with most of the jelly. 🙂

#5 sashimi moriawase = chutoro, sawara (spanish mackerel), kinmedai 金目鯛(golden eye snapper), katsuo (tuna), sanma

#5 sashimi moriawase were top quality – chutoro, sawara (spanish mackerel), kinmedai 金目鯛(golden eye snapper), katsuo (tuna), sanma. ^^

#5 sashimi moriawase = chutoro, sawara (spanish mackerel), kinmedai 金目鯛(golden eye snapper)

chutoro was very good, but i must say the chutoro in mikuni’s matsutake special bento set some days later was one of the best i had.

#5 sashimi moriawase = kinmedai 金目鯛(golden eye snapper) katsuo (tuna), sanma

the sawara (spanish mackerel), kinmedai 金目鯛(golden eye snapper) were all very good.

#5 sashimi moriawase = kinmedai 金目鯛(golden eye snapper),katsuo (tuna)

the katsuo (tuna) & sanma were pretty ok.

#6 awabi (really tender superb abalone)

#6 the braised awabi was really tender, superb abalone dish!^^

#6 awabi (really tender superb abalone)

i took it with the liver dip & the sea salt separately, all very good. 🙂

#6 awabi (really tender superb abalone)

they really braised it very well, as well as the very good chinese braised abalones.

#7 ikura don with toasted sesami – nano size but really excellent!

#7 the ikura don with toasted sesami was a very small serving of rice with quite a bit of ikura.

#7 ikura don with toasted sesami – nano size but really excellent!

all together really excellent!

#8 hamo (conger pike eel) shabu shabu

#8 the best dish (among every best dish) though was the hamo (conger pike eel) shabu shabu, together with the A5 ohmi wagyu that was served next.

#8 hamo (conger pike eel) shabu shabu

the soup was just so tasty.

#8 hamo (conger pike eel) shabu shabu

there were chinese cabbage & pine mushrooms.

#9 palate cleanser – pineapple & ginger sauce

#9 next we had a palate cleanser – pineapple & ginger sauce.

#9 palate cleanser – pineapple & ginger sauce

pineapple was sweet. the sauce was sourish & very appetising. 🙂

#10 – yakimono = ohmi A5 wagyu & sanma

#10 the ohmi A5 wagyu in the yakimono was just incredible, so marbled, melt-in-the-mouth!^^

#10 – yakimono = ohmi A5 wagyu & sanma

superb A5 ohmi wagyu. 🙂

#10 – yakimono = rolled sanma & egg plant

the bamboo sheet & the rolled sanma & eggplant were very good also i guess.

#10 – yakimono = rolled sanma & egg plant

but they were quite heavy going & lost in the process of so much excellent food! 🙂

#11 – nigiri sushi – chutoro, shiro ebi, uni & akamatsu

#11 nigiri sushi was again tops!

#11 – nigiri sushi – chutoro, shiro ebi, uni

chutoro, and especially shiro ebi & uni were fantastic. 🙂

#11 – nigiri sushi – chutoro, shiro ebi

just incredible sushi.

#11 – nigiri sushi – akamatsu

the akamatsu was supposed to be more fatty & marbled. maybe i still not used to the taste & it was marbled, but somehow did not feel wowed by it. 🙂

#12 – dessert = black beans yuzu jelly, japanese pear, red beans ice cream

#12 dessert were black beans yuzu jelly, japanese pear, red beans ice cream.

#12 – dessert = japanese pear

pear was pretty ok, sweet, not sweet like japanese rock melon i guess, haha!

#12 – dessert = black beans yuzu jelly

i always liked japanese black beans, the yuzu jelly was pretty refreshing too.

this one of the few dinners that i felt really wowed! ^^

S$3 meepok tar at xinlu 新路

went to pick up something.

dropped by xin lu (新路) teochew fish ball noodles (formerly from margaret drive) at mei chin road food centre for a S$3 meepok tar on 18.9.2015. ^^

last time i did a post was 2 years ago on 3sep2015 when i came here with my son. time flies!

S$3 meepok tar at xinlu 新路

i ordered my usual S$3 meepok tar, less noodles (面少)。

fishballs- S$3 meepok tar at xinlu 新路

& it came with 5 tasty, bouncy fishballs. the texture is one of the best.

S$3 meepok tar at xinlu 新路

because i ordered less noodles (面少), i get 1 more fishball. well, it’s inconsistent, depends on who is serving. sometimes i get, sometimes i don’t. not that i am too bothered.

the meepok texture was excellent, QQ. and the chilli also consistently good.

anyhow, by comparison, this is a lot better than the-

very poor one (noodles quite unpalatable with the heavy mix of sweet sauce) at food opera @ ion orchard, and also the

below par toa payoh lor 7 teochew fishball noodles (noodles a let down, not QQ!) at food republic @ lido.

and xin lu (新路) only S$3. these other 2 cost S$5!

chicken rendang

went to my good friend’s dental clinic at central on 16.9.2015.

after that god-sis led the 3 of us to kopi roti central for lunch. ^^

chicken rendang

god-sis went to get the food. i had the chicken rendang. it came with sayur lodeh & egg, for S$5.

it was a very good meal!

rendang was very good & reasonable helping size. both the egg & sayur also good. $5 is not cheaper nor more expensive than say a economic rice at coffeeshop. important thing is that it was tasty, a very nice wholesome & balanced meal for S$5. 🙂

curry chicken

my dental surgeon friend had the curry chicken. looked great too!

nasi lemak

god-sis had the nasi lemak. came with chicken wing, egg, nuts & ikan bilis & otah.

nasi lemak

i think the price of the curry chicken was also S$5, and likely the nasi lemak too.

there was laksa, but from the wall photo it didn’t appear to come with cockles.

i will try some of these dishes next time. i would say for S$5 it was as good as my favourite adam road nasi lemak (adam’s nasi lemak & selara rasa nasi lemak) kind of meal! ^^

#8 thai red curry vegetables

the thai red curry vegetables was a variation of my thai red curry sotong (squid).

i served that (red curry sotong) for the 30+pax lunch party for my daughter last month.

#8 thai red curry vegetables

i just replaced the sotong by vegetables. i had potato, egg plant, onions, yellow pepper, tomato.

“dancing chef” thai red curry

when i was looking for the right curries to make my thai yellow curry grilled chicken thighs & bought the “dancing chef yellow curry”, i also bought the thai red curry. 

for the curry, i fried 1 sliced yellow onions with 2tbsp red curry powder & 100ml coconut milk. when the onions softened. i added a cut yellow pepper (i did not have red pepper). since it was a vegetarian dish, i added about 300ml of vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. i added cut eggplants & then cherry tomatoes last.

this is a really nice lemak, tasty dish, & spicy too, spicier than the yellow curry.

i served it at a recent 10-course vegetarian dinner for 8pax for my niece’s birthday. everyone liked it.

for me, a non vegetarian, it was no comparison with the red curry sotong of course but still an excellenty flavoured curry dish which i enjoyed thoroughly. ^^
