Recently I have visited this restaurant for a meal with a group of friends.  To cater to the late night crowd, the restaurant opens till 2am during weekdays (Sunday to Thursday) and 3am during weekends (Friday, Saturday and Eve of Public Holidays). The restaurant offers Thai Chinese cuisine which was slightly different from the usual Thai fares offered in most restaurants around and more like a cross between Thai cuisine and Teochew cuisine.Royal Thai Seafood Porridge 皇室海鲜粥 (S$38.80++/ 2 pax)Came with Prawns, Flower Clams, Mussels, Squid, and Red Grouper Fillet.Served with flower crab 花蟹 in spicy Tom Yum Red broth. One could choose soft shell crab instead too.Add a Lobster 龙虾 (S$16++) to make it a more luxurious version.It  was the hot favourite for the meal. It was teochew style porridge with rice in soup. We like this so much, that we added on more ingredients such as vegetables from the Mookata set to this dish to simmer. Remember  to add in more broth before the pot got dried up.Royal Thai Fish Head Hot Pot 皇室香芋鱼头爐 (S$38.80++/ 2 pax)Fish Head in non-spicy Yam Fish broth. There's also spicy broth choices such as Tom Yum Red and Tom Yum Clear.Packed with Mussels, Enoki Mushroom, Tau Kee (Beancurd Skin), Flower Clam, Deep Fried Egg Tofu, Yam and Round Cabbage.The  fish head was served chopped into pieces, with chunky meat and not too boney. The broth was flavourful with melt in the mouth bites of yam.Royal Thai Mookata 皇室燒肉火锅 (S$38.80++/ 2 pax)It was exclusively available at The Seletar Mall outlet.Packed  with ingredients such as Tiger Prawn, Mussel, Flower Clam, Luncheon Meat, Squid, Pork Collar, Chicken Slice, Crab Stick, Chicken Chipolata ,  Shimeji Mushroom, Enoki Mushroom, Xiao Bai Cai, Long Cabbage, Glass Noodle, Kang Kong and Raw Egg.Don't forget to finish the meal with a  packet of Instant Noodle (S$2.90++).

Recently I had visited this zhi char stall which was located in a coffee shop in the industrial park area in the neighbourhood. The place could be easily reached by taking bus service 811 from the bus interchange or at the bus stop after the MRT station.Besides the usual dishes in most zhi char stalls, the restaurant also offered a number of unconventional dishes.Pattaya Style Grilled Pork 芭提雅烤肉 (S$12/18/24)Pan seared pork shoulder, served with green mango dressing and homemade Thai green chilli sauce.Imagine bak kwa with sweet tangy Thai chilli sauce. Accompanied with thai style mango salad to balance the meat.Steamed Emerald Fish  Head 翡翠蒸鱼头 (S$28)Seasonal item, not on regular menu. Served topped with pickled green chillies but it was not spicy at all. But if one was a fan of garlic or ginger, you will sure like this dish a lot which brought out these flavours very well on the firm moist meat of the fish.Crispy Crackly Egg  阿发鸡蛋(S$8/12/16)Deep fried egg with basilDoused in sweet soy and topped with crispy golden mushroom.We thought it was Tahu Telor when served. One was surprised  to find egg  yolk lava flowing when cutting it open. Addictive crispy with different textures from the egg and the mushroom. One of the favourite dishes.Homemade Tofu with Preserved Turnip 菜脯豆腐 (S$10/15/20)Deep fried homemade soy tofu topped with crispy preserved turnip.Instead of the commonly found salty preserved turnip, the crunchy turnip used here had a kind of sweet taste. Adding flavours to the dish.Claypot Hua Diao Chicken  三杯鸡 (S$12/18/24)Wok fried chicken  leg with Chinese rice wine, basil  in spicy sweet sticky sauceThis was the favourite dish of the meal. The meat was very tender and moist, while covered with a thin caramelized layer, which made one thought it was some other meat at first bite.  Not overpowered by the marinate and basil.Szechuan Style Braised Eggplant  鱼香茄子煲 (SS$ 10/15/20)Wok fried eggplant  with garlic, shallots and minced pork.Best with a bowl of plain rice because it's so intense in flavours.Apple  Champagne  Pork Ribs 苹果香槟排骨 (S$14)Seasonal item, not on regular menu.Interesting serving the tender pork ribs 排骨王 with a scoop of ice cream  on top.If you felt the location is a bit too out for you, the restaurant does offers delivery too.…Read More

