Being one of the invited guest by OpenRice to have a food tasting session at Uncle Leong Seafood restaurant, this is my first time eating over at this place. Finding this place is not difficult as it is within walking distance from Riviera LRT (PE4) station Exit A.To be truthful, Before going for this food tasting (Did some homework), I did tried to find some past reviews on this restaurant but gather some bad reviews giving me a lower expectation of this food tasting session.When I first reache
To be truthful, Before going for this food tasting (Did some homework), I did tried to find some past reviews on this restaurant but gather some bad reviews giving me a lower expectation of this food tasting session.
When I first reached the place, it is quite interesting to find that it is just next to a prawning place (Hai Bin Punggol Prawning) so it would be a nice place for a whole day of activity cum having your meals taken care of when you are there.
Anyway, back to their dishes:
Shimmering Sand Crab - One of the best cooking style I have eaten so far. This is a milky type of cooking style with some added pepper onto it. The crab given is also big in size while the meat itself is very fresh and nice if eaten together with the sauce. Too bad there are no buns during the food taste else, the bun will sure goes very well with the sauce too. (Highly recommended)
Crab Bee Hoon Soup - The milky soup base taste great and when eaten together with their bee hoon, you will just can't get enough of their great taste. I read from other reviews that they allow refilling of their soup and bee hoon (at a cost) so be prepare that you will do the same too. The crab being used here is also very big in size so I have a very good impression of these. (Highly recommended)
Fortune Chicken - The chicken is being boiled together with some herbal allowing the meat to be fused with it. There is a nice ginseng after taste when you drink the soup while the chicken meat is very soft and tender through long hours of cooking. Good job. (Not very nice for those who hate ginseng taste)
Guinness Pork Ribs - The ribs are being mixed and marinated together with Stout beer (I think there are some honey too) together with other ingredients. Meat itself is just nice and it is quite sweet without the stout taste. Nice to goes together with the rice.
'Chye Poh' Fish - Red Garoupa are being used to cook this dish and I am quite impress with the taste of it as there are no fishy taste (Means very fresh) and together with those pre-fried Chye Poh over the fish, the over taste is being enhanced.
Chinese Spinach With Eggs - I am not a vegetable type of person but I can say this dish is nice as I can see my girlfriend eating quite a lot of it.
Signature Deep Fried Beancurd - Beancurd are being mashed to smaller pieces before mixing them together into rectangular shape again and deep frying it to golden crisp. To me, I think this dish is a bit too salty but I hear from some of the food taster that it is nice to eat so I think it depends on your own opinion.
We are given 2 dessert at the end of the course Mainly "Sea coconut with Logan" and "Yam paste" Sea coconut is actually quite normal and refreshing and the Yam paste is nice without those dry after taste feeling.Over all, this is a very good food tasting session as it change my mindset of what other people had reviewed on this restaurant. The services we received are quite nice but too bad they did not provide lime water for washing our hands at the tables (There are washing basin at designated location) and they tried to change our plates only after we had finished our food and are quite full by then. (Would be great if they had changed earlier as our plates are quite messy with all those crabs shell)
Thanks OpenRice and Uncle Leong for this great tasting session
