So my family and I came here for a dinner after it's newly renovated. We had the set menu for 10 pax at $488++

FOOD
Since it's a Teochew restaurant setting, their first dish of the set menu is the Teochew-styled platter which comprises of slices of duck and pork, some pieces of tau pok, and many quarters of braised eggs. It's quite salty if eaten plainly without rice.The scallops are well marinated with the XO sauce and the broccoli is well-cooked - not too hard or soft.One of my favourite dish in the set menu. The fish skin is quite crispy, tantalizing one's tastebuds. The prawns balls on the other hand tastes more like a sotong ball though.The gravy is one of my "grading criteria" that I look for when tasting the different ways fish are being cooked. For this particular dish, I like the gravy. Not too salty, and is rather sweet-smelling, which makes it appealing. The fish maw are soft and soggy, which are easy to bite. Taste good too!The teochew-stlyed noodle, which has those standard ingredients cooked elsewhere. Taste quite bland and dry. Lastly, this desert is my top favourite for the day! It's a newly-created desert that is wrapped by a coconut, which has coconut ice-cream and coconut pudding in it. The serving is topped off by lotus seeds, which creates the feeling of nuttiness in your tastebuds!

SERVICE
I have always admired the service of Tung Lok Group Restaurants. I think their staffs are trained in a certain way that they must present the best service so as to promote the company's goodwill in customers. The staffs here will take the initiative to take extra chairs for you to place your bags on it, so that you can sit back comfortably on your chair. Brilliant move!

Fried Fish Soup - $4.30

I'd always loved the fried fish soup over here. The fish fillet is crispy on the outside, but soft and tender on the inside. The soup is also quite tasty. Usually I would request them to add milk to it. Their milk smells quite nice, which makes the soup tantalizing! They also add many ingredients to it, like vegetables, toufu and tomato. It's quite filling to the stomach if you finished the whole bowl of soup. Alternatively, you can request to add a bowl of rice for $0.50 if you think having soup alone is not enough for a meal.

Tried out one of KOI's new creations:Mango Macchiato - $3.20

I like the strong flavour of Mango, and it's quite a refreshing drink to quench your thirst! However, when the cream starts to mix with the mango, it taste very sweet, even though I have already reduced the sugar level to 50%. The mixture taste not as nice as the black tea macchiato though. MY favourite is till black tea macchiato.

Another thing that I like about the KOI outlet is that they provide chairs for customers to sit down and charge their phone. They provide plugs and even charger for iphone users! how awesome is that! A good waiting place to sit and play with your phone without the worry of draining your battery away. It's also a good place for friends to sit down and chit chat after dinner..

Black Tea Macchiato - $2.40

Black tea topped off with whipped cream. What a creamy mixture! Although I have reduced the sugar to 50%, it still taste rather sweet. The other sweetness partly comes from the milk. I think 25% sugar level would be more ideal to taste the full flavor of the drink. It's quite a refreshing drink when you suddenly feel like having tea in the afternoon, just that it's the chilled version, unlike the traditional pipping hot english tea.

The KOI here is like a cafe. They have tables and chairs for you to sit around as you sit chat with your friends. The surroundings are quite quiet and peaceful too.

Taro Bun

As a yam lover, I'm crazy with food that has got to do with yam... I chanced upon this Taro bun while browsing what to buy for breakfast, and bought to try it without hesitation!

The bun is quite soft, and has some few peas on top of it. It's rich in yam, and sweetness level is just right. One of my favourite yam bun on my list now!
