had a great 2pax lunch at kaunta today with lisa on 10.2.2021.^^

this place recommended by joel, owned by sushi bar bosshttps://goo.gl/maps/Jqs3EBA6yFMgcSnd9

we had a lunch sushi omakase aoi 8pieces S$60

& the wagyu don S$85.

first time we have aged sushi..most aged 15days some 10days..

i tried 2 pieces ..one was a complimentary smoked salmon very good indeed another aged spider squid..good too.

wife felt the aged sushi were good & unique perhaps not better than fresh sushi.

we both thought kuriya lunch omakase just as good offers better value & more cooked dishes.

I had miyazaki A5 wagyu don with uni, ikura, caviar & black truffle..truffle flavour was excellent..

wagyu very thin slices..the overall taste was excellent..

i think a bit high price but it was good..

may come back for the dinner omakase maybe sometime for lunch when feel like it..

after lunch went to sm’s house & play with grandson lol!

GYS bought lunch at beach road kitchen ..$38pax with jwmarriott card…

a lot of food but so so quality quite mediocre …

best dish for me was the chilli crab…sauce & bun good..crab acceptable quality

the charcuterie platter was ok NOT basilico antipasti quality cured meat & cheese

salad standard fare bread basket better than average the panini was good..

white wine mussels very poorly done overcooked shrunken not fresh succulent…1 of 2 worst dishes…

lobster bisque good standard with lobster pieces NOT 665 deg standard

lobster laksa pasta a disaster – among the worst pasta I had… & lobster was old & overcooked tough & tasteless..not sure this worst dish or the mussels…lol!

the shell pasta was passable better than the lobster which was inedible

tried the truffle pizza way way below par chewy & tough nothing like akira back

chicken was competent better than expected..

yogurt dessert was pretty good like breakfast cereal lol! good for breakfast not sure count as dessert..haha!

so I count 3 good dishes-chilli crab, lobster bisque and chicken…that’s about it!

had a great time with friends..

restaurant was empty just 2 tables…

had excellent 6pax family dinner with brother, SIL & Chuan @ 8picure on 2.2.2021.^^

always enjoyed our meals and good chat with chef gabriel at 8picure.

the dish I like best here is the lobster squid ink pasta. lobster was fresh, sweet, perfect texture and pasta al dente and had really tasty prawn bisque sauce and bits of peppers salsa. very good, love it every time.

this evening we had kumamoto wagyu, almost same as ohmi wagyu but I always partial to ohmi wagyu, and it was quite expensive at S$110++ per serving. we had 2 servings to share.

the other dishes were all great – the cod, Galician octopus very tender, and lamb was excellent. the tagliolini with ama ebi was delicious and the roast pork using spanish duroc was very good too, as always.

& chef gabriel’s tiramisu, the best I had.

my brother, sis and chuan enjoyed the dinner..we had a lovely time together.

WM bought 4pax lunch @ ming tang 重庆烤鱼- with OCH & ZHL on 2.2.2021.^^

excellent 重庆烤鱼 & 凉拌dishes..

very good value for money with eatigo 50% discounts at 11.30am…4pax came to $54.50nett. 🙂

we had the authority of ZHL from ganshu..he said all the 重庆烤鱼restaurants at chinatown too oily and not as tasty. anyway this was really good. 3rd time I been here

we also had the dumplings, 10 pieces 饺子very good!

口水鸡saliva chicken was tasty but not done in the smooth 白斩鸡way which nicer presentation texture and taste.

my own 口水鸡saliva chicken is better (above photo).
