KH organised birthday lunch for OBT & LCH @ yalong bay serangoon ave 5 on 14.1.2021.^^

food was just average, quite mediocre..

lala behoor was flavourful…

cannot compare with don signature crab version.

prawn paste chicken, salted egg pork chops 排骨王 was average, I guess competent.

white beehoon no wok hae…so so…

the 2 vegetables fried long beans and 青龙菜 quite ok.

overall quite underwhelming, no comparison with

hong kong street old chun kee at commonwealth crescent which is also cheaper.

RI bro bought 4pax lunch at black society today on 6.1.2021. ^^

I think chinese name previously the big boss first time i dine here.

friend ordered a 4pax 7-course set $228 quite ex.. dishes were good..

fish skin was good don’t know price a good starter

roast pork competent ordinary..

roast duck was flavourful & tender 👍

drunken prawns fresh & succulent done well i guess not much else can do with this dish

sharkbone soup was best dish for me..intense, smooth flavours, top standard花胶干贝👍

abalones thick mushrooms broccoli good standard..abalone was tender but sauce taste can improve though..sauce most important in this dish & this sauce is kind of mediocre not tasty enuf

fried rice was good..i asked for chilli they only give 豆瓣chilli..didn’t want to ask xo chilli likely they will charge..

one friend thought the rice was very good & it was..no better than imperial treasure crystal jade or paradise though..

they changed our fish from 笋壳to 星班..they said live fish but cannot change to steam..

i thought deepfried soon hock is better even if star garoupa is supposedly better fish..it turned out they don’t have the small soon hock so got to top up if take large soon hock so we agreed to star garoupa..

after eating i think soon hock better more 脆& better infused with sauce..also can’t tell star garoupa or red garoupa deepfried

snow fungus dessert was good not too sweet & nicely refreshing…

the morning after, we had breakfast @ beach road kitchen on 2.1.2021.^^

the single order items were good – nasi lemak, wantonmee, scrambled eggs

https://goo.gl/maps/7in44Wwd775Smqr19

the other menu dishes left much to be desired.

overall still better than andaz which was bad…

staff were stretched and harassed…so service polite but infrequent.

we had family lunch @ caffe cicheti.

https://goo.gl/maps/SPzWi2r1RHNLbL6cA

wife organised new year day family lunch at caffe cicheti on 1.1.2021.

they did not have usual brunch. got set menu.

we decided to order ala carte.

dishes were all good except oddly, iberico pork, which is below par c/w most places for a dish that cannot go wrong, almost always good.

truffle fries very nice.eggplant with melted cheese really good. So was the cauliflower.

we ordered the recommended tuna tartare on avogado on aoili but never came.

iberico pork had nicely flavoured charring but was overdone a bit dry not tender enuf only failed piece..

well actually the coffee as well..the first order of coffee, magic & flat white undrinkable..but service was good & the lady server redo with good standard coffees. so service was good and friendly despite wrong and missed orders..

we took the 3 recommended pastas..all excellent..

the crabmeat linguine was excellent!

the duck ragout with tube pasta was very good..the sauce was delightful..

the lobster pasta was the best! $98 for a large lobster and large tagliatelle serving ..we shared among 8pax.

actually the crab linguine was just as tasty just more delicate not as strong and intense.

the bouillabaisse seafood stew was good..the prawns and squid rings were average..overcooked actually not fresh tender enuf …the tomato base fish broth and probably vegetables broth was very tasty .

.surprisingly the chicken was very good..another missed order we decided to go ahead with it..the charring & flavours were very good & sauce too.

the dessert with passion fruit was very good too!
