English dinner Smile Nov 17, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : English | Steaks and Grills

First time eating at a English restaurant in Singapore since i came back from London.

Ambience is quite romantic and english. They also have a stage for live music but i guess it will be on friday or weekends i heard. So there's no chance to listen to live music today...

They have set dinner which i find is value for money. Today's set dinner, i chose their mixed grill combo set that comes with soup and dessert and coffee too!

 
This mixed grill consist of tenderloin steak, lamb, chicken...it's indeed a nicely done main course! especially the steak, it's tender and juicy, every piece of meat well marinated too.

 
Soup is normal nothing much to brag about.

 
Well they also serve the breads before the start of our main course. However they serve the breads with a french butter ! haha...but i think president brand butter is good and of high quality. The bread serving is only once, unlike french dining they serve free flow of breads....

 
Creme brulee as dessert- It's good not too sweet. However i would still prefer desserts at french restaurant.

 
Another side dish - chicken wings to be shared with others. Very well marinated and crispy. I love the french fries too.

Will recommend to others

Lunch at Kim Gary OK Oct 19, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong

Kim Gary is a Hong Kong style restaurant. It's more like a Hong Kong fast food chain stall to me actually.

Surprisingly their pork chop lunch set was quite good. Pork chop was well marinated and taste good. Crispy on the outside yet not too oily! Also the rice portion given is just right and goes along well with the pork chop instead of fries.

The lunch set is selling at S$8.90 also comes with borsh soup and a hot drink of your choice. Hence i have ordered the silky smooth "yuan yan" teh.

All in all i would say it's a good lunch and value for money!

Birthday celebration for Boss! OK Oct 04, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Halal

We had a surprise birthday celebration for our boss! Lunch in in the office by ordering food from Deli Hub.

Deli hub Catering is a halal caterer so it suits us as we have malay staffs. They have promotion for set menus during weekdays for example the Mini buffet that we ordered was only S$12.88 per person instead of S$13.88 per person for a selection of 8 dishes!

Thai pineapple fried rice is quite tasty. Rice not too soggy and quite fragrant. Steam Har Kau is good too. Filling is generous and fresh. Rendang chicken is so so to me though. It's not spicy and don't have a lot of potatoes! sad Deli Chap Chye is among one of the best dishes ordered! No wonder it's the first dish to be finished! Healthy and crunchy! Sotong Yu Tiao and butter prawn was ok and not fantastic though. It's a bit wet and soggy perhaps it's not served hot.

We also ordered some side dishes like mutton satay. Well this is to my dismay...meat is too hard and strong smell.

The mini cream puff is my favourite though. Sweetness is just nice that i had to take 2 servings smile

They do provide free disposable cutlery sets & sauces. However the food is delivered in disposable microwavable container, so it's best to be consumed as soon as the food arrived!

Dinner at Nanxiang Smile Sep 13, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Shanghainese | Restaurant | Dim Sum

This is my first time visiting Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant. Because i'm not quite a fan of "xiao long bao" so i've not visited this restaurant earlier.

However to my surprise, their food quality is quite good!

 
sauteed egg white with milk and crab meat - I personally like this dish very much. Tasted just nice and very healthy to me. Crab meat was very fresh and crunchy too! Combined with the egg white smells nice too! No wonder it's one of their signature dish!

 
dried scallop with shredded eggs soup- however this soup is just ok for me. Quite a lot of dried scallop in the soup but it doesn't have the sweet scallop taste. Instead it taste like wanton soup to me.

 
fresh pork filling steamed bun- Signature dish as well. Pork is indeed fresh and the soup filling taste good too!

 
stir fried baby french beans- A normal dish without any signature thumbs up in the menu, but to my surprise it's very good! "wok hei" is very good and very fragrant.

 
Golden pumpkin cake- This is my favourite dessert! The pumpkin paste is just nice and not too sweet. Also it's not too oily. Double thumbs up from me! smile

Good Italian cuisine Smile Sep 05, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Restaurant | Pasta | Chinese Soup | Salads/ Acai Bowl

This is a very homely type of italian restaurant nestled at wessex estate along portsdown road.

Started off with

 
Insalata con Pere e Pecorino which is a mixed salad with pecorino cheese, pear and toasted pine nuts. Acceptable salad. The pear added makes the salad quite refreshing, but i would prefer more balsamic vinegar on it though..

Next come the

 
Quattro Formaggi which is the four cheese pizza! Cheese used : Italian Mozzarella, Parmesan Cheese, Emmenthal Cheese and Blue Cheese. Not too salty and just nice. The dough base is very crispy and soft too!

Our main courses:

 
Coscia D'anatra in Dolce e Forte- Traditional duck leg recipe from south of Tuscany. The duck is stewed with red wine, vinegar, raisins and dark chocolate. This dish by itself is normal in taste. However after i drank the italian red wine below( bring our own and not ordered from the restaurant), it really brings out the duck flavour and certainly enhanced the flavour and fragrance of the duck! What a surprise.

 
Italian red wine

 
Costolette di Agnello Stufate- Stewed lamb rack with wine, fresh tomatoes and black olives. Is definitely one of their specialty and must try! Lamb was stewed to perfection and the meat is juicy and succulent!

To complete the meal with desserts is a must!

 
La Torta di Pistocchi- Highly recommended by the waiter for chocolate lovers! Proven to be good as it really melts in mouth with a lingering effect to crave for more! smile According to them it's imported direct from Florence and the cake is made only from chocolate, cocoa and a little cream! Without any sugar added, flour, MGOs etc which normally is used to make cakes ...so it's quite healthy to eat i guess! haha...

 
Cannoli- One of the most famous italian desserts is a must try too! It's actually a Sicilian pastry with a tube-shape pastry dough with sweet fillings inside.

 
Recommended Dish(es):  Stewed lamb shank, cannoli, la torto di pistocchi
