#1 (excellent) half suckling pig
my good friends & mei mei arranged a dinner for my wife & i at imperial court restaurant at the grassroots club on 5.11.2015. ^^

6pax suckling pig menu
i have wanted to try the gimtim group of restaurants but have not done yet, so this suited. 🙂
they have a 1/2 suckling pig set for 6. we had 7pax so my friend ordered 2 additional dishes.

#1 (excellent) half suckling pig
the #1 half suckling pig was a large helping. it was much larger than what i had at ah yat & other places like hung kang & summer gardens.
i thought ah yat’s suckling pig was very good but this was equal or better & much bigger portions by comparison.
it was extremely good, very crispy skin & very flavourful, tasty meat. it seemed to be a combination of the 片皮 & 南乳 styles. usually the 片皮 style came with wraps & the 南乳 comes with the meat. my wife & i prefer the 南乳 style.

#2 (quite poor) fish maw soup
the next dish #2 fish maw soup though was quite poor.
no comparison like the fish maw soup at beng thin.

#9 addition sanpei chicken 三杯鸡 dish

#10 additional beef dish
my friend ordered 2 additional dishes=#9 addition sanpei chicken 三杯鸡 dish & #10 additional beef dish.
sanpei chicken 三杯鸡 was so-so, maybe below par. the beef was pretty ok, not the very tenderised chinese style beef which i don’t like.

#3deepfried seabass in thai sauce
the #3 deepfried seabass in thai sauce was very good.

#3 deepfried seabass in thai sauce
the sauce was not the usual thai sweet sauce (best for deep-fried chicken wings) but a bit tangy.

#3 deepfried seabass in thai sauce
a very good fish dish by my reckoning.

#4 abalones with broccoli
the #4 abalones with broccoli dish was the usual good standard, with nice broccoli & mushrooms.

#5 (the best) steamed scallops
i love #5 the steamed scallops. i think they were the best! ^^

#5 (the best) steamed scallops
usually i prefer steamed razor clams to steamed scallops because usually steamed scallops get overdone (i don’t know why?).
these ones were very tender & sweet & tasty. excellent is the word!

#6 nicely done prawns – sauce too sweet
the #6 prawns were nicely done, fresh, tasty & crisp.

#6 nicely done prawns – sauce too sweet
i don’t like the sauce though, just overly sweet.

#7 (very tasty) braised seafood beehoon
the #7 braised seafood beehoon was very tasty.

#7 (very tasty) braised seafood beehoon
& with good ingredients.
reminded me of my own crabless beehoon! 🙂

#8 fruit cocktail dessert with ice shavings
the simple dessert of the day = #8 fruit cocktail dessert with ice shavings was very refreshing.
overall an excellent dinner. i liked the suckling pig & the steamed scallops.
i estimate the dinner to cost about S$350nett, so about S$50nett, 🙂

nice yuzu cheese cake
it was a really fun evening. friend also bought a nice yuzu cheese cake. a truly wonderful time with close friends & great dinner. 🙂
& service was very good. the servers took several photos for us & also went digging up a knife & candles for the cake.