Attended Chef Ian Kittichai X Chef Thitid Tassanakajohn of Le Du from Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭, 4 Hands CollaborationAt Tangerine @ Espa In Resorts World Sentosa in Resorts World Sentosa from 11 April 2019, 7pmChapter IISavour’s 100Gourmet April Edition6 Course Dinner (S$180++/ public, S$110++/ Singtel & Maybank customers)Although we arrived early, there was a hiccup as the staff could not my reservation. But soon we were showed to a table.Spring onion & coriander breadThe bread was served top of a flower pot with pesto sauce in it. The bread was buttery soft.Seared ScallopChef Ian KittichaiTangerine’s garden herbs, cashew nut milk-pepper dressingInspired by the herbs grown in Tangerine’s garden with a lightly seared diver scallop, house-made Thai cashew nut milk and a touch of Thai chiliServed in a shell, decorated with colorful flowers, it was simply to pretty to be eaten. The scallop was so juicy.Cured FlukeAvocado, green mango & gingerChef Thitid TassanakajohnThis dish is inspired by the Thai people’s favourite green sauce , affectionately called “nam jim seafood “. However, he wanted to do it differently, in a modern and artisanal way incorporating avocado, a fruit many people don’t know can grow in large quantities back in Thailand. The flavour is rich and intense but not overpowering the delicate fluke.First time having cured fish in thai style. The cured fish looked more sashimi then cured.Sustainable Sea Bass SoupChef Ian KittichaiTurmeric, Coconut - galangal brothAs humble as it sounds, this dish incorporates delicious local sustainable sea bass with local herbs in a Southern Thai-style dish.Milky soup which was more on the sour side. Interesting serving it from a teapot packed with lemongrass.Lobster in Signature Southern Style CurryChef Thitid TassanakajohSmoked pumpkin & signature Chu-Chee curryPaying homage to his favourite Southern Thai curry! It is traditionally a very spicy dish. He gave it his own twist with smoked pumpkin puree added for an additional layer of flavour and to balance out the heat of the curry.The sweetness from the pumpkin and the spiciness of the curry striked a balance in between.“Hunglay” Iberico PorkChef Ian KittichaiTamarind, pickled garlicThis dish is an interpretation of Chef’s love affair with the classic Northern Thai curryCooked 3 hours. The sauce was spicy but grew with a lingering aftertaste.Served with eggplant 🍆, pumpkin purée and pickled ginger. The curry was very rich. Yummy with just rice. The meat was flavourful although would prefer it to be more tender.Mango Panna CottaChef Thitid TassanakajohnSmoked coconut ice creamWhen speaking about Thai food, who can leave out the popular Thai dessert, Mango Sticky rice! This dessert follows a similar concept, but without the sticky rice. A lighter version, but still possessing the essence of the perennial favourite in every bite.Interestingly the crispy rice provided a kind of savoury kick to the sweet and slightly tart mango 🥭 pudding. The smoky ice cream was quite unique in taste. Overall the food was totally different from the usual Thai food. Only that the serving portion was kind of small. The first 3 dishes were served pretty fast and smooth but the wait for the last 3 dishes were quite long. Maybe it was the first night and the kitchen staffs were not familiar with the place.…Read More

Went for dinner during weekday as there was a promotion where every order of main course came with a choice of side and drink/dessert.Flossperity Pizza (S$22.80++)Arugula, Pork Floss, Bak KwaOne of the 3 items in the Chinese New Year menu.Although it was served in a tomato base pizza, one could not taste the usual sour tomato paste's taste in it. It was a more sweeter taste similar to raspberry. The savoury sweet pork jerky and savoury pork floss balanced the bitterness of the arugula quite well.For choice of side, I have selected Grilled Chicken Salad which was grilled chicken served on a bed of mesclun salad.End the meal with Baked Caramel Banana which was served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fruit. Water was served free of charge. Do come early. Queue could be quite long even on weekday nites.…Read More

There was both indoor air con and outdoor alfresco dining by the river. As the weather was extremely hot, most preferred the cool indoor. The menu was in a newsletter style and quite worn out. Although there was a queue, it moved quite fast. There was free wifi with password written at the cashier counter which I did not notice until I make payment.Kagoshima-Style Braised Pork Cartilage in Fish Soup with Mixian 鹿兒島豬軟骨米線 (S$8.50++)The soft bones were very soft and the meat was well braised and fork tender.

Not too sweet without any powdery texture which was usually found in almond drink in cafe.…Read More

The place was packed for lunch during Saturday. I decided on the omakase lunch which was consisted of 7 courses (S$97++). My only request was the dessert not to be the restaurant's signature Wild Rocket Chendol which I just had a couple of weeks ago. Ice water was served after placing order.Course 1 : Bah Chor MeeNegitoro (minced fatty tuna) topped with chopped spring onion and chilli padi, crispy lards, fried shallots, on top of a bed of warm glass noodles.Course 2 : Thai Pomelo SaladServed with tiger prawns & frozen coconut dressingThe dressing was like a scoop of ice cream and made of coconut, chilli, fish oil, and shallot. It tasted quite lemak. Having it with mint leaf, pomelo, and cilantro, it tasted quite refreshing with hint of spicy and sweetness of fruit. Course 3 : Chilli CrabCrab cake made of blue crab and spanner crab, served with chilli crab sauce.The crab cake was packed with nothing but crab meat. Quite juicy and yummy on its own.Course 4 : Hokkien MeeFresh pasta cooked with prawn stock, and hae ko (black shrimp paste). It was quite flavourful but a bit too salty for me.Course 5 : Wild Rocket Strawberry CheesecakeIt served deconstructed style in a Martini glass. Creamy without too sweet or sour.I was surprised that I was served dessert before my main. I later asked the staff who thought I already had it. In the end I went through what I had with 2 different staffs and decided that there was 2 more courses.Course 6 : Black vinegar iberico pork jowl with pickled cabbage and chestnut pureeThe meat was quite tender and pulled out easily. Quite appetizing with the pickled vegetables.Course 7 : Lychee sorbet with lychee martini gummyThe sorbet was topped with ginger flower and blue pea flower. Interesting flavours of the light lychee and the slightly stronger ginger flower. Quite refreshing.Overall the food was not bad but was a tab upset about my course of dishes being overlooked. By the way as the place was full house, it was quite noisy too.…Read More
