Briased wild boar meat Smile Jun 23, 2011

Braised wild boar meat

Braised wild boar meat

 
Dad recommended me to this stall, and he queued for this plate of wild boar meat. Are we allow to sell this kinda meat in Singapore food centre? I am not sure.

I remembered when I was young, about 20 over years ago, we have wild boar meat, and when it was banned, I tried that at Batam. I managed to have this plate of wild boar last year and it was great, the texture was soft and the meat was like melt in your mouth! smile

You will see alot of eldery uncles ordering this plate of meat and they go with their beer in this food centre.

Not so delicious... Cry Oct 29, 2011

Categories : American | Fast Food | Chinese Soup | Burgers and Sandwiches | Salads/ Acai Bowl

I had the chicken and mushroom wrap, the chicken and mushroom were average, the lettuces in the wrap are not fresh at all, it felt dry, as if they were exposed to air for a while. The mushroom soup was still alright. The other beef sandwich we ordered was not good as well. It just doesn’t taste freshly made. The thai beef salad was average as well. Overall, it was not a good experience and I will definitely not be back again.

Peppery chicken & beef Cry Jul 15, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Sichuan | Restaurant | Steamboat/Hot Pot | Kids-Friendly

This individual pot of dish attracted us to try this restaurant. We ordered one chicken and one beef. The gravy or sauce used for both chicken and beef are similar, I would think it is the same. The sauce is "peppery" and abit to the spicy taste. The beef was disappointing, they were hard and difficult to chew. The chicken is still acceptable. I do not like the taste and will not come back again. However, my hubby had been asking me to go back to eat again... that's why we always say every individual has its own taste preferences.

I had been to this buffet for a few times and was not tired of the buffet spread, the main reason is I can't get to finish all the different types of food offered. I will normally start the buffet with the fresh oysters which are opened on the spot by chefs. The oysters are fresh, the salmon, tuna, swordfish ashimi are just normal to me. However, the sushi are excellent. There are many varieties of sushi and they all taste yummy. The chefs will make over the counters and we can see the open concept kitchen for all dish counters.

For the last few times that I went, I always get to see Koreans having their meals there, they seem to enjoy the Korean food very much. There is a Korean food section where grilled food and the Korean side dishes are being offered. There is even Ginseng tempura!

Another special thing to mention is the grilled meat section, where you can just pick the type of meat and let the chef grilled them for you. The grilled mushroom was scrumptious, I had never had that before! (see photo attached)

I also like the laksa, and I will eat it with the snow crab leg meat. The crayfish cooked in chiili crab kind of gravy was the most popular dish over there, every time it is dished out, in a few minutes, they will be gone! They taste so great! There are many other dishes that I could not be able to list all here, even the beverage section has a lot of variety, and I prefer the hot green tea.

One thing to note, all the few times I go, I will end up having slight diarrhea after the meals… hence be careful of the food you eat there… this might just be a coincidence.

Not meeting my expectation OK Jun 24, 2011

Categories : American | Steaks and Grills

The restaurant had been there for years and it was my family's 1st time there for sis-in-law's birthday. My sis-in-law had been there before and recommended us over as she had tried big oysters there then. However we didn't get to have as big oysters as she had previously. Meaning - standard dropped. sad

Frankly speaking, I will not be back for the food, as the oysters were not great, the steak was also not as good as Jack's place's. Hence I rather go to Jack's place's to have steak. The calamari we ordered was good.

I would only go back if it is for the ambience and if I had no better steak options at that area.
