Wonderful Smile Jul 28, 2012

This can be considered as one of my most frequently eaten dish. I love the zhu char kway teow here! The kway teow is the thin kind, it is smooth but yet offers a really nice bite. The soup is wonderful, probably simmered many hours in pork bone and prawn heads. The soup is full bodied, very flavourful add a dose of chili powder and it becomes perfect. Generous portion of kidney, pig's heart, pork, intestine and pig skin. If you are into eating the innards, this is the perfect bowl of noodles for you!

Cheap and good Smile Jul 28, 2012

I chose the yummiest dishes amongst all the other buffet items we had. I was surprise by the crowd on a week day 3pm. Maybe it is due to the groupon offers? Or maybe cause it is a youth day holiday. But anyhow, judging from the crowd, i knew that the food cant be too bad. Oh yes i didnt have high expectations.. ha maybe cos it was a groupon offering.
The other surprise I had was the push trolley method that this restaurant adopts, so retro! It functions like a banquent style where all the diners are offered the same dishes at one time.

This is quite unique, fried durian prawns. Yummy!

 
I love the black seasame bun, bite into the bun and thick creamy sesame oozes out

 
this is the custard egg yolk bun, not bad

 
egg tarts

 
char siew sou

 
Kueh pie tie is a unique offering for a dim sum place

 
I think this is the delicious beef tendon.

 
Overall a very satisfying meal, cheap and good!

Por Kee revisted Smile Jul 28, 2012   (Related Review)

Por kee is one of those places that i visit pretty often. Maybe not because the food is extremely fantastic but because it brings back a certain nostalgia. Or maybe just being in Tiong Bharu residential estate gives you that kind of homely feely. Anyway this place is not cheap, they serves pretty expensive dishes for a tze char restaurant. There is outdoor and indoor sitting. You need to make advance reservation if you want to be seated indoors. The restaurant is also separated into 2 sites, just adjacent from each other.

This is one of the popular dishes, champagne pork ribs. I felt it was much better the last time we ate. Maybe it was the wrong pork that we ordered? I remember the last time each one of us were given a fork and knief for this dish, and all of us were serve one slab of pork ribs. Hmm not this time though

 
Pretty ordinary chicken

 
I love sweet potato leaves, so well, i certainly love this dish

 
Salted egg crayfish was very good! A very distinctive salted egg taste, very crispy some so crispy that you could even eat part of the shell. The meat was firm and juicy.

 
Sotong was so so

 
Tom yum steamfish was delicious, they used to be able to provide free top up of the tom yum soup but not anymore

 
This is the seafood treasures with lots of sea cucumber, toufu and scallops. Yum!

east meets west Smile Jul 28, 2012

Pepperoni was close so no choice had to walk across the road to great world city for pizza. Overall I am not a fan of skinny pizza as the name suggest, it is a little bit too skinny, I prefer the pizza base with more bite, more chewy and more substance. Not so skinny and crispy.
Anyhow the toppings for the pizzas was quite generous as you can see from the photo. This is the interesting English Breakfast Pizza with rocket leaves, bacon, tomato and a sunny side up egg, really seems like an English breakfast meal.

 
The squid ink risotto was not bad, quite tasty.

 
Mushroom soup was thick, creamy and mushroomy

 
This is some Chicken curry or chicken tikka / masala pizza, pretty unique too. Like the spices in the pizza. East meets West.

Pretty yummy spring rolls

 
The chives siew mai

 

 
Okie this looks better than it taste, especially the carrot, i actually dont really know what it is.
