their helper irene made excellent oven roasted pork ribs and bittergourd fish head ..
that was the best oven baked prime ribs i have taken. KC bought the expensive ribs from huber dempsey, and & trial tested the dish with irene, essence of a good chef…ribs were very meaty and fork tender and because it was very good ribs with good marbling it was not chunky but very tasty..excellent marinade…
the fish head also excellent, very meaty and tasty and flavourful, excellent dish.
plus 2 nice vegetable dishes – prawn chap chye and prawn asparagus.
I contributed a wine chicken dish. 🙂

daughter bought dinner @ oso on 28.10.2020.^^
nice decor and ambience..
focaccia bread soft & nice beef carpaccio was good, sweet.
we ordered 3 pastas.
lobster pasta below average..lobster meat not done well, so not the standard of super tender, sweet, fresh delivery…pasta tomato sauce ok average…
sakura ebi tagliolini was tasty flavourful..
squidink risotto was cheesy, tasty ok just not enough squidink flavours…
colour not black enough..did not have the creamy black texture most good pasta restaurants produce..basically like when i did not have enough squidink to cook my pasta or risotto.
belly pork was good serving also steep price at S$35..texture ok flavours good too…
service was good & they offered a slice birthday cake 👍
overall quite average food kind of underwhelming than expected for a good class restaurant like oso.

deliver homecooked dinner to my brother’s family on 22.10.2020.^^
今天的菜
first time i tried 重庆烤鱼. ^^
in singapore 重庆烤鱼 usually used seabass.
in china they used mostly snakehead 黑鱼, torsak 鲶鱼 & mandarin fish 桂鱼.
the best 重庆烤鱼i had was at riverside grilled fish @ basement of raffles city. we chose patin, and it was sooooo good! patin is catfish but much nicer than torsak…
i happened to have halibut bought from chinatown so just used that.
will put up a recipe for 重庆烤鱼 later.
