WT a good friend of chef yao, who gave us loads of haebeehiam xo chilli
the appetizer platter good standard, delicious!
cockles and fish head were excellent..fish head in particular very fresh and excellent hk steam 港蒸. I will try making this myself.
crayfish was very good..though wife doesn’t prefer the heavy sambal sauce…
white beehoon so so, actually quite below par..WT & I can do better than this…
duck was tender.. gravy & taste on the heavy side ..not my preference..
claypot liver was ok…

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.

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..
