Oriental Food at reasonable price Smile Sep 10, 2010

Have there often but this is the first review I have for them.
It was parent's birthday tongue

We have the family fave Beijing Duck, Claypot Toufu, Sweet Sour Pork and Vegetable Mushroom.

The Beijing Duck is a MUST-TRY. Skin is thin and crispy. The sauce and chili for the wrap is thick and fragrant. Excellent.
For the duck meat, we got them to stir-fry with ginger and spring onion. It is tasty due to the oyster sauce used in frying and you can taste the juicy duck meat.

However, the claypot Toufu is a little disappointing as it taste like those from the coffeeshop. It is filled with lettuce, make me wonder if I am paying the right price.

The Sweet Sour Pork is another family's fave.Crispy boneless pork meat fried in sour and sweet sauce. You will be able to taste the distinct sauce and makes the pork super juicy. Nice! smile

The Mushroom Vegetable is also unique coz its oyster sauce is fragrant plus you will be able to taste the mushroom freshness as they are not over-cooked.

Pandan Kaya Cake Smile Sep 10, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Peranakan / Nonya | Bakery | Desserts and Cakes

Bought a 1/2 kg Pandan Kaya Cake from here for only S$20.80 for my parents birthday.
Usually we would buy from another fave shop Swee Heng but this time, we wanted something less creamy and more healthy, esp when its for my parents.

They were kind enough to reserve one for us anytime to collect but tell you a little secret, try to collect the cakes after 7pm as its the time when the cakes will arrive fresh from the factory. Anything earlier, they will reserve the cake from the previous day.

Our decision is right. The entire cake was finished even though it was after our dinner!

You will be able to smell the pandan fragrant once we open the box and the deco is beautiful. Just like kueh lapas, inside the cake are layers of kaya "jelly" with pandan sponge cake. The hard and soft pandan kaya combination is excellent.
All loved the cake.

Next time will definitely try their other cakes.

Sushi Bar Smile Sep 10, 2010

Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Sushi/Sashimi | Kids-Friendly


This time I decided to try their sushi bar.

With a price range of S$1.99(colored plates) to S$3.99(pink plates) to S$5.99(red plates), I was overwhelmed with their variety.

First, I had the Kani Salad Sushi(S$1.99). Not as fresh and cold as I was expecting but the topping is overwhelming.

Next was Fried Hotate(S$1.99). This is excellent as it was served hot. The layer of fish fillet goes well with the usual mayo topping.

The Lobster Salad Combo(S$3.99) is great! It has salad, lobster strips, lobster roes all wrap with the egg skin. Think it is worth the price.
I will return with more photos and reviews

Great Set Meals Smile Sep 05, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Seafood | Roasted Meat


Imagine S$38 for two pax with 4 dishes.
And all of them comes in generous portions, leaving us thinking that the set meal is good for 3 pax instead.

For S$38, you will get

1) Two bowls of rice
2) Herb duck
3) Baby Kai Lan
4) Mongolian Pork Ribs
5) Lotus Soup

Other than the all time fave Herb Duck, the Mongolian Porks Ribs is also very unique. A little peppery and spicy, the crispy ribs is very appetizing.

The Baby Kai Lan has a very distinct soury taste and goes wwell with the white rice.

The Lotus Soup comes with ribs inside and it is very tasty. You can really feel the nutrients inside the soup. You'll know that the soup has been boiled for long period of time.

However, we ended up paying much more for a small plate of peanuts(S$2) and wet towl(S$0.30) and Chinese Tea(S$1.50). I recommend rejecting the peanuts and just stick to plain water.

Good expensive chips Smile Sep 04, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese


One of the best chips I have ever tasted!
The Royce Chocolate Potato Chip is filled with high quality chips with a layer of white premium chocolate.

It is a delightful mix of salty and sweet taste !
As the layer of choclate is only on one side, as you bite the chips you will taste the salty side of the chips, followed by the sweet chocolate after-taste. Excellent!

However, it is definitely expensive S$15.
