made & delivered HCA Hospice Care 25pax lunch today on 3.12.2020.^^
curry chicken and pork soft bones are my regular dishes for HCA and very popular with the patients.
for prawns, I tried different sizes of prawns. previous I had smaller prawns I think 81/100..this time larger prawns 41/50. pan grilled gave it a great flavours but even 1 kg prawns is a small dish for 25pax so I used it as a supplement on the vegetable dish.

today my turn to buy 3pax lunch @ la tapiera on 1.12.2020.^^
have not been here for a while.
the excellent set lunch menu still same. I recommended the spanish octopus leg ala plancha and the asparagus.
asparagus was excellent. octopus legs today ok still nice but not done so well slightly tough. my friend went back with family few days later and tried the octopus again. he said this time excellent. 🙂
the lamp rump was still superb, so tender and tasty and excellent salsa and sauce.
a friend ordered the duck. he tried some of my lamb rump & commented duck was ordinary by comparison.
a wonderful lunch & chat with these 2 younger friends.

wife bought 5pax family dinner @ aburiya our favourite yakiniku on 22.11.2020.^^
wonderful yakiniku dinner. my whole family love this place and short of covid restrictions, everyone will reschedule to join in dinner at aburiya lol!
our favourites inc the yukked, a shabu thin sliced raw wagyu beef. can eat as sashimi or many like a quick short grill like 5secs on the fire…
jo kanubi great too… and recently we had the tokachi karubi leaner cut, also the akami lean platter…very flavourful too..
& the sweet corn, cabbage and king oyster mushrooms were quite excellent.
& of course, we always have our kimchi chigae and bibimen (and sometimes bibimbap)…

made dinner for PT parents on 20.11.2020.^^
made teochew home cooked dishes-
PT bought tiramisu.
her parents don’t eat so much.
my braised duck and trotters always good.
pig trotter jelly had the right colour and gelatinous texture, and the taste was good.
I don’t do pomfret much. I think the sauce a bit on the low side.
first time I tried the fishmaw broccoli dish. it was pretty good. wife thought the sauce not enough and not taste enough. I basically use the sauce from braising pork trotters. a bit not enough. so couple hit & miss.

made 1pax baluteh this evening on 15.11.2020.^
sedap, really shiok!
fall out the bones and still with good bite.
definitely as good or better than outside. 🙂
bakuteh so easy to make…just the bkt sachet (I use ilc) and 1 whole bulb of garlic. about 1 hrs 10mins.
key is in picking the ribs.
fresh prime ribs best (I don’t like baby back ribs, and spare ribs no good) – meaty and has layer of marbled fat.
selecting the ribs is key…always pick the thinner end…the thicker end comes with huge piece of loin meat…pay a lot for low quality “chiak bak”.

friend bought 3pax dimsum lunch at madam fan @ nco club south beach on 11nov2020.^^
..dimsum was good standard, comparable with imperial treasure..just more ex lol!:-)
congee was good, tasty, smooth..
truffle dumplings were flavourful, nice truffle flavours, nice overall though one friend found the skin too thick..
radish pasty was crispy, flaky not too thick and sweet..
I prefer crispy char siew pao which they don’t have but this char siew soh is good.
scallop siew mai were good.
crab meat dumplings more like 抄手……
the spicy veg dumplings similar just vegetable filling..
crispy fupeiquin 腐皮卷 was good standard. the 咸水饺was good.
overall very good dimsum but don’t seem to have 潮州粉果…
friend didn’t order not sure got 肠粉or not…
very nice and enjoyable lunch and chat catching up with good friends.
