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.

my OPS bro and family bought lunch today at imperial treasure super peking duck at asia towers on 20.10.2020. ^^

so after delivering HCA Hospice Care 25pax homecooked lunch dishes, i drove over to asia square.

this place is famous for its peking duck.

a portion of the crispy skin was served with sugar.

the remaining crispy skin and parts with meat were served with crepe or chinese thin pancake used to wrap the duck paired with julienned cucumber and long sliced spring onions, and a sweet duck sauce (plum sauce and sweet bean sauce).

these serving is similar to minjiang.

pekin duck was very good…for me the best peking duck is by kai gardens, served with 5 color wraps and 5 sauces, but most important of all, a corn cracker added to the wrap which added texture to the dish. 🙂

all other dishes are great, special mention was the roasted pork and the crispy prawn fun cheong. these really are the best!

steamed pork ribs and chicken feet always good, so was the har gao and siew mai…

char siew soh was very good, though i prefer crispy char siew pao.

and they ask restaurant to cut out the drumstick for me. first time i eating peking duck this way. K the son had one drumstick and i shared the other with my OPS bro WM.

very shiok! haha!

very thankful to have such good friends to celebrate for me.

RI bros bought excellent apollo char kuay teow on 14.10.2020. ^^

added cockles add egg.

it was slightly salty, also commented by KH.

I usually low carbs/no carbs. this i enjoyed and finished everything today.

i think hai kee at telok blangah crescent still the best for me.

SCG had the four seasons chendol. it looked really good and he said so too. i didn’t take as the ckt already too much.

i was also interested in the kueh chap stall. will try that if i come again and not taking ckt.

P.S. though i came back with wife another day. we both felt that it was not so good. also it was expensive, add egg S$1 and add cockles S$2 so a S$4 plate was S$7. we tried the four seasons chendol. it was very good!
