not that great actually..

roast duck same style about 店小二standard..not as good as JB..& not as good as xin cuisine & silk restaurant slightly different style..

char siew mediocre not as good as imperial treasure or even chef kang

sweet & sour soup below average..酸菜鱼 ok* ..poached red garoupa slices very fresh & great, soup a tad sour, salty, spicy, not the best ..

chilled lala clams* appetising,

duck cone temaki quite nice with roast duck sauce added ourselves & crispy cone nice..

duck beehoon very tasty, string beans very good too.

overall 3-4 I guess and expensive…

for me xin cuisine much better quality standard

delivered dinner to brother family on 15.7.2021.^^

made-

  1. 白斩鸡 1 kampung chicken + chicken rice
  2. 烧肉 roast pork
  3. stirfried kailan

kampung chicken very good, smooth and tender and sweet, homemade chilli was good always, and the sauce was perfect.

made mistake on 烧肉temp..

should be oven @130degC 2hrs then 20mins 250degC I put lower temp had to rescue so 40mins 250degC

tested the skin was crackling but still not blistered…meat was ok not overcooked because wide square slab and sides covered with aluminium foil, but would have been even better otherwise….

children ordered prawn noodles from prawn house at Ghim oh today.

I took some from wife. it was good!

decided to try 1pax prawn mee tar myself👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻using spaghetti & beehoon lol!🤣 on 11.7.2021.^^

almost as good.

I don’t make prawn noodles as jessie made it so well and I got invited often lol!

& usually got to make large quantity fry and boil lots of prawn heads and shells for stock etc…lay cheh la!

today I use what I have…didn’t expect much.

no yellow noodles no problem la use spaghetti.

good thing I still have excellent large prawns..

just cook spaghetti, and beehoon separately..very small portion for me..:-)

did my usual mee tar…1/2 tsp fish sauce, 1tsp oyster sauce, 2tsp black vinegar, 1tsp tomato sauce, lots 1tbsp+ crispy prawn chilli, 1tbsp oil….

boil 4 large prawns deveined in chicken stock…

& it was very good, almost excellent!

best thing was the soup basically a very tasty prawn stock soup..of course very important very little soup (reduced)..and because the prawn heads and tomalley, very very tasty..

shiok la!^^

  • atas aussie prime ribs bkt

made 3pax lunch with LCH & beng san on 7.7.2021.^^

  1. aussie prime rib bkt
  2. 1/2 kampung chicken 白斩鸡
  3. stirfried Chinese cabbage

beng san brought fruits – jackfruit cherry & pears.

CCG was unable to join cos taking of urgent family matter.

today bkt was excellent…perfect texture, bite and taste!

easy to overcook this tender meat… today I cooked 40mins instead usual 1hr for Indonesian prime ribs.

Cold Storage had special discounts at S$26.90/kg for the aussie prime ribs (usual S$38/kg once S$40/kg)…

c/w Sheng Shiong S$22.90/kg Indonesia prime ribs which have huge long bone plus useless huge loin meat (not always possible to pick the smaller ends), this far better quality prime rib is also more worthwhile…I usually buy even at S$38/kg!

1/2 kampung chicken 白斩鸡 perfect too. tender, moist sweet, and I served with ginger sauce, homemade chilli and dark sauce.

& chicken rice very flavourful…

chinese cabbage was just whatever I had left in the fridge. lol!

we chatted quite long after lunch…had a great time with RI bros today…
