Simple and good Smile Oct 28, 2010

I fell in love with this humble dish in Shanghai when I had it for the first time. Pu Tien’s version of spinach with salted egg and century egg ($12.90++) is superb, all thanks to the sweet and flavourful supreme stock!

The stir-fried yam ($10.90++) is what made me interested to visit Pu Tien. Coated with a sweet sticky glaze, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these little cubes of carbs didn’t disappoint! So addictive that I pretty much finished this whole dish on my own, haha.

Another star dish of the night for us was the homemade beancurd ($8.90++) which had an incredibly smooth and silky texture. So simple, yet so good.

I went “I want that” when I saw the claypot sea cucumber with chestnuts ($35.90++) on the menu cuz I love both sea cucumber and chestnuts! Sadly, there’s only 2 or 3 chestnuts in the claypot (as though thrown in as an afterthought) but the sea cucumber was great. Firm, gelatinous and not too rubbery-tough-to-chew~

Excellent! Smile Oct 28, 2010

Yay, I finally went to Tatsuya, a key stalwart in Singapore’s Japanese dining scene =) And happy to report that my meal there was nothing short of excellent!

I love eel, anything eel will do, so the delicate anago sushi ($14++) suited me perfectly. The chu-toro sushi ($24++) was slightly disappointing though, with tendons in it so the melt-in-the-mouth effect was somewhat ruined.

Continuing my obsession with eel, this plump simmered eggplant topped with grilled unagi is my favourite dish from Tatsuya. It’s quite brilliant to pack a combination of chopped eggplant and rich tender unagi into the deep eggplant shell! Made eating this so much easier too~

A nice fatty slab of grilled miso cod ($23.80++) that’s faultless~

I wish the green tea flavour was a tad stronger but otherwise, all the 3 flavours (black sesame and yuzu) were good!

Raw food cuisine Smile Oct 28, 2010

Categories : Hotel

I totally enjoyed my first “raw food experience” at Saf Restaurant in London earlier this year so I was rather excited when I read from the ST that Chef Matthew Kenney will be in town from 11 to 17 Oct to introduce his haute raw food cuisine at One-Ninety in the Four Seasons Hotel. I went there twice this week, once for dinner ($98++ for 5-course), the second time for the weekend lunch buffet ($48++).

Out of the 8 or so appetisers I tried, I’m partial towards the colourful kimchi dumplings and the black sesame and white coconut dumplings! I love the different textures in each and the seasonings make it so full-flavoured.

For mains, I like the gnocchi, which is surprising since I’ve never fancy those potato dumplings. This wasn’t starchy or doughy at all, so unlike the real McCoy!

Dessert samplers at the buffet include strawberry tart, key lime pie, pumpkin pie and my favourite — a luscious chocolate tart that’s absolutely un-raw-like. The crust is rock-hard but that’s easily overlooked for the most fantastic combination of rich chocolate and spicy chilli in the mousse-like pie filling!

Monstrous dessert yay! OK Oct 28, 2010

The Ugly Salmon Cakes ($14.90) ain’t too ugly. These are hand-molded so don’t expect perfectly shaped pan-grilled patties of savoury salmon and hand-mashed potatoes. Tasty but it would have been better if they are drained before serving cuz the pool of oil pretty much ruined the salad (think soggy greens).

The week’s dessert: layered ice cream mudpie with secret pleasures ($10.50). Monstrous in size, this requires the combined effort of 4 to polish off. While I wish that there’s more ice cream, the layers of pretzels and nuts and cookie dough base are pleasing to crunch on. And what I love most is the cured balsamic strawberries on the side while the warm caramel Baileys butterscotch just make this even more sinful, I like!

We had the 4 course set lunch ($28++) which I thought was very good value for money.

My first starter of soft pure egg white topped with dried scallop on a bed of fried crispy potato nest was absolutely delish! Love the whole combination and interplay of different textures. I also added a few drops of black or apple vinegar to spruce up the flavours.

This was followed by an aromatic double-boiled black chicken soup which tasted like my grandma’s homecooked soup.

The main course is a trio of braised cod fish, golden fried rice and a stuffed chicken wing. I changed the chicken wing to deep-fried dace fish skin instead and this reminds me of the fabulous fish skin I had in Hong Kong. So crispy and non-oily.

Fresh fish that’s perfectly cooked always seal the deal for me and this cod was especially tasty paired with the salty-tangy sauce of celery and parsley. If I have to nitpick, it’s that the rice would be even nicer if it wasn’t so hard and tough.

Dessert was a bowl of chilled (or hot) double-boiled pear that’s so light and refreshing that it doesn’t even feel like dessert.
