XO Fish Head  Smile Sep 21, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Coffeeshop | Seafood | Zi Char

 
My 2 other colleagues and I specially went to Holland Village XO Fish Head bee hoon restaurant early on a Saturday evening because we have heard about the crowds during weekends. We secured our seats and made our order quickly. We ordered the XO fish soup as well as a plate of vegetables. The fish is fried and the fish slices are in large chunks which is very generous. The fish is also very fresh with the fish meat being very tender. The fried fish soaked up most of the essence of the soup so it is really very tasty. The soup is very robust and full of flavour. We could not resist drinking up every bit of the soup even though it made us rather thirsty afterwards because it is really that good. Do try the soup with xo as I think there is an option for soups without xo.

Orh Jian Smile Sep 21, 2013

After our meal, I got a plate of fried orh jian for the group of us to share. The omelette is quite crispy and tasty. Actually, orh jian is mostly egg and there are very few oysters. I find that the orh jian here is quite alright, it is not too fleshy as it is small, but the important thing is that it is fresh. The chili is sourish which is perfect because the orh jian is rather oily and having some sourish chili helps in removing the greasy feeling when eating the oyster omelette. I got the $4 portion which has around 6-7 oysters in the dish. While the dish is quite unhealthy, it is alright once in a while, especially if you are sharing it with other people.

Dim Sums Smile Sep 21, 2013

I had lunch with my wife at Taste Paradise a couple of weeks ago. It is a really posh place and we walked in without reservations, so we had to wait around 30 minutes before we can get a table. Luckily, they are quite flexible in that they will get your number and you can walk around and when your table is ready, they will phone you. At Taste Paradise, the must order is the custard pau which comes in a basket of 3 paus. The custard is very savoury and sweet and care must be taken in eating it, if not you will risk wasting all the delicious flowy custard. The pau thickness is just right to contain the custard. This is my favourite item here. We also orderd the siew mai which comes in a basket of 4. The siew mai is rather ordinary, but I like that fresh ingredients are used instead of shirmp/meat paste as filling. I would say most of the items that we had are good, and dining in here is worth the price and wait. The bill came up to around $60 for a total of 8 dim sum items ordered, plus tea.

ibean Smile Sep 20, 2013

A while back, I was at Maxwell for lunch. It is my first time trying out Hong Kong ibean. The ibean logo looks similar to mrbean so I took a second look when I saw the logo at first. On closer look, there are a total of 5 different flavours - original, almond, strawberry, durian and green tea flavours. I ordered the original flavour which costs $1.50. The other flavours cost $2/$2.50 if I am not mistakened. It seems like quite a lot of beancurd stalls are popping up and actually to me, I felt that the taste is about the same, just that the level of sweetness is different for different stalls. I quite enjoyed the beancurd here because I felt it is not as sweet as the chilled beancurd from other beancurd stalls that I had. On a hot day, I think having such dessert is really refreshing and cooling.

Olive fried rice  Smile Sep 20, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Thai

I don't really take spicy and sourish foods so I ordered the olive fried rice (Khao Ob Nam Leab) instead of having tom yum with rice like what my dining companion ordered. The olive fried rice is fried with chicken meat as well as black olives. It is interesting that I do not like eating black olives, but when it is fried together with the rice, somehow the taste is much more appealing and tasty. The grains of rice are all separate and not clumpy and it is very tasty even though it is just rice. The pieces of chicken meat in the rice are also tender and well seasoned, though I would prefer if they add more chicken as I find the portion of chicken to be quite little. For those who love spice, there is also a saucer of chili which you can add to your rice to make it spicier.
