​甘牌燒鵝 Kam’s Roast Goose @Wan Chai, Hong Kong

2016-12-10 14.35.55This was a really tiny restaurant that could probably sit about 40 customers, so it was no surprise that the queue outside was really quite long. Perhaps it was also not a surprise that there were many Singaporeans in the queue, either waiting for seats or taking out… haha!

We got ourselves a queue ticket just before 2pm, and figured that we should probably grab a bite elsewhere first, before coming back to wait for our turn. And we remembered seeing 檀島咖啡餅店 Honolulu Coffee Shop on our way walking here… 🙂

We managed to enter the restaurant at 3:10pm, and that was because quite a few others who decided not to wait after all.

Pluck @Ann Siang Hill

2016-11-30 20.57.05

Chope had a 1-for-1 deal, and so we ended up here for dinner 🙂

Seated at the counter, we had a great view of the chefs in action. We wanted to try so many things, but our waistlines had been expanding… *ouch*

Anyway, we still ate a lot, haha 😛

  • Tuna Tartare ($20++): This was rather addictive, with well balanced flavours and very fresh tuna. The papadum was very crispy and went well with the tuna.
  • Soft Shell Crab ($20++): We liked the crunchy batter, but the saltiness overpowered the Thai green curry flavour.
  • Assam pork ribs ($22++): The pork ribs were very tender and delicious!
  • Tom yum cereal salmon ($22++): Our favourite item, the salmon was oven-baked to perfection, almost melting in our mouths. Gosh.. salivating just thinking about it 😀
  • 10° vermicelli ($2++): This was quite refreshing, not bad at all.

​云海肴亭云幸福馆 Yun Hai Yao @Haidian District, Beijing

2016-10-25-14-03-42After a delightful morning at 颐和园 Summer Palace, we exited through it’s East Exit and took a short stroll to a nearby Yunnan restaurant for a late lunch.

This is a restaurant chain specialising in Yunnan cuisine with 18 outlets over China (mostly in Beijing).

This year happened to be the restaurant’s 7th anniversary, so we opted for the Anniversary Set at ¥177 (usual price ¥210), which consisted of 黑松露牛肝菌焖牛蛙 Braised Bull Frog with Bolete and Black Truffle, 原味汽锅鸡 Steam Pot Chicken, 鸡丝凉米线 Cold Rice Noodles with Shredded Chicken, 盖菜炒山药 Sauteéd Leaf Mustard with Chinese Yam.

​Peperoni Pizzeria @ Upper Thomson

2016-10-18-20-56-20A new pizza joint has appeared in Upper Thomson after Crust Pizza closed. Hubby was most excited to try out this place!

  • Rosticciana ($28 nett): This was a rather small rack of oven-roasted, herb-marinated baby back ribs (5 ribs), served with leafy salad and wedges. The wedges were not bad. While the baby ribs were quite tender with a sweet glaze, there was a rather overpowering pork smell that made this dish less than satisfactory.
  • Salmone ($19 for 9 inches): Fresh salmon, caramelised onions & capers as toppings, we enjoyed the thin-crust pizza very much!

I suspect we will be back here again to try out the rest of the pizza flavours 🙂

Lokkee @Plaza Singapura

2016-10-10-13-50-51There was a special 25% discount off Lokkee’s ala-carte menu today, special thanks to Nathan Hartono and his excellent performance in Sing! China.

Lokkee is TungLok Group’s latest F&B venture offering global Chinese cuisine.

The restaurant is a witty and cheeky play on favourite Chinese recipes which have been given a unique tweak to include a dash of Western influence.

The interior of the restaurant is very contemporary but the tables were too close to each other and waiters had a hard time maneuvering their way.

NOW Noodles+ @Square 2

2016-09-28-19-32-43A relatively new restaurant in Square 2 with a simple menu (5 noodles options all priced at $9.80), we had tried the Mee Tai Mak and Heng Hwa Noodle Soup. Sides were $2.80, and we had the Chicken Mid Wings.

We had read many good stuff about the Mee Tai Mak, aka Lao Shu Fen (because it resembles rat tails). Stir-fried with their signature rempah, with minced prawns, pork, fishcake, mushrooms, eggs, and century egg, it was pretty good, but not “wow” for us. Despite the flavours, somehow something felt missing.

Served with chicken drumstick, egg, lily flower, black fungus, snow peas, bak choy, and fried shallots, we could definitely taste the ginger in the clear broth of the Heng Hwa Noodles (mee sua), but it was also slightly on the sweet side. It was also the only soup option here. Not bad if you prefer something lighter for a meal.

The four pieces of half mid-wings had good batter, and was juicy and tender; we liked it!

redpan @Marina Square

2016-09-05-20-00-31Since we had only shared a bowl of tendon earlier, we figured we could check out redpan on the same day too, since it was a fairly short walk from Suntec City to Marina Square.

A brainchild of DP Architects x GRUB, redpan serves interesting dishes paired with local flavours, and we had a hard time deciding which ones to try. We ended up with:

  • Grilled Kingfish Collar ($19++): We usually eat our stingray with chinchalok chilli, and were pleased that this chilli went well with the Kingfish Collar that was grilled to perfection. With crisp skin and tender flesh, this was super addictive!
  • Beef Short Rib ‘Satay’ ($32++): The beef short rib came with satay sauce, pickled cucumber & onions, and it was oh-so-tender!
  • Lychee Earl Grey Iced Tea ($5++): We could definitely taste the lychee, but less so of the earl grey flavour. Still a refreshing drink though!

We were served by a lovely staff today, and service was excellent! It was a great dinner to end our evening 🙂

​Tempura Kohaku 天ぷら琥珀 @Eat At Seven, Suntec City

2016-09-05-17-35-52This is one of the recent restaurants to open at Eat At Seven (Enbu, Nikunohi etc.) in Suntec.

We attempted to come here during dinner time previously, but the queue was simply too long.

This time, we arrived before 5.30pm and walked into a mostly empty restaurant. Yippee!!!!

We shared a Kohaku Tendon ($15++) and opted for the non-spicy version. It was way better than the expensive one we had at Wisma Atria!

We especially enjoyed the juicy and tender chicken breast, and the squid piece. Other items included prawn, crab stick, baby corn, pumpkin, mushroom and long beans. The rice was pretty fluffy and fragrant too, and they were not over zealous with the sauce.

In terms of value-for-money, hubby still preferred his favourite Tendon Ginza Itsuki with the onsen egg…

PeraMakan @Keppel Club

2016-09-05-12-49-45Keppel Club certainly brought back much memories for us 🙂

From VivoCity, we took a 30-minute stroll into Keppel Club… It was a fairly long walk in!

Since we had already tried Peony Jade a couple of times before, we wanted to check out PeraMakan this time.

Being a Monday, it was a really quiet day, and we had seats by the windows.

We enjoyed each dish, and like that the flavours were very balanced, without being overly spicy or sweet. We also liked the crackers that was served as appetiser.

Sabio By The Sea @Quayside Isle, Sentosa Cove

Since we were hardly in this area, we figured that we should check out the far end of Sentosa too!
