Crystal Jade - Causeway Point

Ordered the set meal - BBQ combo...

Fried Tilapia Fish

Special Dish... mince poprk with salted fish... and alot of stinking parsley... if I know got so much parsley inside, I would not have oredered this! Yaks!

Si Chuan Dou Hua

Si Chuan Dou Hua Parkroyal on Coleman Street was the venue for a family dinner... my mum claimed a $40 voucher using her credit card and she suggested having dinner there to spoil ourselves.

The professional tea server very drama lo... the tea pouring performance use a one-metre long nose tea kettle to pour the tea... it is suppose to be a popular and important facet of a traditional Sichuan tea ceremony. At the Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurants, the tea servers performing 30 different stunts, including the Nodding Phoenix, Turn and Smile, Grab The Moon, Boy Prays to Buddha and Dragon Swims to Sea - but I was too engross looking at him pouring the tea that I didn't know what he did!!

So he pours hot water into this.... a refreshing concoction comprise of Red Dates, Wolfberries, Dried Longans, Chrysanthemum, Rock Sugar, Dried Lily Buds, Jasmine Tea Leaves and a herb called 'Mai Dong'. Consumption of this "treasured" blend is believed to help reduce cholesterol, aid blood circulation and increase immunity among others. Its cooling and refreshing taste makes it the perfect drink to go with the food!

1st up was the Soup.... ok... it was suppose to be finely minced chicken breast meat mixed with egg so that it looks like toufu... it was very tasty! It was very home cook... but I doubt you can make chop the meat till so fine at home lo! @$6 per bowl

The Stir-fried French Bean with Minced Meat was very good... but abit too oily... @$16

The Braised Spare Rib with Bun @$8 per pax was very good. The stick that you see is actually the bun. The meat was first fried den braised till perfection... very good!

The Dan Dan Mian was a bit too oily and spicy for me. @$5 per pax, it would be better if there was more mince meat on it.

Charles the Captain gave us complimentary dessert... Home-made Fine Beancurd with Wolfberries... I must say that the beacurd was much better den the one at rocher... but @$3 per bowl... it better be good lo!

If not for the $40 voucher, we would have to pay $100 for this dinner.... was it worth it? I guess the experience was good.. Charles had very good customer service, his words were peppered with feel good words... very GEMS :) Should have more of these ppl around! Overall... the food was good... ambience was cool... best was the service!

Samsui Chicken - Soup Restaurant

Soup Restuarant - Causeway point.

Ordered the Samsui Chicken, Pork Ribs Steam Rice and Chicken with Chinese Sausage.

The Samsui Chicken simply means steaming a plump chicken marinated in ginger. Shredded ginger would then be tossed in some stock and sesame oil and served as a dip. The cut up boneless pieces of chicken are dipped in the ginger sauce and (this is the best part), wrapped in lettuce and then chomped. They place the de-bones chicken around a huge round platter with a bowl of the ginger dip in the middle. A stack of nicely trimmed lettuce leaves accompanies it. You simply pick, dip, wrap and eat!

"The Magic of Chongqing pot" - Suntec City

The soup.... 'Ma La Tang' and 'Old Faithful Chicken Stock" boiled for hours.

The 1st round of food.... the prawns super fresh and sweet! The pork ball and slice beef was good too. We had the most of that!

The Magic lies in the sauce there. What is special about this place is that it offers four sauces: sesame paste, sesame oil, fresh chillies and chilli padi with garlic. And you are suppose to mix all of it.

The decor.... the atmosphere of an opera house is created here with the framed colorful and large masks of famous generals from the era of 'The Three Kingdoms' adorning the walls.

What i find special is the little 'desserts' they served alongside the buffet dishes...supposed to relieve the ma la taste. Definitely worth a try! There was man tou with condense milk... super yummy! The 'ba bao' tea is good too. @$4 for free flow. The Eight Treasures Tea with its healing properties restores the body's yin yang balance after a spicy meal.

New York New York - CityLink

Latest culinary addition at City Link- New York New York. Always a queue without fail... after the meal... I wonder WHY?.....

The Fried Mushroom Cappuccino... it was really errr... foamy... didn't really like it... soup was rather salty!

Fried mushroom... yeah... I think I was feeling mushy that day... ordered another mushroom dish... comprising only 2 types of mushroom... Golden Mushroom and Shitake, I tot there were many types of mushrooms, why limit it to only 2 types? Rather expensive!

Looks kind of undercook isn't it? Sigh... disappointment... looks like it was just popped into the mircowave and put on high for 20 secs to melt the cheese before serving it... the food came out rather fast... kind of weird!

I think I can do this myself.... the meat ball was like any other meatballs... it was quite dry! Hardly any sauce at all... LOUSY!

Verdict: A no no... do not waste your time standing in the queue for this... though the decor is nice, the food really is lousy! I think you can get better food elsewhere!

Kuriya - Raffles City

Had dinner with William, Xiaowei and dear at Kuriya (means kitchen in Japanese)

The place to enjoy high quality food & good rice wine. Too bad we are not into sake. The menu offers a wide range of dishes prepared in various Japanese culinary styles, from grilled, steamed, hotpots, deep-fried to sushi and sashimi. With such extensive offerings combine with descriptions of the various dishes, browsing through the menu does take time. And really we did take a lot of time... actually reason being... the ala carte food were very ex and we dunno what to eat! Too expensive!!! So verdict.... Nice decor... expensive food... good company!

Dinner with Martin

Martin is flying off... so had dinner with him at Sushi Tei, the one at FES.... didn't really take alot of pictures cos was so hungry! And the waitress who served us was new... so the food served was not what we wanted... in the end, the manager reprimanded her and Xiaoming saw her crying in the pantry area! Poor thing... but it was not our fault! Blame it on the menu!

Sketches

Not eaten here for a long time! I enjoy the whole meal... sorry... again too hungry! Forgot to take pictures!
