Excellent Prix Fixe 3-course Lunch @ Spago on 30Dec2020

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.

OK Above Average Maa Get Laksa on 28Dec2020

sent car to ricky teo workshop @ bukit merah lane 3

weng tong came to fetch me, then fetch chew hwa & we went to maa gei for laksa on 28.12.2020.^^

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..😀

Wonderful 10pax Family Christmas Eve Dinner on 24Dec2020

had a wonderful memorable christmas eve 9pax family dinner on 24.12.2020.^^

SL buddy JW joined us and brought a beautiful, delicious Christmas cake.

wife went to get nice plump oysters from evergreen.

& made stunning, amazing, delicious salad! 🙂

Christmas Eve menu

I made-

  1. oven slow roast prime ribs
  2. peanut herb crusted rack of lamb
  3. ang moh char siew belly pork
  4. slow roast pork collar
  5. pangrilled jumbo prawns
  6. crabmeat pasta

ang mom char siew was perfect..very tender and tasty…

slow roast prime ribs excellent too…for tender and very tasty and flavourful.

the slow roast pork collar was done similarly and just as delicious.

will do recipes for these later.

rack of lamb very good, not gamey and tender and sweet.

pangrilled brandy buttered jumbo prawns could be better, have to cook only when serving, not predone…

crabmeat pasta was al dente and delicious.

PT bought big slab of kagoshima A4 wagyu from food mart…I pan grilled the steak and wife made the onions.

my niece WS bought us 2 trays of cheese and chocolates/tarts.

SL buddy JW baked an excellent Christmas cake, her first time doing it. so beautiful.
