Fish Head Curry OK Jun 08, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Seafood

This is the only Seafood Paradise outlet that is open throughout the day including the mid afternoon from 3-6pm which is usually the rest time for staff of Chinese restaurants.Probably because Changi Airport requires its tenants to operate throughout the day including public holidays like the first two days of Chinese New Year. Good for people who wake up late or have morning activities that end late, so they dont do lunch till 3pm or later.

Fish head curry served in a claypot is one of Seafood Paradise's signature dishes, available during lunch hours only. At the Airport's T2 branch this means the dish can be ordered anytime up to 5pm. Assam curry fish head has been taken off the menu, leaving only the regular lemak curry fish head. Price has gone up to $28++ per casserole, which is now served without the table top stove that was used in the past to keep our curry simmering away and kept it steaming hot throughout our meal.

 
The curry contains half of a market fresh 'ikan merah' fish head which is cooked to the restaurant's secret 'nonya style' in-house recipe. The curry gravy is rich, spicy, hearty - perfect with piping hot plain rice or with their mantou ($2.80++ per basket of four pieces). This is a perfect one dish meal as the curry contains eggplant, okra and dried beancurd puffs or 'taupok'. This time around the quantity of veggies has shrunk and a new ingredient added to the curry - deep fried dried beancurd sticks or 'tau kee'. IMO they should have stuck to the original recipe. The deepfried tau kee added lots of oil to the curry gravy making it ultra sinful and way too greasy - look at the copious layer of red oil floating on top of the casserole.

While we were at the restaurant during the off peak hour of 3-4pm with few customers and no shortage of foreign born staff, service was inattentive. Soiled plates were not replaced and empty glasses were not topped up even though there were a few waitresses hovering around our table discreetly chatting among themselves.

Price for the fish head has gone up, service levels dropped, quality of the curry down...we'll pass the curry at the T2 branch next time. Prefer to patronize the Defu Lane flagship restaurant where the staff are attentive, friendly and helpful.

Slipper Lobster Linguine OK May 31, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American

 
This Coffee Club outlet is always crowded at lunch so you'll have to be prepared to waot if you're ordering a hot entree like pasta or meat. However the evening crowd tend to stick to ordering drinks and tapas so food service is fast. The slipper lobster linguine $18.50++ was replaced with spaghetti and baby crayfish. The crayfish was small but tasty. However the pasta was a shafe beyond al dente and there was not enough of the hearty tomato sauce to coat every strand of pasta. Not bad but not exceptional either.

Food Court's Bento OK May 27, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Food Court

 
This bento from the Junction 8's top floor's food court costs $6. The bento comprises Thai rice (not the sticky Japanese type of rice), a deep fried breaded sutchi fish cutlet, a teriyaki chicken. fillet sliced into thin pieces, some local pickled veggies (achar) and a bowl of miso sauce. The fish was not bad exvept that it had not been carefully drained of the oil that it had been fried in. Teriyaki chicken is the standard quality but there was hardly any teriyaki sauce on it, else this could be used to drench the plain rice. Everything was quite dry so I had to scoop.some miso soup onto my rice to make it less unpalatable. Nothing to rave about; just an OK meal.

Free XL Burger with XL Coke OK May 27, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Fast Food | Halal | Burgers and Sandwiches

All BK outlets had a burger promo on Tuesday 07/05/2013. With purchase of any XL Coke or Coke Light at $2.90, an XL Mushroom Swiss Burger would be on the house for one day only. Most customers went for the promo that day. The XL burger came with sliced button mushrooms, lots of melted cheese and a grilled beef patty that was bigger & thicker than that found in a whopper junior. However I found the beef

 
patty too dry. So had to add lots of chilli sauce to moisten it. No complaints since it was such great value burger & coke combo.

Tea Break OK May 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Salads/ Acai Bowl | Kids-Friendly

 
We ordered three items for sharing viz caesar salad $5.90, kungfu wings $6.90 for 3 wings and potato wedges with nacho cheese dip $5.90.

Long wait for food in the late afternoon on a Sunday, so had to remind staff to check on.our orders a couple of times. Caesar salad was ok but not worth raving about. Deepfried chicken wings were tasty if a tad too salty. Potato wedges was the best, tiny bowl of naxho cheese dip.probably redundant.
