Heard from my sister that the famous Ba Kut Tek has newly open branch in Chinatown. As i have not tried it before, i have decided to go with my parents.
Opening hours is form 10.30a.m onwards. 

We had ordered pork ribs soup, groundnuts, salted vegtables and braised dried beancurd with chicken feet. Best part is that the soup is refillable. wet tissue is chargable, so we did not use it.

We had decided to order a larger size pork rib soup costing S$9. (with 4 pork ribs). The soup was clear with strong pepper taste. Very delicious. We had refilled the soup for 3 rounds. However, i feel that the pork rib is a bit tough. 

The groundnuts and salted vegetables were awesome.

Overall, the dining experience was a pleasant one. We did not wait long for our food to be serve. Also, the soup was refill almost immediately upon request.

I was invited by friend to have Tim Sum situated on the 52th floor of Capital Tower, China Club. According to her, the restaurant is exclusive for membersonly. Also, they are offering 50% off dim sum on Saturday. 

I was late for lunch as i was held up with work. It took quite a while to get up to the restaurant. You have to take evelator to Level 2,  inform the receptionist that you are going up to the restaurant and she will hand you an access card. With the access card, take lift to level 37 and change to another lift to level 52th. Good exercise beofre you get to eat you food!

Only the Tim sum are offered at 50% off. The rest of the dishes are at normal prices. Frankly speaking, the TimSum served are so so. it does not have a "WA" effect. The fried noodles is a bit oily. The mapo eggplant sauce is nice, though. However if compared to mapo sauce at shisen hanten, i still prefer the later. You can feel the "ma" in your mouth almost immediately.

overall, it is a good experience as i will never get a chance to visit such "posh" restaurant without invitation from friend.

 

I was on the way back to office with my colleague when we saw this newly open bakery shop. We decided to give it a try as it was greatly recomended by our Japanese client.
They have a variety of  bread available. All look so tempting!!!

We have picked Tomato De Mozzarella,Caramel Apple Raisin, French Potato as well as pumpkin and potato salad.

Besides bread, they have also homemade jams, cookies on sale. everything looks so delicious.

The price of beverages are a bit steep so we decided to go for free flow of ice water avaialble for all customers.

I like the french Potato the most. You can find a whole potato inside the bread! the whole potato was very cooked. It was soft and blend well with the cheese.

Similar to the French potato, you can find a whole tomato inside tomato De Mozzarella. THe tomato is very sweet!!!! Frankly speaking, i do not like tomatoes at all but this tomato tastes like a fruit! it was so sweet an refreshing.

I had a habit of eating dessert after meal and found this stall while shopping with my friend.

The are a lot of varieties and we took a long time to decide our orders.
We had picked Yam paste & Durian mango sago. 

The yam paste was super duper nice! Tthe paste was thick and did not have a coconut milk in it. It looks like the authentic teochew style yam paste! kudos!!!! It was piping hot when it's being served to us. The staff was kind enough to give us an extra bowl and spoon for us to share between ourselves.

The durian mango sago was good as well. The mango was sweet and blended well with the durian and sago. 

It was near tea time when we arrive but the queue is acceptable.
Waiting time is about 10minutes. We will definitely go back again for more.

This restaurant was recommended by my colleague. As my parents are Tim Sum lovers, i  brought them there to try ont he food.

There were only 1-2 customers in the shop though it was lunch time. The staff were fast to notice us and offered seatss near the door as my mum was on wheelchair.

I have ordered zhe jiang Mianm prok fried dumpling, chinese pizza, red bean pancake & lastly gluntinous rice ball.

I like the chinese pizza the most. The crust was thin,crispyand the fillings were full. Unless other stalls which sells thicker skin and small fillings, you can taste every bit of the fillings. The chinese pizza tasted even nice with ginger with vinegar! I finished almost 1/3 of the ginger placed on the table! 

Pork dumplings were also well fried. Again it was a wise decision.
This is s must try order item!

For dessert, we had ordered red bean pancake & glutinous balls. Both were lovely!
The lutinous balls are of different flavours, namely, red bean, black Semase, peanut & yam.

We will definitely return back, but the next time we will consider their new outlet at orchard ION.
