04 Jul 2011 Yuan Wei Fish Steamboat

Went to collect my graduation gown with my friends from Broadway studios at Serangoon. After the collection, we walked aimlessly, looking for something to eat for dinner. And so we stumble upon Yuan Wei Deep Sea (Giant Garoupa) Fish Porridge, Fish Steamboat. There were some pictures of celebrities on the entrance, so we decided to give it a try. The moment we stepped in, we can smell an odour of the what seems to come from the toilet! That was a pretty turn off, but it was not that bad, so we stayed to give the food a try.

Not all of us eat fishhead, so we ordered the steamboat with fish belly slices. On top of that, we added more cabbage and fried yam! Not forgetting the most important LIVE drunken prawns!! They were jumping all around in the glass bowl!

The soup was really tasty! We were discussing if it is because they added lots of msg. So we decided to wait and see if we get really thirsty after that due to the “msg effect”. The next day, we realised we did not get thirsty and decided the soup is authentically tasty! haha.

I will recommend to try it only if you are nearby. Not that awesome to make a long trip down.

Here’s the address:

1001 Serangoon Road S328165 (Tel: 62977255)

02 Apr 2010 Return to Sun with Moon & Max Brenner!

Its been a couple of years since i went to Sun with moon, a nice japanese restaurant, for a meal. The last time was with the wonderful TS gang and this time, surprise surprise, its with them again! haha. This time, however, we headed to the one at Chijmes! Why? ‘Cos, they are offering 30% off your meals over at that outlet!!

When we reached Chijmes, we were unfamiliar with the layout and we wondered abt searching high and low for the restaurant. We saw a Jap lady who seemed to be lost too. Steph said “She must be looking for Sun w/ moon, lets follow her”. I was thinking “What are the odds of a Jap lady in Singapore, food paradise, having Jap food again? boooorrrring!” So I took her on and bet with her a drink. Need i say more, who lost the bet? What the heck? You come all the way to Singapore and you still stick with japanese food? Go try something else for petes sake.

Anyways, 6 of us and we spent S$100 bucks only! The food we ordered were done nicely and we enjoyed the food. We wanted to order desserts, but the selection is very limited and the portions really small. So, we headed somewhere else for dessert.

This time we really walked north south east west for a nice place to have dessert. We first headed to Killiney cafe at Raffles city, but there were no available seats. Nearby there was Shokudo, but the queue was too long. We headed up to MOF, but steph said the standard there is not too good. We went to Citi-link next to look for Waraku, but realised it has changed to some hong kong cafe. Finally, we settled down at Max Brenner at Esplanade mall. You can imagine how relieved we were.

Chocolate Haven, i must say. Stepping into the place and the cocoa aroma lingers around you. Their selection is pretty wide and thus spoiled for choices. As you can see from the last 4 photos, 6 of us shared 3 desserts and had a cup of chocolaty drink each! Sounds little? You are so wrong!! We almost died from overdose of chocolate. haha. I ordered a Peanut butter chockie. It was like drinking plain peanut butter down! Lovely initially, killer at the end. I suggest you share it with some friends. We ordered the truffle which is very good and the chocolate banana crepe is nice too! Oh you can purchase their glass cup too, which looks quite nice. Their small fondue set can be bought too. Enjoy!

Happy Good Friday to all!!

Cheers,

Donovan

26 Mar 2010 Thai Village Restaurants

Hey there! Since we touched on Goodwood, allow me to introduce to you, if you dun already know, Thai Village Sharkfins Restaurant. The outlet i went to was, as you may already guessed, beside Goodwood Park Hotel!

I am a diver and a lover of the ocean, so as much as i m setting such a bad example, please avoid eating sharks’ fins. The cruelty of obtaining the fins and leaving the sharks to bleed to death is ruthless and unpardonable.

Ok, so lets say if you will die if u do not eat shark fins, head on down to Thai Village Sharkfins Restaurant and look forward to an array of wonderful seafood treats. The food range from abalone to crabs to prawns and many more! The main highlight is definitely the big bowl of sharkfins. The fins are succulent and smooth and it comes in a huge chunk, you can truly appreciate savouring it. Its cooked in a tasty broth which i am sure you will slurp up with the mushrooms and all. The braise superior sharkfins comes in S$60/90/120. The one in the picture is 60 dollars.

The crab beehoon is also done up nicely and is really tasty. The bake crab with vermecilli is priced at S$28/42/56. Seafood lovers will have a great time there! Price may be a bit expensive, but its worth it! Enjoy!

Location: Beside Goodwood Park Hotel @ Scotts Road

Enjoy

PS: My 5 star ratings states that i want to eat it everyday, BUT because of the cruelty of obtaining sharkfins, i will refrain from it! But do check out the other food, which are very nice too!

23 Mar 2010 Bak Kut Teh @ Toa Payoh
 |  Category: Chinese, Singapore, Toa Payoh  | Tags: ,  | Leave a Comment

Toa payoh is food galore! Coffee shops all over! Restaurants everywhere! Food outlets scattered around! A 5 mins walk from the bus interchange will bring you to this small restaurant called “Pin jia”. The Bak Kut Teh served here is not too bad. We bought the intestines too, which i found a bit expensive. If you are around the corner you can check it out.

Cheers,

This is another restaurant i love to patronise. The food served are always nice to savour! The crab fried rice which i bought is really tasty and the crab meat is fresh and succulent! Yum! The green tea cold soba’s texture is nice and smooth. Dip it into the sauce and slurp it down ur throat! Careful not to choke! The tempura, unagi and chicken were really good too! Haven been to Sushi Tei?? Head down now!

This time round we headed to the one at Paragon, Orchard Road, Singapore.

Itadakimasu!

07 Oct 2009 Long Beach Dinner Set

I’ve been always praising Long Beach’s food, we decided to order a dinner set this time round to celebrate my granny’s bday! However, not all the dishes were great. I guess, it better to choose individually the dishes you want to eat! The seafish, prawns and steam fish were really good. The crab they served was salted egg style, but its no where as good as the crab specialist’s one at Choa chu kang, SIngapore. The noodles were not up to standard too. But overall, we still enjoyed the meal! Its LONG BEACH after all! haha.

Yum Seng!
Donovan,
