The raw chicken satay is grilled when you put your order. After about 10 mins, the yummy tender satay is served to your table with sliced cucumber and sliced onions. You also get pipping hot peanut sauce to go with it. I like than the chicken fillet is not tough and moist with a nice char taste.Yet it is not burn. It cost only 50 cents a stick.

This satay stall I will definitely ordered when I am in this Haig Road Hawker Center.

I ordered the Coffeeb Bean Xmas Party which cost $40 for 20 pieces. If order online it cost only $32. It consist of 4 types of Sweet Xmas cakes in mini version. They are Mini Stollen, Mini Linzer Tart, Mini Chocolate-Mint Tart, and Virginia Brownie. Each type has 5 pieces. Mini Stollen
It looks like swiss roll but has bits of raisins in the center. I could not taste the Mazipan and found it a bit dry.

Mini Linzer Tart
This is like almond cake sandwich with raspberry jam. The jam gives it a tart taste to the crumbly cake.

Chocolate-Mint Tart
I like the chocolate tart in the shape of a min teacup with smooth chocolate and a hint of mint. I like this best among the sweet choices.

Virginia Brownie
The chocolate brownie is rich with chocolate and a decorated with a red and white mushroom decorations.

All the sweet snacks has Xmas decoration on top. The best decoration is the Santa Claus with different poses on top of the Chocolate-Mint Tart.

This is a nice Xmas party pack which lets us try different Xmas Goodies in small portions. One pack is good for small family to share or for Office Party. You can order multiple pack if bigger group.

We were invited by OpenRice for this food tasting session at Uncle Leong Seafood last Saturday. It was our first time here. What a surprise to find a cluster of eating places behind Riviera LRT (PE4) station. Among them Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant is hidden behind a Billiard Room and along the jogging track of Punggol East waterway. There is a prawning pond beside it.

Ambience

As we enter the Restaurant, you will notice there is a lots of huge crabs shells decorated around the place. It has an air-con section and a second door led to a covered outdoor patio which overlook the jogging track of Punggol.

Golden Beancurd

 

The tofu was a combination of seafood and beancurd lightly pan fried to golden brown. The texture is soft and suitable for both children and elderly folks. It look like pieces of gold bar which is Auspicious to order during Chinese New Year. To me the taste of this dish is average and dipping the tofu into the plum sauce greatly enhanced it.

Chineses Spinach with Eggs

 

The Spinach is cooked with 3 types of Eggs. The chicken Egg helps to thicken and gives a smooth gravy. The Salted egg and Century Egg gives it a contrasting taste and texture. It has crispy Anchovies sprinkle on top for added dimension.

Fortune Chicken

 

A whole spring chicken is used for this dish cooked in Chinese Herb. It has a light herb taste with lots of gravy cooked with mushroom and fish maw.

Chye Poh Steam Fish

 

The Steam Red Garoupa with Chye Poh (Preserved Vegetables) has a light Soya Sauce and sprinkle with light golden brown crunchy chye poh. This dish could be improved if more ginger is used when steaming the fish. This will help get rid of the slightly fishing taste.

Guinnnes Pork Ribs

 

The pan-fried pork ribs is tender and nicely fried with a thin batter coating. Then a yummy liquid black gold sauce made from Guinness Stout coats the pork ribs. This is one of the best Guinness Pork Ribs that I have tasted.

Claypot Crab Bee Hoon Soup

 

This dishes looks like a relaxing crab sitting in a Sauna Bath with it claws up in the air. It look pretty impressive and the taste matches it. This Claypot Crab Bee Hoon Soup has a sweet and tasty broth made from the crab and served with thick Bee Hoon. It can be a meal by itself.

Shimmering Sand Crab Delight

 

Their Signature Crab is the Shimmering Sand Crab Delight. It is a light creamy sauce made of butter, white pepper and curry leaves. It is sprinkle with oats which gives it a sandy look. This is the owner Uncle Leong's creation. I like that the sauce is not a heavy based cream and the curry leaves and oat add a nice touch to the dish.

Yam Paste and Longan Sea Coconut

 

We were served with 2 types of desserts. Yam Paste with Gingko and Longan with Sea Coconut. I found the Yam Paste too sweet, especially the coconut milk.

Service
The service could be improved if they provide finger bowls when serving crabs dishes instead of just wet tissue. They should change plates for each customer half way during the meals and not at the end of the meals.

Overall their Signature and Recommended dishes are very well cooked and executed but the other dishes we tasted were average to me. They seem to specialized in Crab dishes. I noticed one of the table nearby ordering Black Pepper Crab which looks very good. Even the boss son Jeff mentioned they do a very good Chili Crab. He was attentive and receptivity to our comments and suggestion for improvement.

As a suggestion for more business, they could create a Special Crab Banquet Menu with their Signature Crab dish and other dishes using crab meat at Reasonable Price . I am sure it will be popular with those Crab lovers in Singapore.

We enjoyed the food very much that we ordered Fried Mee Sua and Guinness Pork Rib as takeaway for our parents to try. We paid for our takeaway.

Thanks to the Generousity of Uncle Leong and OpenRice, I found another Seafood Place where I can take my family and overseas visitors.

This is one of the restaurant that I have wanted to try for a long time. A good opportunit presented itself when it was part of the dinning week Restaurant. I managed to secure a lunch booking when they open up the BMW day for public to booked.At $25++ for lunch, it was value for lunch with a choice of Appetizer and Mains. It even serve coffee or tea not like some places where we had to order expensive mineral water. This places even provide free plain water. Thumb up

The ambience is more of a bistro as the name suggested, so do not go expecting it as high end Restaurant standard. Normal day prices are reasonable with the portion size they served. The place is decorated like a cafe with simple table and chair. Food is better than Delifrance.

As there were 4 of us, we get to try the 2 different Appertizer and the 2 different Mains.Complimentary bread roll and butter was served while we wait for our 1st course.The salmon and cod terrain has a pink and white combinations sitting on top a herbed tartar sauce. The taste of fish is not fishing when eaten with the creamy white sauce. It comes with a side of salad.I prefer my choice of baked Escargot in herb. It came piping hot in a special escargot plate which has hole for the little snail. It was covered with lots of herbs that look like hot green moss. The snails were chewy and the melted hot butter herb combinations, make this appertizer a pleasure to eat.Sis ordered the Halibut Steak with Pilaf rice. The tasty and fluffy rice was served in a mini red pot and a huge portion of lightly pan fried fish to go with it. I like the slight crisp of the fish except that I find the fish too bony.The rest of us ordered Crispy Roast Pork Belly which we get a slice. It may look small but was filling for me as it came with creamy and smooth mashed potatoe. The pork was crispy and meat very tender. I really enjoy this dish.For dessert it was the yummy Opera Cake. Cake was decent even though it was simply decorated with a pocky stick.

After hearing so much about Whampoa Makan Place, we finally got to try this hawker center. Since it is our first time here, we did not realise that there is 2 different blocks adjacent to each other. We ended up in the quiet section, which most stalls open later.

One of the item we order is this black carrot cake.
According to the sign board their carrot cake is homemade. It has a soft texture and cut into small cubes.
It is nicely fried with sweet black sauce and sprinkle with chopped spring onions. The taste is not bad but nothing special
